Bad Date: Traci Hall, Author of Love’s Magic

Always on the search for a great read, I have another author who sent us a guest post! Check out Traci Hall's bad date story below. Enjoy!

In the search for love, I made a lot of detours. And so far as bad date stories go, this one is a doozie. See – there was this guy that I thought was the absolute coolest of the cool. So when he called and asked me out, I said YES. Never mind the fact that I was definitely not cool. Or that he was a few year older than me, in a band, and he hung out with all the people in the ‘scene’.

He didn’t have a car, so when he came to pick me up in a cab, I thought it was very, very grown up.

We went to dinner at a restaurant instead of a fast food place. Normally our crowd was a 99 cent menu crew. Instead of picking up on any of these RED ALERTS, I ordered dessert, floating on cloud 9.

We made arrangements to meet the next day to go shopping for matching new leather jackets. True studded love, lol.

I was so painfully naïve that I actually had my feelings hurt when he ditched me the next day. This was before the advent of cell phones – and he couldn’t call from where he was--Jail :)

Turns out my Knight In a Shining Checker Cab had been using stolen checks to treat me to a night on the town…

It was a painful lesson that still makes me cringe – agh!
