Jersey Shortie Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I was reliving some bad first dates this weekend while spring cleaning, rifting through old Christmas decorations and clothes. One of the worst dates I ever had was from a guy that approached me in my gym. Blond hair, blue eyed, sunny personality. Within 20 mins of our date he was telling me all his life problems and issues, all the reasons why I shouldn't date him. From telling me the longest relationship he ever had was 3 months and he was kicked out of the Navy for defacing Navy property. I mean seriously, we all make mistakes and have issues but you don't share those on the first date. I just told him that I was flattered he asked but it wasn't going to work. 2nd worst date was just this year with this guy I that I was heading into NYC to see him sing and play his guitar. He wasn't my ususal type which is exactly why I wanted to give him a chance. Kind of breaking out of my box thing. So I go into the city and the train breaks down. It takes me an additional two hours before I am able to get to the place he is singing at. I finally get there and he was cool about it. He didn't look 100% like his picture but I don't think that was his fault. He asks me if I want coffee or a drink and I totally did. But he doesn't pay for the coffee. Negative points for that. I made the big trip to come see him in the city on the night of his show and spent the money to get there and he didn't even offer to buy me a cup of coffee. So I hear him sing, and he was okay. Conversation was okay. Not bad not exciting. He kept talking to his friends though and wasn't really including me on the converation, lacking in the social skills. At least from what I am use to. The topping on the cake was when his tacky female band manager was asking for tips at the end of his set and had the gaul to ask me for a tip. I stared at her directly in the eyes and said "you're kidding right. I think I spent enough money and I am his guest". He wasn't there when she asked me but I was just so put off and I think she was suprised I said no because she was a bit pushy. The fact that he was telling me earlier what good friends they were kind of left me with a bad impression of him as well. The whole night wasn't his fault and he wasn't a bad guy but the combination of events and the fact that he couldn't even buy a coffee for me and his social skills where lacking and his friend...all together it was all off putting. I was just so happy to go home that night. I would have had more fun cleaning out my basement. The absolute worst date was when I first started seriously dating and I was pretty naive. First date and the guy asks me if I want to go to a motel. Here is an educated guy, clean cut looking guy and he was a total scuzz ball. That one took me for a loop. Took me a long time to go out on another date after that one. So share some of your worst dates ever!
RobM Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 It's been a while since I've dated but I have to say my prom was maybe the worst. Double dated with my best friend. My longtime gf had just dumped me a couple weeks before but since we were supposed to go ( and I was still in love with her) she still went with me. It was a little tense most of the night since my buddies date kept flirting with me, then we dropped her off and me, him, and my ex when to his house and got kinda drunk. I woke up an hour later to find my best friend and my ex half dressed and making out.
Woggle Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I once ended up on a date with a Nazi who gave me a lacture on why I was a race traitor.
D-Lish Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I went on a first date with a guy I met online and he was freely lifting his leg and farting. He would tip to the side a little, squint his eye, and let them go. He tried to impress me with stories of the burning man festivals he attended where he didn't shower for a week.
Els Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Wow, mine sounds boring in comparison. To begin with, I thought I had made it VERY clear by telling the guy point blank that 'we're just hanging out as friends, yeah?' and that he'd accepted it. Well, apparently not. He tried to talk with me through the ENTIRE movie, and his breath stank. Really bad. Not only that, but his whole body (or maybe his clothes?) stank too. The way he was leaning close didn't help. I swear, if we didn't have so many mutual friends I would've ran 10 minutes into the movie.
threebyfate Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Worst date ever was with a back-up quarterback, in my school days. Blond-haired, blue-eyed, gorgeous, buff, sound good yet? We went for dinner at this Dutch pancake restaurant, where I sat and watched him shovel copious amounts of food into this mouth, listening to him blather on and on about stupid locker room stories. It was like watching a train wreck since he chewed with his mouth open, talking mindlessly away, more and more food, going in and in and in. Then, we went to the dumbest guy comedy, can't even remember what it was about, but it was stupid. He killed himself laughing, all the while becoming a human octopus, arms and hands everywhere. Imagine a kung-fu scene, where one sparring partner is continuously blocking and deflecting blows, at every angle. If I could have, I would have given him a roundhouse kick! This truly was the date from hell and traumatized me to dumb jocks for the rest of my life.
Author Jersey Shortie Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 I have to admit, I am glad other people have bad date experieces. Makes me feel better about mine!

I can see how the burning man stories would have gotten old.
JustJoe Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I once dated a girl and took her to a very nice restaurant. As we were walking through the door another customer was coming out. I had opened the door for my date, so she was ahead of me and collided with the man coming out. They hit head on, and my date broke a tooth. Date over.
crfsti Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 These don't really count as dates, but the worst and last two dates I have been on were blind dates, where both times the girls never showed up

In the movie with this guy he grabs my hand his is sweaty I say I don't like holding hands, sorry 20 minutes later? Holding BOTH of my hands? HOW?? I don't know. :(
Johnny M Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I once ended up on a date with a Nazi who gave me a lacture on why I was a race traitor. Out of curiosity, was that comment in reference to your ex (the one who's going to jail for armed robbery)?
mrt336 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I thought it would be fun to sneak into a park around midnight with a thermos of hot chocolate. This was this January actually, pretty cold. A lot colder than I expected. The girl I was with had been this particular park a few times when she was young and remembered lots of stuff about it. So we find a gap in the fence and go through, it turns out there was construction equipment everywhere, the park wasn't even open during the daytime due to the construction there were doing. Nothing was where she remembered it, we walked right past a dead, semi frozen duck, twice. And she wouldn't even drink the hot chocolate because she had mono a couples weeks prior and her doctor said she could be contagious for up to the month after she felt better. The only cool part was breaking into the bulldozer and sitting in the cab.

