One of my favorite bad-date experiences was back in college. I took this girl to a place in Pismo Beach that has awesome clam chowder. She was from somewhere in the central US and had not heard of clam chowder before.

Well, she took the first bite with a clam in it and gagged. She asked what a clam was (she was hot, but not the brightest crayon in the box) and i pointed to a painting of one on the wall - she promptly threw up.

After I figured out that she was too dumb to figure out that a seafood place 100yards from the ocean is going to use seafood in their meals, i could not stop laughing.

That was the end of that relationship - apparently i 'tricked' her into eating nasty sea-food.

:laugh:

Friend set me up with a blind date that I was going to go on with him and his girlfriend. I can count on one hand how many words the chick said through the entire date. It was like she was a mute or something. I would try to strike up conversation with her, and I'd get 1 word answers. Most awkward, frustrating date I've ever been on.

First date, girl and I went to Pensacola, dinner and movie, and everything went great. On the way home my water pump died and my dad had to come pick us up. That was the longest 45 minute drive of my life. We just sat in the back seat in silence all the way back. I still haven't forgiven VW.

We still dated after that, so I guess it didn't turn out too bad.

i was out on a date with my wife. we had decided to go out some place semi-nice to eat as a spur of the moment thing. i noticed that she wasn't eating much. she didn't have too much bread, salad, and was picking at her meal.

casually i asked her what was wrong, if she liked her dinner, or if she didn't feel well.

she says no and that she felt bad since she had wendy's for lunch. jokingly i say, "wendy's, huh? i can see it on you." that pretty much ended any civil conversation for the rest of the meal.

Told a girl in college to pick a movie to go see for our first date. I was fully expecting some sort of chick-flick or goofy comedy. It ended up being a documentary on the War in Iraq. Yeah... Try making a move after seeing a bunch of kids missing limbs, images of soldiers dead or hospitalized, and just a whole bunch of death and destruction. The only words she spoke on the drive home were "Oh my God that was sad."

WTF did you expect a documentary of the war to be? Moron. There wasn't a 2nd date.

Any adult who does not know what clam chowder is is a complete moron - regardless of where they're from in the country.

rule number 1 of dating: never let the girl decide or ask what she wants to do. you lead she follows. This isn't negotiable until the relationship gets more serious.

My worst date was last weekend.

I was going to an Arena football game with a friend for the first time. On the way up a girl he's casually dating called and said she wants to hang out. He said no we've got plans. She said she was with her friend so we all might as well go together. I agreed.

We pick the girls up, and it's obvious that the girls are young and quite obnoxious. I'm 23, she's 18. I still try to take the purple heart for my buddy, and entertain the girl so at least he can have a good time with his girl. It soon became obvious to me that this girl was obsessed with her phone. Her phone never left her hands, and she was looking at it and texting for 90% of the night. After about 15 minutes I decided this girl didn't have enough class and common sense to realize you put the phone away when you go out. She could have stayed at home on the couch and played with her phone if that's what she wanted to do.

So I stop trying to force conversation with the girl and let her play with her phone all night. About 3 hours later as we're heading home in the car, my friend and his girl get into a little dispute. (By this time I am obviously quite annoyed and fed up with the night). I chime into their dispute and both girls kind of look at me and say, "wow, that's the first thing you've said for like an hour!" I said "yeah you're obviously so fascinated with that piece of machinery in front of you, I didn't want to interrupt. Anybody with a bit of class would realize it's impolite and just plain stupid to pay more attention to their phone than their surroundings in public like this".

An awkward silence and feeling of shame swept over the car. Nobody said anything else for the remaining 2 minute drive home. The girls got out, and my "date" kind of said, "hey it was fun we should do it again sometime" and I mumble "yeah have a nice life" as I got out of the rear seat and into the front.

Went on my first date with girl who is now my wife. We decided to go see 8mm because it had Nicholas Cage in it. We had no idea what the movie was about.

Turns about to be a movie about snuff films. How is that for a first date type movie.

omg omg omg I was JUST going to make this thread I literally have an archive of horrid date stories saved.

Here's one I call The Worst Date I Ever Went On

Ok, so I meet this girl outside a club one night and end up talking ot her and getting her number. So after about a week of chatting on the phone and online we decide to hang out. We're both pretty busy so the date will come in one week's time.

So we meet at a local Uno's for some pizza and all that. Right away I know I'm in for trouble, as the girl is HORRID at in person conversation, which is odd because when I met her she seemed capable. Everything I say to her she gives one word answers for and I'm getting pretty flustered...

Here's an actual excerpt...usually I make great conversation but at this point I was grasping at straws hoping she'd throw me a bone.

Me: So....do you have any...siblings
Girl: Yes.
Me: Oh...um...older or younger..
Girl: Both.
Me:....okay....brothers or sisters?
Girl: Both.
Me: Ok....I have to use the bathroom.


While in the restroom I tried to hang myself with a toilet paper noose but that failed. I went back out there and endured like another hour of this horrid conversation with the girl. The food took forever to get there as well which was absolute torture.
Plus she didn't blink!!! She just stared at me for the whole time.

The kicker is, she had a good time she said. She found the conversation stimulating. I lost it when she told me that later...

Talk about bad luck. I went out on this date with this girl (current gf). We went out to dinner and I ended up throwing up on the table. My stomach apparently didnt like something that I ate. Afterwards, we were driving to the movie theater when my transmission gave. We ended up walking about ten miles to a gas station....oh, and I forgot to mention that she sprained her ankle while walking back.









sike :p

My two worst first date experiences were both tied to the movies we saw.

#1 High school with a girl that was going to sleep with me. we saw platoon and I took her home afterwards.

#2 Way after college we saw "Once Were Warriors" Not a lot of conversation after the movie... (if you don't know, it's about spousal abuse)

the only movie I can think of that is a worse first date choice is "The Accused".
