If He Left Before Dessert, He's Been Punished Enough

Story Submitted by Shelly:

Brad and I ended up sitting next to each other at a kids' soccer game wherein both of our younger siblings happened to be playing.

We had a good conversation for over an hour, and he asked me what I was doing after the game.  I wasn't up to anything that I couldn't get out of, and he asked me on a date, then and there.  He even offered to drive.

"I know a great place," he said.

After the game, I climbed into his car, and we were off.  I figured that we'd be going someplace nearby, in town.  He drove into the countryside, and I asked him where we were going.

He pulled over to the side of the road near a cornfield and jumped out of the car.

"I want to show you something," he said.

I followed him out, and he ran back to the car and drove away, leaving me there, at the side of the road.

He forgot that I had my cell phone on me, and I called my parents to come pick me up.

I got in touch with a friend of his through a friend of mine, and I found out that he was angry at an ex-girlfriend and that he wanted to take it out on someone, so he chose me.

I told everyone I could about it, and the next time I saw him, at a big community dinner, a bunch of my friends went after him to get him to apologize, but he took off.
