The worst date you had ever been on

[diznygirl]

Reading these stories makes me feel better about my own worst first date! When I was 18 I made plans to meet up with a girl I had met online. She was lying about her age and was just barely out of middle school (she was 13 but told me she was 16). Fortunately we met at the local carnival and some of her friends were there, so I found an excuse to ditch her with her friends and go do my own thing.

I know - nothing better than reading about a disaster date someone else had to get you thanking your lucky stars!

My worst was being asked out, agreeing on a movie, then being told he didn't have any money for said movie so I agreed to pay. After the movie we went back to his house - his parents' place. He showed me his sweet stereo set-up and the remote that controlled it so he wouldn't have to get up from his bed - two feet away. I refused all other date requests, and he started asking me to set him up with my friends! LOL

Sophomore year of high school, he was a senior at another school. He picked me up and we went back to his house to have dinner with his entire family. (aunts, uncles..you name it, they were there). We then left and proceeded to go pick up two of his track team mates and they then went to the local beverage store where they used a fake id to buy a case of beer (i really didn't drink beer then). We then spent the rest of the night driving back and forth between the roller skating rink and a bowling alley, never actually entering either establishment. Even when one of them had to go to the bathroom. Which he did...behind the car.

I actually went home and told my mom to tell me that I could not date him, so that when I tol dhim the same thing I wouldn't be lying to him.

I don't think it was actually a date. I was "seeing" this guy I had met. He seemed normal. Turns out he had mass anger issues. We were at his place watching a movie, he then tells me that rape is an acceptable form of sex because at least he was getting some. Yeah what ever we were was very quickly over.

My worst date was my junior prom, and it wasn't my date's fault. A week before prom a close friend was invited by a boy she barely knew. She agreed to go and asked if we could all go together. I said sure. She then went out and bought the exact same dress I was wearing except in a different color. She got in a fight with the boy after about 45 minutes and ended up being the third wheel with me and my date throughout the rest of the evening.

Hmm... not the worst but definitely awkward. I was set up by a friend (yeah, I know...) and we agreed to meet for dinner. We meet and I'm not really attracted to him, but I thought maybe the conversation will be fine, as we did have similar interests. Things started to get weird when he didn't order *anything* to eat or drink. Then he starts talking about his dolls. Apparently he collected these Japanese dolls that he named, made clothes for and posed around his room for photo shoots... and yes, Of course I asked to see the photos. When the bill came he offered to pay, but I told him he hadn't ordered a thing and that I'd prefer to pay for myself. I could tell that he was definitely more interested in me than I was in him, but he wasn't getting the hints I was dropping about calling it a night. I ended up making some excuse about being needed somewhere and we parted ways. Afterwards I ended up walking around a bookstore telling my best friend about what had just happened and guess who I ran into...

YUP.


:-/

I think we have a winner, the creepy doll guy did it for me.

My one and only blind date. My friend (she was 28 I was 21) thought I'd be a great match for her husband's best friend. Because of our age difference I expected the guy was going to be about 10 years older than me no more since her husband was a few years older than she was. So we all agreed to go out to dinner but I told her I was paying my own way because it felt too weird to expect a guy I never met topay for me. The guy was 49 (my FATHER was only 45 at that time) and was never married - for really obvious reasons. First off he was absolutely filthy. Dirty work boots, greasy hair, dirty hands, his clothes were a mess, he had not shaved OR SHOWERED recently. He was gross and smelly. He honestly looked homeless. I was horrified to the point where I had to struggle to get through the dinner because I was wondering WTH was going on and why my friend thought we needed to be together. He was trying to grope me under the table and wanted me to pay for him because he was unemployed. By the end I was just so pissed off that I was put in this position by my friend. EVERYTHING was wrong. When dinner was over I paid for MY DINNER etc only and got up and left and that was the end of that friendship and that one and only blind date. She tried calling me to ask me what I thought and why I left looking so mad and told me they had to pay for his meal blah blah blah. I laid it out and told her I was done. That whole situation was a joke and I have no idea why she roped me into going out with a guy that no 21 year old should be going out with. Thankfully I met my DH shortly after.

I won't go into detail because nobody would believe me, but my first date a few years after being widowed was almost my last date. It ended up with me dumping a glass of ice tea into the guy's lap. It was that bad. I was ready to join a convent or something. Luckily, I waded back into dating and met someone great.

I must have been 16 or 17, and I went out with the son of my mom's good friend. We went to dinner and movie, which was fine, except he petted my arm the whole movie. We were driving around after the movie, and he was apparently driving a little too fast. A police officer started to pull him over, and he took off. The officer chased us down this little 2 lane road for a couple of miles before he finally stopped. Scared me half to death. Needless to say, our mothers' dream of becoming co-mother-in-laws didn't work out.

No bad dates for me, eitherr. I married the only person I ever dated.

In college I took a young lady to Six Flags Great Adventure. She didn't want to ride ANY of the rides. All she wanted to do was sit in the beer garden and drink. If we were at a bar I wouldn't have minded, but it was kind of a heavy cover charge to pay to drink at an amusement park. I think she generously contributed $5 toward the "date."

