Worst First Date Ever

[ZephyrHawk]

I didn't date much and don't have anything like these stories, but there was the one school dance when I was in high shcool. It was a charity auction where you could bid on a person to be your date. Both me and my best friend participated. I bid on a guy I was really sweet on. He was a senior, not particularly attractive, but cerebral. Just the kind of guy I liked. And we were friends because we were both in drama club. The problem was, he liked my best friend (who was a junior). He thought she had been the one who bid on him (it was a secret ballot type thing). When he found out that I, a lowly freshman, had won him and she had gotten her crush (the school's basketball star), he was...disappointed. Then, of course, we ended up making it a double date, which resulted in him trying to monopolize my best friend for most of the evening and basically ignoring me.

Not so bad, and we were still friends after all was said and done. Years later he ended up working in the same office as my DH (then fiance). My DH asked him if he remembered me. The guy said yeah, I had been a nice girl, but way too young for him. Then he asked how my DH knew me. When my DH told him, he said, shocked, "That's your fiance?!?!" Yes, my old friend, even freshmen dorks can grow up into attractive professional young women.

Not me but my sis....

Got a call from a guy in her college class. Thought it was this nice looking guy. He gets to our house and it is not who she thought it was. Think Revenge of the Nerd type nerd. It was cold out and he had on Elmer Fudd hat (this was in 80's before people thought they were cool) and pants tucked into boots. It was a very short date for her...went to dinner and then she had him bring her home. I had a good laugh because it wasn't me on it!

He was a nice guy but not her type....

I was 18 at the time and MySpace was really big. I met this guy from there who was a few years older and we started with talking on the phone for awhile. He seemed pretty normal, as far as you can tell on the phone anyway. We decide to meet up for coffee at my local Starbucks.

He shows up wearing a dirty tee shirt with holes in it, with an 80s style sweater vest on top. He looks nothing like his photo and foams a little in the sides of his mouth when he talks. And when he starts talking.. It just gets worse. He proceeds to tell me every horrible thing that's ever happened to him in his life. His mother committed suicide, he was hit by a bus, bit by a snack, stabbed and shot. And he still had the bullet in his chest, do I want to feel it? Are you really sure you don't want to feel it?! I made some lame excuse to get out of there and when we were saying goodbye I thought he was attempting to give me a kiss on the cheek and I wasn't sure how to rebuff it so I leaned in for it but he got me right on the lips. Ugh.

We never spoke again.

You mean bit by a snake right?

I have a first date tonight. I hope I don't have a story to contribute later.

Best of luck!! I expect a post if you have a story. LOL

The one that comes to mind for me, I was a Sophomore in High School, this guy who was a Junior (and really cute) asked me out, I said yes. He comes and picks me up and his best friend and his date are in the car, no big deal. We drive up into the mountains and find a place to park, well my date and the best friends date start drinking, I had some of a wine cooler but not much, turned out my date heard a rumor that I'd "put out" so he thought he'd get me drunk and take advantage, well the rumor was wrong so he got mad, took his joint, the alcohol and his best friends date and went "for a walk", where he got what he wanted. His best friend and I spent the hour or whatever talking and became good friends, when my "date" came back and we left I rode in the back seat with my new friend, to make the other mad he and I had agreed to cuddle all the way back, so we did. And yes, they got mad. Which we didn't really understand because we were the ones who got shafted. But I came out of it with a good life lesson and a good friend as well so the 2 of us felt it worked out better. LOL And yes, the friend I made ended up ditching the guy who was supposed to be his best friend and no, he didn't date that girl ever again either. LOL

A first date on VALENTINE'S Day? No pressure.

Well, my best friend was dating a guy and they hooked me up with his best friend. We all went on a double date to a bar/club. End of the night, I see him walking really fast towards the door, then he was stopped and escorted somewhere.... I then spent the next hour getting questioned by a police officer. My lovely date got arrested for using a fake credit card and watched as they put him in a cop car. What fun I had THAT night... My friend didn't date the other guy for long after that...

A couple come to mind (although pretty plain compared to some of these so far):

I was 15 and had a blind date with a friend of my best friend's boyfriend. I don't remember anything about the date except the end. He drove out to where they were preparing to develop a new subdivision and parked and was all over me. I yelled at him to stop and told him to take me home.

At first he refused, but then I told him that if he didn't take me home right then, I would show up at his daddy's church and tell everybody I could find how the preacher's son behaved. He was mad, but he took me home. And then proceeded to call me over and over and over to try to get me to go out with him again. Not hardly.


The other date I was about 18 and visiting my cousin and her husband. They were going to fix me up with his best friend for a movie. My first clue was when I found out that my cousin had mentioned it to the guy in front of her husband before I got there. Her husband had immediately said that it wasn't a good idea. The guy started asking what was wrong with me. The husband told him that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that he didn't think the friend was my type.

