What was the worst date you've ever been on?

[Vermicious]

I figured I got off easy.

You did! Freaky woman.

[dixincide]

Nowadays I think everyone should have an Date Rescue App... have it call you 20 mins into a date, you can decide then if you take it and 'have an emergency' or ignore it.

Marketing this idea...

Filing patent work soon (tm)

Once it is developed and selling, I'll send you a cut :P

I use one called "Fakecallme" where you can set it to call you in a time frame you choose after you press the button. Then your phone will ring with an icon that says whatever you want I had mine say "Boss" and that I really need to take this. Then I excuse myself. and come back saying I have to go.

Really useful.

Not really a date, I guess..
But I was flirting and spending many nights talking to this girl.

The first thing we did together was a visit to an abortion clinic because she was pregnant from some other guy.
The "second" date was more fun.

Wow...From that place to hopefully mini-golf.

About a year ago, had not gotten a date since Obama became president.

She asked for cash upfront.

It might differ in the US, but here in the UK I think that's sadly legal. In those jobs that provide access to personal info, usually the only security measure is 'Nothing leaves the office'.

That would freak me out, though! At least he was clumsy, and didn't try to hide it.

No, that's not legal in the UK. Data protection law requires that any information stored is used only for the purposes for which it was recorded. In this case that would be preventing crime, not stalking potential partners.


However, I'm not too sure I believe that the police have a file on everybody, and especially not a file where you can look up the person's family members. Working for the DWP I can safely say that we have loads of different systems just to be able to handle benefits. A setup where you can get any information about anybody would be absolutely massive.

I've never had any awful dates, but when I was 17... had a boyfriend pop 'I love you' after the first two weeks. Noped my way out of that relationship really fast. Met my husband two years later... on WoW... :P and we've been together ever since (I'm 27, he's 30.)

[Mimir]

I had this date once where I invited a fine woman over and we fooled around for hours and hours, but when the moment of truth came she said "ow" and I had to stop. God dammit. She left and I had to go to plan B: Palmela Handerson.

I once sat through a Linken Park concert, pretty tame compared to some of ya'll.

[JohnBrown1917]

Never went on a date, so I dodged a bullet.

[Lord Pebbleton]

Ooooh boy where to start.
I've had my share of crappy dates but a specific one still haunts me. You see, I'm the kind of person that's pretty relaxed, talks about things, tries to be interesting and to be interested. My dates are almost always fine, but when I see shyness, I'm not really interested or we don't want the same things, we just talk it out and stay on friendly terms. But this one time...

A dear friend of mine had just ended a looong relationship. We went to the disco and met these two nice girls. I wasn't really interested in them but we ended up talking anyway, and I set up a double date so my friend could somewhat forget his past relationship.
Date delayed. Oookay, it happens.
Delayed again. Look, if you don't wanna hang out, you just have to tell us.
Finally, we should meet! ...me, my friend, these two and... a cousin. A cousin from nowhere. 5-people date, wohooo! I fear the worst.

We finally meet. The three of them are dead silent. So I start talking about all sorts of things to see if I can find something they like. Nope. It's just "Oh yeah?" "Ahah yes" "No, not really" and dodgy shit of the likes... also they always sprint forward and leave us behind during the walk.
I stare at my friend with utter despair in my eyes and a look that meant "We should flee to the hills, now".
We stop in a cafe, me and my friend start talking about an awesome holiday we had last year. We of course try to include them in the discussion.

-Oh London really is awesome. There's tons to see. Ever been there?
-No.
-Well, did you go somewhere last year?
-Yes.
-Ah! Where?
-Places.

Then they turn and start talking about their own business. The cousin (I don't really even remember whose cousin it was...) had only said "Hi" when she appeared and nothing else in the last 45 minutes and is now silent. Me and my friends are in disbelief. However I notice that it's mainly "my" girl that's being indifferent at all costs... my friend's seems more lively.
Awkward silence. I feel frustrated you have no idea. I can't bring them to talk to anything and I feel the eyes of the freaking cousin inspecting me. Sssshiverrrs.
Then the cousin has to go! FINALLY! Maybe with a proper double date...
...ah no... remember that call they made before while we weren't paying attention? I don't either. They were calling a friend of theirs to join us because heeey, they haven't seen him in a long time, so they figured...

At this point I was annoyed like there was no tomorrow. I felt I was treated like a pervert because there was always someone so they wouldn't be left alone with us. The mentioned friend was a weird individual, carrying a women's bag with an umbrella, occasionally spitting in the girls' faces or screaming at them.
And they laughed. It was a nightmare. I just wanted to go home.

I fell dead silent and minded my own business. I wasn't interested in no one anymore. We ate something for dinner, then I said "Oh look! Gotta go home for... reasons". I didn't want to leave my friend but I figured if I left those two girls (in which I no longer had the slightest interest) and him with their weird friend, maybe that would look like a proper double date.

It kinda worked. My friend and his girl are now a couple, and I've seen "my" girl only once since then, mainly to wave my arm when she passed by. I believe she's engaged to another friend of mine now... I'm sincerely sorry for him.

