    I went on a date with a guy and he brought me to his house and then played video games for a few hours and ignored me - I hate video games.

    My worst date was the first real date I was ever on. We met online and met in person at Starbucks. He seemed fine at first, nothing too strange. Then he got hungry and wanted to go eat and I agreed, we had been talking for awhile at this point. So I get into his car and he starts driving and I feared for my life because his driving was horrible. So bad, I'm surprised he didn't get into any accidents. And while he was driving he was talking about how he was looking for the one, he wanted to buy a house and settle down. Soon. I was 19 at the time he was 24, that was not at all what I wanted. That's still not what I want at this point. I was ready to jump ship then.

    So then he takes us to Taco Bell because that's what he wanted. It would've been fine really, except for the fact that I don't really like Taco Bell. I have this hatred of tacos most of the time, I'm just not a fan. I got a drink because he insisted I get something even though I didn't want to. Then we sat in the Taco Bell parking lot talking some more. He wouldn't stop staring at me and he kept telling me how pretty I was and it was compliment after compliment. At this point in my life I was so self conscious. It was so weird, especially since I didn't really have anything to compliment him for. It was a bit too much. Eventually he took me back to my car and I told him I had a good time (such a lie) and went home.

    The next day he texted me and got angry because I didn't tell him via text I had a good time. Er, I thought I said it in person which to me means more than text. So then he called me immature and other things because of this. I'm glad he did, now I didn't have to let him down.

    Then there was the time I went out with a guy which was actually a pretty good date, I just saw him more like my little brother than romantic interest. His inspection sticker had expired on his car so we had to avoid cops the whole time. We almost ran into a couple. Then the next date I had with another guy I joked about how the last date I was on the guy didn't have his car inspected and we had to hide from the cops the whole time. His response? "Oh, mine's been expired for like a month." Oh. Can you say awkward moment?

    I just remembered one more. It wasn't horrible like some of yours, admittedly. Just odd. I went on a Match.com date with a nice enough guy. We went mini-golfing and things were going nicely. It was early when they closed the mini-golf course, so I asked if he wanted to grab a bite or a coffee. He said he wasn't hungry and didn't drink coffee, but of course we could go somewhere. We went to a Starbucks, I got a plain coffee and bought him a bottle of water. I offered to get him whatever he wanted (he'd paid for all the mini-golf and arcade stuff) and he just said he wanted water. Fine.

    We sit down, and begin talking. The conversation turned to food. I tell him I love sushi. He says he doesn't eat sushi. I playfully tell him he doesn't know what he's missing, and he says "No, I just don't eat anything from the ocean." Ah-ha, ok. So I ask him what he likes to eat. It came down to the following things: Well-done steak, no sauce; fried chicken, and he really only ate the skin; "tacos" made with those crunchy Ortega taco shells, ground beef, and 1000 Island sauce, plain pizza and he threw out the crust, and Totino's pizza rolls. THAT'S IT. Nothing green, nothing from the ocean, no ethnic cuisine, no drinks other than water, no fruits or vegetables, pasta was "too bready", etc. I kept looking around for a hidden camera because I thought I might be getting punk'd. He just told me he was a picky eater growing up, and that's all he wanted to eat. He was in his mid-30s and said he never got fat, so it couldn't be that bad for him.

    I pictured my future with him, pushing a shopping cart sadly past the produce section, past the fish department, past the spits of delicious roasting chickens... filling my cart with box after box of pizza rolls while a single tear slides down my cheek. Couldn't do it. He was sweet, very kind, cute, friendly, and a total gentleman. But we'd never be compatible. I hope he found the girl of his pizza roll dreams.

    Lol these are hilarioussss, I have tears in my eyes from the laughter

    Haven't been on many dates and those I've had were mediocre

    Worst one was a blind date, we texted and talked on the phone for a while, he had a super sexy voice, he sent me a picture of his face, I could tell he was a little chubby and he had amazing eyes, it was back in high school and I went to get us Chinese food and thought we could share it while we hung out at my cousings house, it was kind of a blind date so I was so nervous and wanted to look cute, got to my cousings house which wasn't there, walk in and see this 400 pound guy sitting on the couch.... I didn't wanna be rude lol but I was like who are you? He was like I'm your date lol I tried to act normal and said oka I brought Chinese we can eat sat it down and he DEVOURED it like I didn't even get a chance to eat anything. It was so horrible then he was like oh are u hungry? What the heckkkkk? Such a turn off and he had holes in his clothing which leaked out back fat, stomach fat and all sorts of other fat.

