CONFESS!!!!!! What was your WORST DATE EVER!!!!!!
Come on, you have all been on the date from hell. I know I have!!

I think the worst date I could think of was one of the regulars who use to come in to the local bar where I would waitress. He was a nice guy, a redhead, who worked at the local jail nearby (minimum security place). After a few months of knowing him he asked if I would like to go out sometime and I figure why not. I wasn't dating anyone at the time and he was always this nice guy with great stories - it should be fun.

The first couple of dates we actually got along really well. It was after a month or so of dating I found out the truth - this guy was a gun nut and liked to binge from time to time on cocaine. Our last date it was having one of his episodes (well only episodes around me) and he pulls out this gun. Now mind you, he wasn't threatening with me - just doing practice target aims at things in my home and the whole thing made me nervous. (we were spending the evening at my place watching rented videos). During a trip to the bathroom, I took the gun he laid aside on an endtable and noticed there was bullets in there so I pulled them out and hid them on him. But in the long run I was so grateful to finally get this guy out of my house. Needless to say that was my last time dating him.

1. a love from beyond the grave?
Well, I went on a casual date with a guy who lived next door to a friend in the college dorm. I have forgotten many of the details (This was 16 years ago and disturbing to me at the time), but the ONLY thing he could talk about all night was how much I reminded him of his dead girlfriend. (and that's what he called her)

2. It was just horribly awkward...
I gave this beautiful Indian guy roses, took him out to dinner....
And he talked the entire time about the guy he was really interested in... which was not me.

Khash.

6. Took a hike
I met this guy through a precursor of match.com and we decided to meet at a local forrest park.

We walked through the park VERY FAST and not together, usually single file. And then he proceeded to talk about how he alone magically created the tracking system for record sales that stores now use. :eyes: Never asked me a single thing about me.

Needless to say, I wasn't interested in seeing him again.

7. OMG!
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 04:02 PM by NewWaveChick1981
That sounds totally weird! :yoiks: I'm glad you found out about his gun fetish before you got too involved!

I have two really terrible date stories. The runner-up: Not long after I broke up with my first serious boyfriend. A friend had set us up, and I wasn't too keen on it, but I said OK anyway. We were supposed to go to dinner and a movie, and we had decided before that evening that we would go to one of the nicer restaurants in town. Well, he showed up at my door in jeans and a t-shirt and tennis shoes. I was in a very nice dress and heels. He said, "Hi! I thought we'd make it a fun night and just go out for breakfast for dinner!" Strike one... We ended up going to a restaurant that was a breakfast institution in town, so that wasn't so bad. HOWEVER... my date ordered pancakes and bacon. Not a bad thing in and of itself, but watching him eat the pancakes was torture. :yoiks: He meticulously cut a square of pancakes, buttered it one little piece at a time, and then poured three dots of syrup on it. He chewed the little pancake stack twenty-five times, and then he repeated the process until the big plate of pancakes was gone. :freak: OMG, I have never known anyone that anal before or since! :hurts: It took him almost an hour to eat pancakes that way, and we nearly missed the movie (which would have been fine by me). After the movie was over, he walked me to my door, and I shook his hand. I thanked him for dinner and the movie and was really freaked out the rest of the night. He called me the next day, and I told him I appreciated it but that I didn't think things would work out. :yoiks:

The winner: I've described this one before, but there was a guy in my apt. complex (after first bf and before hubby) that I had seen in the laundry area and around, and we had talked a few times here and there. I invited him over to watch tv one night, and we had a nice time. The evening ended with a kiss. I saw him the next day, and he asked me if I would like to go to a concert with him. I said yes, and he said, "Great! We'll have a lot of fun!" The concert day rolls around, and I went to his apartment to meet him. When I walked in the front door, his girlfriend (!) greeted me, and he said, "Hey! I want you to meet my girlfriend! You two should get along great! BTW, your ticket was $20. You can pay me later tonight." I was stunned---he had not mentioned a girlfriend or purchasing my own ticket. :grr: :nuke: I didn't quite know what to do. I stuck around for a few minutes longer, then I said I wasn't feeling well and high-tailed it back to my place. The next day, I saw him in the parking lot but pretended I didn't know he was there. He waved, but I did not wave back. The following day, he knocked on my door, and he asked if anything was wrong. FUCKING MORON---yes, something was wrong! :mad: I told him it wasn't cool to ask me out on a date and have a girlfriend at the same time, and it wasn't OK to make me think it was a date when it was really not. He looked dumbstruck, and I said it was nice that he wanted to talk to me but not to bother me again. I found out he and his gf broke up shortly thereafter. (She probably figured out what a clueless dumbass he was!) :grr:

Thank goodness there haven't been any others like that. :)

11. I didn't even post about the guy who took me to a Crack Trailer
Me, miss clean cut never done a drug in her life driver her boyfriend to a crack trailer so he could get high. Crazy thing is his father was a high-up exec in the Hershey Corporation and the family was filthy rich. And yet he wanted to smoke crack with degenerates in a trailerpark outside of Hershey. ANd if you saw this guy he was amazingly good-looking - on the surface someone who every mother out there would hope their daughter would bring hom.

I ran into him years later and he said I was the only girlfriend who ever laid down the law about the drugs and try an encourage to get him to quit the drugs. I found that out the night he was court-ordered into rehab.

9. I went out with a former student of mine in Atlanta--
she was 35, divorced, and no longer my student--so not your typical prof-dates-coed kind of deal. Very attractive, if a bit odd--very immersed in her charismatic Catholic church congregation. I'm thinking hey, if it makes her feel good, fine. We went out a couple of times, very pleasant if no big intense spark, she's reasonably smart/articulate, interesting enough. Then, thrid date, she starts telling me all about how she's spent the day protesting at an abortion clinic. It was like turning off an old-fashioned TV--I could see my interest in her dwindling down to a tiny white dot and then disappearing completely. I dropped her off in front of her apartment and never called her again. Of course I've had much worse dates--horrible public scenes, everybody doing dangerous drugs--but that's the worst one I can remember clearly.

10. First date after a really bad break-up
That I had to be talked into going on, which I should have taken as a sign.

Anyhow nice enough, attractive enough guy takes me out to dinner and a movie. Dinner was fine. A scene in the movie was quite disturbing, and I guess I was visibly upset because he grabbed he held my hand and asked if I was okay.

Him touching me made me nauseated. Poor guy. I was clearly not ready to be dating again. It went downhill from there.
