singleohioguy: First I would like to say GO BUCKS!!!!
Now to answer your question to the best of my ability. I can honestly say I have never been on a bad date. I always try to become friends with who ever I am talking to and build on that with no expectations other than going out for dinner or a drink. I believe the only time you have a bad date is when you go out expecting to be more than friends and things don't go as planned.
Just my two cents worth.
Now wish I had said that. I totally agree with this post.

great answer.
