Describe Your WORST DATE

[lecach]

My worst date was when I let my counselor at the unemployment office set me up with his son. The counselor was very nice looking. So I figured his son must be too. WRONG. His son shows up for our date. He was about a foot shorter than me (I am only 5' 2") and was wearing cowboy boots with high heels. He had that permanent stretched out cheek that guys who chew tobacco have. He told me we're going out to eat and then to a country music club. I liked country music although I am more of a city girl. He takes me to one of those steak restaurants (think Golden Corral) where you order at the counter. Then we get to the club. He buys me a drink. About 1 1/2 hours later - after not offering to get me another and me being too nice to ask - he goes to the restroom. I immediately go to the bar and get a beer. And then commiserate with some people that I knew who could tell I was miserable. We leave and go home. I am having a bad allergy attack and feel bad. When we pull up in my driveway he throws the seat of his truck back and tries to get me to lay down with him! In my parents driveway! I got the heck out of there. He called me several times after that and I just avoided him. A year later he called and asked "if I still liked to go honky-tonkin". Um NO.

I was in college. We had a Secret Valentine exchange with the guys on the other side of my dorm floor. At the end, we revealed who we'd been giving to and my guy wanted to take me out as a thank you. I really wasn't interested in him, but I said okay to be nice. After all, it was a thank you, right? We got in his car and at every stop his car would die. He'd have to jump out and lift the hood and do something with the wires to get it going again. Other cars were honking at us, right and left. At dinner, he never gave an answer longer than maybe two words. I talked until I was breathless. Then we headed to the movies (with lots of car stalling) and found out the movie woudn't begin for 1 1/2 hours. I said I was tired, so why didn't we just go watch something on tv in the dorm tv room or something? No way. We drove around for an hour and a half, in that goofy car and me talking. I was so glad when the night was over. I figured he knew I had a terrible time because he never asked me out again.

Fast forward to the next fall. I met my new roommate and she acted really unfriendly. After a few days the truth came out. She was the date from hell's girlfriend at the time of our date. He kept me out for the whole evening to make her jealous. Guess it worked, but they broke up soon after. I NEVER understood what she saw in him, but we actually had a good laugh about it once we got to know each other.

My other terrible date was with my DH. We hadn't been dating long, when he invited me to go out of town with his family for his cousin's wedding. He was in the wedding party. I didn't really know anyone there. Just barely his parents and his grandparents. After the wedding, they wanted to take photos. I understood not being in the pictures, but they wouldn't let me stay in the same room with the wedding party while they took the photos. I HAD to wait at the reception. So I head to the reception. DH's parents were busy. His dad was in a huge group of men laughing and talking. His mom was serving punch. So I was on my own and I didn't know a soul. I felt like a wedding crasher and not in a good way. Finally the bride and groom appear and they cut the cake, etc. But my then-boyfriend doesn't show. I KNOW the pictures are over, but he still doesn't come to the party. When he finally arrives it's been over an hour and I'm mad and miserable. He was out decorating their car with the ushers and wedding party and sort of forgot about me. He had no idea I wasn't having a blast at the reception. Sigh. He's so lucky I gave him another chance. We've been married 22 years today.

He took me to the circus on our first date. I am not a circus fan at all. 'Nuff said. Oh, no pre-circus or post-circus dinner, either.

Did ya at least get peanuts??

High School. Her parents came home earlier than expected.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

the night I went to pick up Fawn Liebowitz

What happened? Did somebody ask to dance wif yo dates?

 

[Mrs.Toad]

Well on the ride home he says "So I am thinking if I were Richie Cunningham where would I take you now ? Is there a blueberry hill around here?

That has got to be the funniest line I have ever heard!

OK, here's mine. Late teens, this friend of a friend was after me to go out with him for a long time, but I really wasn't attracted to him at all. He had just invented some kind of new skateboard thing and made a ton of money, so all my friends were telling me to "give him a chance... you might like the guy... he's rich, you know". So finally, I begrudgingly went out with him.

