I dated someone in highschool who later decided he wasn't into women... It was a little awkward when I found out about his change in preference. Thankfully we were no longer together!
Uhm, yeah, I dated a gay guy in college. He later told me that I was his last resort, and figured if anyone was hot enough to turn him straight it was me. Uhm, thanks... I think?!?!
edit: I think his singing along to Britney Spears' "Toxic" on the way to a party should have tipped me off...
Oh gosh my dating stories are awful and funny!
I had one guy that I dated for a few months. I called it off with him because it was going anywhere. He beat me brother up the following week! NO lie. More poor brother didnt' even know the guy. The guy told him "this is for your sister"
One guy was soo stuck on himself. He wore his shirt un-bottoned with no undershirt to our date. He was 30 mins late because he fell asleep in the bubble bath listening to the jazz music. He called to let me know he was running late and to get a glass of wine. I left after he showed up in his way too cool for school outfit and attitude!
Another guy took me to the movies and told me don't talk. I hate it when people talk in movies. The problem... he texted someone throughout the whole movie. Thought you weren't suppose to talk?
I could go on and on! these are just the shortest to tell
In college I met a guy who talked about wrestling (he was a wrestler in high school) and himself the entire time we were hanging out on our first and last date (really just in the dorm room, lounging around). It wasn't a conversation, it was him talking and me saying "Mmhmm." I remember he said his letter jacket had so many pins/letters on it, someone asked him if they could try it on to see how heavy it was.
I had a guy I had dated a few times call me and full out tell me that he didn't respect me, he just wanted to hook up. I was so floored I ended up calling my friend wondering if he had heard of that before. That friend is now my longtime BF. :-D
One of my online dating horror stories! I was contacted by a doctor who lived out of state. He was charming! Ridiculously charming and intelligent - exactly what I had wanted. He even wanted to fly soon to meet me, but thankfully a snow storm delayed it!
After hours of talking on the phone and emails, his info checked out! CHA CHING! He was truthful!
But then... he started to crack. I noticed he had beyond the normal amount of narcissisim. And he was angry, because evidently he was bullied in highschool.
This beautiful, potential-laden doctor actually had psychopathic traits, one of which being the uncanny ability to read and emulate emotions. He never talked about anything other than his body, his "stupid" patients, his horrible highschool experience... until he started saying we were destined to be with each other and I was to be his wife. When I laughed, he became angry and hung up the phone.
Doctor = FAIL, I split ASAP!
i think my worst date was a jdate. we started talking right before valentine's day, and i told him i didn't want to go out on valentines day- so of course he sets the date for valentine's day. i said i wanted something casual like coffee, and he picked a super fancy restaurant. so i was on a super fancy valentine's date with a guy i just met, who was way shorter than he said he was, and everything he said was awful! he said bad things about black people, about gay people, about adopting people, everything out of his mouth was offensive. and then when i didn't want a second date, he didn't get why.
lol! i have met the "married" one...only i didn't know he was married until after it ended. jerk! i had a guy break up with me after i think 2 weeks or so high school and he told everyone i was a crazy psycho and i called him constantly (complete lie). he didn't know what to think when i said screw it and just embraced the title. even showed up one day with a shirt that said cute but psycho..things even out! lol! i dated one guy that made me feel like i was babysitting instead of dating him.
anyone have anybody break up with them in completely cowardly way?
i've had a guy leave a note on my car while i was at work and one guy had his sister tell me! lol! seriously? am i that scary? lol!
I went on a date, and he brought his friend for support! Um, ok???
Best date avoided:
I used to go out every Friday with a group of girls/guys, and we were always friendly with whomever else was also at “our bar”. So one night we were chatting with this guy from out of town (who was some head exec at Kraft foods- we googled him later), and he asked if I/my friends wanted to go out the next night, then him and he on a date later. Said he was single. I said ok, we made casual plans, my friend and I exchanged numbers with him so he could call us tomorrow.
He said he had to go back to his hotel for the night, so he left but apparently got *super* drunk later that night and called me 14 times in a row. Called my friend 8 times, looking for me, and left 2 voicemails in which he literally *cried* and was crying because I wouldn’t pick up and he wanted to plan our date.
Needless to say, there was no date.
About two weeks later my friend and I both got calls from his wife, wondering who we were since he called us so many times in the middle of the night! LOL!! Awkward!!