This truly was the date from hell and traumatized me to dumb jocks for the rest of my life. He must have dyed his hair and taken me to a Van Damme movie shortly there after. I would hope there wasn't two of them. He was gorgeous but I was fleeing for home before 10:30 that Friday night! "Naw, I ain't into reading much."
Woggle Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Out of curiosity, was that comment in reference to your ex (the one who's going to jail for armed robbery)? No. I met her at a concert and I thought she just a punk girl and I like that type so I agreed to meet her for a date. I start telling about some of my favorite artists and I get a lecture about the jews and the blacks.
Leia Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 He kept scratching his crotch. Talked way too much about himself. Chewed with his mouth open. Kept cutting in whenever I was talking to tell me what he would like to do to me in bed. Obviously, that was the first and the last date with Crotch-Scratcher.
JustJoe Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I also dated a woman who drank too much before our date and puked in my car. Real pretty girl, too. I took her home, and spent the rest of the evening at the carwash. Good times.!
LucreziaBorgia Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I got set up with a guy who was, at the time my 'type' (I liked the skater/bad boy sort) but apparently it wasn't meant to be. He came over to my place and sat on my couch and fidgeted. I scooted closer to him, and he sat there for a minute and then jumped up saying 'I'm sorry, but you intimidate the hell out of me and I just can't deal with this (I was a teacher at the time, and he was a former high school dropout who was a blue collar kind of guy, albeit a successful one). He left. A few minutes later I get a knock on my door, and it was him looking sheepish. His car had died and he asked me if I could give him a lift home. I looked at him, dumbfounded and he at me embarrassed-like and we both burst out laughing. I gave him the ride home, and we actually ended up being pretty good friends though we never dated or anything.
phineas Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 My sister set me up with one of her friends as my wedding date to my ex-roomates wedding. Actually I asked her & she said she would let me know. I didn't hear from her for weeks so I was going to go with my friends SIL. Then a few days before the wedding my sisters friend called out of the blue & solidified plans for the wedding. Now i'm stuck. If I blow off my original date i risk irking the ire of the largest network of single dateable women I know. So I canceled on my friends SIL because I had asked the one girl first. bad move I later found out. So my date said she'd drive so I could drink. She showed up early. I had literally just gotten home from a company golf tournament in canada & the border was a nightmare. I had everything but my tie on when I answered the door. She was smoking hot. So I thought "allright" Then she came in & inspected my apartment. It was spotless by the way. so I passed THAT test. She commented that I needed a tie & said she didn't see a card. We were in the car & on the way & I had forgotten my camera so she commented on how I was forgetful when rushed. We got to the reception & immediatly she complained she was cold. She didn't want to drink & told me she doesn't like to dance. Then why the hell would you accept an invite to a wedding when all people do is dance? Oh, and she spent most of the night disapearing into the bathroom. People thought she was doing drugs or something. At one point I thought I was going to snap if another person asked "where is your date?", "why arn't you dancing with your date?" Then to top it off one of my best friends who was just smashed points at the both of us & says "I hope i'm attending your wedding next" jeezus. That's when I gave up all hope of getting any play back at my place & started drinking because hey, I got a designated driver. One of the worst dates ever. Had I gone with my friends SIL I probably would of wound up dateing her because she secretly had a crush on me I found out later & got pissed because I went with the first girl I asked. Oh well.
DustySaltus Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I've said it here before but here's a brief synopsis. It's my first date since my broken engagement. I meet a girl on POF and decide that we will have lunch at the boathouse in central park, looking out on the lake. We've had great conversations on the phone and I was definetly going out of my way to try to make a good impression. She would meet me for lunch at 1pm. Now, it's 1:45 and her phone is going straight to voicemail. So I have lunch, by myself, staring at the swans in the lake with a bottle of wine to myself. A while later I get a call from her boyfriend threatening me....turns out she was lying the whole time. Good times.
USMCHokie Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I have actually never had a "bad" date. All my dates overflow with awesomeness. Please take note, ladies.
phineas Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I did have a date show up with a friend. Then THEY seemed agitated when I asked for seperate checks & only paid for myself. Got the hell outta there & never returned her calls about how "cheap" I was. WTF?!?! she brought a friend on a date & expected me to pay the whole tab? I don't think so.
silic0ntoad Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I meet this girl from POF for coffee. It's right down the block from where I work, so I show up early. She shows up, in a faded black tank top, no bra, and proceeds to tell me how she has been afraid to leave her house for the past two years, has an irrational fear of ketchup and mustard touching each other on the same plate, and lists all the different medications she is taking in order. Yeah, I split pretty early.
