pteromom Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I talked to a guy on an OLD site. He was more muscly than I liked, but I gave him a shot. We met and he talked about NOTHING but working out. Kept flexing his muscles. I ordered an Icee, and he looked me up and down and said "Do you really think you should be drinking that?" I made an excuse to leave shortly after that. I met a guy, and knew he didn't have much money. So we did a simple date at an inexpensive restaurant and split the bill. After dinner, we walked over to a music store. He picked up a CD and said "Oh man, I wish I had $12." He kept following me around with the CD, and finally I asked if he wanted me to buy it for him. He said "That would be great, thanks!" So I did, but I didn't go out with him again. I talked to a guy on an OLD site. He said he was 5'8", which is the same height as me. Normally I don't date shorter guys (no offense -it's about my own insecurities of feeling "big" - nothing to do with the guys), but I thought I'd give him a chance. He showed up and he was NOT 5'8". He literally came up to the base of my shoulders - about 5' tall. It was really awkward - why lie about something like that? None of these are as funny as some of yours though...
d'Arthez Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I am expecting that this sort-of-date I have coming up is gonna be awful. My friend decided he would take it upon himself to set me up with a friend of his. The guy is apparently sort of a nerd, but he's also really into sports (uh), and WAY outside my league looks-wise (ugh.) Also, apparently, my friend didn't even show the guy a picture of me before setting this up; the guy just "trusts" him. So this poor guy is showing up having NO idea what I look like. It's gonna be a humiliating, awful disaster, but my friend won't let me back out and "ruin" what he is so sure is a perfect match. Just try it. It may work out you know. But if you go to the date, expecting it to be a disaster, then you are setting yourself up for failure. There are men out there who are not obsessed by the looks of a woman - and you are not even ugly to begin with. And he may have some interests you don't share with him, but that does not necessarily render the two of you incompatible.
Author Necris Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Yikes! That's pretty bad! Nothing like that has ever happened to me, that the person goes bonkers and makes a scene like that. But, I would have to say my worst of the worst was an Internet date I had years ago. Back in the MySpace days, someone had contacted me through there, we exchanged a few emails and then decided to meet. First, he was nearly forty five minutes late, I had nearly given up that he was coming despite the fact that I called him twice and there was no answer. Second, he looked like he just literally rolled out of bed. I sat down, this was a serve yourself restaurant and I had gotten a little something. I asked what he was having, he said he wasn't eating he wasn't hungry. Over the course of the rather awkward meal, I asked what he did. He said he did nothing. He used to be the director of nursing at a nursing home but he was fired because he became addicted to drugs and stole from the home. I was flabergasted that this loser thought he had any sense of a chance with me or any woman. And then I realized he was high as a kite. He actually noded off in the middle of the conversation. I tried giving the waiter a signal for the check but he didn't see me. Finally, I got up, went to the waiter and said that man over there is high and I am walking away. I gave him twenty dollars (all I had on me) and said I was sorry but I was walking away and he can take care of it. I have no idea what happened to him. He never called again (thank God) and I happened to check his MySpace months later and he wrote blogs about how he had gotten arrested again, broken his arm twice, and then broke his ribs around his heart breastplate. What a mess. Yeah my date was pretty bad I was almost waiting for the camera crew to come out and say I was on some sort of hell date or something. My friends say she probably just didn't like me and wanted to play some sort of trick on me or something. Then again I don't have any really good dates. As for your date the only thing I have to say about that guy is cocaine is a hell of a drug. Edited May 25, 2012 by Necris
mortensorchid Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Once I went on a fairly bland date with some stuck-up guy from Match.com. That part was normal -- he argued about EVERYTHING and was obviously very sexist and demeaning and condescending. I was polite, but made an excuse to go as soon as dinner was over, saying we didn't have much in common, etc, etc. I paid my part of the bill with cash. He yelled at me in the restaurant, freaking out that I didn't want to go out with him again! The waitstaff removed him (after requesting his card for his part of the bill --- I said I'd pay it and the manager was basically, "NO, this ******* is paying or I'm calling the cops" and I think made him, pay the FULL bill but I left all the cash I was already leaving as a very large tip then) and had my back, because he seemed to be escalating to violence --- it was seriously scary. Anyway, I stayed a little bit longer and the manager (an older lady) and a male employee both walked me to my car. He was keying a car near mine that looked similar to mine with the word "Bitch" --- luckily he missed my car, unlucky for the person he vandalized. We left his info for that person, and he was carted off to jail. That's horrible, ZenGirl! What a psycho! I hope he never tried contacting you again after he got out of jail (if that is, in fact, where he went).