    Personality will only get you so far.

    Therefore I had my bff call me and tell me my mom was sick and to come home soon, I deleted him from MySpace (so long ago lol) and AIM, told him I was engaged and shouldn't have seen him and that we were moving to Alaska.... he believed all that lol

    2 months ago, about 6 years after this incident happened he found me on fb and asked how the marriage was going and how I was liking Alaska and heard from my cousin I had a baby on the way and that he was happy for us rofl, I didn't reply.

    Lies. All lies. (=

    I went out with myself once. Conversation was almost non-existent and I didn't even put out afterwards.

    I was mortified.

    Maybe we talked to the same person! I went out with a guy just like that and I was like.. Oh no.. I LOVE Pho and sometimes Indian. I love pasta and sushi.. and seafood.. Hah! Just because you aren't fat doesn't mean that you are healthy

    Well, the stories I have aren't so much bad date stories, as dating disasters. The worst part is that they happened with the same woman, who fortunately later became my wife.

    The first one was on our very first date. We were coming home from a club in one of the absolute worst parts of DC. We pulled up to a stoplight, and my car stalls and would not start again. To make matters worse, the rain was coming down in buckets. Yeah that was a fun half hour wait for the tow truck. I really could have died from embarrassment at that.

    The next one was on our fourth date. I was taking her home after a lovely evening out, when I get pulled over. Now when I say I pulled over, I am not talking about one police car. Instead, try eight. Four in front and four behind. My wife looks over at me and asks "What did you do?" To make matters worse, I am a smart *kitten* with a MAJOR problem with authority. All of which my wife by this point in our relationship had picked up on. So she spent the next ten minutes repeating "Shut up, Dave" like a mantra. Finally, it turns out my car matched the description of a car that was used in the robbery of a gas station, and after the police determined that we were not the suspects they let us go.

    The last story has to do with our first Valentines day together. I had received a recommendation from a friend about this awesome Italian restaurant in Alexandria, so I took my wife there. Unfortunately, the restaurant was not so awesome. It was one of those places that the pasta sauce very obviously came from a can, yeah. Although I did manage to salvage the evening, by taking her to the National Cathedral afterwards. The choir was practicing, and we sat in the prayer garden just being swept away by the majesty.

    Have I mentioned that I am petitioning to have my wife beatified? She certainly deserves it...

    First time I ever went on a date.

    I was 20. I had never had a boyfriend or even kissed a guy before. My friend set me up with this guy, I was afraid to meet him so she offered to drive me down to meet him. I am very shy and quiet but we got along just fine. We saw Clerks 2. It was funny and I was happy. We then walked around Rasputin, which is a music store and had Thai food. (omg sounding like a good date right?). We then ended up walking along the shore of a pond, holding hands as the moon reflected off of the Pond, we were also playing in the park on the swings which was around 2am. Me wearing a corset and stripey socks complete with black make up and him dressed like a goth pimp we surely got looks. We then did EVP work in a graveyard. He kept trying to kiss me but I was afraid because I hadn't before. He then guessed I didn't like him though I insisted I did...

    We got back in the car with my friend who was resting and we all started to talk. She started prodding me a to why I hadn't kissed him. She told me he was her ex and a great kisser. She then kept poking at him giving him a boner. "See Lulu! He has a nice ****! Get some of that!" I looked away and she started playing with him. At that point I wanted to run off and I was fighting back tears. She said if I didn't want him she'd take him. I didn't say anything after that, she would have ****ed him if I wasn't there. Which thankfully she hadn't because I don't know if I could have handled it.

    3 worst dates. All with my husband. I was 14 when we met., he was a year older.

    We'd been dating about a year, went snowboarding together. I was going off a jump, the guy behind me came up too fast, hit his head on the tail of my board and sent me into a tree. Broke my femur in 4 places and cracked my pelvis, internal bleeding in stomach and kidneys. Got 188 more dates out of it, he visited me every day in hospital and rehab, slept in the visitor's chair some nights. We got to know each other really well.

    About a year after that, we were at a house party. Got drunk for the first time ever. Danced in my underthings on a patio table in the rain. Slipped and landed on my *kitten*. He fell off the back deck rail cause he was laughing so hard. Ambulance got called, police showed up, the manly got stitches in his head and about 40 teens spent the night in lockup until our parents came to get us.

