I travelled 100 miles to get dumped and have the world’s worst sex

‘I don’t think this is moving out,’ my date, John, announced over brunch.

Suddenly, the portion of sourdough toast I’d been enjoying turned to ash successful my rima and I could feel my cheeks burning bright reddish arsenic I tried my champion to support my composure.

Usually I tin grip rejection beauteous well, but these were peculiar circumstances.

I had just travelled from London to Bristol – astir 117 miles – to spot him for what was lone our second date.

After picking maine up astatine the autobus stop we headed to a packed café. It mightiness look brainsick to task this acold for idiosyncratic you’ve met erstwhile but John worked overseas a batch – and we’d besides spent six weeks having telephone and video calls.

We had nary peculiar plans beyond a spot of sightseeing of his hometown, though a sleepover was definitely on the cards.

I’ve ever been 1 for an escapade truthful I shoved my nerves speech and took the leap. 

Yet, not 1 hr into said date, here helium was dumping me. 

Like the eggs connected my plate, my encephalon felt similar it had been scrambled.

I enactment my sheet speech and called the server implicit to inquire for the bill

The humiliation stung and I wasn’t rather definite however to respond. And then the choler kicked in…

‘Are you serious?’ I asked, wounded palpable successful my voice. He tried to apologise but couldn’t look to find the words to explain why he was dumping maine earlier our day had adjacent afloat begun.

I enactment my sheet speech and called the server implicit to inquire for the bill. This only made the situation more awkward arsenic they worriedly asked if thing was incorrect with the meal, which was each but untouched.

I then excused myself, leaving John to wage – determination was nary accidental successful hellhole I was going to connection to spell halves, arsenic I usually would.

Shellshocked, I waited extracurricular and erstwhile helium finally exited the venue, he had an awkward look connected his face. 

He past offered to thrust maine to the autobus stop, which I accepted arsenic I didn’t cognize the mode backmost and wanted an reply for what had conscionable happened earlier I near for good. 

All the awkwardness betwixt america melted distant and our carnal attraction took hold

On the way, John explained that he wasn’t definite if we had a future but had been too nervous to accidental anything, particularly arsenic I’d travel specified a agelong way. He besides admitted to having felt conflicted, which is wherefore helium didn’t archer maine this beforehand.

I promptly reminded him that this was lone our 2nd date. I wasn’t expecting a connection – conscionable a amusive day wherever we would get to cognize each other.

But he’d ruined immoderate accidental of that earlier we’d adjacent got started. 

At immoderate constituent during our chat though, and I’m inactive not rather definite however it happened, we decided that I should enactment truthful we could springiness this a existent shot.

John drove america to his location truthful I could driblet disconnected my container and the program was to spell for drinks astatine his section pub. But, portion looking astir his place, the horn hit.

Suddenly, all the awkwardness betwixt america melted distant and our carnal attraction took hold. 

We rushed upstairs to person enactment and past it each went horribly wrong. Again!

The enactment was perfectly awful.

Our bushed was off, the country was excessively quiescent and the full happening felt astir arsenic spicy arsenic watching idiosyncratic fold laundry.

To marque matters worse, afterwards, John told maine that I reminded him of his ex. What a gentleman.

Fed up, I told him I was officially done. I had no further interest successful this day romantically oregon sexually and I conscionable wanted to spell home.

There was conscionable 1 problem: There were no much buses until morning.

With nary different choice, I decided to put my choler aside. Even though our day had been a disaster, I could consciousness that John wasn’t a atrocious guy, helium was conscionable quite… inexperienced. So I suggested that we spell to the pub for a fewer drinks arsenic friends.

Surprisingly, this ended up being quite fun. We had excessively galore drinks – astir of which John paid for, arsenic a mode of an apology – and I made friends with a fewer women successful the smoking country who offered their sympathies aft I told them what had happened.

Then I remembered a former enactment buddy and person of mine, Ethan, lived astir 2 hours’ thrust away. Feeling tipsy, I texted him and asked if helium would see rescuing maine from having to enactment implicit astatine John’s place.

Within minutes I had a reply. ‘I’m connected my way,’ it said and determination was even a photograph of him getting into the car to amusement that helium was serious.

A jolt of excitement deed my body, followed by panic. How would I archer John astir this?

While the antheral had been little than courteous towards me, I inactive didn’t privation to beryllium rude. But considering however the time had started, I questioned whether he’d adjacent care. Perhaps he’d beryllium relieved.

However, helium was distraught erstwhile I broke the news. I kept it brief, simply saying that a person would beryllium picking maine up.

‘Please, don’t leave,’ helium begged, adding that helium felt he’d made a mistake and possibly determination was thing betwixt america aft all.

I was beauteous definite that was the intoxicant talking but John seemed genuinely contrite.

I person nary hard feelings astir what happened due to the fact that John taught maine a invaluable lesson

It couldn’t beryllium astir him getting laid, due to the fact that I doubted either of america wanted a repetition of that misery, but it surely made maine ponder my options.

Popping extracurricular for immoderate caller air, I consulted my caller friends successful the smoking area who eagerly cheered maine connected and recommended that I effort doorway fig two. Then, 1 of the women asked maine to see what I would take if I was backmost location and not successful a stranger’s city.

This advice, on with each bony successful my body now telling maine to ‘get out’, was the last nail successful the coffin. It was clip to extremity this bizarre day and determination on.

A fewer hours later, Ethan pulled into the pub parking lot and alleviation washed implicit maine – on with excitement, arsenic I knew bully enactment was connected the cards. 

I hugged John goodbye portion wishing him each the best. He said ‘I truly americium sorry’ arsenic helium watched maine locomotion retired of the pub.

Thankfully my nighttime got a full batch amended from there on out.

Ethan booked america into a hotel, we had decent enactment and I passed retired connected a bully comfy bed. The adjacent greeting helium drove maine backmost to London.

There was ne'er thing superior betwixt us, even aft helium rescued maine that night, but we person really remained friends nearly 10 years on. 

As for John, I ne'er heard from him again.

I person nary hard feelings astir what happened due to the fact that helium taught maine a invaluable lesson.

If astatine archetypal you don’t succeed, don’t try again. And ne'er stray further than Zone 6 for a 2nd date.
