    While with some friends singing karaoke met a nice guy (or so I thought) at the bar. He was a geologist contracted for work in my town. I gave him my number and a few days later he called me. We went out for dinner that night...I drove since he didn't know the area. We had a nice dinner before going to the bar where bought me drink after drink...he wanted to have something else happen after the drinks but it so waist happening.

    He messaged me on myspace saying we should be friends and that he really didn't want to do one night stands...the second date we went on...can't believe he wanted to go again was the the casino....he had my sister drive us in his rental car.....he wound up getting so drunk and kept giving me money to gamble with (which isn't that bad).....but the way home got super gabby hands with me....thank good he finished his contract and went home.

    Never heard from him ever again.

    I've only been on one date, if you could even call it that. I'd grown up with the guy and since we have the same last name it always felt like we were related. Anyway, his family lived an hour away from us and all of a sudden they started showing up at our church every Sunday, with plans to come home with us between services. My parents were not thrilled. (They were nice people, but they did NOT believe in bathing...) One Sunday, after his mom made him, he asked me out. A week later my parents and I had to drive to where they lived for this "date". The whole ride up there I was hoping we would get a flat tire or something so we could just go home. When we finally got to the restaurant, his parents had decided that we were all going to sit at one table. I believe the only words I said to him all night were please and thank you. The entire time we were there his parents were joking around about me becoming their daughter and blah, blah, blah. I felt bad for him, but the next time he asked me out I told him no. Amazingly enough, they stopped showing up on Sunday's, I wonder why? Honestly, I think that one experience is why I dread the idea of ever having to go out with anyone ever again. :ohwell:

    The worst date I ever went on was one of my first as well! Me and my then boyfriend went on a date, we decided on spur of the moment to go to the cinema, I thought that I would pick a scary looking film so that I could cuddle up to him, but unfortunately I got the posters mixed up... we ended up watching a film about a Paedophile. I wont even go into the rest of the plot as I really dont want to to be honest, but talk about awkward! I really didnt know what to do! We discussed leaving but got "shushed" by the people next to me, we were only 15 and didnt dare move or make a sound after that. At least we laughed about it afterwards!

    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!

    Wow...My jaw just dropped reading this! Mine seem insignificant after this.


    Probably 3 that qualify as really bad in my book:
    1. Blind date (internet). We meet up for a drink in the afternoon and as soon as we sit down on the terrace, all he does is stare at me. I try to start a conversation a few times by asking light open questions, but I get "yes" or "no" answers only. At one point, I'm just annoyed and bored, so I quickly finish my beer and as I'm about to tell him I'm leaving, he finally speaks: "It's so great to finally meet a girl who does not care that my cousin is famous. Usually girls just throw themselves at me." REALLY? Are you for real? I did not know who his cousin was nor did I care. At that point, I just felt like laughing at him, but simply left.

    2. Blind date (co-worker set us up). Good looking guy, outgoing, athletic, world traveller, well versed...sounds good right? Well it would have been if for the entire dinner, he had not mentioned everything he owned and its price. I skipped desert so this date would end as early as possible.

    3. Blind date (Internet): We met up for a drink and within the first 15minutes, he was asking me my position on welfare, illegal immigrants, religion... I felt like I was under interrogation! He also made sure that whatever I answered, he'd tell me I was wrong and would go into a rant as to why. Let's just say I quickly got out of there...

    This happened to me too! I met a guy at a concert and we really hit it off so we agreed to meet up for coffee the next week. We get our drinks and sit down and the first thing that he asks is what my morals were.... then wanted to talk about politics, and his wild party escapedes, conveniently we were on the opposite spectrum for everything, and he wanted to argue about it.

    Match.com date with a fairly impressive resume, and car, and house, etc. I am not that type, but he told me all about it, so I share. Anyway, at a very expensive restaurant, after a glass of wine, he proceeds to take off his mouth piece unit, at the table before we eat! Grossest thing I have ever seen.

    Years ago, a guy I had been dating took me for a ride in the country. We stopped at this bar in the middle of nowhere which he had frequented previously. When we walked in, a friend of his was at the bar. My date introduced me to the guy, then went off to see someone in the back. So his friend and I got to talking and after a while, I wondered aloud where my date was. The bartender said, "oh, he left an hour ago." I was furious. I was stranded out in the middle of nowhere. The friend offered to take me home. I didn't want him to because I really didn't know him, but at the time, I thought I had no choice. I sat close to the passenger side door ready to jump out in case this guy was going to rape me or something. Turned our the friend was a decent guy. No funny business. I dumped my loser boyfriend, but his friend and I became close.

    We stayed friends for years until he passed away in 2007. I miss him.

    It was with a guy I worked with at the time. We had been flirty and chatty with one another for probably a month or so before he finally asked me out. He asked me if dinner at Olive Garden and a movie was okay - I said yes. Date started off well. Then we get to Olive Garden. I'm looking at the menu and say "Have you ever had ___ (something on the menu, which I do not recall now as it has been YEARS since this happened)? and he said "Yes, it is good. Get it if you want it". So, I decide I will and close the menu. The waitress walks up, he orders first and just as I go to order, he says "You brought your money didn't you? I'm buying MY dinner, but NOT yours". I had only brought $10 or so with me because I was under the impression he was paying as I'd NEVER been asked on a date before and the guy didn't pay. Had *I* asked, I would have paid!

    He sat in front of me eating a full meal while I ate salad, breadsticks and drank water because it was all I could afford. I went to the bathroom in the middle of dinner, called my mom and asked her to pick me up. I paid my bill quietly and left.