LOL! I had the married one, too. I went out on a second date with him after finding out he not only lied about his age by 10 years, but that he shared property with his wife who lived in California. I spent the entire evening playing around with his white lies. At the end of the night, he walked me to my car and I let him know I knew he was married. I also told him I would NOT tell his wife, but perhaps this would be a wake-up call. The look on his face was priceless. Absolutely priceless.
I was mostly a serial monogamist, not really dating but rather having long-term boyfriends. But in my first year of grad school I dated around after going through a really bad breakup.
The WORST date I had in that period of time, my worst date ever actually, was with this one guy from the physics department (I'm in astronomy) who I met at a party at a friend's house. We hit it off at the party and he was really nice and stuff, so when he asked me out I agreed.
He took me to HOOTERS.
Uh-huh.
"I just like their chicken wings!" he insisted.
Yah, right. If by "chicken wings" he meant "the waitresses boobs and butts", sure, of course he liked chicken wings! *eyeroll*
That was my first and last date with that guy.
in college i went on a blind date with this one guy who i knew i wasn't into right away, but apparently i'm too nice and polite, because he thought we had a really strong connection or something. he insisted on walking me back to my dorm after dinner, even though i kept saying i had to go write a paper, and was trying to make out with me...the next day--ie, the day i had told him i was busy writing a paper--he called me not once. not twice. not three times---SEVEN times! and left me multiple ims. i finally talked to him a couple days later and he was pissed i didn't want to go out again because he had already broken it off with a bunch of other girls he'd been seeing because he thought i was the "one." and this was after a date where i basically just smiled and nodded the whole time and kept talking about how i needed to go write a paper....
I had another date where he took a BUMP AT THE TABLE. No joke. He was gradually leaning more and more towards the other chair while he was talking, and I saw his hand slowly go towards his coat pocket... and out... and then he turned his head and acted like he had congestion. He also ordered my food for me, and spent an hour talking about why the US should legalize the drug trade. All this from a financial analyst.
At the end of the night, he invited me to go watch "Comcast" with him. Um, taxi?
Classic date line: “I’m really excited for our date. You seem like a really nice girl. My ex-wife left me for another woman, by the way.”
HAHA – he actually was a really nice guy, we just didn’t click.
@guffee- The cowardly break-up I had. I was dating this guy for 6 months. We went out with some friends to a bar. I went to the restroom and when I came back he was gone. I texted him "where are you" he replied "I left, it's over". He wouldn't reply back to my texts/calls as to why. Totally weird. Nothing happened.
@rosiegirl- I had someone bring his friend on a date and the friend was weird so I took that as a good thing. Weird friend might= weird date.
Yes I've had the married guy before too. We were in grad-school together. Had 3-4 classes each semester together. He never mentioned a wife and went out with other girls in our class. We started dating. Went to Europe together Christmas break. He acted odd on our trip. Would leave the room in the middle of the night. So when we got back to school I started noticing all the times he was MIA. Turns out he was married and the wife lived back home. So sometimes he would go home on the weekends to see her and then sometimes she'd come to visit him which was when he was MIA. Crazy!
Coke bump at the table FTW
I went on a date once where I'm 99.9% sure the guy went and did blow in the bathroom during dinner. Needless to say we did not have a second date. At least share, dude. J/K :)
Oh my. So many. The "best" is this guy I dated for 2 weeks, when he wasn't making any moves (hadn't even kissed!) I asked him what was up. He then told me that he really was never into me and he was only dating me because he thought he could convert me to Catholic (which I already am anyways). Then he said he couldn't continue dating me because he thought he was being called to the priesthood. He never went by the way. My friends and family have dubbed him "priest-boy".
WOW @the druggie dates! Just...wow...
I've mostly been a serial monogamist, so no good date stories, but I broke up with a guy once, after about a month. Aaaand, he started sobbing. In the middle of a parking lot. At his job. When everyone was leaving the office.
That was awkward.
My bad date: So the guy decides that we should meet at his apartment before dinner since the restaurant is close by. When I get to his apartment, it is decorated with framed pictures of Confederate Generals. Like more than 20 of them. He proceeds to tell me which ones are his favorite and that he had his apartment painted in official reproduction paint of so-and-so general's homestead. Then he takes me to dinner at a place called "Big Daddy's" which has a girl in a bikini swinging from a trapeze and doing tricks over the tables. Needless to say, I was "not feeling well" and had to make it an early evening. Luckily I met FH the same week!