We all went anyway. I figured out very quickly that he really wasn't my type, but I was nice to him and wanted to have a good time. It was a drive in movie (this was a LONG time ago), and at the intermission they drew tickets to give away money (you kept half of the ticket when you went in). My ticket was one of the ones they called, and I won $10. The guy kept looking at me funny so I finally asked if something was wrong. He said, "Well, I'm the one who paid for the tickets." So I gave him his $10. I thought my cousin's husband was going to choke him. (ETA: I would have contributed it to the bill when we went for hamburgers later but didn't get that chance.)

Thanks everyone for the luck! I went to school with this guy ages ago and we recently started talking on FB. The date tonight was intentional to get rid of the pressure, if that makes any sense. He'll be here in an hour and I'm getting nervous!

Just have fun and relax. It's an old friend and you will have lots to talk about!

Yes! LOL Oops!

No story to report : )

I don't know about that. About 10 years ago, a female relative of mine divorced. Somehow she got in touch with a male HS class she had been friends with who was also recently divorced. Keep in mind, we went to a small school and the boys were more like our brothers than anything else. There had never been anything REMOTELy romantic between them.

So they met for dinner and chatted. She said she had a nice time catching up. And then......he basically asked her whether she wanted to go to his place or hers to have sex. He seemed genuinely surprised when she said, "Neither. I am leaving."

Oh you'll have to do better than that, what happened, nosy minds want to know

LOL I didn't want to hijack the thread with a good story

It was a shortish date because he works nights and had to fit in a nap before he worked. I made dinner and then we just talked and caught up. I was nervous and I guess it showed because he said relax, you aren't being graded on dinner. That helped a lot. After dinner we sat around and talked for a few hours. There were a few awkward silences at first, but that went away. We didn't kiss when he left but had a really nice hug. I am 5'7 and he is 6'7 so I was engulfed by his arms. It felt nice and we are already working on plans to get together again.

 

[TheAviator]

Well that's a lot better than him insisting you go to one of his cult meetings

 

[marthachick]

Mine seems kind of tame compared to a lot of these.

I was probably 16 or 17. I met this guy (whose name I can't even remember, lol) while I was out with another guy and he was out with another girl. I later broke up with my BF & he broke up with his GF. My sister was dating his friend. So, he asked if I wanted to double date with DSis & her BF. Said we'd go to the movies & get something to eat. Well, the guys got to our house a little late so we went to the movies. I thought, well, we'll go eat afterwards. After the movie, DSis & her BF started talking about where to go eat. This guy looked at me & said "you mean you didn't eat first?" I thought, "Um, No, you said movie & something to eat." So, he grudgingly bought us a pizza. lol He had already asked me to go out with him to a work thing the next weekend. When he got to the house, I had on jeans & a cute top. He apparently didn't think I was dressed up enough. He looked at my jeans & said, "are you wearing that???" I changed to dress pants & we went. I did get a really good steak out of that date since his workplace was paying. LOL. But I never went out with him again. Kept finding reasons to not go out til he lost interest. I was a lot nicer then than I am now. Now, I'd just tell him to take me home early & I'd fix my own food. And if my jeans weren't nice enough, I'd just go out by myself. LOL Thank God he was a jerk or I woudn't have met DH! He's my Prince Charming.

With V-day being this week, it got me thinking.....I would love to hear about some people's worst first date. This was mine: I was about 16. I met this guy who was a lil older than me thru a friend. When he picked me up, his car broke down in my driveway. He had a friend with him and they fiddled with it, added liquids and stuff to get it running. As we driving to this park for some kind of reunion I noticed he seemed a lil tipsy. At the park, an old girlfriend of his was there heckling us and calling me names. I barely knew "my date" and no one at this place. He is drinking the whole time we are there. We head out with his friend who was still with us and he runs into a side of the bridge and blows a tire. He doesn't have a spare and we have to walk about 4 miles to his house. At his house, he apologizes to me and leans in to kiss me, belches, stands up and vomits everywhere, all the way to the bathroom. At this time, I decide to start walking somewhere, anywhere but there. Maybe find a payphone to call my Mom to pick me up. His friend finds me and convinces me to come back and he will take me home. My "date" sitting next to me the whole ride home (about 30 min.) and me with my face plastered to the window. I could not get out of that car fast enough!!!

Holy cow that is a bad first date!

 

[arminnie]

I was someone's worst date a zillion years ago.

When I was in high school this guy from a local college started asking out all of the cheerleaders, etc. He had never met a one of us but decided that he wanted to ask out a cute, popular girl - didn't matter which one.

He called me many times. I finally decided that I would go out with him, but that I would teach him a lesson.

I normally wore contacts but drug out a pair of UGLY glasses from middle school. I wore my normal beautiful long hair all pulled back in a bun, wore no makeup and an old frumpy dress.

I looked awful. He was shocked when he saw me. At first I was afraid that I would see people I knew but when we went to the movies not one person recognized me as I looked so bad.

I never heard from him again.

 

[shortbun]

JAWS! I was so freaked out, I never talked to the guy again. He tried to apologize; they told him I'd cling to him, lol! I ran out of the theatre and didn't care where he was. Called for a ride home.
