Worst Dating Experience?

Orlando_Virgin

As I'm preparing for a date this weekend I thought I'd encourage myself by hearing some bad date stories, so I can think - "it can't possibly go as badly as that".

I've had a few, no conversation, awkwardness, talking about their ex all the time. But the one that springs to mind the most was in an Italian Restaurant.

I picked the girl up and we went to a really nice Italian restaurant, she was a lovely girl and we had good conversation going, couple of pre-drinks before the meal and made our way to the table. We shared some sort of platter for starters, can't remember what, because it all fell apart at the main.

I ordered carbonara and she ordered a pizza. The first thing I noticed was that she cut the pizza in to like strips, flipped her plate around and cut it again, so it looked like a grid. I thought to myself, "that's a bit weird? but no biggie" Then as she started eating her first grid piece, both of her retainers that I didn't know she had in, fell and dropped on to the plate, full of chewed up pizza.

Ironically, we're still friends and in touch, but I just couldn't get the image out of my head!!

What are you worst dates? I'm sure we'll get some belters:T

Fwiw....it's not so odd to chop up pizza. Many proper Italian street vendor type pizza places serve it just that way....because its just not done to eat with your fingers and the cubes make it mouthful bite at a time.....( not that I have seen anyone cube it at a table mind you, but just thought I 'd point out there is some basis in practice for this to happen!

The retainer issue would be a bruta figura pretty much anywhere I think.

Kissing someone with a mouth like a dead animal. He was revolting.

I was 14 and nearly 30 years later, I've never got over it.

Eeewww.

If the right spark was there you'd have both laughed over the retainer incident and in later years it'd be a story to tell your children and grandchildren.

I was studying in St Petersburg and got asked out by another student at the university. He suggested we go out for a meal to a really posh restaurant that had just opened in the city. He told me it was really nice and to dress up. So there was I in a little black dress, heels and made a real effort with my appearance. He turned up suited and booted and had hired one of those limo type cars to drive us there. Im not pretentious in any way but I thought to myself, hmmm this looks promising.

After a short drive we pulled up outside 'Pizza Hut' :eek:

I felt totally over dressed and a bit of a twit for arriving by limo. Seen by loads of people as the Russians and toursists were queueing round the block as it had only just opened and was a novelty. The yanks in their back to front baseball caps and jeans could hardly contain their amusement at us two. All credit to him though he was great company and it turned out to be a really fun evening.

I remember going out on.a date years ago and the first and only date with this lad i realised how much of a tit he was, cos mid date he said to me
" i bet your street cred goes up being seen with me "
At what point did he think something like that was appopriate to say that, suprised he could get his head through the door, must of thought he was being flattering.

I was canny young, i realised some men are strange after that.

Very dull date spent an hour talking about himself. Then suddenly says to me 'o your eyes are blue' like he had only just noticed. It got better.....he kept asking me if i wanted a cigarette and i kept saying no but he get asking then said 'but you look like a smoker'. I am the never smoked anti-smoker hahahahha.

Went on a date and he said, "I'll get the drinks, what would you like?"

Hot day so - "I fancy a half of lager"

He came back with an orange juice for me and said "No girl of mine will ever drink beer. It's a man's drink"

I said "Why have you got a beer for yourself then if it's a man's drink?" and stood up and went home.

I never heard from him again thankfully! :rotfl:

I went on a blind date with a guy who turned out to be a David Beckham lookalike (an actual professional one yippee!)

All good, went to the ladies, came back and he was COVERED in women lol. To be fair he was trying to get rid of them but I have never seen anything like it! :eek:

Some funny stories here. People who talk about themselves a lot is usually a bad sign ugh or the ones who'd go on an on about their ex girlfriends and how wonderful/beautiful/stunning/successful they were. Had a few of those. I've been married for 25 years now, but you'd never forget those horrible, awkward moments on a first date. My most memorable was in Aus, a guy asked me out for a drink. He went up to the bar and I was wondering what he'd get me as he hadn't asked what I'd like to drink. He came back with a beer for himself, slapped it on the table and started talking, about himself of course. It was soooo embarrassing. Another guy went on and on about his ex so much, even showed me a picture of her over the table! Imagine! I had to tell him I was his date, not his therapist. The first date with my husband was hilarious, we went to the theatre and I got the giggles so badly over something he said that he had to take me outside to recover because I was disturbing some of the audience. He still makes me laugh a lot. So good luck on your date and don't think about retainers full of chewed up pizza.