I have been dating FI since high school, but I once went on a date with a guy (he asked me, by the way) and after dinner he burped and said "You're paying right?"
I went on a date with a guy who worked for Enterprise and wouldn't shut up the whole time about how he got to drive the Cadillac anytime he wanted. I just wanted to pipe up and be like, "dude -- you don't own that car. Get over it."
When I was in grad school, I met a guy in Target and we chatted and he seemed really sweet and nice. We made plans to go for a drink later that week. I got to the date and during the whole date he talked about how he'd spent the last 10 years of his life selling/buying/making drugs. And ... I'm not begrudging anyone their past, because a lot of times people make mistakes, but seriously -- the entire time that's all he talked about. Not even a casual question about your family or your studies or your pets. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Haha, some of these are hilarious! I have had the married man not once but twice! I had some bad luck in my dating years. Also one of the married men lied about sleeping with a friend of mine after I broke up with him!
The worst date I ever had, I met this guy at a lingerie party (yeah it was college), I was not in lingerie because I was invited by a friend and didn't know it was a lingerie party etc. Anyway I met this guy we decided to go out. He took me to see a move called "Shortbus", kind of a good film, but at the time I was completely shocked, think country girl living in the big city kind of shocked. Google it if you have never heard of it, esp the first scene and you will see what shocked me.
Later we went to a cafe, where he proceeds to tell me he lied to me about his age. I was a junior in college, he was a freshman, but had led me to believe he was my age. Told me that within the last 6 months not only had he knocked up one girl, he knocked up TWO girls and convinced them BOTH to have abortions.
He didn't get a second date.
I went out on a date with a guy who was 20 minutes late. He began the date by saying, "I'm sorry I'm late! I have a surprise for you!"
Really? What?
"I just bought a new Mercedes!"
I mean... how is that a surprise for me? Did you buy it for me? He was nice but not what I was looking for at all. :/
Lol, these stories make me glad I met my husband in college. I didn't have much time for bad dates!
@otb -- LOL! Shortbus is NOT a movie to go see on a first date!! It's basically porn but with an actual plot. I'd be freaked out if a guy took me to see that on a first date! That's the kind of movie to either go watch with a group of friends, for the lulz, or to watch privately with a bf or something, but not on a first date.
I went on one date with a guy and the actual date wasn't too bad. But the next day he called me to tell me that he had been internet-corresponding with a married woman halfway across the country and felt that he wanted to persue that relationship. I was like "ok- you do that!" HUGE bullet dodged!
I went on a druggie date too! He left, during our date, to go smoke. then came back and just sat there!
I was on a first date with a guy when some friends of his showed up at the same restaurant. He introduced me as the wrong name. It was our last date.
ooooooooooh yeah. where do I start?! unfortunately I had a VERY BAD RUN of bad luck with guys...
I guess though I'll tell you about "psycho"...i met this guy off match.com - we went out for about 3 weeks (no sex, which is an important part of the story)...anyways, I was also sorta seeing this "friend with benefits" - who I later moved in with (yeah, I know wierd...) but anyways...
The very first date he called me up the next day to ask if I had been wearing deoderant because he realized that I had a "smell" to me that was apparantly unpleasent (um, ok, I WAS wearing deoderant and he must not have liked the scent)...
I let that go, and we started dating and he was SO incredibly clingy yet at the same time very distant...one day we were making out at his place and I didn't realize it til after we were in the middle of the makeout session, but I had a huge cold sore. :(
He absolutely FLIPPED on me screaming that I had "herpes" and all this that and the other (yes, technically cold sores are herpes virus...)
So I left and just thought of other crazy things he had done and realized I didn't want to date hime anymore...(sorry there are more details but I can't remember them all as this was 6 years ago...). So I went over to this other guy's house that I had been previously seeing (the FWB I mentioned)...I had my cell phone on vibrate and didn't realize it til the next morning - the guy called me 10 times in the middle of the night wondering where I was.
I decided that morning NEVER to see him again. Later that day he showed up at my workplace and started all "I'm so sorry, I miss you, spend the night tonight and we can do whatever you want" (see told you the no sex was relevant - thank GOD we never did!)
Yeah - the girls I was working with at the time were ready to call the cops on him - I shoulda let them.
I told him to *** off and never talk to me again. He emailed me a website about "committment issues"...and I never heard from him again.
