Bad Dates??

Anyone here had one of those dates that's funny looking back at, but you thought horrible when it was occuring? Fess up!

I remember one. I was going on a group date with this guy, his sister and her boyfriend. We went to the movies to see The Lion King. Afterward we were just cruising around shooting the breeze and listening to the radio. Well the Chicken dance song came on. And the guy driving stopped the car and they all got out and proceeded to due the chicken dance. I had no clue to what or even how to do the Chicken dance, and was so embarrassed. And there was no second date. :wah:

When I finally was old enough to go the bar, I found out there were alot of people who knew the chicken dance. Guess I'm just not a waddle waddle, clap, clap, kind of girl.

With my ex BF, every date was a bad date. That is why he is my EX. I broke it off not long after I saw his reaction to hearing my brother was wealthy. The eyes lit up, and suddenly he was talking about wanting to get married.

I think I have one of the record worst dates of all time. I had gone out with a quiet studious looking fellow I met my freshman year of college. He was always hanging around me but didn't have much to say, it seemed. So he takes me canoing in an area I couldn't recognize at all. First, he was so bad for speeding that going around the twisting roads from my parents, I could see the canoe turn in the shadow!:eek: Then we get in the middle of nowhere and he intentionally turns the canoe over. Good thing I can swim, and we go over to a inlet or island where I can see no signs of human habitation:-2 Then, he decides to tell me about himself. He says he is really into satanism:-3 Ok, by now, I have had it and am shaking scared. So, I decide I've got to make a bad impression and start telling him how I love Donnie and Marie! Something finally worked because he took me home. He followed me for months after that. I was always ducking into the ladies room or joining into someone else's conversation, but I had all I could take of him and had no idea how to ditch him. When I started dating someone else, he went away:) I may have posted this story before, it's hard to remember where I tell my stories...

I had a blind date with a guy I met on the internet...I got to the resturant alittle late, at that it was a buffett style rest. nothing fancy...he brought his kids, I brought mine...and he started eating before I got there...He was so disgusting and rude that I couldn't eat...I paid for my kids and I to eat, I ate VERY little...and usually I LOVE to eat there...but ummm, it took everything for me to wait for the kids to get full, I chose to talk to them more than him, he would interrupt me and have crude comments...so I really tried to ignore him and send the "EWWEEE, I think you are ICKY" signals...I got home and he IM'd me and asked what was wrong and to be honest. I don't like to hurt anyone's feelings, even though he gave me the heebie jeebies!! So, I just said, I don't feel a connection...or something nice and general...he came back with "well you are to BIG for me anyway!!--UGH...

yes, I've never met anyone from the internet again...if that's what you are wondering!!

Come on over here sweetie and tell me all about his bank balance....oops! I mean his eyes!

Are they green? hehe

And when you see him tell him his eyes are beautiful as they reflect the full moon off the ocean in the chill of January.

I'm available to fly over anytime and be given a 5 star hotel suite to stay in while I wait to meet him!

Sheryl, fun topic.

My first date was a weirdo. Either that 0r he was so surprised I said yes that he didn't know how to act. We went to the drive-in movie. He went to get popcorn and instead of getting out of the car door, he threw his legs out the window and climbed out that way. Moron. I was turned off by the popcorn crumbs stuck in his beard. He was so afraid to put his arm around me that I could almost hear him counting down before he did it and then he lobbed it over my shoulders with a thud- seriously.

Appropo of not a damn thing, he said "last time I went to the drive-in I was sorry for a week after." I said why? He said "Because I zipped my d*ck in my fly." What girl wants to hear this? Then during the movie something happened that made him think of oral sex and he proceeded to tell me how he had "earned his vampire wings." Ya know.....all I wanted to do was go on a date for the first time and get it over with. I didn't even like the guy. He was a real charmer.

At my door that night he said "don't I get a kiss?" I was like "Aw sh*t." Woulda rather eaten thumbtacks. So he went to kiss me and he *missed.* Finally I gave him a perfunctory and got the heck in the door.

Later at school I completely ignored him because he was so gross. He told people he liked me for my "ass."

I'm glad it was that because my charming personality woulda been lost on the clown.

My god,..I'm starting to feel sorry for you ladies...

I am ashamed to even be associated with such barbaric, unsophisticated, pig-headed disgust.

It's things like this that serve as a reminder to me that there is a such thing as not treating a lady like a princess. :yh_sungla :yh_wink :yh_flower

I've had alot of dates - more funny than bad.

Redglitter & a few others experienced guys/dates, when the guy doesn't know how to talk to a female. I don't want to date a guy who tells me about gutting a elk, or the zipper trick, etc..

There have only been a couple guys, maybe 3, that I dated only once for what ever reason. And a few I should've never dated at all.!!

I dated a guy for about 6 months my freshman year of high school. We fought like cats and dogs so I finally broke up with him. 7 years later, after I divorced, we ran into each other. We decided to go to the drive in. I was so sick of him by the end of the movie and he insisted on walking me in. I asked him to leave, he wouldn't, so I locked myself in the bathroom and refused to come out until he left. He left, we never saw each other again, and I'm happy about that. :wah:

Then there was Dallas. He was a short order cook and I was freshly single after being married and I went on a date with him. He picked me up in his broken down dirty van and in our conversation proceeded to tell me he had beat Hodgkins disease. Well that part was cool but then he attributed it to his mother giving him coffee enemas. Some things you don't want to hear on a first date or ever really. We stopped at Kmart so he could buy new sheets for his bed and he told me to pick them out because I'd be using them too. I was stunned. Remember I was fresh out of a marriage and felt dumped back into the meat market.

