Worst Dating Experience?

Many years ago I was excitedly waiting for my date to arrive. I'd met him in a club and thought he was gorgeous! I knew he was a couple of years older than me and worked at IBM. He'd said he had a "good job".

He was travelling some distance to get to me and I was waiting upstairs with my mum looking out for him. As I was quite young we were having the "I wonder what car he has?" discussion.

It was about five to ten minutes after he was due to arrive, which I wasn't too stressed over as he had a good 40 minute journey.

The next minute a little 50cc motorbike with L plates pulls up outside the house. Mum and I assumed it was one of my younger brothers friends. That was until he took his helmet off and it was my date :eek:

My mum was laughing so much she nearly wet herself. I was speechless. Meanwhile my dad had let him in and he was faced with my family sniggering and me dressed up for a night out. We ended up walking to the local! To make matters worse he smelt awful and wasn't as nice as I'd remembered.

He called me the next day to say he had gone home and forgot to turn off the road and ended up on the motorway and had been stopped by the police :eek: Not a great date for either of us

My mum still laughs about it though and that was over 25 years ago

Just remembered, my sister recently was going to be having a fourth date with a guy she got on well with, but there wasn't a spark, and he wanted to take her away to the lake district for a romantic break for the fourth date (!!!).

She told him that she wanted to be friends and there wasn't a romantic spark. He was fine with this, but then replied, "I don't really know the etiquette past third date, as I've never been past three dates." He was 31. Lucky escape I think!

Haha he's showing signs of improvement though at least he got through to a 4th date!

Hehe, these stories are great... When I was MUCH younger, about 19 I think I took a risk and agreed to go on a date with a younger chap I'd met in a club, he was 18. He picked me up in a nice car and said he was taking me to the fair, I thought this was quite fun for a first date and thought it looked promising, then he said he had to pick up a few of his mates.. He did and then he started driving REALLY FAST :eek: with all his mates whooping and shouting..

..The car was stolen... I got out as soon as I could and never saw the chap again... My day as a joy rider.

well, there was the blind date when my date turned out to be old enough to be my granny

the one where I was only going to meet for coffee so had dressed casually, complete with thermals (it was winter) and ended up sweating buckets in a fancy Itallian restaurant.

my favourite was the awkward one when I arrived on a train to discover my date had a zimmer frame (nothing wrong with people with zimmers, just wasn't expecting it). The reason it was awkward was the first question I was asked was 'am I your type, how's about it?' - without appropriate time to formulate a gentle put down, I blurted out 'Naw'. We then went on to have lunch, followed by a drink, during which I was asked again if I fancied going back to their place. I politely declined.

First snog, in a stairwell in a really dodgy part of town, my lovely friends set me up, he was apparently used for this purpose for all girls looking for their first kiss. He was much older, ugly as and kissed like a fish, wonder it didn't put me off for life. Haven't done this one myself but bolting out the toilet window is a friend's favourite.

Worst date I had was a girl from Leicester. We'd met through a dating site, exchanged a few messages, she was attractive, funny, interesting - at least in written form.

I caught the train for our 1st date (from Nottingham so not a great distance), planned to go for a couple of drinks then head home. From the moment we got to a bar things went down hill. She took little interest in talking, one word answers to my attempts at conversation, kept looking beyond me as if expecting someone else and yawning - not particularly good signs. Although she claimed she was yawning as she was an insomniac (plausible - I didn't have that effect on other dates!) So I went to make my excuses and leave but she was having none of it. Insisted we go for another drink and I'm far too polite to refuse (thinking things would get better).

Next bar was the same. So tried to make my excuses and said I'd head back to the train station. She insisted on walking me back. Then decided we must go for another drink. Same again. Eventually got back to the station with her in tow, went to peck her on cheek to say goodbye and she lunged in for a more full-on version.

Finally got home, only to recieve a text about 4am saying what a wonderful time she had had!

There was no 2nd date

I had a few dates with this guy who seemed nice enough, there was something a little odd about him but nothing I could put my finger on exactly, it all sort of added to the eccentric charm.

Anyway, on date 3 or 4 we went to a party, we left late and it turned out he'd missed the last train home. So, he came back to mine and said he would sleep on the sofa. I was really happy with this, we certainly weren't at the 'move things on' stage of the relationship.

So, off I went to bed, pretty tired. I fell asleep but a while later woke up, I rolled over in bed to find this guy sitting on a dining room chair (that he'd carried upstairs) right next to the bed, staring at me. I screamed, and jumped out of bed ready to clout him with the bedside lamp, he got up and wandered off asking if I fancied a coffee as I was awake.

I called him a taxi to the train station and he went. I never saw him again after that.

This thread is giving me such a laugh!

I've never had a particularly bad date but I remember a very clingy guy who I'd been out with twice and then decided to call it off 'cause I didn't like him that much (and he was really clingy!) and I got a 4 page text back including such phrases as "You've had your chance with me" and "I'll find someone who appreciates me" - lucky escape I think!

Oh, I had one of those, about 9 years ago!!! He still emails me every so often - "Just thought that I'd check in and see how life's treating you". I've never replied. :rotfl:

I had a blind date once. He was the loudest, most rude person I've ever met especially with all of the staff. Everyone in the bar was looking across with such pity for me, it was painfully embarassing. I went to the loo and a lovely lady from the next table was concerned and followed me in, asked if I needed rescueing. I said yes but my coat was still in the bar. She gave me her coat (waaay below freezing weather), I left through the back door guided by lovely staff, and never saw the bloke again. I returned the coat to the lady at her family's shop 2 days later, and married her brother two years later. That was oooooh twenty odd years ago now. So even a carp date can lead to something. In our case kids and dogs galore, so you have been warned!

Have a lovely time on your date. Let us know how it goes won't you!! xx

AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

That is so lovely. :A

My sister has one of these. He cheated on her with some foreign lady, this was perhaps two or so years ago now, and he keeps trying to add her on facebook, then deleting her, then talking to her as if nothing happened, saying things like, "Oh, we never did catch up" etc. It's bizarre!! It goes through the same thing every 2-3 months. She accepts his invitation for a laugh to see how long it takes him to delete her again!!!
