Fun date memory:
It was the first date with the guy I ended up marrying, we went ice skating,
and my sister and her friends "innocently" decided to go ice skating as
well. I was 16, my sister and I didn't really get along, and she was
driving my car. So I set off the car alarm and she didn't know how to turn
it off.
Poor judgment in make-out location:
My parents' van, mom and dad in the front, pastor and sister in the middle
seat, my boyfriend and I making out way too much in the back seat. :)
(same boyfriend in both stories, now we've been married almost 8 years)

This is from my school's newspaper (which I worked on) and Walker is a
spanish teacher from school (Burl Walker):
Get Your Roommate a Date' night went awry when the girl I was set up with,
unbeknownst to me, was on her very first date ever. The date itself went
fine, a night at the theatre and dinner with 40 of our friends. She fell in
love; I didn't," said Walker.
"So, to make matters worse, I talked to an old friend and she agreed to pose
as or to be my girlfriend to help me avoid a confrontation with the previous
date. When date girl heard about my girlfriend, she left campus and didn't
return. After a couple days, the police found her living under a bridge and
admitted her into the local mental hospital," said Walker.

Getting Caught Making Out
So I'd been dating this girl for quite some time and we would head out to this
secluded parking lot in the middle of nowhere and just talk, which would eventually
lead to the making out. One time we had turned off the car and had finished making
out when we were about to drive away when the car refused to start. We ended up
having to call her dad to come drive out to this middle of nowhere spot to jump
start a fogged up care that was suspiciously overlooking the stars and the town. If
that wasn't bad enough I almost electrocuted her dad when I put the cables on wrong.
After about half an hour of the most terrifying looks I've ever got, I was
chauffeured home in silence by her father. I haven't spoken to him to this day and
that girlfriend became an ex-girlfriend who I no longer talk to.

Once in high school, my then girlfriend and I were enjoying a tonsil hockey
session on her pink plaid couch. Her parents had gone to bed and my curfew
was fast approaching. It was dark in the living room and she was sitting in
my lap while we were smooching. All was well until I heard a raspy male
voice utter: "Oh my." Her father, dressed in his boxers and rubbing his
sleepy eyes had walked in. I immediately jumped up and headed toward the
door.
"I think it's time for bed," he told his daughter.
"Yeah, me too. I was just about to go home," I said, trying to act casual
and failing miserably.
My girlfriend looked at me with fear in her eyes and the uspoken thought
that this was our last goodbye. It turned out not to be. She only got a
lecture on why you shouldn't sit in boys laps and "Oh my!" became a common
joke with her family. All was well...and then she dumped me on my birthday
a few years later.
Oddly enough I now own the pink plaid couch but my fiancee has informed me
it won't be allowed in our home once we're married.

Hola relevant peeps!
Greetings from the BAY AREA!
The strangest place that I have ever made out with a guy was a storage
closet under some stairs. The stairs where in a church during a youth group
lock-in. Really, whose idea is it to have forty or more teenagers play a
version of hide and go seek in a large church with all of the lights off?
Smart. This isn't that strange until you find out that we were three
eleven-year-old girls in the closet with us. They knew exactly what we were
doing and just sat there. After the game was over the girls asked me for
advice. I hang my head in shame.
I agree with Jesse in that youth retreats/camps/ lock-ins are "pits of
debauchery". They not only mean hooking up, but also a lot of girlfights.
Thank you for making such a nice podcast each week. Even though you might
put yourselves down, I really appreciate your dedication to your listeners.
I know that you all have busy lives and I'll be sending some snackage your
way soon.
[heart],

I grew up in Gilbert, AZ where there is a mormon church on every corner. When my
husband and I were dating and we went home from college to visit my family, the
prime "parking" spot was the mormon church parking lot. Thankfully, we never got
caught because that surely would have been awkward.

My strangest date was what I now refer to as "Red Neck Date Night" where we
ate BBQ, then went to a firing range to shoot guns. The only thing that
could have made it more red neck was heading to the poles to vote
republican.

This date wasn't really strange as much as it was a bit awkward. My wife and I (and
our two boys but they don't really factor into this story) moved to Germany last
summer. We hadn't been here too long when we decided to have a date night. We
found a babysitter and headed off to this little country restaurant up on a small
hill surrounded by apple orchards. We get there and the place is packed, not an
available table in sight. So we just stand there waiting for a hostess or somebody
to come find us a table or tell us how long of a wait it will be. Nothing. I tried
asking the guy behind the bar if there were any table available to which he replied
"no" and went back to work. So after just standing there like a couple of dumb
foreigners for about 5-10 minutes I found someone else to ask if we could have a
table. She looked around the room and then told us to follow her. She then seated
us at a table with two other couples, telling us that this table was reserved at 8
pm (it was only 6 and the time) so we shouldn't plan on sitting there all night. So
there we were, sitting with two other German couples (who didn't know each other
either by the way) eating our schnitzel, trying not to stare at each other and
everyone talking in hushed voices so as not to disturb one another. Needless to
say, we didn't stick around for 2 hours. Being new to the country and not really
knowing the language it was a bit awkward. But it was a great cultural experience
and wonderful food.

P.S. If I ever get around to it, I'll send some
German chocolate your way.

Hey guys,
I'm a really big fan. You guys make me laugh my tail off
every week. This is my first time writing in except for my bee story
on the podcast fodder board.
I had been dating this girl from work for a couple of weeks. I
was 16 and she was 21. Needless to say my mom didn't like her. One
school night she wanted to meet her in the parking lot after work. My
mom wouldn't let me go and after a long bit of argument she made the
mistake of trying some reverse-psychology on me and told me to go.
Without any hesitation I was out the door. About 3am mid-make out we
hear this tap on the glass and look up to the flashlight of a police
office. He pulled me out of the car and after lecturing me on the
importance of obeying my mom he sent me home. I am now happily engaged
and plan on going to the mission field in a few years, but to this day
I can still hear the tap-tap-tap on the glass.
