I recall a story in which the main character, a male, took a date out to bowling, and ended up getting destroyed because the girl was actually the state champion or something like that.
It may have been a do-over story, where the second time through he didn't do the bowling date.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'm not completely sure because it's been a long time since I read it, but I think it's *Bowling for Hearts* by: Rare Dream

In rlfj's A Fresh Start in chapter 14 there are two students asking out the same girl. The hero wins because she loves bowling(she's wearing an Oyster Bay Rollers jacket)

A Fresh Start
While 'Bowling for Hearts' is a great story, even if it is and probably always will be unfinished, I am sure the one you want is 'A Fresh Start'. Carl finises the other contender by suggesting going bowling (having noticed the jacket) and they have a great time. When he takes her home he discovers that she was a champion at her former home town.
I'm curious as to why you say 'Bowling for Hearts' is unfinished. While it leaves plenty of room for a sequel it does appear to be complete.
