"online dating. This is why we meet in Starbucks, right?!"
I guess I'm going to start going to Starbucks to pick up a rebound.0 -
You handled that like such a champ I would have come and sat with you to chat (and escorted you to your car because I totally get being freaked out that he might be waiting).
Thanks. A couple of people offerred to walk me to my car but I didn't want to risk the drama so I just hung out for a while. I was so happy we hadn't exchanged number though!0 -
How was the second date?
Exactly what I was thinking, Kit?! It was clear there had to be a second date, haha...
She must have been REALLY hot or you really had gone a long time without ! :laugh:
Both!. . LOL. .
So, how long did you last? :bigsmile:0 -
Here's my worst one so far: After my divorce, I was tring to meet some new people and get back into dating so I signed up on POF. I read this guy's p[rofile and he sounded ok plus he was cute so I sent him a message. He sent a reply suggesting we meet right away. I should have been concerned but I hadn't dated in years so I said fine. At least I was smart enough to insist we meet at a Starbucks. When he showed up, he took one look at me and said "Yeah, you're good. There's a hotel close by, let's go" I then told him there was no way I was going to a hotel with him. At that point he started screaming at me in the middle of Starbucks about how all women play games, I led him on, etc. The manager had to come out and forcibly escort him out of the building. Of course, everyone in the place was staring at me so I just held up my hands and said "online dating. This is why we meet in Starbucks, right?!" Several people laughed. I got a tea and sat down for a bit just in case he might be waiting in the parking lot. It was pretty scary.
Wow! That's awful. Where do guys get off thinking that all women are like this?? I guess some women are?? So, now we know that if you meet straight away that means you only want one thing?? Is that online dating speak, do you think??
I only met one guy straight away, and he was so freaky looking, and boring, I vowed never again to meet anyone that I haven't had phone conversations with. I think you can just gauge someone's overall persona after a few conversations?? Not saying that it's fool proof, just you stand more of a chance not wasting your time.
Saying that, I have also met freaks that were perfectly fine on the phone!! :laugh:
Hmmm! :huh:0 -

Yikes! That *IS* awful!!
I hope meeting right away isn't some sort of online dating code for ONS, because I wanted to meet most guys within a week or so of contacting me. No sense wasting time developing an electronic relationship only to discover on the phone or in person that we're not compatible.0 -

That's insane! I think if you do online dating you need to pay (i.e. avoid POF). . even a few bucks a month keeps the rif-raf out. . lol.
actually I have met some creepy dudes on sites I have paid for - so not necessarily true. I wish it were though.0 -

Oh boy I have 2 doosy's but not sure how much you guys want me to babble on ... I'll see if I can summarize.
Nutcase # 1) Guy messaged me and we chatted online a bit. Kept asking me if I wanted to meet for a drink, usually during the week which is typically something I don't do Anyhow, asks me to go to a concert with him that he had tickets for (on a Wed night) so I agreed, kinda felt bad, he was being nice asking me to a concert. We met for dinner first. He was there before me, already had a couple drinks. Nervous? Maybe. I'm not a big drinker to begin with, socially yes but getting trashed frequently, no. So he asked me if I wanted a drink, I said no. Besides, I don't like to drink before/during a concert so I don't have to keep running to the bathroom. LONG story short... We decided to drive to the concert (about 20 minutes away) in one car. He drove, I left mine at the restaurant. I knew I was in trouble when we were walking into the venue and he asked me "so what do you want to drink?" I annoyingly said nothing and then .... he handed me his keys & said good, you're driving home then!" :noway: :drinker: (Yup, you can't make this *kitten* up!). So. yes he got trashed, I drove back to my car, bolted, logged online and blocked him instantly. Worst date ever!!!!
Nutcase # 2) Cute guy, we had a lot in common He kept asking me to come over to hang out. I will never do that on a first meeting, I just won't. So after much persistence, he agreed to meet in public (like I'm asking for sooooooooo much). We went to a park and walked and talked, laughed. I thought he was pretty attractive. We were just BSing then he tells me, have you ever heard of "something I can't remember the name of" LOL. I say um, I'm not sure, should I know what it is? He then tells me he was involved in this "thing" growing up and is very ill. His intestinal system and internal organs are all messed up and he frequently has to go for surgery to repair problems. I'm like, wow, that's sad, yadda yadda and asked questions, genuinely out of concern. So then he's like, that's why I kept insisting you come over, cause I can't be too far from a bathroom :noway: :noway: :noway: I'm like, oh yay! What a fun bf he will be! We'll spend our Sat nights in the crapper? LOL So I just inquired more what can be done, he starts getting mad and saying they've tried everything and even his doctors are stumped. He'll have to live with this his whole life, or until it kills him! GREAT! Just who I want to get involved with, a dying man, :sad: So I am in the medical field and know a lot about the human body so I asked some legit questions, he's like "every girl I've ever gotten involved with has tried to be the hero and cure me". I'm like dude, calm the heck down, I'm not. But why the hell did you tell me this? You didn't think I'd have questions?? He's kinda like, "well I guess I should get back home, don't wanna have an accident". I said goodbye and we left. I was like wow, this guy is a wacko or disliked me so much he created a terminal illness to get away :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: LOL ....0 -
@ smileeBarb
1. He's an alchoholic
2. He's a player - he just wanted to get you back to his place!
I hope you meet a decent guy soon. They do exist!! :flowerforyou:0 -

