The worst date you had ever been on

[Gumbo4x4]

I've had several. One time I was set up with a girl, we talked on the phone, agreed to go out, I picked her up, we went to dinner, watched a movie, everything seemed fine. Until I went to drop her off and she asked that I drop her at the corner so her husband wouldn't catch us.

Another time I got set up with a girl that turned out to be a close friends ex-wife. That was an awkward evening since we carpooled with the couple setting us up.

Another I often tell people about is when I was about 23, I met a girl, she was about 25. We agreed to meet and go to a concert. We decide to meet at a local Walmart and ride together since the concert was in a different city, well she never said her mom would be joining us, but on the positive side of things, her mom did buy me dinner and a beer. So maybe not the worst just different.

I dated a gal a couple times who called to tell me we couldn't see each other for a while because her ex was in town & had nowhere to stay except with her. Oh, and BTW she and the ex weren't really exes at all, just separated. Ugh.

OMG!!! I'm going with this is the worst date, the doll collector is second, & need for the bathroom "assistant" is 3rd. I started laughing so hard! You could've been his next dinner!

Agree on 1 & 2, would bump bathroom assistant to 4th and insert 4:00 am "on my schedule", not-so-divorced cop into 3rd.


Yikes!

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Believe me it's not just men.

Yup, BTDT - fortunately not on an actual date. #1 for me was the random stranger who asked me to dance and then COMPLETELY lost her mind when I declined the dance & offered to buy her & her friends a round of drinks instead.

Preacher's son fixed me up with a friend of his and I thought it was a fabulous date. The guy had a brand new convertible which he let me drive (I was only 15 and no driver's ed yet) so I was on top of the moon. On top of the moon until he asked me to pull into a restaurant parking lot so he could go in and speak with his WIFE!!!!!

Hmm... not the worst but definitely awkward. I was set up by a friend (yeah, I know...) and we agreed to meet for dinner. We meet and I'm not really attracted to him, but I thought maybe the conversation will be fine, as we did have similar interests. Things started to get weird when he didn't order *anything* to eat or drink. Then he starts talking about his dolls. Apparently he collected these Japanese dolls that he named, made clothes for and posed around his room for photo shoots... and yes, Of course I asked to see the photos. When the bill came he offered to pay, but I told him he hadn't ordered a thing and that I'd prefer to pay for myself. I could tell that he was definitely more interested in me than I was in him, but he wasn't getting the hints I was dropping about calling it a night. I ended up making some excuse about being needed somewhere and we parted ways. Afterwards I ended up walking around a bookstore telling my best friend about what had just happened and guess who I ran into...

YUP.

Ok, I'm going to be brave and be honest..... I don't get what's wrong with this one. I would be all over a guy that collects dolls! Sewing clothes, making displays and doing photo shoots... I do that with my dolls. It may not be what society considers "normal", but there's nothing WRONG with it.

Collecting is one thing... and even making the clothes - ok fine - too each his own, but to POSE them around your home and have a photo shoot? ehhhhhhh
I have an obscenely large collection of cast recordings. I don't put on the cast album of Dreamgirls every night, lip-sync and pretend I'm Effie.

You're right though; there's nothing wrong with it. I just find it odd and it wouldn't be something that I could ever share his enthusiasm for. Had he been a personable, engaging hunk-of-a-man (or even adorkable)... well, no... not even then.

It's the same as when I express my love for things Disney... to some guys I might as well have a doll collection.

My worst date was my junior prom, and it wasn't my date's fault. A week before prom a close friend was invited by a boy she barely knew. She agreed to go and asked if we could all go together. I said sure. She then went out and bought the exact same dress I was wearing except in a different color. She got in a fight with the boy after about 45 minutes and ended up being the third wheel with me and my date throughout the rest of the evening.

I had somewhat similar. Our senior ball (prom), I didn't have a bf at the time so asked a friend who was named the most popular boy of the year (woo hoo). I think I was the only person who didn't realize he was gay. Anyway, my friend had asked this one guy that I did not know but she had him in a class. He said ok and gave her directions, told her what color tux he was wearing, etc. My guy friend, my friend and myself went to pick her guy up and no one was home, She tried calling, we drove around, went back and nothing. I think we found out later it was all a joke to him. Anyway, my guy friend bought not only my dinner but my friend's dinner even though she told him she had money.

