Worst Date Stories

[Wingnut]

Someone mentioned on another thread a little while back about a bad date they'd had, and that they were going to start a bad date thread, but I don't see one, so I'll start it. Should be fun.

I met this guy at a YSA weekend, where he (I later found out) hit on just about everyone and must have collected 15 phone numbers. At the time I thought he was nice, marginally cute, but definitely not for me. I was 19, he was late 20's, plus he lived 2 hours away, and something was just a little weird about him. Not expecting to ever see or hear from him again (because of the distance and age difference), I stupidly gave my number when he asked for it. I later found out from several friends that they'd given him fake numbers, and they'd heard from others that he just wouldn't give up. Apparently he had an annoying reputation. He'd call and call, and each time, his name popped up on callerID, so I wouldn't answer it, and told my parents not to answer as well. Finally, he stopped calling. Two months or more passed, and the phone rang one day. I didn't recognize the number, so I answered...he'd gotten a new cell phone. ARGH! He was going to be in town that weekend. Reluctantly I agreed to go out with him (I didn't have the guts to say no, but I'd figured out by now that I couldn't just brush him off).

Want to know where he took me? The cannery. We went to the cannery. To can. Luckily, he worked on one end of the room, while I worked on the other. The we went to a park to play relay-type games (3-legged races) BY OURSELVES. At this point I saw an opportunity. I faked a twisted ankle and he finally took me home. I never heard from him again.

Oh, and I hadn't eaten because I figured we'd be going to dinner or something, so I was starving when I got home at 9:30 that night.

I had one girl tell me the names of the 7 kids she wanted to have and the temple she was going to get married in before the queso dip hit the table on the first date..


I went out with a girl several years ago that had a make believe child... she had a room for him in her trailer (keyword trailer) full of toys that a 3 yr old boy would like.... but no kid ever for this girl....

Dated one girl for 6 months, ended ugly, and several months after we broke up she called the cops and said i've been trying to kill her...according to LPD, she does that with every guy she breaks up with.

not to mention several compulsive liars that got caught up in a web of fake medical issues....and a couple stalkers i'll add more as i unblock the memories

Oh my gosh, these are hilarious. I don't erally have a bad date that compares to these! My worst was when a guy called me at 7 in the morning on a Saturday to go on a date. And I don't mean he was calling to schedule for a later date. He was calling to ask me to go on a date...at that moment. hahah. Please keep these coming I love reading these!!!

There's only one that was really wierd.

Many, many (LOL) years ago when I was in my early 20s a really good friend told me about this great guy she knew. I thought, well he's a friend of a friend, can't be too bad. Oh boy! Big lesson learned there! Anyway....he called me and we talked for some time and then he asked if I would like to meet for a dinner date and get to know each other. I thought, at that point, can't hurt to just meet. We met at the resturaunt --- nice. Sat down and started talking -- everything is going fine. He's good looking, great personality and I'm starting to like this guy. Then a bombshell hit me. He leans over and tells me he likes to cross-dress and that he's wearing women's undergarmets right now.

Boy, was I glad we had come in separate cars!!! I will give him some credit -- he told me right out front (so to speak) and when I told him I wasn't interested in seeing him again, he didn't pursue. Phew!

Just so you all know, I was over 50 and a widow when this date happened. Men can be very strange at any age! Bob was a friend from a G-rated chat room. He lived several hundred miles away, so we had never met, but chatted in the room for over a year. One day he showed up in MY Town, after having a fight with his son! He wanted to take me out, and I said yes..........Little did I know he would be around for 3 whole days. UGH!! First he wasn't good looking - he had really deep wrinkles all over his face, sorta like a chinese pug dog. Next there was no dinner...he thought I'd just cook him something, so I did, but he kept telling me how to cook it!! Dinner was underdone. Next we went driving so I could show him some of the beautiful scenery. He was from a very dry dusty place and I lived near the ocean. He didn't like the trees or the water. Then >>>>>>>>> THEN, he leans over in his car seat, TAKES OUT HIS FALSE TEETH AND TRIES TO KISS ME!!!!!!!!! YUCK AND DOUBLE YUCK. I was horrified!! (and NO, I did not kiss him!) I told him the next day on the phone that I didn't want to see him again and that taking his teeth out was really gross.....He said I should try kissing him, I might like it!! He didn't see anything wrong with it!!! I bet he's still single!

