had the most anger-inducing date (to date)

You know when you say yes to a subsequent date because they were just SO nice you feel bad about saying no? Well. I should have said, "Haha no, thanks for playing!

To recap, we're wearing still-damp wetsuits, cramped in a fairly small minivan, being shuttled for a 30 minute drive out to the cave. But these were not regular wet wetsuits, oh no. These were wetsuit overalls, with a wetsuit jacket
