No horror stories, just an observation.

The men are complaining about dates that they had to pay for. Women are complaining about dates that didn't pay.

Her dad then walks into the room, reaches in his jacket to set a gun down on the table. I'm sitting there shaking like hell with my eyes fixed on the gun, fear in my eyes. I don't remember how long I was sitting there talking to her parents, but I was scared sh!tless by the time I left and I didn't attempt a thing during the date.

which was the point, lol

He is like 6 ft tall, about 90 lbs soaking wet, with thick glasses, and greasy hair. But fine, looks aren't everything, I will still go out with him and see what he is like. Well, about an hour into our date, he still hasn't spoken to me, at all. I had to pay for my own dinner, and my own admission into a dance hall he took me too. And then, he bought me a .50 soda, fine. So, finally, he says I want to talk to you. I'm like finally, ok! He takes me outside, and tells me he has deep feelings for me, and starts telling me how he wants to be with me forever! I was like, whoa, ok, we just met, I don't even know you, and I am not ready for anything like that yet, I'm sorry. So, in the middle of the parking lot, he starts screaming at me that I am a no good whore who played him! So I just look at him, and say "I played you, for a Pepsi?" And he says yes, and how I am a user, etc, so on. Needless to say, after I told him to just take me home, I turned down his offer for a date the next weekend. :p

Wow....what a freak dude.

spent a month (edit: read: dating) picking this girl up taking her out to different places and such. after a month i want to make a move (kiss) and get denied, only to find out 3 weeks later (after not talking) that she thought she made it clear she wanted to be friends, and how i left a nasty message (asking her where we stand). ugh.

what kind of person makes you pick her up, take her wherever, pay for all her meals/admissions/whatever, then tells you she made it clear she wanted to JUST be friends? not a friend, just a stupid girl :)

Just goes to prove that all the money in the world won't save you if you're a real jerk :)

Btw,I do believe all the women posting in this thread share in the cost involved in dating,I know I certainly do

Whoah, some great stories here :) I've luckily never had a really bad date. I'd say the worst that ever happened was when I went out with that REALLY hot girl, and we were looking for a movie to watch. I suggested Saving Private Ryan and we both loathed it. Hope this stays the worst :)

Oh man...best go grab a snack and a drink for all the ones I've got:

* A girl I dated in grad school. Insisted on travelling with me to attend a good friend's wedding back home. We'd been in the car no more than an hour and a half, and were on a fairly secluded stretch of I-65. We passed this biker. Picture: chopper, horned helmet, leather Outlaws vest, the works. She decided at that moment to mock this particular gentlemen and gave a "Woohoo...hey buddy!" out the window at him. I slapped her hand down, and immediately informed her that at the first sign that he was following us, her a$$ was getting kicked out of the car. As bait. Dumba$$! :|

* My homecoming date senior year of high school. She spent the entire evening with her good "friend" and his date. When she asked why I was leaving early, and without her, I replied "You know, you really ARE a helluva lot dumber than you look." :|

* A girl I dated right after high school. She was the MEANEST drunk I've ever had the unfortunate luck to know. The kicker had to be the evening she got liquored up, picked a fight with some girl she never liked from high school, and then never warned any of us what she had done. The other chick's boyfriend sucker-punched my best friend and shattered his front teeth. We all thought it came out of nowhere. As we are driving home, and we're trying to keep my friend from bleeding all over his car seats, she mentioned pushing the girl. I brought the car to a screeching halt in the middle of a back country road, and let her know in no uncertain terms that the next time she decided to pick a fight with somebody...she was on her own when the fit hit the shan. Of course, I was dumb enough to date her just long enough for her to get me in another fight. Then I see her in undergrad again. She has the audacity to try to hook back up with me. Jacka$$! :|

* A friend of my grad school roommate. The kicker was: I didn't know we were on a date. I know that sounds strange, but that used to happen to me a lot. A girl would invite me to go do something, and before I knew it, we were "dating." Anyway, her bf showed up at the place we went dancing. Just very surreal. And the whole time, I kept thinking of the line from The Talking Head's "Once in a Lifetime" How did I get here? :confused:

* A psych major I dated for a long time in undergrad. She eventually thought it would be interesting to use me as a subject for social "experiments." Her favorite one was seeing if she could get a homosexual male convinced that I was interested in him so that he would hit on me, then gauge my reaction to it. Her favorite target was the Director of Student Life at our university, who unfortunately was in charge (not directly) of both of the areas we worked for in the Student Center. And then there was the time the two of us double-dated with a friend of hers and this dude who was the head of the Black Student Union at our university. He never said a single word to me the entire evening, not even in reply when I attempted conversation, until he told me I "should shut my fvckin white-a$$ mouth." My response was that he was welcome to come try and help me with that any time he thought he was ready. :cool:

The only good part about all these stories...they all happened somewhere between 7~15 years ago.

So how about this one....youre overseas and your missing your girlfriend a lot; but you set it up so that she gets to come visit you. You use over half your available vacation with her and take her to Italy. At the end of the trip before she leaves she starts acting funny and is distant when she gets back home. Upon having a conversation with her, she assures you everything is fine and that she has just been busy until out of the blue a letter comes that says "we arent meant to be together" Sounds like a pretty bad extended series of dates.....

How do I know?