Yep, I must say I can think of a few better strategies to bring a girl back to your place than to pretend you've got intestinal problems.0 -
I don't have any weird dating stories like that... possibly because I filter them out long before meeting them in person? I mean, yeah, I've had the freakazoids email me. I had one guy in his twenties call me a tease and get mad at me because I said I wasn't interested so he sent me a picture of his penis and said that was all I was after... but I never met him in person... lol... thank God...
Most of my dates have gone well, and I've ended up with second and third dates and even relationships, an engagement, and one marriage (separate and apart from the engagement). I've met some great guys through online dating, paid sites and free sites. Of course, I've also met some that weren't so great, but nothing horrible in comparison to what I've read here.0 -
I once intentionally WAS that dating nightmare. I was on match.com and this girl completely misrepresented herself. I'm not THAT picky, but I didn't even recognize her and that kind of made me mad. .
Anyway, I wasn't mean or anything, I just let loose like I was with an old drinking buddy. .i.e. I drank too much and turned my filter off. I even went into detail about my divorce (which is the second worst thing a guy can do on a first date). .
Anyway, We said goodnight and I went home and figured I'd sabataged myself well enough that she wouldn't be expecting a follow-up. Three days later I get an angry text from her asking why I haven't called!. .0 -

My life is boring (thankfully)!
Every single one of my on-line dating experiences has been - at worst - pleasant. The very worst was one where my date lied about her age (by more than 15 years). She was still quite nice.
I think that it might be that my profile doesn't attract the nutjobs.0 -
The strangest message I got had a subject line of "Hey, I have a question", which then opened up to "Do you consider yourself to be more of a dominant or a submissive? Because I am a dominant looking for a submissive -- I would like to know if we are compatible." This was actually before Fifty Shades became popular.
I had another guy set up a date with me and then two days before we met, asked if I was talking to anyone else. I told him I was and he got completely silent for what seemed like a minute, then told me that he was very disappointed in me. He said that he was only looking for a serious, long term relationship and wondered out loud how long he was supposed to let me continue to act in such a way before he put a stop to it. I, obviously, was more than a little offended and informed him that he had no authority whatsoever to let me do anything and after having thought about it, we obviously were not compatible. I vaguely heard him yelling at me right before I hung up on him. :noway:0 -

I met a guy through my ONE time trying eharmony. We talked and chatted for weeks, then months. He was a single dad of four kids, very funny, very nice. But...
Every time we would set up a date he ended up canceling. One day he called and he said...did I ever mention that I had cancer? I said, no. He explained to me that he had cancer many years before and the treatment had damaged his heart. Ok...He proceeded to tell me that he had previously had a heart transplant. Ok, that doesn't change my mind for going on a date...
But... the story continued...after having his new heart for a few years, his body rejected it. He was calling me from University of Pennsylvania hospital. He had no heart in his chest at all, he was hooked up to a 200lb heart machine. He lived in the hosptial like that for a little over a year waiting on another heart.
Now, no one in my family believed me. They said he had to be making it up. Well, the Philly CBS station actually did a story on him and the many others that lived in that hospital waiting on transplants. I watched it and saved it to my DVR to show family.
It took 2 years from when we first started talking until we had our date. He is a great guy, we still remain friends.0