Scary thing - I met another guy about a year later on match.com we were exchanging stories, I told him about this guy and he said he knew this guy - as a girlf friend of his met this same guy on match and he pretty much did the same thing to her!
I don't have any entertaining stories...but go to www.myveryworstdate.com I just found it yesterday, so it's really funny that this post came up today!
There was a guy I met when he was fighting with his then GF and he was so sweet and sad and flirted with me. And we had like everything in common. I was roommates with his best female friend, and female friend told me that his GF really was that bad and they really were about over, etc., reassuring me. So he dumps her and asks me out two days later. Should have been a red flag. Yeah, we saw each other everyday for a week, and then that Friday night, when we are in the car on our way to visit some of his friends, whom I'd never met, at their college an hour a way, he tells me he'd rather just be friends. So that was a completely awkward night. The best part is that the next day, he and his ex-GF come knocking at my door (he lived two doors down) because they were locked out and wanted to borrow my phone. He introduced her as his GF and acted like I was nobody. I found out afterwards that they were broken up and got back together the day he dumped me and he told her that we'd just kissed once. Yeah, even though he had introduced me to his parents as his new GF! I am so glad that at least it was quick and I didn't fall too hard for him, though it still hurt and was a crappy thing to do.
I never dated much because I was young and just focused on school. These guys around school were dogs why I didn't date. When I got to college, unfortunately, I met the charmer. He was the most charming guy in the world. He was popular, cool with everyone, and got away with murder in class. Professors loved to hate him and hated to love him. I got sucked in too!! He took me to a burger joint no..Red Robins, which on a regular day whatever I wouldn't care, but he had done some crazy stuff to me months prior to us going out and this was an "apology dinner." He should have stepped it up a bit. Luckily, I never had a crazy date that I wanted to run from. There was this one guy I was talking to that I knew if I went out with him he would probably try to rape more or something sounded like one of those creepers.
Shortly after I seperated from my ex husband, I moved in with my then best friend, who thought she knew what was best for me. We also have way different taste in men. She was getting married, so she decided that we should join a gym, so I was like "okay, whatever." There were four of us girls. So, anyway, the gym manager got us all signed up and gave us a tour and he kept making little jokes with me and trying to flirt. My friends were all gaga, googly-eyes over him, and he was cute, BUT he was totally not my type. So, anyway, I didn't realize that he was into me, but he kept showing up at the gym when we were there, no matter what time it was. And then when I said that I didn't want to pay for the gym anymore (bc I hated going and there was a group of girls who were snarky to me), he comped me 3 months. I didn't know that my "friends" were cluing him in when we'd be there. Anyway I wasn't biting. He was really super nice, though, very sweet and sincere. So, he started showing up at the boutique I worked in, bringing me coffee and stuffed animals and candy. I asked him to stop, I wasn't ready to date, yadda yadda yadda. My stupid friends told him I was actually dating, and furthermore, started inviting him to hang out with us, etc. I think they all had crushes on him. So, I finally gave in and went out with him. He went all out, finding out my favorite everything, had the table at the restaurant set up with tons of candles and flowers. He was dressed so nice and gave me a HUGE bouquet of roses. I hadn't even showered for the date. It was my favorite place and the walk after around downtown would have been perfect if we had anything in common, but we didn't. So he took me home, and I thought that was that. Well, it wasn't. He told my friends that it was so great and he really liked me, etc. Really?? I was trying to give off the bored vibe. So, I went out with him again, and planned to tell him that it wasn't working for me. While we were on the date, I inadvertantly agreed to be his date for an upcoming party. DRAT! Anyway, the sushi was so good, so I just went with it, and tried to have a good time. At the end of the night, I got the WORST, MOST AWKWARD, FELT LIKE I WAS KISSING A CHIHAHUA KISS. It was so bad. THEN, he hands me a mix tape. Um, great, thanks Ryan. Good night. The tape was full, both sides, of him singing love songs to me. Using my name. I laughed so hard. It was really wierd (and oddly enough, not the first time a man had done that, the other one was my high school math teacher, but that's a different story). My friends thought I was crazy for thinking it was weird and he told them he was so into me and thought he was falling in love. Whatev, weirdo. There's more to the story, but I ended at the birthday party a few days later when he started calling me his girl. I guess he was heartbroken. I still claim my friends led him on, but whatever. They asked me to stop going to the gym. So, I think it worked out for me!
