    My first experience with online dating after my divorce (2.5 years ago) was TERRIBLE.

    I started talking to this guy from online and because I was extremely cautious, we texted for about 3 weeks before meeting.

    We end up going to this fancy restaurant and all is well until he says that he needs to "tell me something".

    He proceeds to tell me that he is an ex-convict that did 3 years in an American prison for being a drug mule in a drug bust that I saw happen on CNN a few years prior. Oh, should I mention we had already discussed how much I loathed drugs and people who did them? Yeah....anyways, I thought he was joking so I'm sitting there laughing like....right bud, when I look at his face and realize he's for serious. The waitress comes up to the table right as i'm realizing this and so after he orders I say "just a bottle of wine for me thanks". He then starts talking to me about his ex-girlfriend who is pregnant....but not to worry, it's not his. It's actually hers and some "quarter black guy" (yup, he's RACIST too, great) and they had apparently had shower sex which resulted in her pregnancy. I clearly needed to know this information to survive. He then goes on to tell me that her vagina is 2cm dialated and she gives him constant updates on her vaginal status. PERFECT? It kind of goes silent for awhile and then he pipes up with "okay so I really like you, but you can't come to my house for at least another couple weeks because my other ex-gf still lives there. She is still hung up on me and I can't get her to move out but i'm just going to throw her things in the driveway and hope for the best. After that, you're free to come by whenever you want"............yeah, no thanks.

    I really don't think online dating is for me anymore lol

    Oh my... that sounds so bad. At least you can laugh about it now!

    I dated a guy I met online for 3 months before I found out he was a felon. We ended up staying together but it was the worst 2 years of my life.

    Omg, these are HILARIOUS!

    Truthfully, I can't really think of any particularly bad dates, but I've dated a lot of weirdos. I did go on a date once with a guy who talked only about money and things he owned and his annual salary and blah blah blah. But the consistent theme with guys I dated before meeting my current S.O. is the incredible clinginess. The texting and calling and Snapchatting ALL DAY LONG. And when I finally snap and tell them, "Look, you're driving me nuts." It's quiet for a day or two, and then I get the classic "Hey" or "Hello?" Insanity. How do people become this socially crippled?

    Let's see...

    The friend fix up: we met at Sanfords (American/Southern restaurant). She started off by being about 10 minutes late. We say hi and sit down and check the menu. She asks me what "Cajun fries" were, and I kinda squinted at her to see if she was being for real... so I said "uhh fries with Cajun seasoning?" and she told me I didn't need to be rude about it. The whole time she is griping about the server and comparing how she did things at Ruby Tuesday back in her serving days. So then she tells me she has a kid, a baby, and that the father is a colossal deadbeat. Wonderful. We eat our food and then the bill comes... she grabs it from the server and says "oh he always makes me pay" and then hands it to me. I was prepared to pay, so whatever. I slide my military ID in there to get my discount and the server announces that yes they do have a discount and thanks for my service. Date looks at me and says "wow, you really are a Jew" (thanks to my friend for providing the unnecessary intel). She wanted dessert, and so did I, so despite loathing this girl, we got ice cream. The place we went didn't take cash, and I never carry, so she paid and made a scene, in jest. And then picked on me for not finishing my cone and also wiping my hands with wetwipes when we got in my car. I walked her back to her car along the river, and she then joked that this was where I was going to rape and kill her then dump her body.

    Once on a date I sneaked an apple into a movie theater. Had no clue it was that loud - I think it was the acoustical properties of the auditorium, but not really sure.

    Another date was an online thing, and the "athletic" girl was about 100lbs overweight and refused to eat in front of me as I ate all of my courses. I was annoyed at that misrepresentation and ate cheesecake in front of her too. She texted me after and said "everybody lies a little," she was working the baby weight off (her kid was 7 BTW), and thought I'd probably be overweight too.

    I went out with a guy once and he told me he was taking me somewhere and it was a surprise and to dress really nice. So I got all dressed up. He picked me up wearing a tshirt with a huge fish on the front and flip flops and took me to Joes Crab Shack. While Im all dolled up in a fancy dress and heels.. .embarrasing.

    Had some friends introduce me to a guy that had seen my pic on fb and thought I was pretty. Within a hour he was slammed and told me he had been in love with me for years and told his mother I was his soul mate and he was ready to help raise my kids and get in a serious relationship. I bust out laughing thinking the guy is just being silly and he starts crying.. it was beyond AWKWARD. I never let friends hook me up anymore.

