Your worst/weirdest date?

[cuddlebuggy]

Had to be the guy who moved here from Chicago because he wanted to be a cop (I guess Texas is less particular?)
When I think date, I don't think taking me back to you empty apartment with a blow up mattress on the floor, drinking tea from bowls. (Ok, I'll admit- a hotter guy might have pulled it off but I really wasn't attracted to him, just trying to get into dating after breakup)
Then he tells me it took him 4 hours to blow up the mattress so his apartment wouldn't be totally empty. From him, it was creepy.
A few days later I had to tell him point blank I wasn't into him. After that he had to be escorted off my work property and given a trespass warning. Pretty sure he never became a cop...

Ok well this one isn't bad BUT my only date was at a furry convention.
I had fun! But then I learned that I'm aromantic, except for fictional characters. So y'know.

Omg this is one of the best threads I have seen in a while Hahaha xD I enjoy reading things like this!

I would have to say there are two dates which are equally terrible.

Over 4 years ago I started the whole online dating website thing because I was convinced I would never find someone otherwise. I went on so many dates, a lot of them not being great and I don't remember most of them.

One guy I was talking to was really cute in his pictures, then when he showed up looked so not like them at all. That automatically made it really awkward for me. There was literally no chemistry on my end and I just wanted to go home once the date started. However, this guy would NOT let me go home. I want you to imagine everything you could possibly do on a first date-- that's what we did. Dinner, putt putt, bowling, movie, walking around a mall. I literally wanted to die. Being born and raised in the South, I am way too polite for my own good and STILL learning how to say no to people. So instead of telling him I was ready to go, I just let him drag me along. Afterwards he kept trying to get me to go out with him again but he finally got the message I wasn't interested. >_>

Another guy was a total pompous butt. We met at a mall where we were going to have lunch. I decided I wasn't hungry so I just wanted some ice cream. And he literally just left me and went to get his own food and sat down. So I spent about 10 minutes looking for him in the food court. The rest of the date consisted of him telling me about all the things he is so amazing at, crazy ex's, etc. Such a terrible guy. Finally it was done and I went to my classes for the day. He texted me for about 2 weeks, asking me to come to his golf tournaments to be "eye candy" and such. Er...no thanks.

Oh geez I forgot another one! I met this one guy at the mall with a couple of my other friends. He was totally weird and had gross teeth. He was also wearing girl pants(that were WAY too tight on him) and a babydoll tee. He kept talking about how well girl clothes fit him. I was instantly not interested. I mean, I get you like to wear girl clothes and think they look amazing on you, but do you really have to keep talking about it? He even hit on one of my friends that went with me. I felt so bad :x We saw a movie and he kept trying to put his arm around me. BIG no no. Plus we were watching Avatar, which I am VERY serious about. Do not mess with me while I am watching it xD A good few months go by and I have not talked to him at all. I had started dating my fiance at this point I think, but he messaged me on Skype and literally just said "You are a (insert inappropriate word for girly part)". It was pretty funny. Like you have been holding onto this after how many months and one date? Hahaha

And enough of that. Moral of the story, I went on a lot of bad dates but they were so worth it because I did end up meeting the love of my life on the same website

Hahaha! I love reading stories like this too! omg!!  Well, I'm glad it worked out for you in the end!  Your second story reminds me of one the stalkers I had.. eeek!

Oh my a stalker?! o-e That is scary!

[DazzleKitty]

I have two really bad ones, and I'm going to do my best to tell them in a censored way. Both of these guys were met at dating sites.

This one guy messaged me and he seemed nice enough but I wasn't physically attracted. At all. But I decided to give it a go and see what he looked like in person. Because hey, some of us are just NOT photogenic, like me. Upon meeting him I was instantly disgusted. And I am not judgmental, but I am picky on who I date. I didn't like how sloppily he dressed (his clothes were worn and looked all wrinkled and I was wearing slacks and a nice shirt), I didn't like his voice, and I just flat out thought he was visually unappealing. We walked around a mall and talked and we had nothing in common. He kept on trying to kiss me and when he leaned in, his breath was so vile! It literally smelled like feces. After the date, I texted him that I wasn't ready for dating like I thought I was. I wanted to let him off lightly. He then started calling me an indecisive child and a bunch of very insulting names. I then proceeded to text him that he may have better luck on dates if he eats a breath mint. He wasn't very happy to hear that.

My next story is the worst one. I met this guy on the POF dating site. I talked to him on the phone and alarm bells went off but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I was stupid and let him come to my house for the first date. I should have stopped when I realized he didn't even have a car and I had to go get him. He was very vulgar and cussed a lot in front of my parents. I don't think that's very classy for a first impression. He was also very sexually charged and kept trying to get me alone. To make a long story short, I later found out he is a sex offender who had preyed on a young girl. Talk about gross.

Oh, I remember another one! I also met this guy at POF. Another person who couldn't drive. He got a ride to my house while my friends were there. They are good judges of character so I figured they could tell me if he was good or not. My mom was there too. We were all in the pool. He kept on trying to give me a massage in front of everyone, was giving out way too much information about himself, and was calling my one friend fat and making fun of him. He also kept trying to convince me to go to his trailer and saying "I won't do anything to you, I promise!" He was just a real creeper.
He also said my nose (which is a little upturned) made me look like a pig and that it was "cute". 


I seem to attract these types.

Ah, it wasn't a super bad situation, Thank God! He was a "love-struck" horny, little guy who was head over heels for me.. but I was so *not* attracted to him. and plus he dressed weird..    I liked him, but just as a friend.. We did have like one or two things in common.. But I too, was just too nice for my own good and let him date me for a couple of months.

