So all of us have had those dates that couldn’t have gone better, while we’ve probably had our fair share of dates that we pray we can get through. Or what about those "compliments" that you grin and bear? Here are some stories to bring some laughter into your day.

· What was your favorite date?

“It was super easy-going. We wrote messages in a bottle and threw them in a lake. Went four wheeling, carved our names on trees, decorated a gingerbread house and got in a frosting fight.” –Female, Special Education major, WA

“We got a list of insane things to do at the mall and we vid

eotaped it. Then we went and played Cranium and had ice cream.” –Male, Informatics major, CO

“We went to a play and then Marie Calendars’ to share a sundae and talk. While taking me home he asked if he could surprise me and took me on t

op of a mountain to see the city lights (which happens to be my favorite thing ever!). We talked a lot and then he taught me to drive.” –Female, Child Development major, CA

· What was your worst date?

“She asked me out. I paid for the date: food, movie, gas.” –Male, Ag. Business major, ID

“My date invited me to go get ice cream after my concert. We went but he went through the drive through. I asked what we were doing and he said it was a surprise. He brought me to the middle of nowhere and had me get out of the car when it was freezing because he wanted to “dance with me under the stars” to sappy romantic love songs. I was appalled. This was our first date and I barely knew him. A few days later I found out that he had done the same exact date with other girls. Creepo.” –Female, Elementary Education major, WA

“So my roommate set me up on a date with a girl I had never met. We were suppose to go on a double date but my roommate ditched out at the last minute. I don’t have a car and we were going to go to the corn maze but couldn’t. As my roommate left he told us we should take a “romantic walk in the gardens”. We ended up watching a movie, getting ice cream, and playing Mario Cart. I walked her home at ten. I found out later it was her first date ever.” –Male, Biology major, WA
