Was reading thru the Drunken Rambling thread and it seems some of us have had some bad dates. Here's a thread to tell all about them.
I once had a blind date with a woman I met over the Internet. After some e-mail exchanges, I asked for her phone number, but she wanted to see a picture of me first to make sure I wasn't a psycho. I e-mailed her back saying if I was a psycho, I'd send her a picture of a male model, and then once I gained her trust I'd stalk her She appreciated my sense of humor and gave me her number.
We talked over the phone and she agreed to have dinner with me. We described ourselves so we could recognize each other when we met at the restaurant. I arrived about 5 minutes early, walked thru the door, and saw the short blond waiting near the hostess stand. As I approached her, I gave a little wave, and she waved back, so when I reached her I leaned in and gave her a little kiss on the cheek. She looked surprised, then said, "uhm, do you need a table?" It was the hostess.
I turned beet red and started apologizing profusely. I could see a couple of waiters laughing at my blunder. The hostess tried to calm me down and asked again if i wanted a table. I told her I needed a drink, and she showed me to the bar.
A few minutes later my date showed up, and I told her what happened. She laughed, and we sat down for our dinner. About 5 minutes into our conversation she says, "so I guess you and I are just going to be friends."
I said, "well, I'm not sure why you are thinking that after just 5 minues of conversation?"
She replied, "I just don't feel the need to jump across the table and rip your clothes off."
OK
Things went downhill from there. She started flirting with our waiter (I thought, ok, she'll leave with the waiter and I'll leave with the hostess). She got very drunk during dinner, and then started shouting to other patrons in the restaurant (and she wondered if I was a psycho?). I could tell others in the restaurant were getting annoyed with her, and I was getting embarrassed.
Needless to say, we skipped dessert, said goodnight and never saw each other again.
She replied, "I just don't feel the need to jump across the table and rip your clothes off."
now i'm a pretty considerate person, but if i was ever told that right to me face i would have -no- compulsions about just standing right up without a word and walking out ;D
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

I once went on a date with a guy I met online through a service. We lived in different towns so we decided to meet at a restaurant. During dinner, he kept making animal shapes out of his mashed potatoes. He never spoke. He hardly even made eye contact.
We didn't speak again.
I went on another date with a different guy that I met through the same service. The date was fine, but I didn't "feel" anything for him. He kept calling me over and over again saying how much he liked me and wanted to be with me. Then he started showing up at my apartment professing his LOVE for me...when I was on another date with a guy that I actually liked and he liked me back. Let's just say that the psycho scared the other guy off and that was the end of that.
(I did eventually meet my "soulmate" and we've been together for 3.5 years now.) Dating sucks!
I don't do blind dates because I'm always afraid something like that may happen, I end up going on dates with girls I've been friends with since middle school, lol, and they always end up pretty funny. The closest thing I ever got to a blind date, I guess was once me, my friends and his then gilrfriend went to eat with one of her friends, thinking we may start to like each other or something. Now I'm the kinda guy, you'd be able to tell within the first few minutes of meeting me whether you like me or you don't, because I always act like myself: crazy. The girl wasn't so high on a guy who liked to laugh during dinner, and she let me know it. And then I proceeded to let her know that I've got 500 babies stored away in the basement, so I'm not gonna be missing any of her action.
I know, kinda sounds immature, but I was 16 at the time, and still in my "do anything for a laugh phase." Whenever I can remember (with clarity)more bad dates, I'll post em, cuz I have a few.

Had a friend who was dating this girl who had this friend. So naturally, they figured we should hook up. So we did the double-date thing, discovered we had absolutely nothing in common, fake laughed at each other's jokes all night, and wound up in bed together. Next morning, we agreed it was the worst night of each others lives; even the sex was mutually horrid (possibly the one genuine laugh we ever shared). We both swore we'd never let the couple pick dates for each other again. Although I wouldn't say we ever became friends, we did share a certain commradry, if only because we could hang out without worrying about getting hit on by the other.