The best part? The two girls thought that me and my friend were homosexual. Out of nowhere. They didn't think it was a date, rather the start of a looong friends relationship. Yeah... two guys ask you out and the first thing that comes to your mind is "They gotta be homosexual and want to be friends". I've got nothing against homosexual... I just ain't one. And I was really dumbfounded when I found out their line of thinking because it really popped out of freaking nowhere. Either way they behaved like we were criminals that shouldn't be talked to.

Only bad dates were ones that I would have liked a second, but was never given the opportunity. One ended up getting married like 3 weeks later.

[Sickjen]

My worst date was when i was 19, my friend was trying to hook her friend up with someone and i gladly stepped in. Firstly i met up with this girl and it was going fine at first but i noticed she was staring a hole into my head. I'm not overly judgmental so we continued the date. I drive a pretty nice car and pretty much the entire time she was telling me it's a tools car (As a car guy i find that insulting). At this point i'm fairly pissed but i tried to shrug it off and continue without her noticing. She suggested we go to a park or something, so i agreed. On the way there she started literally poking me in the face like a 2 year old. I told her to stop over 10 times. We finally got to the park & she continues to poke me but now instead of poking its pinching me. I eventually was like "pardon my language" Fuck this shit. I drove her to her car and told her maybe romance wasn't her thing.

When I was in my early 20's I met this chick at a bar. We exchanged numbers and set up a date to meet again at said bar.

After a night of drinking and groping on the dance floor, we climbed into the back seat of my suv. The clothes came off and eventually I'm getting a bj while 6 packing her. At that moment, some bouncers from the bar walked up and shined a flashlight in my window on us. Thus interrupting our groove.

Later, we have a date at my place. After a movie things get hot and heavy.

Eventually I went down on her. All was going well, but eventually I started to feel like my nose was tickling/itching. I figured it was a stray pube and kept up the box licking.

After another minute I felt like my nose was running. I flipped on the light (had it off for whatever reason) and discovered I had a gushing nose bleed. Totally bled all over her crotch.

She didn't freak out, but got cleaned up, dressed, and went home. We never spoke again.

So why was she poking/pinching you? Was she just being moronic or was there at all a reason for that?

I literally LOLed on that one

[Huntermyth]

i think i was in junior high and there was this girl i liked a lot. i finally grabbed all the courage i could find and asked her to go to a date of some sort. anything was ok
to my surprise she accepted and boy was i happy. i could literally die because of excitement and felt like a real man for the first time.

then... the big day came... i was waiting outside of our school... waited a bit more... then some more... and finally she showed her cutest possible face around the corner. i started to walk to her but noticed some grocery material in her soft ( in my dreams ) hands. i was like wtf and she simply walked pass me. i couldn't believe what the actual fuck was just happened and asked her this ---> '' shall i wait here or follow you ? '' and she replied '' no, i don't have permission to go out today ''

if i didn't ask what's going on she would most probably go without saying anything. i now know that she was feeling worse than me for sure because of the situation she was in, but hell i was angry like a honey badger haha.

she never spoke with me again.

this thing happened exactly 22 years ago and i remember that day like it was yesterday. lesson learned though, this casanova raised from those ashes.

[zenkai]

When you first meet her and she says she's bi. Then later, you find out she meant polar. Yea-- NOPE. I'd say you got really lucky; They have some real low tactics. I'm not talking usual female tactics. I'm talking underhanded "I can do what I want and it's all your fault and if it's not your fault I blame my disorder" tactics where they make you into the bad guy and if that doesn't work, blame you for making their disorder worse.

I can go one better than your story though: She also introduced me to a whole group of her friends who also have that or similar conditions. At least you had the sense to walk away early. Christ I wish I had but nope, it was 8 months before she finally fucked off.

I don't do dates as such. Not because of her, but because of social awkwardness. I'd rather meet friends of friends. Least that way you see how they are around other people.

LOL I hear ya

I only had one GF that was bipolar and it was the worst and best relationship I ever had. When she was in a good mode everything was sweet but faster than you can snap your fingers she would be a raving lunatic.

[Manhands]

Some of these are legitimately terrifying or horrible, and I feel extreme compassion for those involved.

And then there are several that are basically "she looked hot and turned out to be slightly chunky" or "she had a weird opinion about X subject". I can't help but judge you. Very harshly.

Yeah, been there as well. A girl I had a crush on in high school randomly looked me up about 4 years after graduation. We kind of dated and eventually had sexual relations. I say "kind of" because she turned out to be massively bipolar. I tolerated her longer than I should have due to a combination of pitty, being friends as kids, and legitimately being in love with her. Way too much to deal with in the end.

I'll call it a learning experience.

[Crissi]

Friends with benefits dude decided to ask me on a date, so I said sure. SO we went to Glen Rose and wlaked around downtown and had lunch. That was fun. Then we visitied the Creation Museum to make fun of it, which was also fun. Then we went hiking for 2 miles, which would have been fun if it werent 107 out and we each only brought 1 bottle of water. Halfway through, we have sex and then I promptly start vomiting non stop. I apparantly got heat exhaustion, and had to stop every 3 min on the walk back to keep on vomiting. Then when I couldnt walk anymore, he walked all the way back to get more water, walked bakc to me, then had me lean on him til we got to an open area. He walked back to his car, drove past the barricades, and picked me up.

Yeah, getting heat exhaustion made that date absolute shit. We still talk though cause we're still friends.