The summer between high school and college I went on a date with a friend of a friend. He didn't say where we were going out to eat, so I assumed it was a normal restaurant. I wore hawaiian skirt, white halter and sandals. We get to the restaurant and it's SUPER fancy- like people are wearing suits and long formal dresses fancy. I have never felt more uncomfortable or out of place with what I was wearing. He of course dressed in dark jeans and a sportscoat so he kinda sorta fit in. Quite frankly I am supirsed they let me in! Regardless, a heads up that we were going to an over the top, fancy smancy resteraunt would have been nice.
Anyway, at the time I didn't have a debit card/credit cards and only used cash for purchses. Upon viewing the menu, I had serious sticker shock. Steaks were $80+, sides were $15+. Needless to say, I didn't carry that kind of cash, so the whole time I was stressing how I was going to cover my half if that's how he wanted to split the meal. The conversation was mediocre, and we didn't have a lot in common. He ended up paying for the meal, thank goodness, and I was happy to get out of the place.
After that night we never went out again. He told me to "call him", which I don't do anyway, and if I made an exception, it wouldn't have been him. In the end he told our mutual friend that he was annoyed, and peeved that I ordered my steak "well done" as it "reuined" the steak- I thought it was delicious and ate it all up!
In middle school I dated a guy and he had his friend call me to break up with me.
I've also had a couple bad experiences with online dating where guys TOTALLY misprepresent how tall they are, what they look like, etc. One guy said he was 5'8" and was actually 5'2"! I'm 5'1"! I was taller than him with heels!
Also, I once dated this gorgeous australian lawyer who was never available, but on our 3rd date he insisted on watching a movie at my apt b/c he was 'exhausted and so busy' and of course asked me to have sex. I of course said no and he grabbed his movie and left right away. Awkward!
My fun ones:
- I had a third date or so that I asked the guy out on, so I paid. Went to a nice restaurant, then to the ballet. It was Dracula, modern but very accesible. He made fun of it the whole time. I was like, really? You think I bought ballet tickets to sit here and mock it?
- I had a couple of dates with a guy right after I broke off a long relationship where we, um, never left the house. 
It was fun, he was, uh, skilled, but kind of immature. So I told him I had fun but was moving on. He FREAKED OUT, like we had been dating for years. Still writes to me sometimes for career advice. WTF?
- A really nice guy I dated for a while took me to his office Christmas party. He worked for the math department at our university, so it started off pretty slow. I'm really gregarious, but these were not the most socially skilled people. Then the music started, and we dance, and, now, I am not a good dancer, but he was AWEFUL. All over the dance floor, like a chicken or something. And we were like the only couple dancing. I was already kind of over him, so the next week I told him I didn't want to see him anymore. Another freak out. This was a three month relationship.
My worst (and only!) bad date was right before I went out with my now-fiance, whom I met online. I had signed up for OkCupid, and agreed to go out with this guy that I wasn't super excited about against my better judgement.
We met at this ice cream store in Hunter's Point (a really ghetto area of SF) and he decided that we would walk around the neighborhood for our date.
1. I was wearing heels
2. The neighborhood was ALL steep hills
3. It was a ghetto!
The date itself was ok, he funny but we didn't mesh at all, he was a vegan who didn't drink, and I'm a carnivore who loves booze. When I had to leave, he asked me for a ride home because he had taken the bus. That was fine, except he didn't know how to get back to his house. I didn't have a phone with GPS and neither did he, so I had to drive around for over an hour with this dude I was now totally sick of and not into at all.
When we finally got to his house, he asked me if I wanted to go out again, and I lied and said "yes" just to get him out of my car!
This isn't technically a bad date, but the weirdest breakup ever~
I had been casually seeing this guy for a few months, and he apparently decided he wasn't into it anymore, so instead of being up front with me, he decided to stop answering my calls and lock himself in his apartment for an entire week because he was severely depressed and off his meds.
I honestly didn't care that he wanted to break up, it's just that the week before we were totally fine, and the last I saw of him was that he was falling into depression and freaking out about not being able to get more of his medication.
So here I thought he had killed himself or something because he wouldn't answer my calls or let me in, I even had his super go check on him. Turns out the asshole couldn't break up with me while in his depressive stupor. Oh well, he was a crazy ex-heroin addict, so no big loss :)