I want to die just thinking about that. Seriously some people are completely insane.
I could write a book abut my dating experiences. One that sticks out is a guy who I also met on internet dating site, who kept on going on and on about the fact that 'he was poor, and had 'no money' (this is before we met) I kept on telling him that i didnt care about things like that and lets just meet up and have fun.
p.s. he picks me up in a brand new BMW. OKAY i think, he does have money and is just completely weird about it. We have an OKAY time but there was definatley no chemistry.
the next day he IM's me. He tells me to call his personal assistant (he is 26 with his own business) to set up our next date. I said to him 'do most girls call your PA' and he said 'yes' and i said 'interesting. im not most girls'
After being married for 10.5 years - I found myself divorced and back in the middle of dating at 32 years old with two kids.
Here comes the internet - seemed like a logical place to meet people with stuff in common. Well I talked to one guy for almost a month - finally agreed to meet him for dinner - it was a fairly nice dinner - until he asked about my soon - to - be ex husband (which was a little wierd itself) and I told him that my ex was living with my former best friend - I mentioned the girls name and ofund out that he had been out with her the previous weekend and spent the night at her house while my ex was out of town working -
That pretty much ended the date - I never did tell my ex what I knew - and now he is married to her - karma always comes back to kick you in the ass somehow.
LOL - at least I can honestlky say - I was not born here - so I am not a true Mississippian. But my current husband is and he is the one I should have married the first time around.

I met another woman on the internet, and after some emails she gave me her number. I called her, and we spoke for over an hour on the phone, but had nothing in common - didn't like the same music, movies, tv, books, nothing. But - she spoke with a slight lisp that over the phone sounded incredibly sexy.. so much so that I still had to ask her out (what can I tell ya, I'm a guy).
She agreed to a dinner date, and I picked her up at her apartment. I remember how anxious I was to see what she looked like and to hear that sexy lisp in person. Well.. it turns out the lisp was actually caused by a horrible dental condition in which every tooth in her upper jaw was misaligned, with several protruding out onto her lower lip.
Being a gentleman, I still took her out to dinner (but I just couldn't look at her face). And of course, since we had talked for an hour on the phone and had nothing in common, we had virtually nothing to talk about during our date.
I remember driving her home after dinner and her hinting that she would be up for doing something else. I lied to her, saying I was up late the night before and was reallllly tired and just wanted to go home. I still feel a little bad about that, but man, those teeth just made me cringe.
Oh how about this one - this was not a blind date and not a first date but I started dating a guy that I had been friends with for years. We had been out several times but he had recently gotten rather possessive - anyway - he comes to my apartment - I cooked dinner and we were sitting there eating dinner with my two girls - when he passes gas - at the dinner table - rather loudly and rather obviously - and does not say excuse me or anything - when he saw me looking at him - he just looked back and me and said 'what?" Needless to say - we did not go out again.

therein lies the age-old question: to be brutally honest and tell someone what you -really- think at the cost of their feelings, or to tell a little white lie to spare them?
in my past i always used to choose the white lie...lately i've been finding myself being more honest/direct, but tactfully of course.
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

I think I dated him, too! haha...kidding.
On the gas note...I dated a guy a couple times that lived several cities over...we had just met once before and he took me to his house and was crouched down looking at some magazines on his floor when one darted out of there and into the atmosphere. No "excuse me", nothing.
The thought of that man makes me hate myself to this day...not because of the gas, but that didn't help. Plus he had pubic hair all over his kitchen.
this is possibly the greatest thread ever.... i had to double check with my best friend but i've never had a bad date...bad sex i've had, but no bad dates....i would've rather had bad dates....

I just might keep my sex stories to myself, afterall.... ;D
I can add another story to this thread, though. (jeesh...I must have been on a lot of bad dates!).
I met this guy online and we hit it off immediately. We talked with each other for a few months before meeting. We met at the mall, had a good lunch, had a great time together because we had a lot in common.
Don't judge me, but we ended up getting a hotel to have some "fun" with each other. After we were done, he said to me, "I will give you three guesses at the secret I have."

^^^yeah - but how much do ya have to go through to find the good ones, huh? I am lucky - I did the "retro-date" thing and called up an old boyfriend from 15 years ago and we both realized we should have been together all along - but oh - the horror stories of dating just to find that one "good" one
She appreciated my sense of humor and gave me her number.
