The “Interesting Date” That Still Makes Me Laugh

I'll go first, because I’ve definitely had my share of "interesting" dates, but this one takes the cake. My most "interesting" was a blind date set up by mutual friends. The guy picked me up very early on a crisp fall morning and told me to dress warmly. That alone should have tipped me off that something unusual was about to happen.

Instead of going for coffee or breakfast, he started driving us out into the woods. I figured maybe we were heading for a nice fall hike. Then he opened the back of his truck. Inside was a full set of hunting gear. Yes, this man decided that hunting would be the perfect first date.

I’m not exactly built for sitting quietly in the woods for hours, and I definitely can’t go long periods without talking. Needless to say, that date was a total dud. But hey, it gave me a great story.

Now It’s Your Turn

That’s where you come in. We want to hear about your most interesting date. Maybe it was awkward, maybe it was hilarious, maybe it was so bizarre you still can’t believe it happened. Did someone take you somewhere completely unexpected? Did a date go totally off the rails? Did something happen that made it unforgettable for all the wrong reasons? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it.

See Inside Jason Aldean's Spectacular Florida Beach House

Jason Aldean's beach house in Santa Rosa, Fla., sits right on the Gulf of Mexico.

Aldean paid $4.1 million for the new 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4,452-square-foot beach house. The spectacular property affords the singer and his family the opportunity to walk out their back door and down a bridge to their own private beach, and the exterior of the villa features a courtyard with iron gates that includes gas lanterns, a swimming pool and a fountain.

The home's interior includes a downstairs with an open floorplan and oversized windows, chiseled stone floors, a gourmet kitchen, a bedroom and study and a fireplace, with coffered ceilings throughout. The upstairs of the home includes two separate master bedrooms that both overlook the Gulf, as well as two more bedrooms that each have their own attached bathrooms.

The stunning home is also set for whatever weather might blow in from the Gulf. Built in 2005, the house features all-impact windows and doors, as well as Geo-Thermal heating and cooling, cellulose insulation, foam ceiling and floor insulation and more.
