I got set up with a blind date. She was real bossy from the onset, and when we went to get into the car, she just stood by the door until I came around and opened it for her. We walked the mall and when we went into a shop, she would purchase something and just stand there expecting me to pay for it. At the movie, we walked to the concession stand and she just pointed to various candy bars and then put them in her purse. I spent about $30 bucks and this person and didn't want to even be in her company. During the movie, I told her I was going to the restroom. Well, that was the end of her! I darted from that mall quicker than lightning. I heard she got married. Only problem was, she married another woman. I hope they are happy!
Have you ever ditched your date?

You actually paid for all that stuff? On a first date? Sucker!!! 
I've never actually ditched a date. I told a guy once that I didn't want to go to a dance with him, yet he waited for me anyways. So that was his fault, not mine.

Yes I have actually, and I am terribly ashamed of myself. This guy Rob and I had become friends, and he asked me to go out with him to a Saint Paddy's Day party. He specified only friends, and as I was not interested in him, I agreed. We went out, and he started drinking and started getting very "friendly". I kept trying to give him the reminder that we were supposed to be just friends, and he would not take it. So I left him at the party and went home. I still feel bad over that, he was such a nice guy.
Not really, but once took a date home real early and then went back to the party .
She was a real dud.

No, but when I was in highschool (16), I agreed to go on a date with this guy who seemed nice. I look back now and think he must have thought I was 'easy' or something, which was his mistake.
We went to the drive in to see Porky's and some other teen flick (Private School? Another T and A flick with Phoebe Cates, anyway) and I wasn't really comfortable with it.
He, on the otherhand, was trying to get really comfortable....
I had to convince him that I was getting very, very sick and that I was going to puke in his car if he didn't take me home!
He took me home. ...and never asked me out again.

...and never asked me out again. did something similar to TRP...it was a senior overnight weekend and i was starting to get a li'l tired of spending time with ONLY the li'l lady, so i escorted her back to her room and told her i was probably going to turn in early myself...and then she caught me partying with some friends later on that night...
Oh, TRP, You reminded me of one other time...
This banker took me out for New Year's Eve (it was our first date) and kept calling his mom. I knew there was something really strange going on because we stopped at his apartment (she lived with him) and she was wearing a see through negligee.
EWWWWWWWWWW!
I had him leave me off at home at 11:30PM and promptly took off for a party I had been invited to, with him watching me drive off!

Back in college we had a dance which was called screw-ur-roommate. You set up your roommate with someone to go to the dance, but they didn't know who it was until they got there. Well, it turns out that my roommate wanted to go with this girl he liked and I was able to set it up. I get a phonecall from this other girl saying that she had already set my roommate up with someone else. It turns out that I get the to take the other girl who was setup with my roommate. This is were the nightmare begins.
I get to the dance and I meet this girl. What a nightmare! She has one of those baby doll dresses on with a little bow in the front. This would be cute if it was on a girl that actually looked like a girl. See was...how can I say it without being offensive...ugly. We finally get to the dance and everything just sucks. I was getting this sick feeling in my stomach because I new a slow song was coming up and I just didn't want to have end up having physical contact with her. To make a long story short, I told a friend that if this girl comes looking for me that I got suddenly sick and went back to my room. I left through the back door of the cafeteria and sprinted about a quarter of a mile back to the dorms. I don't know why I ran, I just did.

I've never "ditched" a date, no. I have certainly endured some very unpleasant ones though.
I am kind of an anachronism I guess, but I was raised a Southern Gentleman. It would be totally rude and disrespectful to simply "ditch" a date.
I suppose such values are "out of step" in today's society, but....
1) I believe women should be treated as ladies. Women are special, and deserve to be treated as such AND with the highest level of respect. Open her door... Pull out her chair.... Walk on the street side of the sidewalk to shield her from the traffic... If you take her somewhere, pay her way. Expect to do this, don't begrudge a few dollars. LISTEN to her... Don't drone on about yourself, unless asked. You would be ever so surprised the ways such conduct will be reciprocated.... once the lady in question KNOWS you are not simply trying to "scam" her.
2) Should you find yourself on the "hell date", simply tell the truth, that you are not enjoying yourself... or if you can't bring yourself to do so, make a polite excuse why you wish to end the date. Actually, it is my policy, even when on a "hell date", to try to make her comfortable and make the best of a bad situation. What's a little discomfort, if you can make someone else happy for an evening. Those "hell dates" have served as a benchmark that remind me when I'm having a particularly spectacular date.
3) Now, in the case of a lady who is with a man who simply refuses to conduct himself appropriately after a "Excuse me...." warning, she should base her additional responses on the particularly objectionable conduct. If easily fended off, simply ask to be returned home immediately(leave him at the car). If the conduct is of a more serious nature, occasionally a lady needs to remind a man to be a gentleman.... You could 1)tell him you are leaving, why, and do so immediately, 2) publicly state his indiscreet conduct aloud, and that you find it unacceptable.... embarrassment works wonders, 3) If he's drunk (or simply psycho), and you feel you might be in any danger... drop his butt on the floor with the hardest blow to the groin you can deliver, and split.... report his conduct.
As I said, perhaps my values are out-of-step, but changing values for me is virtually impossible. After all I am....

a few years back. I was walking through the mall, and thes two girls just stopped me and started talking to me. she bullsh!tted for a lil while and asked for my number. so, i gave it to her, cause you had to admire the courage of a girl coming up to a guy to ask for a number. the girl looked pretty ugly, was ill-mannered, and dressed like a hoochie. anyhoo, a few weeks later she calls me and wants to hook up. by this time I had forgotten who she was. so, me and my homey hook up with her and her friend. we get there, and when she walks up to the car. suddenly, it hits me. oh sh!t not her, my friend asks her if there is a seven eleven around here. she says yeah there's on right down the street. all the while i know what he's thinking. so we go down the street. he goes raj are ya stupid man. did ya see them hoz, i got a reputation to maintain. i was like i know they pretty ugly but, I can't just ditch em like that. thats just fowl and no one should have that happen to them. all the while he's insiting that we just take off. we go back and pic them up and go to the theatre,and my friend has been clowning them all the way there. about 30 minutes into the movie, me and my friend walk out to get some popcorn and whatnot. the guy at the counter who's my buddy from before, tells me they just came out and asked for his number. I was like whaaat? what the hell is wrong with these hoz. anyhoo, i thought that was very rude. so thats when me and my friend just busted out the door and took off.
am I a bad person?

Ditching a date.... someone must be a spineless, selfish wonder to do that. At the very least have the backbone to say, " I don't want to go out with you" or "this date is not going well, we should call it a night."
No I have not ditched a date, and thank God I've never been ditched. That would hurt like the blazes if it did happen and for what? because of a spineless and selfish person (girl or guy.)
