Worst dates you've ever had
 
The "What car I should drive on a first date" thread got me thinking. What were some of your worst dates...not just first dates.

For me :

True story. Went on a "date" with someone I had only recently met but seemed like a fun, adventurous type. I had some free airline tickets that needed to be used in a hurry. Turned into a disaster. Normally no problem but it was a date that lasted 11 days. In St. Lucia. Was supposed to be only a week but our flight home was delayed 4 days due to the volcano on Montserrat blowing and ash in the flight path cancelling all flights. It was horible from the beginning. Turned out I misinterpretted adventurous with immature.

Anyway...trying to atleast end it on a positive note, we were watching the in flight movie on the way back. It was some Australian film about the moon landing. In an effort to make conversation I turned to her and said "Do you remember where you were when man landed on the moon?"

Her: "When was that?"

Me: "1969."

Her: "I wasn't born until 1978."

Last words we ever spoke to each other. It was a long flight home.

New rule regarding age. They gotta remember man landing on moon. 'nother rule: don't do overnight trips with someone you've only known a few weeks.

Where do I start?

I remember taking out a girl that looked just like Candy Clark in "American Graffiti." This was about the same time frame, IIRC.

Anyway, not only was she more stupid than the movie character, she was totally lifeless. I might as well had one of those blow up dolls. I'm glad she was able to remember where she lived because I couldn't get her home fast enough.

I don't think I've been with a blonde since.

Dating wimmen that are younger than yer underwear is always an adventure....and when they landed? I was on the 2 freeway transition to the 5, Glendale CA. I was 12.

I was in a High's Ice Cream store, Norfolk VA when they landed. Saw it on a small black and white set they had hanging in one corner of the ceiling.

Bad dates? Nah....just like chili....some's better than others. ;)

1969: Two years back from Vietnam @ Fort Ord. Haven't had a (single) date since 1960. Don't remember much before that.

Porsche-O-Phile 03-06-2013 08:19 AM

Wasn't born yet (although I was born during the Apollo program). And what's wrong with younger women anyway? ;)

shadowjack1 03-06-2013 08:28 AM

Had a woman/girl ask me out to a party only to find out the reason she asked me was to make another guy jealous. She wanted to date him. One of her friends told me, I confirmed this with my "date" she said I was right. I left her there.
This was not a young kid thing we were both in our 30's.

Don Ro 03-06-2013 09:31 AM

I arrived early...she leaned over the railing of her 2nd floor condo, "Don't park there, you'll get a ticket."
Cute Jewish lady...but what did I know about Jewish women?
Great dinner, juicy steak, good meal, decent chat (did I say 'cute'?), but she had a nasty cold, so I suggested that I take her home early.
She asked that I stop at a 7-11 so she could buy some NyQuil...I stopped - she announced that she forgot her purse and would pay me back when she got home.
The only NyQuil in the store was $15+...I placed the bag on her kitchen table.
She announced, "I feel that I don't owe you for the NyQuil because I saved you a parking ticket."
.
Within seconds, I left...never to return her calls.
.
This was one of the first lessons I learned in my youth about how cheap some women are.

I met this cute local(ish) girl named Megan while I was in EOD school at Eglin AFB (Ft. Walton/Destin), FL. I asked her if she wanted to have dinner and she seemed pretty hesitant, but told me to call her on her next day off in a couple days and she might do something. Well, due to the "cold shoulder" I thought she gave me, I just ended up partying like it was any other weekend and never called. I saw her a couple days later and she asked why I never called, and she was bored, bla bla bla. Well she told me she had Thursday off, which was great for me because I had absolutely no money in the bank (I had fun during EOD school) and I thought that was payday. Well as I was leaving, I realized May has 31 days, uh oh, Friday is payday.

Well Thursday came and luckily I had a gift certificate my mom gave me to some seafood joint in Destin, and I had $20 cash my roommate owed me, that was it for the entire night (I never used checks then, so I couldn't even float one). I'll slip the GC past when she's not looking and I've still got $20 for the movies or whatever.

Strike one- As I pulled into her driveway, my 911 died, blocking it from everyone else. I quickly realized the problem as I fiddled with the distributor, but I flooded it trying to start it again, and now I needed to let it sit for a few minutes. I pushed it out of the drive so other tenants could get in and out and walked to the door. Awesome, she was ready, and watched and laughed at me out her window. At least it started fine now, and she hesitantly got into it, wondering what the hell was she getting into. The Porsche mystique wore off quick when I had no A/C, smelled like fuel, rough suspension, windows down, and loud exhaust. That doesn't go well in Florida with a girl trying to look her best for a date.