    When i was 17, we were going camping a few cities away. His dad drove as he didn't want us driving that far with only our learner's permits. I sat in the backseat, behind his dad. We drove thru mcdonalds for lunch, and i decided to try the fish burger. I hat a bite or 2, felt suddenly very sick, and before we could pull over i had projectile vomited all over the back of the driver's seat and the back of my (now) father-in-law's head. Found out i was pregnant the next day. 8 years later he still calls me barfy.

    We've been through a lot together. He think's he's the lucky one.

    Oh god....

    I reconnected with an old classmate. He had graduated a few years before me, so I didn't know him that well. A friend of a friend, if you will. When he asked me out to dinner, I figured, what the hell, he seems nice.

    Here's how the date went:

    1. shows up nearly an hour late to pick me up, I had figured he wasn't going to show. At this point I had changed back into my lounge clothes.

    2. Takes me to In-n-out for dinner.....I was wearing a cocktail dress. I'm not high maintenance or anything, but I felt really out of place.

    3. Stops by his friend's house on the way back because they were having a party and wanted to meet me. Introduces me as his "girlfriend". Proceed to watch 3 dudes smoke pot and talk about warcraft for an hour before I demand to be taken home. *** As it turns out, he had asked me out on a dare, and wanted to prove that I really accepted. I was used as some sort of creepy girl-trophy.

    4. Calls me every day for an entire year and even shows up at my house pounding on the door. I never picked up and ended up having to change my phone number. I moved as well, for good measure.

    This one may be tied for first.....


    Guy takes me to the movies, and holds my hand. I think "awe, that's kinda sweet"....until he keeps inching closer to his crotch. I pull my hand away, and think "maybe an accident?" Then, he tries to be smooth and do the "I'm going to stretch reeaaallly big, and then subtly put my arm around you"


    He fails, and elbows me in the eye so hard, it breaks my nose. I was gushing blood all over the popcorn, and had a gnarly black eye for weeks.

    Must have been about 17. A friend of mine had met a guy at a pub, but wasn't keen on going on a date with him on her own. So I agree to go out with the two of them and his friend Paul.

    Turns out her charming date has a pregnant ex who he is currently being charged for throwing a brick through her window and assaulting....

    Paul is completing obnoxious and unattractive but there's no way in hell I am leaving my friend with the other guy, who for some bizarre reason she still seems interested in.

    Between the bar and a nightclub Paul tries to kiss me, despite the fact I've clearly told him I am not interested. I pull away so he bites me!

    Since I still don't dare leave her alone we go to the club. Paul still hasn't given up and attempts to make a move on me again. I pour my drink over his head. We get thrown out of the club, I am actually relieved as it let's me rescue my friend and get home.

    Mine was hiarious in retrospect. But had consequences.

    I should probably share how I met this guy. Many moons ago, I did one of those electronics store rep jobs. You know the person who demos printers or cameras or whatever. Full disclosure: I am a chatty person and make small talk easily. So it was a really slow day, and this guy came up and started asking questions about the product. I gave the demo. Chatted for a bit and then went on my merry way. Well later that evening this guy brough his boys to the store to show them the cool product (and me I presume). So he basically asked me out a few different ways: to a performance because he was a "rapper," to a club so I could hang out with him and his friends, and then to coffee.

    Well we all know coffee is noncommittal. So I said, OK we can have coffee. So a few days later I met him for coffee. And let's just say it started off horrible. First he didn't buy my coffee. Um Hello! Coffee is $2-3 (I get plain small drinks). The we sat down. It was a packed day at the cafe. He had a backpack with him.

    Problem number 2. He opened up his backpack to show me his CV and product info from the place he worked because a. I should be impressed because he has a "professional" job and b. because I am "techy" I should care about random industrial technology.

    So obviously this date isn't going very well. And this leads to problem #3.

    So he pulls out a sealed paper bag full of random stuff from the backpack. And asks, "so how much do you think people would pay for a grab bag like this?" So I humor him and say $3. Then he starts asking all of the nearby tables if they want to buy it. I was so embarrassed. Someone bought it. I think to end the harassment. And this guy was so proud of himself. He said..."I just sold this bag for $4 and the stuff inside only cost $.50. Look at all the profit!!!!" And then went on this long explanation on how he does this to make extra cash.

    I quickly finish up my coffee and say "oh i have to go to work early tomorrow." Anyway this guy thought we had the best date ever, because he tries to get me to get into his car for some "private time." and then tries to schedule a second date, and schedule a time for me to meet his kids (?!?!?!?!?). I say I am busy, get in my car and head home, thinking this had to be the dumbest date ever.