Cause I got the letter yesterday.................. :(


Although my roommate put it into perspective when he said: "At least you didn't get the letter next Thursday on your birthday"

I went out with this Vietmanese girl and everything was going ok till we got to the resturant and she started talking about her ex and how she missed him and wished she didn't break up with him blah blah blah. To top that she pulled out a picture and asked if I thought they were a good couple. WTH!! I finally asked her who she was on a date with me or her ex? She apologized so I thought ok lets go to a movie and see how that works out, well about half way through Sleepy Hollow she gets a page from her ex and she basically runs out of the movie and calls him. I never saw her again. At least she paid for her half of everything:)

I know that one :eek: It's always strange to realize you are on a "date" even though you thought things were very clear. Actually, my husband had a very awkward moment when he was in the Navy. A fellow sailor suggested they get drinks and the guy ended up taking them to some place in Waikiki called the "Stuffed Tomato". Once they were inside, my husband realized that there were naked men dancing in cages -- it was a GAY BAR! He was mortified.

My husband is the nicest and most tactful man on earth, but that night he had no problem telling the guy off and marching out of there. He just couldn't believe he was on a "date" :D Twenty years later he can laugh about it....

Let's see, I've had a few bad dates in the past.

There was this one that I met online. We chatted for a few nights before speaking on the phone. The night I called her everything seemed cool and she seemed normal. At one point I asked her what she was doing on the upcoming Saturday. She said she was planning on staying home doing laundry (or something like that), unless she got a better offer (hint, hint). I gave her a choice of 1)movie, 2)meeting at the mall to walk around and get more familiar with each other, face to face, or 3) dinner. She said, "I'll choose all three". Not a big deal, so we agreed to meet at the mall. As I said, everything was fine, at least to this point.

After agreeing to meet her, her wacko side appeared. First, she asked me if she'd mentioned her tattoos. "Um, no..." She said she had a lion, rose, tiger, and a dolphin. She said the first three were visible, but the dolphin was in a "hidden place". :Q Ok... Then she asked what size mattress I had!!! At this point I'm thinking that this is a real wacko, but I didn't feel right about canceling the date just after accepting it. I would go on the date and give subtle hints that she was not my type (too wild for me).

Anyway, we agreed to meet in front of a certain store in the mall. I was there on time, but didn't see her, at least no one that met her description. I didn't bring her cell phone number with me as I didn't think I'd need it. Well, after waiting about 30 minutes, I left and went home to get her cell number. I called and she said she was waiting for me and thought I stood her up. However, she said she was inside the store and not out front. I don't think she was there as I did look in the store and saw no one who matched her description. I think she was elsewhere and wanted to get a look at me before showing herself. I guess I didn't pass her inspection. That was fine with me as it was going to be a one-time date after learning more about her after accepting the date.

Obviously, I didn't get to see the dolphin ;)

The worst date for a girl that I had dinner with one time was a blind date. We knew nothing about each other ahead of time, just that she was a roommate of my mom's friend's granddaughter. We were introduced at the friend's house, then had dinner at The Olive Garden. I've had nothing but bad luck with the food and dates at The Olive Garden. I refuse to go there now with my wife as something always goes wrong ;)

Anyway, in the middle of dinner, my date says, "I'm sorry, but what was your last name again." I told her, but then realized something. I said, "I'm sorry, but what was your name again." Yes, not only had I forgotten her last name, but also her first name. Obviously, she didn't make a good first impression with me when we were introduced because her name went in one ear and out the other :p. Even though I knew not long after speaking with her at dinner (before the name thing) I wouldn't ask for a second date, it was still embarrassing to realize I didn't know her name :eek:. I guess that was probably one of her worst dates...

She also had this one-legged girlfriend that she wanted me to setup with one of my friends. No way in hell was I going to do that, and she got pretty pissed about it. Would you ask your friend to date a fat, one legged alcoholic?

Pics? :D


Mine would have to be a psycho I met one day. It was sort of a blind date. There was a hottie working at a restaurant I liked to go to and then one day a worker comes up and says that there is a girl there that would like to get to know you better. I say, "Well alright. It's about time" Instead I get a quasimodo looking girl, About 5' tall, could lose 40 lbs easily, pockmarked complexion with a butch haircut. She practically begs for my number in spite of the fact that I told her I had a girlfriend already. (Should have said I was gay, but really doubt if that would have worked on her).

After a couple of weeks of playing phone tag(Me screening the calls and erasing hers), finally picked it up one night in a drunken stupor. Apparently I had my beer goggles on or had forgotten what she looked like and had agreed to go out next friday. I called on friday and said it was not looking good, will try on saturday. Do the same thing on Saturday and schedule it for Sunday. Finally call her at 5 and tell her I will be over to take her out to dinner.Get over to her place about 2 hours later, (a 5 minute drive) with no explanation and take her to a steakhouse 30 minutes before it closes. I find out that her parents are first cousins and her mom is raising my dates, 2 kids by different fathers, in another state, Kentucky. Discovered she had a really whiny voice. Not as bad as Fran Drescher but close.

I take her back to her place when the restaurant closes and she invites me in to meet her buds. One of her buds is rolling a fat one when I come in and the place smells like crap...Her bud has a baby and obviously does not believe in changing diapers. I sit down and start watching television and try to phase out my surroundings. They start drinking and taking xanax's. They offer me some, I take the beer and pretend to take the xanax. At this point, I'm being a total jerk and am ignoring them. I forget my dates name frequently. Then she starts taking off her shirt and all. She wants to know if I want to go in the other room. I decline. She says I don't have to use a rubber, she is on the pill..I chuckle and say I don't even kiss on the first date. I hug her goodbye then leave.

Apparently, she had a good time because she would call me at least 3 times a day for the next month or so at all times of the day. I eventually had to change my number because she started swearing and saying that she would cut me.

Bottom line is..Don't have mercy dates with incest-spawned, Kentucky trailer-trash