He was very nice, took me to a nice restaurant, then a movie, but I was miserable because I didn't like him and felt like a jerk for going out with him for his money.

He took me home, where he kissed me goodnight on the doorstep, I turned, shut the door, walked straight to the bathroom and threw up. I never felt sick the whole night, it was just immediately after kissing the guy. He never called me again, so I guess he didn't think I was much fun, either. That, or maybe he went home and threw up, too.


ETA: Guess I'm lucky. I've never had a date as bad as many of you have. I did have one stranger in a bar ask me to dance, then after about a minute of dancing with him, not even knowing his name, he asked me "So, are we going to have sex tonight, or what?" I turned and walked away immediately, he followed me, but I wouldn't listen to what he had to say.

My Senior year, my boyfriend of 2 years dumped me on Valentine's because I wouldnt sleep with him. I had some great friends and they all tried to make me feel better. First at the end of the year outdoor dance, 2 band geeks (I have nothing against band geeks, heck i dated a bunch, but they really were geeks) decided they both wanted to date me, they proceded to ask me to dance every slow song and interupt each other each time the other danced with one. one was in college and took his friends freshman sister to the senior prom and the other was a freshman who "was very mature for his age, and that age didnt matter and he didnt care if i was old" Luckly a friend rescued me and we left.

That fall I am in college and I got asked out a friend of my sister's who was a bit slimy but I was loney and desprete. he picks me up and we go to his house to get something, where he tells his family I am his finacee and he is in love with me.I freak and try to explain that this is the first time we went out but his mom basically ignores me. we go to the movie and he trys to kiss me. I freak out and leave, I got a ride home from a guy who is college, who is dating a good friend at the time.. I know him well and he is a cool. I see him the next night at my old high schools football game and he asks me to his school vs my colleges homecoming game because my friend is working and cant go and he doesnt want to go alone.. I say sure. he is a good guy and figure its ok since i was going to the game anyway, well he was all over me and I was mad and reminded him he had a girlfriend. He told me that he really liked me and they had broken up and He apologized and brought me home. at my house he proceded to try to kiss me and yelled at him and left. He called me everyday for months, wanting to see me. One day out of the blue, he called me and left me this long voice mail about how sorry he was and he wanted to see me, one last time. I felt bad and since I was staying at my friends house( the same one he had been dating) for 2 weeks while her parents were away so I told him to meet me there. I came home from work to find my friend and this guy naked on the couch! I am still haunted by the image of his naked hairy butt as I walked into the house!

I was a senior in high school and this friend of a friend - he was in college at a town about 2 hours away - asked me out. He picks me up and we go to this basketball game between his school and a local college. We don't even sit down - we walk in and he is walking faster than me so it is like I am following him around. He walks around the gym and talks to a few girls - doesn't even introduce me. The he wants to leave.

We are passing the Zoo - in this town there is a park and lake by the zoo where people used to go to "park". He suggests that we go to the zoo. I told him that I didn't want to. Well, I am sitting in the middle of the car seat and he has his arm around my shoulders on the back of the seat. When I say no, he pulls his arm around my neck fairly tightly and says that he thinks we should go to the zoo. This scares me quite a bit. I pulled his arm from my neck, scooted over by the passenger side door and told him that he would take me home right now or I would get out, walk to a gas station - we were only about half a block from one - and call my dad to pick me up. I also told him that he wouldn't want me to do that becaue my dad wouldn't be happy.

He took me right home.

Monday at school when I was in choir, one of the girls in choir was very angry with me and I didn't know why. Well it turned out that this guy was her sisters boyfriend - she went to the same college - and they were having a fight and that he asked me out and took me to the ball game because she would be there and he was hoping it would make her jealous.

I explained that I didn't know he had a girlfriend and that the date was a flop anyway. I never saw him again.