    And then the next day, this guy shows up at my work, around 30 minutes before I get there just to "see how I am doing" and ask me out again. *rolls eyes*

    Oddly, that same day, my car had a really random dent on the hood......I have no idea how it happened......

    There is a beautiful young lady on these forums by the name of Odusgolp.

    This is her story:
    So, my inordinately tall date and I go out for lunch. We meet and it's a tish awkward and first, but always is on a blind date. No biggy.

    He immediately says something in regards to how he eats really healthy which launches into something about meat and slaughter houses and how he doesn't believe in killing animals. I... like my dead animals. I love a good steak. But alas, to each their own. I just find it an odd first topic as we look to order. He orders chicken and states he's not up for a greasy burger.... Ok.

    From there, however, things got much smoother. Conversation flowing, good laughs, etc. Really, perfectly lovely date.

    Then the check comes. He immediately grabs it, and I pull my wallet out of my purse. He shows me the bill ($21.89) and I throw in a $20. Awkwardly, he follows suit. The waitress takes it. He comments "I hope she doesn't think that's a $19 tip!" Then, when she does come back, he keeps the change after leaving $3 on the table.

    Analyze....

    These are terribly great! haha

    My worst date, was my first date. I went on a blind date with this guy, who told me to met him at a coffee shop, then later messages me to met him in the local 'Cheap as Chips' shop. After looking around the shop for ages, I find him and introduce myself, and he bear hugs me! That was a bit unusual. So was the way he smelled (little bit of a B.O problem)...And he was wearing a kids style comic book shirt.
    We then head over for a coffee, he did pay for mine, and he bought himself about 6 huge bags of skittles, and promptly starts devouring them. Then, out the shopping bag he was carrying he pulls out these little toy soldier figurines and starts playing with them at the table! I was like whaaaat?
    Then before I even finish my coffee he says we need to get up and go for a walk because he's got a ****y leg that goes numb, and to prove his point he starts beating his leg up against a pillar in the coffee shop. People stared. I was so embarrassed.
    So out we go for a walk along one of the busy main roads, and he grabs my hand and pulls me to a stop and tells me 'I'm the most awesome person he's ever met, and can't wait to spend more time with me'. Okay, I was a bit startled. Then he smothers me in a another bear hug, and I'm trying to pull away and he's just holding on tighter and people are driving past yelling out 'Get a room!'
    I couldn't come up with an excuse fast enough to get away. I felt a little bad because he traveled an hour to meet me, but that date was all too weird to continue on with.

    A girl I know (and I know for a fact she didn't make this up) went out with a guy she met in college. It was their first date. They lived in Utah and he flew with her in a small private plane to Vegas. They go see Phantom of the Opera and then go to a super pricey restaurant. She asks him, "Uhhh, how can you afford this?" He gives her a really wishy-washy answer about how he has "several jobs" (keep in mind this guy is in his 20s and still in college). So after dinner, he takes her to Tiffany & Co. and tells her to pick out whatever she wants. She declined and they flew home. On the plane ride home, she mentions to him that she loves to fish. The next morning, he calls her and says, "I have a surprise for you!". He drives her to a lake that he BOUGHT for her. Oh and he named it after her. So, of course, she is like, "Something is not right with this guy." So she doesn't go on another date with him. A couple months later, she finds out he was arrested for drug dealing... apparently business was good. haha

    When I was in my 20's a guy picked me up to go to the movies. I didn't realize he had been drinking, we get into the theatre and he pulls out a flask and is sitting there drinking, totally ignoring me. Next thing I know he wants to leave saying the movie is boring. We were supposed to go have dinner then. I think we are on our way to dinner but he goes back to his apartment complex and says "would you mind if we called it a night? I actually have another date on her way and I ran out of money today so I can't take you to dinner.". And that was the last time I dated a dude who worked in mall retail! Lmao
  • My worse date experience would be when this guy took me to play basketball and the place we were going to play at...was first of all closed. Then he spent the next couple of minutes talking about how much he loves football and older women. And then he gave me some sort of..."demonstration" and got my hand and licked it. :T that was the last time I saw him.

    for a first date once, i went to her apt. to pick her up...walked inside, and noticed her dog laying by the window on the other side of the apt. i thought it was a tad bit strange the he didnt meet me at the door let alone bark at me. i asked if there was something wrong with the dog, and she said, "no he died a few days ago, and i just havent had the time to bury him". i was like WTF!

    They don't have the right emoticon in the smileys list to describe this level of "fail". just wow.
