I'm sure most people have a few really bad dates hanging in the attic with the bats. Feel free to share. Here are a couple of mine:
1) This one was years ago, but it's right up there as one of the worst nights of my life. I was really, really depressed. It had been a really tough month, so a friend decided to set me up on a date with a woman I knew. It was foolish of me to agree, because I would never have asked anyone out on my own, but sure, why not? We were going to go to a movie, and I was adamant that I needed to see a comedy. They decided to see "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", and assured me that it was really funny. We were a little late, and walked in just as Bette Davis pulled the silver lid off of the poached rat. I walked into the bathroom and threw up, then spent the rest of the movie sitting in the lobby being miserable. I was certainly not a good date that night.
2) It was a blind date. We met and she was pretty. We talked and had a lot of things in common. We were going dancing with a group. When we got there she wouldn't get out of the car because she was afraid of being mugged - in a group of six people. When we finally coaxed her into the club, I guided her onto the dance floor. Ten seconds into the song she turned around and walked away. I finally found her standing with her back to a corner. She said she could feel the floor shaking and was sure the building would collapse. Then she started telling me how terrible it was that she was 31 years old and still a virgin. I could tell why. She actually asked me to call her. I told her, "I don't think so."
3) Then there was the lovely young woman that I asked to dinner. When I showed up she informed me her two really ill-behaved children were coming along and I was buying everyone dinner at Chucky Cheese. I wanted to get to know her, but it was so loud from shrieking children that I couldn't hear a word she was saying. It wasn't even good pizza. On the way back to her place she told me her kids had different fathers. She came from a wealthy family and didn't need child support, so she hadn't told either man they had a child. She actually thought she was a real prize. I thought it would be a cold day in hell before I was that hard up.
So what are your stories? If you are going to be out there, you are going to have disasters.
Well any date I don't get killed on isn't that bad, unlike some who end up with wackos. Like the guy who got scared and buried his date alive, killing her.
My worst is pretty tame, but I may meet some huge stinkers later. Worst for me was a meet-up with a guy my sister-in-law wanted me to meet. And it was bad for me because I wasn't attracted to the guy in looks, or personality, and only agreed to meet him to be polite. But my opinion didn't change in the hour+ I spent around him. But not totally one-sided. He probably didn't like me either. So, even match lol
My top 3 worst dates:
1 - I went on a date with a guy I met online. We talked the whole week on the phone, and he seemed like a really nice guy. I sent him a very recent pic and told him that I was 6 feet tall. We agreed to meet up that Saturday at the movie theatre. We get to the movie theater and he has very little to say although he was talkative the whole week. He paid for the movie for both of us, and then we went and sat down. He says to me, "I'm going to the concession stand, do you want anything?" I reply, "No, I'm ok." I'm still waiting on him to return... About a week later, he has an updated personal ad, and he specifies that he wants someone light skinned, petite, with light eyes and long hair...hmmmm....
2 - Went on a date with a guy I had been dating off an on a little over a year. We went to Steak and Ale, and he gets a menu, and complains about the prices the whole time. He complains so loudly that the couple behind us heard him and gave the waitress a coupon for "buy one entree, get the second for half off". I was mortified, I wanted to climb under the table.
3 - Went on a date with a guy that I met out and about. We go to a restaurant, and I notice that he orders very little to eat and watches me eat the whole time. After paying for the date, he asked me for $20 to get home. *sigh*
I have a girlfriend who went on a blind date with some guy. He showed up dressed like Elvis. While they were talking, he told her that he has a hard time with women as they are usually intimidated by his celebrity.
But if any woman wants to meet at a bar, then its bound to be a horrific date for me as my religion chastises drinking and equates it to poison. Furthermore, I'll have to pay for all that beer/wine/whatever else exists, and I refuse to touch alcohol without neoprene gloves.