My worst date was an internet meet/greet at Burger King next to my work because the guys I worked with wanted me close just in case. The guy's teeth were so brown, I couldn't look at anything else LOL I stayed awhile, told him I wasn't hungry and left. High school I was dating my best friend's brother (never do that), we double dated with my best friend and her guy friend who happened to be friends with my guy. This guy had a purple and lime green station wagon with "wood" trim, part of which was ripped off and the best part was, he had no reverse. We were limited where we could go because we had to pull forward so as not to back up. We went bowling. My best friend and I bowled while the two guys were flirting with the waitresses in the cafe (which we could see). We both must not have cared because we were happy bowling and eating greasy bowling alley french fries. They couldn't have meant that much to us.

I've had this tune in my head after reading the first two words of the post reply.

Thank you.

It's just when people say that a guy that collects dolls is worse than a guy that eats human flesh... that REALLY rubs me the wrong way.

...a police officer had been dispatched to our store. It was valentines day, he was super cute, so I took a chance and asked him to dinner. ....

We had a great dinner up until he asked me point blank what my annual income was. I told him, and his exact response was: "well, you'll have to quit. You won't make more than me." (Danger Will Robinson, Danger!)
....

Two days later, at 4 am, my phone rang. It was him - he had just gotten off work, and demanded, not asked, that I meet for breakfast. I explained I had to at work at 8 and wasn't interested. The response was an unbelievable barrage of yelling, hanging up and text messages about how I would be available on his schedule, not mine.

I blocked his number and felt my pulse race every time a cop car went down my street for the next few years.

Augh, so relatively similar!

I was in grad school and a friend suggested I go out with a new friend of her husband's. So I did. He was a very young police officer. We lived in the same apartment complex (all of us). He came over to pick me up, sat down and commented about how smart I must be because of all my books. (half of which were mysteries and it was the early 90s so some of the others were new agey things...nothing overly intellectual...school books were at my desk) Acted like intelligence was a bad thing. Um, OK?

We went to dinner then ice cream then he wanted to drive me to where his family *used to live*. We were parked at the top of the rural driveway (borderline trespassing) of where his family no longer lived, as he told me stories...um...OK?

Went back to the apartment complex and he insisted I come up to his place. Trying to go along and be pleasant, I did, mainly b/c his roommate was there. This was true. Roomie was arguing with his girlfriend. Fun. Date wants to show me his service revolver (why do men think showing off their weapons is so awesome? why?)...all this did was make me think "this 21 year old has a gun and I barely know him". I'm really not into guns and the whole evening had just been odd.

I finally left, telling him the truth, that my mornings started early and I had to get to bed. I refuse a walk home. I walk briskly and with purpose and lock my doors and windows.

15 minutes later, I'd brushed teeth, got things ready for the morning, got into bed...my phone rings. I got up (no cellphone), answered it. Immediately..."I thought you said you were going to bed? Why did you lie?" etc etc etc.

Aughhhhh.

The next morning I told off my friend and told EVERYONE his name and what unit he worked with, just in case.

A week later I got pulled over. Now...I was indeed speeding, and this was the highway patrol not a local cop, but it was an odd coincidence....

I have two, both kind of similar, just a few months apart, but two different guys. I was all of 16 and my friend set me up with a "cool guy" who had a car with T-tops LOL. We went to the movies, all went well. But afterwards he says, let's go for a drive. We lived about 30 minutes from the beach, and I at some point I realize he's trying to take me there. It's about 11pm so I of course panic because duh the beaches are closed after dark so I know what he's getting at. Well, he makes an illegal uturn at some point and gets pulled over (after trying to elude the police at first). He gets a handful of tickets which he then proceeds to ask me to help pay for. I tell him "oh sure" and that I have money at home. I run into the house when he drops me off and send my dad out to deal with him. Never heard form him again.