    I could go on and on. I always attract the weirdos lol

    So my friends were tired of how I was the third wheel. Personally, I have no problem with it but yes, it would be nice to have a relationship. Well, two of them set up an online account for me and didn't tell me. Started getting weird emails and then they finally told me about what they did. They said they took it down and everything, but then we went out, and low and behold, they had set up a speed dating thing with six different guys. Well, one of them literally had seven drinks and after a 'ten' minute date went in for a kiss. Now, I don't mind if you chew, smoke, or whatever, but he had loose tobacco in his mouth and horrible bad breath. I've never ran so fast to the bathroom to throw up.
    Another account is when I went out with a guy and he expected me to drive because my car got better gas milage than his truck.

    Nope. It was a weird, instant, mutual dislike. First and last time that's ever happened to me! I had a good response text all lined up too :(

    I recently started dating for really the first time ever... I was married pretty young to my first boyfriend. Anyhoo... met someone at a bar who, it turned out, was so high he didn't notice when he spilled 1/2 his beer down the front of him, continuously started stories in the middle and asked me a dozen times what I do for work. It was that same weekend though, after I was gunshy about going on anymore dates, I met my now amazing boyfriend.

    I got lost going to a date, so I text him and told him I would be a few minutes late (I was 3 mins late) when I got there he asked why I was late, I told him that the directions he gave me got me lost...he started to yell at me. WTF!!!!! Then he asked how I went and I told him and he said that it as my fault for not taking the right off the mall exit...I'm sorry I take the one that legit loops around the mall, what other one is there?!? And he wouldn't let it go all night. Then when it was time to pay, I paid for my half and he goes oh you're one of those who thinks they are too good to let the guy pay, I held my tongue. Then he asked for a hug since he wasn't getting anything else that night. YUP, he was a winner!

    On the flip side, my brother went on a first date that he got wicked drunk at and passed out then woke up and threw up in his truck and on her. She finally got his address to take him home and while she was in his apt waiting for her ride he told he she could fold his laundry since it was clean and she had nothing better to do. Well 6 years later the got married, go figure!

    hmmm...

    I went to an activity park and while waiting in line to zipline after just meeting for the first time, he proceeded to spend the whole time chatting up the single woman behind us. I thought about asking her for her number for him.

    Wow! Thanks to all the ladies with the courage to open up about their terrible dating experiences. You've helped me a lot with my intermittent self-image problem. After reading these stories, I will never, ever again think I'm a loser, or don't have much to offer. I hope you all find the man of your dreams!

    Y'know, I have never really understood that. I was online dating at my heaviest and simply included CURRENT photos and my honest description of plus sized. I never had any problems at all with finding attractive & interesting guys who were into my body type.

    I have had many female friends & coworkers over the years whining/crying after dates who weren't into them after meeting irl when they had only shown these guys profile pics from 7+ years and 2 kids earlier.

    hmmm...
    prom: walked into my prom and one after another, these girls start chatting him up and talking about how they dated him briefly. Most of the night was spent with him "catching up". my date was homeschooled... no idea how he knew all these girls....

    While a freshman in college, a guy I had known for years told me he liked me for a long time and asked me out. sure, why not? well, turns out he was a closet racist and starts telling me how mexicans are lazy, ignorant, and just need to get out of the US. when i mention how offensive this is and that I was hispanic (mexican in fact) he backpedaled and told me I "wasnt like all of them" and "you cant even tell you're colored".

    So glad i am married to a prince now.... dating is rough....

    I am married now... thank god... because in the past... I have attracted the biggest weirdos on the face of the planet. Soo many bad dates.... but the 2 that stick out:

    Met the guy online and we had talked for a few weeks and he seemed normal... we decide to have dinner... we met there... he brought me flowers and all. 5 minutes into the date he is telling me "if we got married my family would totally love you". First date, 5 minutes in and he is planning our wedding... check please! I finished the date but ignored his calls thereafter.

