I've been single for nearly 3yrs... My last dates have included; someone not calling me back for a month - when they did they told me they'd been clinically sectioned, & wanted to join the French Foreign Legion. A bloke who informed me his ex was blonde, so he was worried my "growler" may terrify him (we'll never know?), & a bus driver who related a highly unamusing story involving him having a dump behind an unmarked police car... What can I say? I frankly like being single. I can see the benefit.. What was the worst date you had recently?

Where are you finding these people? haha.
Just so I know to stay away :P0 -
Oh poor you, but it did make me smile...
Yes, prob best to stay single for a lot longer....:)0 -
been happily married for over four years, but prior to meeting him in 2007, i had some highly entertaining dating stories.
- the man who referred to himself in 3rd person. he would say things like "Jamie makes Keith really happy" (didnt last past date #2
- the man who said "Chaka Khan" the way people say "your mom" or "thats what she/he said." just said Chaka Khan all the time for no apparent reason.
- the man who tried to feel me up when he kissed me in the car, and then when i moved his hand 2x, he tried going down the neckline of my shirt.
- the man who picked me up for our first date with dip in his mouth, had a crazy staring problem, and one of his first lines was "so cmon, who is better looking, me or your ex boyfriend?"
- the man who only expressed emotion or feelings via text message, and had every date revolve around gambling (Horse races, Atlantic City...)
- but the best date ive ever been on was the only date we had. we seemed to have an incredible time, but he never called again- i assume because i said "its too soon" when he asked to come upstairs to my apt at the end of the date.
those are only some of the wonderfully entertaining stories ;-)
grass is always greener though. i had fun being single, but i love being married. each has its perks0 -

No, I retain my dating to the north of the UK, but starting to think expanding to Craigslist might help..0 -
I highly disagree with the craigslist thing, unless you want to catch diseases.

Gosh, I'm starting not to feel so bad. I'm not the only one who has just stopped bothering to date because they turn out so horribly.0
-
Haha, sorry you seem to be finding all the weirdo's and freaks but that did make me giggle a little.
I've been married a fair while and was in a long term relationship prior to that but I do remember one guy who had done some kind of army training, and he must have thought he was some kind of secret assasin or something. He wrote these short stories and asked me to read them and they were all REALLY violent and gross. Yeah that didn't last too long!0 -
I don't want to date for a long time either. This wasn't date I was with the person at the time but he called me pathetic when my grandad died. :frown:0

Its because us northern guys are ****ing crazy dudes.0 -
I've never had a truly good date, so I don't date. Ever.
Edit to say not ever having a good date isn't really the reason I don't date. I just prefer being single.0 -
Lol, it does sound worrying!
I've been with my husband for 10.5 years now. I never had any particularly bad dates before meeting him, although I did meet a guy in a club who told me he was 22 (I was 24) then I went on a date with him and it turned out he was 18 and still at school lol. And one of my flatmates at the time declared his undying love for me. Awkward!0 -

The first one was a no good for nothing troublemaker, too lazy to work. The second one became a drug addict, not sure if he is still alive. The third became a brothel visitor, didn't want to pay any bills and died a few years ago and.. pfff.... Well they are called ex for a reason
Married again tho for almost 5 years, but this time with someone completely different 0 -
I went for as date with a bloke that looked so good-on-paper, but when we met he was a bit blah. He wanted to hold my hand across the pub table :ohwell: , then kept talking about being a runner but he hadn't run coz of the UK weather (I am a UK runner and we barely have any days a year when it is not suitable to run if you really want to), then my cat was a traitor and sat on his lap despite me really wanting to get rid of him, then he picked his nose and made it bleed...on my beloved sofa.0

Pfft! Have you never viewed the sheer horror that is Newcastle's version of Jersey Shore?...0 -
I hate dating as well. I have met all of my ex boyfriends by getting to know them via hanging out with mutual friends and moving on to a relationship after getting to know them that way.0

