Wow I can't believe someone was that rude, I don't know how some people can do that.

Picture it...Get Picked up by a guy, you get in his huge Truck (good first sign right, NOT!) you casually talk and as you merge onto the freeway you notice him making a truck noise, like lilttle boys do when playing with their diecast tonkas, I sit there and try to persuade myself that he didnt just do -when all of a sudden-he does it again as he shifts, I ask, "are you nervous or something?' his response, "oh no, i do that whenever im driving, guess i do it so much i didnt even register that i did that outloud." I literally had a gut feeling that this date wasnt going to get any better and I'd rather be let off on the interstate and hitchhike back to my home. We pull up to dinner, the only thing nice about this story is the Mitchells Steakhouse that we dinned at, go in and thru the entire conversation he makes multiople points about how great HE is...direct quotes from dinner,

"Im succesful, established, and have good fashion sense, so I'm sure you're asking yourself, Why is this guy single?"

"These boots were $600, they are my everyday boots. You dont want to know what my fancy ones cost."

"Im a platinum guest here, the manager should be making his way to our table to check on us any minute now."

Needless to say, I had multiple "I dont know what to say to this" moments and had to divert to the setting in the restaraunt.

He asked to come up and watch the last half of the OSU football game in my apartment and I immediately said I was going to bed and had to be up early for work. Never returned a single call or text afterwords bc to someone that arrogant theyd never be able to understand why you dont want to be around them.

I finally agreed to go on a date with a single dad I met at my daughter's daycare. We had hung out with the girls plenty of times and I liked him enough to be my friend. On the first date we got drunk off of wine and talked about the kids the entire time so it wasn't really a date it was more of a grown up night out. The 2nd date we agreed not to talk about kids...which left us with nothing to talk about. He picked me up at 8pm we bar hopped to 3 different places because we were pretty out of place and we didn't have simular humor to make it fun for just us. Then I had him stop at Walmart to pick up something on my way home and I was home at 10:30. We didn't go out on any dates again after that.

Sigh. I had a guy apologize to me about what he did to his English teacher in high school. I guess he felt he needed to live vicariously through me to get over the guilt as that's what I do for a living. Needless to say, it didn't go to well after that.

I went on a first(and last) date with a guy I met online. He was a mechanic, and I was very excited to meet him ( I love manly men lol). Anyway, As soon as we met, I realised that this is one of the most feminine men I've ever met ugh! So, we had a couple of drinks and he proceeded to stand in the middle of the bar and lift up his shirt to show me some scarrs, and thats when I realise he wears his undies right up high showing the brand--One of my pet peeves. Then we had dinner (chinese- my favourite!). I hadnt eaten anything that day coz id been planning on having this great dinner. I ordered 3 courses, while this guy ordered just an entree of some sort of lettuce cups which he only ate like 1/4 of! So while hes watching me eat, & flat out STARING at me, hes saying "oh youre so beautiful" "am I making u uncomfortable" and then kept talking about the house he just bought which he cant afford all on his own ..bla bla bla...(think he was trying to hint something there). Anyway, after Id had my meals, we went to his car out front and hes asked me to come to his place to see his house--("oh nothing dodgy!") , he says. lol . I flat out said nope,, and this homeless person came up and asked my date for a smoke, and he said no. So Ive piped up and said "Sure, I'll roll u one!" and kept the guy chatting for a while as I had better convo with that guy than I did with my lame date. Oh well, at least lame-o paid for my chinese! suck that looser!

The worst date I have ever been on was with a guy that took me to taco bell and leaned across the table in my face the whole time. He was literally like two inches away from my face. I really like my personal space especially on a first date when I am trying to get to know a person.

Blind date, he made us order raw clams. I told him I don't like oysters, I'd probably not like them, then "blamed" me for ordering the clams. Said it 3 times. He sat to my right and spoke with his hands without putting his silverware down. At one point I ducked to avoid having my eyeballs taken out. He complained about being single, that he didn't do anything fun while single (which makes me want to get together with you, btw, insert sarcasm font). Made a racist comment, check please. And no, you cannot walk me to my car!

My worst date was pretty recent.
It was a guy that I knew through a friend. He's a big guy (muscles) and has a lot going for him, but he's just really insecure. The plan was to go to dinner and a movie. For starters, c'mon guys! Where's your originality!? Cliche. Whatever. So, I had to pick him up because he lost his car keys. I drove us to the restaurant and while walking there, he wants to hold my hand. Harmless, right? So I said okay even though it felt a little weird. Then, while at dinner, he keeps touching my face and telling me how beautiful I am...blah, blah, blah. He even invites me to this dinner with his future colleagues (he's going to school to be a doctor). I said yes, but mentally I was thinking how forward that was, and I myself am pretty forward! After dinner, he doesn't seem like he wants to go to a movie and insists on coming over to my place, "We don't have to do anything, we can just cuddle..." I said no to that one and instead decided that we could go up to Horsetooth (I live in Fort Collins, CO). Anyway, on the way there, he says that he needs to stop at the liquor store to buy some beer for his roommates and not only grabs that but also grabs one of those one-shooter vodka drinks. We get up to Horsetooth (where I am just trying to relax and take in the scenery), and he keeps trying to kiss me. It got to the point where he wasn't even asking! He just kept trying even though I had said no several times. Finally, I got so sick of him asking that I just let him. He ended up sucking on my tongue one of the times--it was disgusting. He peed in front of me too...needless to say, when he texted me the next day, I told him the f*** off.