    Now this is just down right wrong... If it was going to be a dutch treat it should have been discussed in the beginning.

    Haven't had an awful lot of dates, but I did have a couple of bad ones...

    The first one didn't really turn out to be a date. My best friend and I had gotten boyfriends that were best friends, and we were supposed to go on a double date. My then boyfriend couldn't make it because of something with his family. Just, he didn't bother telling me, he did tell my best friend's boyfriend, who didn't say anything either until my best friend and I met him. So there I was, being a total third wheel with no chance of getting home. That's when I started smoking:laugh:

    The next one was with the same guys. It was time to let our other friends meet our boys. The boys were from a different culture and it wouldn't be good for them to be seen with girls like us, it would get them in trouble with their families and all that. So basically, they walked several meters behind us all the time and sat at different tables when we ate and things like that. So we didn't really spend any time with them, it felt more like they were stalkers...lol.

    And the last one was with a guy I met online, we had talked for a while and decided to meet IRL. Was looking forward to it because we had a great chemistry online. We met, walked around in the city, and I think there was spoken like two sentences during those two and a half hours...Awkward much?

    Called a wrong number once looking for someone with the same name as the person i had called accidentally. So we started talking, dude seemed real nice over the phone, he asked me out to a movie and dessert. So we meet at the theater hes dressed nicely has a bunch of flowers for me and hes not too shabby. I leaned in for a greeting hug and...gagged! Dude smelled like a fresh cow pie. I dont think he knew how awful it was, i mean dressed to impress with flowers, maybe just immune i guess. I sat next to him through the blurry movie cause my eyes didnt stop watering. I didnt want to hurt his feelings, he was really nice, so i told him i had a little bit of a headache and needed to cut the evening short. The next time he called i didnt answer

    he took me to the cheapest pizza place in town for supper, which is fine.
    I ate one piece of pizza, he ate the REST of it.
    but then, he insisted i pay for half the meal.
    we then went to a house party at his ex girlfriend's house
    he left at some point to pick up his friend, (who was also a friend of mine and told me she had a crush on him.)
    and because the date was going terrible, I decided I may as well get bombed & try have a good time
    ended up having sex with him and getting pregnant.

    definitely the WORST date ever.

    Oh I have so many. I think my best is the guy who was a compulsive liar/one-upper. He was also rude.

    We met speed-dating. We clicked at first, and almost immediately agreed to go on a date later that week. I lived an hour outside of LA at the time, and he lived in Hollywood. He suggested a restaurant in LA, and I agreed on it. Took me an hour to drive in, and I had to valet my car. He comes walking up, and I asked where he parked his car. "Oh, I can walk here, I live down the street." OK, that's strike one.

    We go into the restaurant (he didn't hold the door for me, not that he needed to, but on a first date? Come on) and we sit down. I can tell right away he's going to try to get me not to order too much by making passive-aggressive comments at me. For example, I browsed the appetizers and mentioned the empanadas, a house specialty this place was known for. "You want an appetizer? Wow how hungry are you?" he said. DUDE. They're $2. I said "I just drove an hour into the city, I'm pretty freaking hungry." We got two empanadas.

    After we order our dinner (he gets a chicken dish, I get steak because forget it, might as well have a good meal if he's gonna be a jerk, and later I did offer to split the check) we begin talking. I soon realize I can't say anything without him one-upping me. Like if I said I liked my apartment, he'd cut me off to tell me his apartment was the inspiration for the 40 Year Old Virgin (ok?) and while discussing previous bad dates, he cut me off to tell me about his ex who he was super in love with, but she had 8 brothers who hated him, so they jumped him and beat him up. He'd also claimed to have burns over 3/4 of his body from surviving a bomb blast, a plate glass window went through his chest in a car accident, he was shot twice in the leg, and had been attacked by wild dogs while hiking, apparently. I'm not really sure why he told me all of this, but I just ate my steak and let him enjoy his own stories.

    Dinners over, I offer to split but he pays, so that was nice of him. We get to my car and he goes "Well, that was nice, see ya!" and walks away. I pay the valet and drive an hour home.

    A few days later, he asks me out, and I said no. So he says "Can I call your friend then? The one you did the speed dating with? She was cute." Um... sure, go for it.

    My now husband and I had been together for only a couple months and since I was in Arizona and I had never been to the Grand Canyon, he decided that we should take a week vacation there. No problem at all! We drove the 8 or so hours to the north rim of the Grand Canyon and started to set up the massive tent (Neither of us owned a tent so we borrowed one from his father). Well playfully I GENTLY tugged on his underwear waistband while he was bent over and tore the band right off. I was mortified. He put up with me and we finished putting up the tent. The whole rest of the trip he realized that he probably shouldn't bring clumsy dates to the grand canyon. Thankfully he has put up with me for two years and we are still going strong :)

    Another date brought me to a place that only served eggs, expected me to pay and stole my keys so I would stay longer. (Screaming bloody murder will get your keys back.. so will pepper spray)

    Another time this guy took me to Joes Crab shack and conveniently "forgot" his wallet. I paid, we went outside and I was going though my phone to call my cousin to come get me because I was scared.. and he peed on me.. He literally urinated on me whilst outside. I have never been so mad in my entire life

    :noway:

    You win. All of my bad dates seem pretty insignificant now. :embarassed:

    yeah seriously this one is a serious WTF.
    the story about the sweaty guy eating her food and throwing the car seat out the window is pretty incredible too!

    I didn't know that was a thing that people did if they didn't like you while on a date. I was 18 and he was 27 or something. I was leaving for basic only a few months later so I couldn't beat him up..