    When I was about 19 I had this personal trainer that was only a few years older than me... I thought he was pretty cute and charming so my girlfriend that went to the gym with me and I asked if he and a friend wanted to go get dinner later. He agreed... brought an equally cute friend with him... the whole time the 2 of them had nothing to talk about but fitness/workout/sports related topics... ended up playing football with their napkin rings (you know how you kick it through someone's fingers as the "goal") and pretty much ignored us the whole time. Not only was that the last time we saw each other for a date... it was pretty awkward having him for a trainer afterwards too :)

    My terrible date started out with me thinking I'd been stood up. Met this guy online and the plan was to walk along the waterfront boardwalk and then pop into a neighborhood pub. He was supposed to show up outside my apartment building at 7:30pm so I waited in the lobby as I didn't want to give him my suite number. By 8:00 I figured he wasn't showing. By 8:15 I was calling him all sorts of unflattering names in my head. ;)

    On the off-chance he'd gotten lost trying to find my place, I'd stayed in the lobby this entire time. Just as I was getting up from my seat to call it a night I see him running up to the front door of my building waving his hands trying to get my attention. Turns out he'd been pulled over by the cops about a half block away just before our meeting time.

    His car was impounded and his license yanked for three months. Our 'date' consisted of him asking me for a ride home - about 45 minutes away. I think I was in shock as I did take him home! :) He was a drunk, sad, puppy-dog-eyed guy who wanted so hard to impress me. Yeah.....no.

    I went on a blind date through a personal ad (age before computers). We met at a bar for drinks and she immediately started hitting on the bartender. Never really talked to me at all. Good thing they had some nice beers on tap!

    And here I was thinking my co-worker that wound up going out with a guy that sent her haikus before and after the date had it odd. Definitely glad I'm married. I don't envy missing out on these opportunities.

    Ugh!!

    I had one personals experience prior to the internet dating years. I was 18 or 19 (1996) and in college, and a local radio station had this weird phone service where you could call and listen to others' recordings and leave them voicemails...lol.

    Anyway, I did a recording and mentioned I liked the Pixies and no one my age I knew was really into them but this guy in his 30s sent me a voicemail on the service and we spoke on the phone a few times. It was THE most awkward thing ever. He was actually not CRAZILY unsuitable for me considering the age difference because he was single, no kids, had a job and degree etc, and he looked maybe 25-29. But I was super young and in some ways even a bit immature for 18-19 and my life was all about college, ska shows, my job in a supermarket, wild parties, etc, and he was a motorcycle collector and wanted to take me to see Jimmy Buffett. The one time we met up it was just really awkward and he ran into his friends and they were a couple in their 40s who looked like my parents did at that time. Sorry no!! hehe

    After two IM chats, he INSISTS on meeting. We agree to meet in two hours at a place fifteen minutes drive away for both of us. This guy walks in with Bozo the Clown hair, dirty cargo pants, ratty flip-flops, and a t-shirt that does NOT cover his very large belly. After fifteen minutes of no conversation (despite my best efforts), Bozo asks me to confirm my age. It's just a number, so I confirm that I am indeed 44. He is 52 so not such a big difference, right?

    Now, I don't mind older, chubby, broke, shy, or awkward. But *kitten* is a problem...this *kitten* looked at me and said, "You are a little old for me. I am really looking for someone in her 20's."

    I picked up my purse and told him, "I don't think this is going to work out." :noway: Could not get out of there fast enough!

    Thanks for all the great stories - you guys make me feel better about the drama of the dating scene...

    I had a pretty bad one a couple weeks ago.....

    We went out bowling. I met him there, and when he walked in, he wouldn't hardly even look at me. We had to wait about 15 minutes for a lane, so we went to the bar to have a beer. He was pretty quiet and seemed shy, which I could work with, but it only went downhill.
    We bowled and there was no conversation for almost 2 hours. He would high 5 me if I got a strike or we would make jokes if we were horrible, but nothing any deeper than that. After the games were done, he suggested we go have another drink and talk. At this point I had already had 2 beers and being a light weight didn't want to drive home drunk. I told him I would have one more. He then orders a shot along with the beer. Ok....whatever....I took it and told him no more.
    We then get to talking and he tells me how women shouldn't lift heavy weights because it makes them bulky. Then he made fun of me for lifting anything more than 10lbs because "women are a weak species". Then he says that I should use the cable machines because they are better for me, and that if he had the choice of sleeping with a "cut chick" or a "fat chick" he would chose the "fat chick" I said "So what you're saying is, you're not getting laid tonight?"
    He quickly changes the subject and somehow brings up homosexuality. He knows that my sons dad is not present at all in his life. He has a son the same age as mine and says "That's why little boys need their dads in their lives, to teach them how not to be gay" I has floored! I said "My son is going to grow up and be who he is going to be and I will love him regardless". Then he says "Well I want my son to have a family" to which I responded "Well, I want my son to not be ignorant"
    That pretty much ended the date. Then he had the balls to text me when he got home and tell me he had a good time and that we should go out again. :noway:
    OMG ...it was so bad you think maybe there was a hidden camera? Wow...