Strike two- As we talked, I was asking her about restaurants, and got the impression indirectly she did not like the one I had a gift certificate for. Well crap. We ended up at another (more expensive of course) one, and finally I caught a break. Luckily she only wanted a salad, and didn't want a refreshing beverage (I think I said something about not liking to drink on a first date or some BS, so she didn't order one either). I got a burger and water or something cheap and the total ended up being $16 or so. How's that for a date!

Strike three- Because I had $0 left, I suggested we take a nice sunset stroll down the beach. Next door to the restaurant, there was a public beach park. We parked there (the 911 was running fine still, thank god), and walked down the beach for a bit. After the sun went down we walked back to the parking lot, which was strangely empty due to the park closing after dark. That wouldn't have been a big deal, but they had a locked gate. We had to walk down the road to a hotel so I could find a phonebook to call the Sheriff's Dept. to let us out. Understandably, we weren't on the priority list so it took an hour or so for them to show up.

I'm out- Took her home, got out walked her to the door as I still had hopes, and guess what she said... Bye. Damn, she was pretty hot too. And nice too boot. Oh well. I was only out $20.



That was eight years ago and my worst date ever is also my wife Megan's worst date. And I'm out waaaay more than $20, but it's been well worth it.

ben parrish 03-06-2013 11:35 AM

Had a date that sucked years ago. Friend of a friend kind of deal. She seemed nice and fun on a group date so we set up another for just us. Headed over to Hilton Head for the evening and on the ride she start to be *****y. We got to the restaurant and it gets worse..*****ing about everything and just being generally disagreeable. Wee actually ran into some mutual friends and I thought it would get better...it didn't. This chick was rude to every one..waiter, bartender, complete strangers...it didn't matter. I actually told her she better straighten up or she would be walking home(about 100 miles). She keeps it up and I stand up and tell her that's it...I'm done with her crap and I am leaving. She doesn't believe me but I head out the door, get into the car and drive the 100 miles back home with a smile on my face.
She drops by the following day and apologizes for being such an ass...brings a bottle of wine and we have a nice evening together.
The cab ride home cost her over 100 bucks (early 90's).

Well done.

My worst date wasn't really a date. I was very good friends with a really wonderful gal, we met in high school and remained friends through college. We'd hang during breaks at home, see each other when we could.

She was headed to graduate school when I was a flight student in Pensacola. She stopped by for a few days on the way. We had a great time.

The second night we both get hammered at the Flora-Bama, a bar on the border between...duh.

One thing leads to another and we sleep together.

Awful. I have never been more uncomfortable in my life. Disaster.

We tried to talk about it but nothing was ever the same again.

Pity, that.

Drdogface 03-06-2013 12:03 PM

I had just finished internship at UPa and had a job near Annapolis, Md. I had not found an apartment yet so rented a room with a local guy for a month. He dated, and was trying desperately to pound, a skanky gal in Baltimore. He asked if I would go to a party on a double date with her sister....said it would help him get laid eventually so I agreed. When we drove up to the row house I knew I'd made a bad decision. Went to the door and his date answered and she was a hottie... Her sister, however, was huge and gross with dirty, stringy hair. We had bought a bottle and went to the party down near DC. He had promised me we'd just go to the party, then home. Well, about 2 hr. later he said the girls want to go into DC and go dancing. He promised again we wouldn't stay long... So I grab the bottle and we get into the car, a two door and we're in the back. As we drove out of the parking lot of the apartment complex, it was a heavily wooded area, I told him to stop the car....He did, I reached fwd and grabbed the door handle, pushed his date forward and jumped out...then disappeared into the woods. Later I ditched the bottle and began to hitch hike back to the house we lived in. A Maryland State Trooper pulled over and told me I couldn't hitch hike on the fwy. I told him the story, he laughed has arse off and gave me a ride back home.

Worst date? hmmmm, prolly catching a girl friend of 4+years mugging out with a dude she just meet at a new years eve party...I was hurt so I ended up doing her friend the following week as payback. She never found out to this day. Her friend was much better in the sack...glad her boyfriend never found out. Defensive tackle for BC at the time!

Drdogface 03-06-2013 12:43 PM

Good for you, Luby ;)

Lube, not to worry. A slice is never missed from a cut loaf.