I think we have a winner.

keep in mind as you read this i was pretty naive. i was 23 but just didn't care about some things, and was rather timid when it came to standing up for myself...

i met this guy online a week before he moved back home out east. we became penpals (yes penpals...talk about old school) for about 8 months. at one point in one of the letters i told him i had broken up with my ex-boyfriend and he found this to be his opprotunity. in the next letter he told me he was planning on moving back to alberta and we should go on a date. he drove cross-country and a week after he got here, he called me and asked me if i wanted to go on a date. we made plans and the morning of the date i was super sick. he lived in a city an hour away from me so i cancelled. he told me he didn't care if i was sick, he was coming anyways. i finally convinced him not to come that weekend, but to come the next weekend. that should have been hint one though.

so the next weekend comes around and he shows up at my door. we were supposed to go out for dinner in town. i open my door and he's standing there...with a bag...and says "sorry i'm late, i just got off work and came straight here, can i use your shower?" all i could think to say was "i don't have any clean towels..." he goes "that's ok, as long as their dry" and i said "they're not". at that point i should have told him to leave, but i wanted my dinner!!! so he went upstairs and showered.

he came downstairs and i was just sitting there. he sat on the chair across from me and we sat there, and sat there, and sat there. i tried to get him to talk and when i asked why he was so quiet he said "i only talk when i have something important to say". so i said "ok, well did you want to go for dinner now?" something we had talked about on the phone. he told ME he'd take ME to dinner and HE'd pay. he TOLD me before we met. and he says "i don't really like going out places". WHAT! i was pretty much broke. i had probably 40 dollar to last me a week. so i was like "umm...well...are you hungry?" and he said yes (i had no food in my house either and wasn't planning on cooking for him either). i asked if he wanted pizza or something, so we ordered pizza. again, me expecting him to pay cause he TOLD me he'd pay. i ordered the pizza. it got here, and he didn't even make a move to TRY to pay. so...i paid.

we started watching a movie on tv (cause he doesn't like going out) and it was getting late and he fell asleep in the chair. i should have told him then to leave, but i didn't know how to approach the situation. he lived an hour away and it was pretty late. i told him there was a spare bedroom upstairs.

the next morning (i stayed awake all night texting friends to keep me awake cause there was no way i was falling asleep with this stranger in my house) it was getting later, and later and later. he still wasn't awake. so i concocted a plan with a friend. i went upstairs and told the guy that my friend was coming over in a half an hour so he had to be up by then. he gets up, comes downstairs and sits there, silently. my friend comes over and i introduce them and the guy just kinda sits there. i'm like. "well, we gotta go so....it was nice meeting you..." and he still just sat there. i asked my friend to wait outside and i said to the guy "is something wrong?"

ok, so this guy is 35 years old and he starts CRYING (i had a thing for older guys back then....) i ask what's wrong and he tells me he drove all the way from newfoundland to see me and why can't he wait at my house while my friend and i go do what we need to do? i told him 'because when my friend and i get back i have to go to my moms to do my laundry' he said "well...can i come with you?" i told him no, and he starts crying more. he said 'can i wait here then" and i said "no" and he goes "it's just, i was expecting we were going to spend the whole weekend together"

!!!!! WHAT !!!!!

i said "i was expecting you to come here, we go to dinner, you leave. we never discussed the weekend together. reluctantly he left. my friend and i drove around the block for a half an hour until we saw the guy was out of town and i never heard from him again.

long story, i know, but worst date of my life. WOW.

Wooow these are soooo fun to read. I have NO IDEA what I would do in these situations!!

Yep! Although the next story (the dude who wanted to stay for the weekend but not do anything) was also pretty good.

Keep 'em comin'!