I was in my late 20's and I accepted a date from an "older man". He was a balding, slightly overweight gentleman that worked on talk radio. I called him a DJ once or twice and he was very offended. As the evening progressed, he started telling me how to act....I kinda' felt like I was out for the evening with my Dad! We were living in Reno and he took me to a casino and used coupons for dinner, which meant that I could only get a certain plate from the menu. That made me uncomfortable in that I was hoping to eventually be married to someone who could afford to support me....so, that wasn't the best impression! We went to a fight at one of the casinos for his job, which I was not into boxing. But, the evening became quite exciting - boxing is MUCH BETTER live! I didn't go out with him again....and he just couldn't figure out why!

 

[binny]

Well lets see.
My "boyfriend" dumped me in front of 8 of our mutual friends and made a very big scene about the fact I wouldn't sleep with him. This was outside and the movie theatre and I was horrified. Friends all took my side and left him in the cold thankfully.

Another date. Guy I had a huge crush on takes me out for Pizza, we had a great time until the pizza came, he pushed a couple of napkins down on the top of the pizza to sop up the oil then he shows it to me and says "See what I just saved your arteries from?" check please.



oh there are more... those 2 just stick out my mind.

A previous post reminded me of this.
My DH and I had been dating each other for about 4 months when he asked me to go back packing for a weekend with a bunch of his friends. I love the outdoors so I thought it would be fun. I am a few years younger than my DH who is a couple of years younger than his friends.

He didnt tell me that all the other couples have been married and friends for years and have kids some in middle school. I was a junior in college at the time almost 21. Big difference in where we were in life.

So I go on the trip and he spoke to me maybe 2 times the entire weekend. I was so happy I had brought books as the other women were not very friendly. I think they liked his previous GF better and didnt think I would be sticking around. Who could blame them when DH wasnt talking to me. We didnt have a fight I think he just forgot I was there and got wrapped up with his friends.

I remember how angry and unhappy I was as we walked out of the campsite. I almost broke up with him for it, to be honest I cant remember what made me change my mind but I am glad I did.

My worst date ever? It's a tie... but one has a happy ending.

First:
When I was in high school, I had been dating this girl for a year or so and my prom was coming up (she was a year younger) and naturally we were planning on going together. Well a month before hand I caught her cheating on me. Pretty spectacular breakup left me miserable... 2 weeks later I'm about to call a close female friend to ask her to step in so I don't waste all the money. Right as I'm about to call her, my ex-girlfriend calls, apologizes and wants to work things out, and wants to go with me still to try again. I (naively) agree and we go.

Well long story short, the moment we arrived she got a really smug look on her face, said I was gullible and thanked me for paying for her night, before walking over and putting her arm around the guy she cheated on me with. I was absolutely crushed, and my friends immediately rushed over to do damage control but the night was pretty much a bust. Worst part was her new date bummed a ride with friends, so she had to come back home with me too. Looooooooong limo ride.

Next date, fast forward a few months, I was going out with that close female friend I should have taken to Prom from the above story. She and I get along great as friends but we're absolutely terrified of dating, but we try anyway. I took her a water park, and she is a very beautiful, but very very self conscious person, and when she changed in to her bathing suit I couldn't stop looking at first. It got very awkward very fast because I'm a moron and I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. Also, at the park entrance we had a problem because I couldn't find the money I took out of the ATM for our date and we had an embarrassing stint at the ticket counter for 15 minutes. So first thing we do is get in the lazy river, we're floating along having a good time talking and joking and I think this date can be salvaged. The water was very cold, which did help me keep my eyes off her bathing suit but also, problematic. I have a condition called vasovagal syncope, and my trigger is cold water. When I get in very cold water, my heart rate just plummets and I faint. Normally it's not very sensitive and today had started off really hot so I thought I'd be fine. I guess I was wrong, halfway through our date I ended up in an ambulance going to the ER. Worst part was, I had to leave her behind because she wasn't family, so I called my parents and best friend. My friend picked her up and took her to the hospital and my parents met us there. So very very embarrassing. I thought she'd never want to see me again, this was back in 2006.