    Met a dude on Match.com recently and went to dinner/drinks...he was on his phone checking match.com most of the time in between his boring *kitten* stories about what him and his friends do for fun. I cut it short and got the hell out of there without saying goodbye.

    I've had a few pretty bad ones over the years...but one I can think of is , online dating, we finally met for coffee and I ordered a coffee and he ordered juice (it was morning time) and I hadn't even sipped my coffee when he asked 'When you are pregnant I hope you don't plan on drinking coffee...it's very bad for the baby, you know?" WHAAAAAT? I realized he was looking for a baby machine... so I heard him go blah blah blah and Then when I finished my coffee I said 'Good luck..bye'.
    Well, I could write a whole bunch of others... but some of the ones I've read here are absolutely terrible...mine were just a bit bad.

    I went on a date a couple weeks ago now. He asked if he could pick me up, because he felt that was appropriate. I agreed to it because I thought it seemed like a nice gesture. He pulls into my drive, doesn't leave the car, and my phone goes off. It's a text. I open the text and it reads "I'm here turd"........

    this was a first date, and he not only doesn't come to the door, but he refers to me as turd?

    It was pretty much over before it started.

    However, at the end he went in for a kiss, totally unexpected as I was putting on medicated lip balm at the time, while in mid conversation. He just "went for it" and it was comparable to what you would think kissing a cats *kitten* would be like. He was so tight lipped and puckered. He had on the stereotypical 12 year old girl, over exaggerated kissy/pucker face......and went for it.......like that.

    I never went out with him again.

    I lol'd WAY too much at "I'm here turd"

    One of worst dates I had we met through e-harmony and we were getting on really well online. After a couple of weeks we agreed to meet up so we met up and went to a pub. She spent the whole date staring at the TV behind me because she wanted to watch Britains got talent or one of those shows, the whole thing came off like a job interview. Afterwards we were both at the train station on opposite platforms and she wouldn't even look at me. I never heard from her again.

    As depressing as this is, I love it.

    So here's another one of my doozies.

    I met a guy on FB who added me randomly. We started talking for awhile and I saw that we had a lot of mutual friends. I agreed to go out one night to the movies with him. He picks me up and we drive an hour away to another city to watch the movie because the one he wants to see isn't playing where we live. He takes me to a horror film, knowing full well i'm terrified of scary movies, just to get me to cuddle. So we arrive and we're walking in when all of a sudden he says "oh wait, I have to go back, I think I left the door unlocked and there's a laptop in the car"....okay fine, no problem. So he comes back and all of a sudden I notice that he reiks of alcohol? I brush it off like maybe it's some strange cologne, or i'm smelling something. So we go in, and I use my scene points card to get us free movies......because i'm a cheap date like that and I might as well use them up. Well he starts screaming excitedly "omg you're the best, you're so sweet" and proceeds to yell "give me a hug" while not waiting for an answer and instead just wrapping his arms tightly around my neck and hugging me for a solid 2 minutes in the middle of the line of movie goers. It was awkard to say the very least, for myself, and probably for everyone around us. So he finally lets me out of his death grip and he says he's got to make a pit stop to the bathroom. I go in and get us seats. He comes back and he REIKS of alcohol again. I look at him and I'm like "did you just DRINK in the bathroom? do you have a flask somewhere?" he looks at me and he's like "no it's those idiots infront of us that are clearly drunk and smellig like booze". I let it go thinking maybe I was imagining things and/or it WAS someone else......until he starts loudly insulting everyone around us, at which point I realized he was definitely on the sauce. He starts mocking and insulting everyone around us calling them losers and making racist comments. Thankfully the movie came on and the loudness of that overpowered him, before we got our *kitten* handed to us.