We grabbed a soda where we got barged in on by his friend who went to the movie with us. Dallas whips out his drivers license to show me how old he was (32, I was 23) and made an issue about whether or not I would think he was too old for me. Then he said I "smelled nice" and my fingernails were pretty because you know, women with those false nails, they always look crappy but mine looked real nice. I felt weird and on display. Then he says to me and his friend "Like my new boots? Yellow Front- fifteen bucks!" We walked to the movie and on the way he told everyone we came upon about how they could get boots for fifteen bucks at Yellow Front. In the movie, (Born on the Fourth of July) nothing happened and that was fien by me. Then we got out and in te van he thanked me for not "hanging on" him like some women do and that "when he wants to make out he'll make out but when he wants to see a movie he doesn't wanna make out."

We then went to a cafe and ate while he told me about how he could hear his new neighbors "christening" their new couch the night before. I'm not a prude but I hate sex references with guys I don't even know. Then we went to a bar and it was way too loud so we couldn't talk too much. He asked me about renting a cabin in the mountains and I told him that wouldn't be happening. On the way home he wanted to sit in a parking lot and hold hands all while telling me how lonely he was. Thank God there was no kiss waiting because I would have bailed.

So the next day he hand delivered a rose to my workplace with a card that said "It may sound puppylike but you're my sunshine in life." This after one date.

The next day he called me and TOLD ME to "get all dolled up" because he was coming over to cook me and my family dinner. Ok, any other guy and this would have been charming except that I do not take orders from men and I didn't WANT to get dolled up for him. He wouldn't listen to no and he showed up with groceries and started going to work. He told me to slice the tomatoes and then he didn't like how I did it. I'm a woman. I was born knowing how to cook. Nobody needs to tell me in my own kitchen how to cut a tomato! So we ate dinner an dmade small talk. My dad at some point had to blow his nose so he excused himself and went down the hall.

The next day Dallas called me to tell me *what a great guy my dad was and what great manners he had to have excused himself to blow his nose.* He went on and ON about this. Isn't that what a decent person does anyway? He just couldn't get over my dad's great manners.

So by this time I'd decided I gave him plenty of a fair chance and I wasn't ready to date anyone anyway. I kept thinking how my husband would never have treated me this way and been a weirdass when we were dating. He spoiled me and always treated me like a princess, and set the bar for all men to come. Dallas wasn't cutting it. He was badgering my mom at work and going on with HER about my dad's nose blowing manners (I'm serious about this, y'all) and my mom knew I was NOT interested in teh least and she thought he was a screwball too so she did my begging off for me. Told him I wasn't ready to see other people yet. Then he left town.

I still feel gross when I think about him.

Ok, I was EXTREMELY SHY till I was way into my 20's so my Aunt JoAnn sets me up with an very shy fellow. I dated him 6 mos. We never had a conversation.

In fact, I would have broken up with him after the first date, but I didn't expect he would come back after a full afternoon and evening of nothing at all. I was too careful of hurting his feelings to tell him to just go away, so after a month or more of calling off dates due to headaches, he finally gave up.

Then, a guy from work asks me for a date. I wasn't too sure about him, but I thought, you never know. He no sooner gets out of his truck than he kicks at one of my cats and starts telling me how he hates cats. I had no problem telling him to get back in his truck and go home. No one comes over and tries to kick one of my cats. I had 11 back then. Every time a cat came in where my sister worked at the vets and the last adoption day came up, she would call and say the girls took up a collection to spay or neuter it, and I took it in. By the 11th cat, she changed jobs.

Then there was the guy I had to kick:( I guess he thought he deserved a reward for taking me to Pizza Hut. I thought not.

I dated one guy for years who brought me a hot dog for supper every single night! I don't actually like hot dogs, but I ate the first several just to be nice, after that it was hard to turn around and admitt I didn't like them. I had to break it off with him because he said the woman he married had to look like Pam Dawber who played Mindy on Mork and Mindy ... Which I don't.

I had two stalkers, one old man who was supposed to be a genius by his IQ, but for some reason seemed to only like women who were repelled by him and one fellow who told me he was actually a millionaire who worked in our company only for entertainment. He also had regular conversations with President Regan (he was President then) and seemed to have a new surgery every week or so:-3

Those are just the highlights:wah:

Gotta love guys like that! NOT!

My sister introduced me to a guy. We were there for about 1/2 hour. He kept calling me every night and talking about marriage, how cute our children would be, etc. Finally, after 2 weeks of trying to nicely tell him this wasn't going to happen, I blew up. I think I said something like, "Will you shut up and listen to what I've been telling you all along? There is no us. We are NOT getting married, we are NOT having children. If you EVER want this to happen with any woman I suggest you know her a heck of a lot longer before you start talking this kind of crap. Do not, I repeat do NOT ever call me again." He finally got the message. You just can't be nice to some people.

Not to get off the subject but this reminded me of my Aunt...she did this to a guy when she was a teenager....not to that extreme, he just followed her everywhere and finally one day she told him to STOP....leave her alone, so he did...well, ummmm about 30 years later or more...He is now her 2nd husband and they are living happily ever after....they hooked up again on the internet about 4-5 years ago have been married I think for 3 years now...She is so happy with him...weird huh??
