The worst date you had ever been on

[StitchesGr8Fan]

Mine was a guy I met through a mutual friend. We had seen each other at events a few times. We went to dinner and a mall about an hour from home (a destination mall). It started at dinner when he was telling me about his aspirations to be president some day. He had me turn my head so he could check my profile. My nose apparently met his criteria. He went on to tell me that I was pretty enough to be his First Lady, and that our kids would be good looking enough to befit a president. His biggest compliment was that I was smart enough to not say something stupid to the press and make him look bad. I got very distant and he agreed to take me home. The icing on the cake was that in the car he said he didn't want to take me home because he knew I would never go out with him again. Um, yeah!

This date taught me a very valuable lesson.... always make sure that you can see teeth in profile pictures. After my divorce I tried online dating and this guy seemed ok, he had several pictures of himself on his profile but none of them with big smiles which I didn't think was so odd because a lot of men don't smile in pictures in general but when we finally met (at Zaxby's for lunch no less, no idea why I even agreed to that) I realized he was shorter than I am, which I could deal with and had crazy longish unkempt hair but then he started talking and I almost gagged. He had terrible teeth to the point I can only describe it as "meth mouth", most of his front teeth were missing and the ones still there were jagged and rotten, and the entire time we are eating that's all I could focus on, needless to say I didn't eat much of my food. I politely declined a second date and wished him well.

First date with a guy who was a "friend of a friend". He threw up at the table, at dinner, no gagging, no signs that he was going to throw up...it just happened. He then said he "can't eat around pretty girls" and took me home. I felt kind of bad, but was also grossed out.

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!!!!!

NO.

I don't think it was actually a date. I was "seeing" this guy I had met. He seemed normal. Turns out he had mass anger issues. We were at his place watching a movie, he then tells me that rape is an acceptable form of sex because at least he was getting some. Yeah what ever we were was very quickly over.

Were you alone?

The first time I read this post I thought you went to a movie. That you were in a movie theater. And that was bad enough.

When I skimmed by it a second time I saw you were actually at his house. I'd be both enraged and scared for my safety at the same time. I think I'd rather have a guy tell me he collects and poses dolls or that his driver's license was suspended than to have him say that to me.

Thankfully he lived with his grandparents, we were both barely legal, and I left not long after he told me that. I broke up with him over the phone about 2 days later. Yeah that was scary.

Haha! I had a date almost exactly this during the fall semester of my freshman year in college!

This guy was a year ahead of me & was on the student council at our college. We ended up sitting next to each other at some extra credit event (some kind of play or opera I think). Anyway, we got to talking, & he discovered that he & I were both very similar in our political leanings. And I guess because we really only had time to talk during intermission & after the event, there was more back & forth dialogue between us... I don't know.

Anyway, a couple of weeks later, he asked me out. And it was also at a restaurant at a "destination" type mall. LOL!

And, no joke, for the ENTIRE dinner, he proceeded to talk politics & religion & family views (how many kids did I want, did I want to be a stay-at-home mom, etc.). He had political aspirations & planned to be a big star in Washington, D.C. I felt like he was vetting me for the position of his First Lady.

I was sitting at dinner, listening to him drone on & on, & picturing our lives together w/ me as his dutiful political wife.

I mean, I like politics as much as the next person, & we were very similar in what we believed... but, seriously, the whole time I was w/ him, it was politics & absolutely nothing else.

For example, we were walking in the parking lot of the restaurant back to his car, and he saw something that reminded him of Reagan. I don't even remember what it was... but I can't think of any other time I've been walking in a parking lot & suddenly thought "Reagan!" But EVERYTHING led back to politics.

Anyway, apparently I passed his test because when he brought me home, he asked me for another date... Which would have been me going Christmas shopping w/ his mom & then his mom & I meeting him & his dad for dinner. I guess so I could pass their test too? 2nd date, & he wants me to go Christmas shopping by myself w/ his mom?

I politely declined.

And the guy did end up serving as a local state representative for several years.

I have a number of horrible date stories, but this is my worst in terms of the most bizarre. It was a blind double date that one of my guy friends set me up on, sometime between high school and college, so maybe 1991ish. We'd just finished dinner and we were all chatting about music and movies, and out of the blue the guy says, "well I guess Matt told you I just got out of [the local psychiatric hospital.]" Why no, no he didn't. "They made me go there because I said I was a vampire. Actually, I still am one, but I had to use mind control to make them think I'm cured."

At first I thought he was yanking my chain, and they were pranking me, but I cornered my friend when the guy went to use the restroom and said, "wth, man?" He said, "well he needs to get out more and I thought you would be sympathetic." Um, ok. Not feeling real warm and fuzzy about a guy who has honest-to-God delusions about vampirism. I later found out the poor guy had all kinds of mental health issues, so no offense meant here, but I spent the whole night paranoid that he was going to attack me.

With friends setting you up like that, who needs enemies?

Strangest form of flattery EVER.