    So we're watching the movie and guy immediately grabs my hand. Now, I just met you about an hour ago, and we're already doing the hand holding in a movie? I thought it was a bit much but he was drunk and unruly so I left it alone for a few minutes and then pretended after about 5 that i was scared and needed both hands to cover my face. He kept trying to grab for me but I kept making it "obvious" that my hands were needed to shield my eyes. My body language couldn't have told him more GET THE HELL AWAY. So, the movie ends (darn!) and he asks if I want to go out to dinner. I'm like sure why not? I'm already an hour away from home, might as well get a drink in ME by this point. So we go and sit down in this family restaurant, kids all around us with their families and this guy starts going off about what a drug addicted *kitten* his ex fiance is (mother of his kids) and how she's ripping him through the mud, alienating him from the kids etc. He's in a rage by this point and I'm getting nervous. I go to the bathroom and come back to him still mouthing off about her (it's been about 45 minutes at this point) and all I keep hearing is *kitten*, *****, c*nt. I don't even think he's making sentences anymore, he's just throwing out the words. So out of nowhere he slides out of the side of the booth he's in and slides in next to me and sticks his face in my neck and sniffs really hard......then yells wow you smell amazing & proceeds to start to suck my neck at which point I shoved him off and he went back to his side.......and back to yelling about the revenge he's going to get on his ex. We finally leave and go back home & he asks if I want to get a drink at "his place". He doesn't even let me answer before driving me there. So I have a few free drinks and you can tell he's trying to get me hammered, which he ended up succeeding at. He goes in for the kill and tries to get it on with me a few hours in to our music video watching drinking session and at that point i'm like......yeah, take me home, not happening.

    Come to find out after all this.........the reason we have so many mutual friends is because......he's dating a friend of mine, and has been for a year and a half. The car he was driving? borrowed from a friend. He also doesn't have a valid license, from 3 prior DUIs.The "house" we were at.....his friends house (friend was out of town). The job he said he had? he'd been out of work for awhile. The kids he said he was alienated from? He had abandoned them a year earlier, by choice. He claimed to drink on occasion. He is an avid alcoholic who drinks to black out......every single night. He claimed that he didn't smoke and found it disgusting........he is a 2 pack a day smoker.

    His excuse for all this? No disrespect Ang, yes I have a girlfriend.......but I was trying to trade up from her with you. You're an upgrade.

    Move along idiot..........good Lord.

    I've only had 2 really bad dates. The first one involved me getting roofied by a school teacher before a concert. Luckily, it was still daylight and there were thousands of people around but I spent the night in the ER and had to pay for a taxi to take me home at 5am. He denied it was him but he provided the only cocktail I had that evening. Obviously, I never spoke to him again.

    The second one wasn't even a first date. I had been seeing this guy for about a month. We both shared a love of live music and he was pretty cool. I had a few hangups about him and I had noticed that he could really pound the drinks so I was still kind of on the fence. I love my cocktails but I don't set out to get **** faced every time. He wanted to take me to see Perpetual Groove and although I don't dig jam bands, I was up for it. We stopped at a bar and hung out with his buddy, who was the sound guy for PGroove and we were having a good time. I had 2 drinks and called it good so I could nurse one more at the show and drive home. This is where he tells me that he's low on cash and would I mind buying the drinks for the night. No problem, he's taken me out a few times before and paid for everything. So we get to the show and I'm having a good time. We have great seats at the sound board and the music is much better than I expected. Then he starts POUNDING vodka tonics on my dime. Even after I quit drinking he still keeps chugging away. Then he lets his long hair out of the ponytail and starts whipping it around and dancing like some crazy hippie. I'm annoyed but trying to ignore him and just enjoy the music. He keeps asking me repeatedly if I'm okay and having fun. Like every 2 minutes. By this time I'm not okay because he is annoying the **** out of me and ruining the show. Still chugging drinks on my tab while I sip water. Finally he asks me if I'm okay again and if I want to leave. Why yes, *kitten*, now I do want to leave because you've ruined my time. We get to the car and it's a snowstorm. He gets out to clean my windshield and can't even manage to make contact with the scraper. Then he offers to drive. Sure ****head, please drive us home since you've had like 10 drinks in the past hour. I get us safely back to his house and all I want to do is go to sleep (had planned to stay there since it was quite a way from my place) but he wants to make food and stay up and drink. Nope, I'm going to bed. I can't sleep because I'm sober and I have this dreadful feeling in the pit of my stomach. He comes to bed and starts wanting to talk to me. I swear he was trying to work up the nerve to tell me he loved me. I knew it was coming so quite suddenly I jump out of bed and tell him I have to go home and sleep. As I'm getting dressed he's saying over and over "I blew, I blew it". Yep, you blew it. I "broke up" with him over text the next day.