I've just got bored of putting myself out there. So I don't bother now.
I've had some fantastically bizarre dates from dating websites, normally stemming from the fact that people either lie on their profiles, or omit things that you would really like them to include.
The one I have found in my experience that women lie about the most is body type. I wouldn't know about the guys, but I'm sure it's probably the same. A lot of women I've met have selected 'a few extra pounds' which seems to cover anything from 'a few extra pounds' to 'a few extra pounds at each serving' And they're artful when choosing pictures, I've been quite shocked to meet a few people.
I suppose the two that stand out for me are the girl that I really liked, we got on well for three or four dates, but it turned out she only had one foot. Now I have nothing against this per se, but she let me find out on my own. I thought that was a bit out of order. If she'd mentioned it somehow, I don't think it would have been a problem, but to just let someone discover it for themselves is a bit much. In my opinion.
The second one was a girl that I spoke to quite a bit on the phone before we met, because her photos were kind of hard to make out. She seemed really nice, described herself as 'a few extra pounds' one of the things that I did notice was that she kept telling me on the phone how guys fell in love with her all the time, and it was really annoying, I just put it down to nerves. She was determined we would meet at her flat, rather than going out somewhere, so I thought okay, I'm a big boy, I'm not scared. Well. When I arrived, turns out that she was extremely large, three times my size. It seemed to me that the reason she didn't want to go out was because it was difficult to do so. She also kept steering the conversation round to sex, and insisted on showing me her terrifying collection of apparatus, including shackles, cuffs, plugs and a double ended black *kitten* so huge that when I first saw it, I thought Samuel L Jackson was laying on the sofa.....
I don't really date now.0 -
Thanks for the laugh to start my day but I think you're looking at it wrong. You need to date much more often and eventually write a book, rake in the millions and retire comfortably. You will thank me later. :laugh:0

What was the worst date you had recently?
I went with this guy to six flags and had an awesome time...Now hes my husband
......I can see the benefits behind being single too lol0 -
There was the blind date a friend of a secretary at work. I didn't give her permission to give my number out in the first place. He finally talked me into meeting him for a cup of coffee. He said many people said he looked like John Travolta. I met him in the parking lot and he was shorter than me. I'm 5'4" and he smelled like a stale ash tray and he looked nothing like John Travolta. I bowed out before we ever went in for coffee. I now refer to him as John Ravolta.
Then there was the guy at Halloween that seemed nice enough and some friends and I agreed to go to another nightclub down the street with him and his friends. After an hour of dancing where he kept winking and pointing at me I just said I needed to go to the bathroom and grabbed my purse walked the mile to my car in my Indian costume. Great thing about costumes is I stood behind him in a line at the grocery store the next week and he never knew it was me that ditched him.
Oh then there was the guy who there really was nothing wrong with him, but I just didn't have a spark with him. I thought I'll patiently finish the date. Then in the middle of the date out of the blue he says, "I'm going to kiss you now." Before he could follow through I looked up at the heavens while taking a deep breath grabbed my purse and said, "Good night."0 -
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: those are some doozies! better luck in the future sweetie, i think if i were you i'd continue just for the lulz....don't look at it as searching for Mr. Right, look at it as free interactive entertainment with free booze! :flowerforyou: :drinker:0

Mwhahhaa! These really made me laugh! Thanks for sharing!
I'm married now so I don't date but I have had a fair share of wierdos.
There was this one guy that I'd been out with a few times and was getting a bit bored with because we weren't clicking on any level. I thought it was probably time to move on but this one night he turned to me and said "I want you to have my babies", deadly serious. Now this was on about the third date. I just laughed and he said "well, would you like to have a baby".....I mumbled something like "err no not really", made my excuses and left. I never saw him again! Harsh I know but no babies!!
Another guy was okay, things seemed to be going well until I bent over to pick something up one day and he spanked me with my hairbrush really hard whilst shouting "who's your Daddy"! Alright, we all like a bit of slap and tickle but OUCH!! and you are certainly not my 'Daddy'....oh and he wanted to watch me wee too....that was pretty much a dealbreaker....
Finally, things seemed to be going well with this guy. We went out to a restaurant, still going well. He ordered some kind of seafood dish which he proceeded to eat with his fingers (it was a saucy dish so ewwww!), cracked open the prawns, shell flying everywhere, sucked his fingers very noisily and generally made a hell of a mess while declaring 'I can't f....king do this'......It was all pretty horrific but the sucking fingers thing....urgh!!!!0 -
last summer i slept with an English guy who is 17. (i'm 22).
i was seeing a guy that was pretty sure he was gay, he wanted to give women another chance.
the worst date was with this guy who was trying to impress me with being overly posh. he literally couldn't stop talking about his possessions, his friend's cars, even one of his Chinese girl friend's multiple plastic surgery price.
god i hate him.0 -
- but the best date ive ever been on was the only date we had. we seemed to have an incredible time, but he never called again- i assume because i said "its too soon" when he asked to come upstairs to my apt at the end of the date.
I had one of those, the date lasted like 6 hours we couldn't stop laughing and talking...then he didn't call. I called him and found out he read way too far into one of the things I said about a question he asked me. We laughed it off and became best friends instead!0