He and I met on the internet.. lol.. We then would talk on the phone and also continue to talk online, some of our convos were pretty adult...(I was so stupid! lol) He would find me at school (college) some random show ups, most of them were not though.. but anyways, he was just really weird.. I liked his voice, so I guess that's why I ended up dating him for as long as I did.. His kisses were soo sloppy..ugh!

I just wanted to tell him I wasn't interested.. but I didn't know how to let him down nicely. (This was like 15 years ago!) So yeah, he finally told me he was interested in someone else..so I was saved by the bell on that one -- but then several years later he found me on Facebook. I accepted his friend request..big mistake.

He proceeded to tell me how he kept on trying to find me, and he remembered intimate details about me.. Then he says, he got married. I'm like uhhh ok, congrats! (He found me only to tell me that?! lol) Then, (it gets even better!) He starts messaging inappropriate comments to me about how he wanted to get me alone, he never stopped thinking about me, and that he wants to see me..etc. I said something along the lines of "I don't think your wife would appreciate that!" I immediately deleted our convo and blocked him..ugh.. 

[wlyteth]

My take away from this thread is don't go on dating sites. Or date. Or be alone with another person I don't know very well. xD

[PinkiePosh]

OMG Dazzlekitty! That has to be the worst one in the thread!
Since everyone is talking about dating sites, I actually do have tons of bad experiences from them but I've never met up with a girl off the site. I was close to with this one girl, who seemed cool at first, but she texted me all hours of the day. And not just regular conversations, she would just constantly say "hey" every hour if she was not recieving a reply. When I would get home in the evenings I would have an inbox full of "hey"s from her.

Then we started talking about meeting up and thats when the weird came out. She kept saying that she had a crush on me and that she wanted someone to come over and cuddle with her. I only had 4 pictures of me on OKC and she had only spoken to me for a few days so I didnt see how she had a crush on me. She later asked me if I had a car and knew how to drive. I said yes, and she asked me to pick her up at her high school after school.

which prompted the question, "are you really 18?" she said "no, but don't worry, I'm really mature for my age!"
that's when I stopped talking to her. Unfortuneatly its really hard to date as a gay person and NOT use dating sites, but there are so many weirdos out there.


I'm also always the one who drives for dates, like a few others here have said. I'm always paying too! I kind of would like a girl to pick me up for once but I also like to have a little control if its with a complete stranger. If I don't feel safe I can always leave and tell her to take a cab.

[ponycake]

Guysssss. You need to cancel those dates (or not even make them until after you talk a good while) as soon as people send out red flags like texting too much/too clingy/weird or anything. I had a guy who was really good looking (and really him lol), an artist like me who I wanted to learn from, but he went from zero to in love in like two days and got so clingy and so needy and something felt off so I canceled our date. Which is a shame because I really liked who he was otherwise but there's something wrong there if they do that.

Oh yes, I've learned my lessons since all the weirdos..haha. Was really naive and stupid about things, especially guys, when I was in my late teens/'20s. We live and learn!

[Tap Dancer]

We don't date in Sweden so I don't have any stories really but I love to read all of yours.

If you never go out with anyone one-on-one, how do you meet your significant others and fall in love?

I don't have any bad stories. I went on a couple slightly awkward blind dates almost 20 years ago, but nothing embarrassing or upsetting happened. I barely remember them.

[buddyboymama]

Oh, that is just bizarre. If she can move things with her mind, why didn't she, you know, make your car come to you instead of having to search for it?

No bad date stories that I can recall, but I am having fun reading everyone else's. Does that make me a bad person?

[Pokeyonekenobie]

My worst date was a few months ago.  My brother's wife (fiance at the time) had a friend that she swore was perfect for me.  So my brother suggested we go on a double date.  Then his wife said that the guy's sister wanted to come with her husband and it would be a triple.  I said that would be fine.  We decided to meet at this place called Fat Cat's.  They have bowling, pool, video games, mini golf and a pizza parlor.  When we got there, the guy had showed up with his sister but his sister's husband had to work, so instead she brought their younger brother as her date.  We ate at the pizza parlor first.  The guys sat on one side of the booth and the three of us ladies sat across from them.  The conversation was a little awkward because the guy they'd set me up with is shy and I'm shy until I get to know people.  But it wasn't horrible.  After that we decided to try and go bowling.  The lanes were all full but they have this system where they send you a text when your lane is available.  So while we were waiting, we decided to play some of the games.  The guy went off with his brother and left me with my brother and his wife.  After a few minutes we found him and I tried to hang out with them, but I felt like I was the annoying little sister tagging along that nobody wanted around.  I don't know if my brother's wife said something to him, but eventually he actually played a few games with me.  We still hadn't gotten a text about our bowling lane, so we all stood in line and redeemed our game tickets.  The guy I was supposedly on a date with picked out ALL the prizes for our tickets, even though I won most of them.  He was gracious enough to let me pick which PEZ dispenser I wanted, though. 

We never did get the text for our bowling lane (we found out later that my brother accidentally gave them a phone number he no longer has) so we went to a nearby ice cream parlor.  As we were eating our ice cream, the guy spent the entire time talking to his siblings and I couldn't figure out how to include myself into their conversation.  My brother's wife sent me a text asking if they should suggest going to a movie or if we should run away.  I opted for running away.  My brother and his wife spent the entire time trying to encourage this guy to spend time with me.  I spent the entire time feeling ignored.  I'm not sure the guy even noticed it was supposed to be a date.  Apart from paying for my dinner and game tokens, he didn't seem to notice me.  He really only talked to me when my brother and his wife led the conversation and included both of us.  To be honest, I can't even remember his name.

I told my brother that I wasn't interested in any more blind dates.  Especially not ones where the guy's brother gets more attention from him than I do.