Wasn't really a date. I asked a neighbor over to watch a movie. He leaned over and started kissing me half way through. I push him away and told him to leave. Next day he came over and said he was moving in when he came back from Iraq (he was in the army). I moved out of state before he came home.

Oh, there are SO MANY to choose from! Most recent: Met a guy from online. Our conversations became earlier and earlier, and his patience for a reply to a text message became smaller and smaller. He said that he hadn't gotten his license renewed in time, so I had to drive. Okay, no problem, I guess. So I find him and he doesn't look like his profile pic, but I can tell it's him and that the pic was just an older one. Okay, I can handle that, I guess. In my car, he watched me plug in my iPod, turn it on, and turn the music up just enough to hear it a bit. What did he do? He took out his phone and started playing some other music OVER the music already playing! And he knew it was the type of music I don't care for, either. I reasoned that he was just over excited. We had agreed before that there would be no kissing; I'm gluten free and I found out once how sensitive I am to it when I had kissed a guy who had just drank some beer (yet another bad date). So we're walking and talking, he insists on trying to hold my hand. Okay, I can tolerate that for a little while. Then he physically turns me and tries to force me to kiss him. I turned my head really fast so he only kissed my cheek. He scoffed and said he wasn't going to swallow my whole head (a huge pet peeve of mine is when guys seem like they try to swallow my whole head when kissing). I repeated that we had agreed to no kissing because of my gluten issues, and regardless how either of us felt, I would not jeopardize my health over a stupid kiss with a guy I don't know. Again, I reasoned that he was just over excited. Then I find out that he's been living in a shelter. With bedbugs. He'd been in my car, and didn't tell me he had bedbugs (for the next several months, I checked my entire house and especially my son's back and chest for signs of infestation; luckily it never happened). He insisted that I take him to the public assistance office, then to his doctor's office, all so he could get papers to try and get a room in a residential hotel so he could move out of the shelter. So then we were talking in the car and I was getting more annoyed, and I just about lost it when he told me that he was still married to some chick in a different state and if he could find her, he'd have divorced her already. He knew from my profile that I don't go with married men. My philosophy is (and it is stated on my profile and I repeated it to him then and there) that it doesn't matter if you've been legally separated for 10 years or more; you're still legally married and if you're married, you legally belong to someone else and are not available to me.

So this guy lied on so many levels. He had no patience, no job, no car, no home, had bedbugs and was still married. And when I told him I would not be seeing him again, as he'd been pushing me to do, he asked why. I replied that I need a man who already has his life together. He tried being manipulative by telling me that he had hoped I would stand by him while he rebuilt his life.

Um.......NO.

The date before that had asked me what was wrong with my kid.

The date before that tried to pressure me into sex on the first date, smelled like urine, and had HORRIBLE table manners. On top of that, he was clingy when it came to watching the movie; my entire right side felt numb and squished beneath his considerable girth. And he sucked his teeth. The noise was so disruptive and inconsiderate. On top of that, he told me that he had been accused of molesting his niece a long time ago, but that he was innocent.

Um.......NO.

The guy before that accused me of sleeping with my son's father when I allowed my son to visit his father. How many times did I need to prove to him that I was faithful?! Add that to his other certain behaviors like talking to me like I'm stupid, belittling me, and such, and it did not go well.

Talk about a loser magnet. It's rare that anyone gets a second date out of me because they all turn out to be jerkwads. And quite quickly, too.

Because of this, I've kind of given up on the whole dating thing for now.

Oh goodness where do I begin?!


I had met a guy through an online site. We were supposed to meet at a bar for a few drinks. I get there and he looks NOTHING like the picture he posted. And for good reason too because I probably wouldn't have met him then. We start playing pool and are having an ok time. He at least had a sense of humor. BUT in one fell swoop I was out the door. When I was in close proximity, he grabs me for kiss without my permission! I wanted to slug the f*cker! I put down my drink and left. Never saw him again thankfully.

Fast forward a few years. Again, this was an online date experience. I show up at the bowling alley and he has on at least 50lbs than what he pictured. (at least be honest!!) We were supposed to just have a drink. He then springs on me that he hasn't eaten. So now I'm stuck sitting in front of him as he devours a huge basket of chicken wings as he complains about his ex wife. Halfway through i find myself drifting and staring at the TV and i don't even like sports! I finally hit my breaking point, stood up, thanked him for the beer, told him I wasn't feeling well and walked out. He sent me a snotty text later to which I didn't reply.

Ive had some near misses recently where they kinda went psycho as we were texting and I never set anything up. For example, this one guy got angry with me because i wouldn't send him a sexy pic to add to his caller id. After that he went off the deep end and started spamming my cellphone online. And I mean it was AWFUL! I was getting calls from the local dog kennel, a plastic surgery office, and a plus sized clothing store.

And people wonder why I'm single! I just don't want to deal with the BS of all the crazies out there!