Last August we took our first vacation as a couple to WDW and she teased me about the water parks the whole time

My senior year of high school a guy invited me out and took me to a video arcade to watch him play Mortal Combat. Aaaaaaack.

My junior year of college a guy asked me out to dinner. He came and picked me up, and he had a weird look on his face and wouldn't stop staring at me with what can best be described as "googley-eyes." This went on for the whole dinner. He could hardly speak, he just stared with the googley-eyes. It went from being flattering (oh, he thinks I'm pretty!) to a little annoying, to downright weird, to "maybe this guy is a serial killer, get me out of here!!!" defcon 5 creepy! It was so bizarre, I'll never forget it. I didn't go out with that one again!

 

[ginna74]

the date that I remember as the worst and most embarassing is when I had my first "KISS" . I didn't know what I was doing and OMG it was bad...... I always cringe when I remember that... ALWAYS

 

[Robinrs]

Not the WORST by any means, but one that sticks out in my mind from many years back....

The gentleman (he really was a gentleman) who told me we would go out for a nice dinner. I expected a more upscale table service restaurant and dressed appropriately in a casual, but nice dress.

We went to Arby's....and he used coupons.

 

[Robinrs]

I've had SOOOO MANY!!!

This one sticks in my mind because I'm so NOT proud of the way I handled it. I was about 24 so I'll blame it on that!

I had a friend who had the SEXIEST boyfriend. She told me he had a friend who wanted to meet me. We were going to the Nassau Colisseum for some sports thing.

We met at Grand Central Station. I saw my friend, her sexy boyfriend and the TALLEST, MOST UNATTRACTIVE CREATURE (picture the ALIEN from James Cameron's movie) standing next to her. He had an attitude all over his face and he was hideous.

With a straight face she introduces him to me.... I was ready to KILL her ... and he opened his mouth to say hello... and he had a HIGH PITCHED woman's voice!!!!

And he REEKED of alcohol and cologne. He was getting less attractive by the second. ALL of my senses from my eyes my ears to my nose were being ASSAULTED.

I figure I can handle just about anything when he pitches a hissy fit about the train schedule. His high pitched voice attracted a LOT of attention. He just about had a tantrum about missing the first part of whatever we were going to.... ugh...

I excused myself to go to the bathroom while we were waiting for the next train.... AND NEVER CAME BACK!

Yes, I took off. I had to explain it to my friend later but she really did not blame me...

Oh I have three - I got married pretty young (23) so you wouldn't think I could have managed THAT many bad dates, but I seemed to attract weirdos.

1. My very first real date we were 16 and went to the movies. The guy bought us candy to share, and he had it in his lap so I kept having to reach over and take it. Well, about half an hour into the movie I reach over to get the candy...and instead put my hand on something that should NOT have been exposed in a movie theatre!!! I sort of scream and turn to look at him and he just winks at me!!! I got out to there SO FAST!!!

2. A date in college took me to a restaurant - when the food arrived, they'd gotten his order wrong...and he CRIED! It turns out he'd been through a rough break up just days before and I guess bringing him a salad instead of a steak was just the final straw! He sobbed for like, 30 minutes!

3. I was on a first date with a guy second year of college, and on the way to the restaurant in his car, he got rear ended. We spent a while trading insurance information then he wanted to drive back to his parents house to get his dad's car instead. So we drive to his parents house, and his dad wants to check out his car - so I sit in his living room with his mom. For an HOUR! Then we go to the restaurant, and everything is OK - but no real sparks. He drops me home and asks if we can go out again - I say I think we should just be friends and his response is "oh well OK then. But could we still sleep together?!" Um, no thank you!

Yes, there is a new "old" forum feature that has returned: at the bottom of threads is a list of "similar" threads that people can click on and post to. I've seen a few threads dating back from 2004 listed. Those original posters aren't even members any more. Some of them went *Poof!* during the Banning War.

Interesting, we should be getting some very intriguing posts in the near future...