And she threw up in my car on the way home.

Probably the (first) date I had with a guy and he had no car, so we had to use mine. Actually my mom's car (registered to her). He decided to park somewhere where I told him he couldn't. And he said "It'll be fine. And, if not, I'll pay for the ticket."

You guessed it - got a ticket, and, correct again, he didn't pay for it. Then my mom gets a "you didn't pay your fine" letter in the mail.

By then I wasn't seeing the guy anymore. But, as he was in the military, I just contacted his CO and told him what had happened, and voila! the ticket is paid for!

My first date was when I was I think 13. It was a boy who lived in the neighbourhood. He was a little older and had a scooter. He said that he was going to take me for a picnic. He picked me up and took me for a drive. After a while we were in the country and he stopped at the side of the road that was deserted for our picnic. He did have a sandwich for us but then he made some moves on me. I didn't understand at the time but something inside me said danger. I started talking about my older brothers who were known around the neighbourhood as tough guys. I kept talking about how they beat up anyone who ever hurt their little sisters and they always found out about it if someone did hurt us. I guess he got the message because all of a sudden the "picnic" was over and he took me the short way home. Never saw him again. Years later I understood how it could have ended for me. Thank goodness the next date was the man I married. We will be married 41 yrs. this Oct.

Yay! I love bad date stories. I had several hilariously bad ones, but this was the 'worst':

We met on a dating site and exchanged a few emails. Once we agreed to meet up, he asked me to pick the restaurant as long as it was mid-range and he would pay. I asked if he ate fish and he said yes. I picked my favorite restaurant at the time, affordable on my hourly wage. We agreed to meet there.

When we met up, he must not have liked what he saw because he immediately started talking about his car being about to die and worrying about getting home. Then he starts complaining that the restaurant is 'frou-frou' and too fancy. I offered to switch to another one and he declined, opting to keep complaining. Finally, we order. He gets fish and chips 'because it was the least frou-frou thing on the menu'. Our food comes after several minutes of awkward conversation. He immediately starts complaining and looks at me with this unbelievably angry expression and spits out, "Where I come from? COLESLAW has MAYONNAISE on it!"

That was it for me. I burst out laughing and couldn't stop for a good ten minutes. To his credit, he realized he was being a jerk and settled down. I refused to let him pay for my meal and his offer of a ride home in his car that was supposedly on its last legs.

We were at a restaurant. He said he had to go to the bathroom. I said ok. He stood up and said aren't you coming? I said no...? He said please? I was really looking forward to getting a (something I'm unsure if I'm allowed to say here or not).

I stood up and walked out. We hadn't even ordered food yet!!!

OMG. LOL

I went out with a guy the summer before college. It was our second date. Nothing weird about the first date. We were going to a mountain cabin with 2 other couples to watch a football game and enjoy the snow. The cabin was 2.5 hrs from where we lived.

When we got there, the guy basically said I needed to earn my ride home, if you know what I mean. At first I thought he was joking, but he was totally serious. I grabbed my stuff and walked to the nearest gas station about a mile down the road. This was in '91 before cell phones were common. I called my dad on the pay phone and he came and got me.

I learned a valuable lesson that day. It could have ended way worse.

 

[3 MEN AND A BOAT]

I've had several. One time I was set up with a girl, we talked on the phone, agreed to go out, I picked her up, we went to dinner, watched a movie, everything seemed fine. Until I went to drop her off and she asked that I drop her at the corner so her husband wouldn't catch us.

Another time I got set up with a girl that turned out to be a close friends ex-wife. That was an awkward evening since we carpooled with the couple setting us up.

Another I often tell people about is when I was about 23, I met a girl, she was about 25. We agreed to meet and go to a concert. We decide to meet at a local Walmart and ride together since the concert was in a different city, well she never said her mom would be joining us, but on the positive side of things, her mom did buy me dinner and a beer. So maybe not the worst just different.

My worst date ever was when I was about 19. I met this guy at a place I had been freelancing. He was super cute and seemed like a decent guy. After talking and flirting quite a bit, we exchanged email addresses. That weekend I received an email from him asking if I would like to go out with he and his friends to play miniature golf. I was pretty young, hadn't dated a whole lot and just thrilled to go out on a date, even if his friends were tagging along. I remember watching his car pull up into the driveway and I saw a girl, the only other passenger in the vehicle sitting in the front seat. He introduced her to be as "Melissa", well it didn't take long before I realized that she was his GIRLFRIEND! :O At the time I remember thinking, did I misread him? Maybe he just wanted to be friends? The whole situation seemed SO odd. A year or two later, one of his friends ended up being in one of my college classes and he said his friend thought he could date both myself and his current girlfriend Yah, I don't think so.

In a public restroom? Any restroom? Ugh.

I must have led a sheltered life. I never heard of this, before or after dinner. Is this a Men's room thing I'm just learning about?