Second nightmare date - it's winter. My date has a very beat up car and we end up getting a flat tire. It's lightly snowing. He gets out to change the tire but is having so much trouble that a passerby stops to help. Then the cops pull up. I see a look of panic wash over my date's face. He gets in the car and says some swear words and "my license is suspended, can you say you were driving". We got the tire changed, and the cop never asked for his license, but never saw that guy again either.

I went to dinner with someone once. He cooked chicken kiev and chips ok so far but he counted 11 chips each and measured them only chips exactly 2.5 inches where cooked it was odd.

On second thought, after saying that it took catastrophes like plagues of boils, fast zombies and sparkly vampires to even come close to qualifying as a bad date, I recall a date that WAS a disaster. We were both in college at different schools, and had been dating for several years, but she had previously informed me that I was no longer "No. 1". This was, however, a formal affair/date that had been arranged prior to that dismal announcement, and a significant amount (for 1972) had been spent, so she said that the date was still very much on if I'd like that. In my youthful folly (I was only 21) I decided I'd like that very much, and began dreaming of a reinstatement as her one and only.

We'd had a nice evening. I looked great in my dress blues (ROTC senior), and she was second- third- and likely fourth-glance worthy in her EXCEEDINGLY well fitting dress that very much reminded everyone that she was a girl, and she proved not averse to a little recreational but still reasonably dignified tickling. We were actively snuggling in the car on the way home -- at a red light, 's cool -- when she announced that she felt guilty for being there at all. (Congratulations, my dear, you've now torn my heart out and stomped that sucker flat -- twice!) I suppose I set myself up for it, but geeze -- she could have just kept quiet about it until I got her back home, or not been so darned cuddly. Oh, well. It probably wouldn't have worked out anyway, and now we're Facebook friends.

I think you may have clicked the wrong thread.

Unless of course you were on a date when you ate at chef mickeys.

That's what happens when you try and post using a tablet while watching the Ohio State Buckeyes at the same time. I was wondering where that post went and now I know. LOL

Ok, I was college aged, maybe 20 or so. Long long time ago, way before cel phones. Details are sketchy, but met a guy new to town, a doctor. That part was true. We went to dinner or something, he invited me to his place so he could play some songs for me. Yes, I was naive. Once there, he locked the apartment from the inside and hid the key. I remember him playing the guitar in his underwear and me talking to him all night, trying to remain calm. He finally took me home the next morning. Needless to say, I didn't go out with him again. Though he did harass me for a while. Also long before "stalker" was a thing.

This is scary stuff.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Mine pales in comparison to these others and it was a very long time ago.

Mine was... OK I will admit I met somebody on personal ads.

We met and upon meeting him, he was something akin to one of those guys from a Revenge of the Nerds movie. Yes I am a nerd, but this guy was on another level. We went to the movies (it was actually a Disney movie lol), and we went to eat. The whole time he would NOT shut up about basketball, high school basketball. It seemed almost as if he had some weird man-crush on one of the players. His old high school team had just won an important game and was like going to another level, so we ended up going to a pep-rally at his old high school that night. We were 25-ish.

Of course somewhere along in there he brought up the "let's do this again" idea and I was like, we will have to see. I didn't want to be rude and reject him right then and there. It was like OK, bad date time to move on and forget it. Unfortunately it did not end that easily, he called asking for a second date, I was like "can't really do that right now". He calls back and asks again, I was like "I am just not really in a position to date anymore, thought I was but I am not" I thought he would take the hint. He called again and asked me out a few days later. I was like, no just not happening. So I just started ignoring his calls. This was back in the day when there was caller ID. It would hold the 25 most recent calls. I would get home and all 25 numbers were his in the history. One day, phone rang...different number, but from his town, yep it was him. "Hey you wanna do something this weekend"? It's like OMG, I changed my phone number. Back in the day this was not a cheap thing to do. It ended up costing me like over $100, but worth every penny.

Fast forward a couple years. I was with somebody else, and we were at Walmart of all places. Just walking along and OMG who did I see?? Yep it was him. I am not one to overuse the word literally, but I literally took off running and hid from him. Childish, but effective.