Jferr006 03-06-2013 12:55 PM

I had a guy ask me out and he took me to one of those pyramid scheme meetings at a hotel conference center... I started dating his best friend the next week and we dated for two years :)

GH85Carrera 03-06-2013 01:12 PM

I made the mistake of dating a genuine librarian back when I was in my mid 20s. She was the strangest chick I ever met. I picked her up at her apartment that was a dump. She wanted to give me the grand tour. Her living room had a gum wrapper chain all the way around the room. The kitchen had a strange smell. Then she showed me her bedroom. Upstairs was a very rhythmic thumping and a lot of moaning. It was instantly obvious the folks upstairs were enjoying the bedroom activities. She looked at me as said "I don't know what they are doing up there but they do it all the time!" :eek:

One would think someone that spends all their time at a library would learn a few things in life. She was dumber than a box of rocks. I feigned a bad headache so I could end things and take her back to her apartment and I actually burned the piece of paper with her phone number on it.

1st date with girl I hit a cat, freaking thing made it then doubled back, rattled right down the bottom of the floor (lowered old beetle) and launched off the rear tire. Dented the rear fender.

Looked over and date was crying. 1st and last date with her.

I had a blind date one time.

The Seeing Eye dog crapped all over the back seat.

peppy 03-06-2013 01:38 PM

I have never had a bad date, but I'm sure there are a few women that could contribute to this thread.

genrex 03-06-2013 05:40 PM

It was a blind date, set up by a lady co-worker, who said her friend was beautiful. Much to my surprise, she was right. Her girlfriend was indeed very beautiful. My co-worker said her friend was a fan of opera, so I sprung for pricy tickets to La Traviata. I knew nothing about opera, but it seemed like a good idea. What could go wrong?

I picked up the girl and we went out for dinner before the opera. She said she didn't get any sleep last night, and she struggled to stay awake during dinner. But she napped in the car on the way to the opera house, and everything seemed fine. About 10 minutes into the performance, during an instrumental portion, I heard the sound of loud snoring coming from the seat next to me. Because of the acoustics, I am sure everyone in the opera house heard the snoring. I turned and saw my beautiful date, her head fully back, snoring like a trouper. The people around us were staring at me, and I swear if looks could kill... I hurriedly nudged my date awake. I asked if she was okay, and she assured me she was okay. To make sure she didn't fall asleep again, I rubbed her thigh for a while. But unfortunately within 5 minutes I heard the sound of loud snoring once again. It seemed like the earth stood still. I remember no other sounds, only her snoring. A lady hissed at me, "Do something!" I had no choice. I half-carried my date out of the opera house. I took her home and helped her into her house, and laid her on the couch and took her shoes off, and then locked the door as I left. I never saw her again, and my co-worker never asked me about the date. I've never been back to the opera, and to this day, whenever I hear the word "opera," I smile and chuckle. :)

Shortly after the end of my 22 year marriage I ended up on a dinner date with a younger lady (bar maid at the local pub). Things went great at dinner, on the drive home she had her pants off in my truck and jamming her feet all over the place...while I was trying to drive. finally got home thinking this is gonna be wild.....Remember...married for 22 years....she is biting me and slapping my face, asks me to "choke her out" I actually had to crawl away backwards on my living room floor and ask her to calm down a little bit!!! She freaked out called me a pussy and went to sleep IN MY BED..... I was a little freaked out and slept on my own couch...only to be awaken by an early morning BJ and the offer to come over and meet her KIDS!!!! OMG...what a mess!!!!
The guys all pissed themselves laughing the next night at hockey when I told them how my "big date went".

Gogar 03-06-2013 06:28 PM

Apparently you don't understand the subject of the thread. That was an awesome date.

Right up until the kids offer, agreed.

I've been lucky enough to not have any dates worthy of posting here yet. Better go knock on some wood.

jcommin 03-07-2013 04:24 AM

My worst was in 1969. It was first date, going to the Chicago auto show. Driving down the expressway we were talking getting to know each other. Somehow the subject of religion came up and she announced that "Catholics are better than non-Catholics". I'm Greek Orthodox. I wanted to push her out of the car. I can't remember the rest of the date because I was so pissed off. I remember that moment like it was yesterday.

Why is it that some recent memories feel like 10 years and others are very fresh in your mind?

wdfifteen 03-07-2013 04:40 AM

In retrospect it was hilarious.
I was a high school senior and took a freshman from the Baptist college across the street out on a date. This place is so strict the women aren't allowed to wear pants - skirts only, and being with a townie after dark was strictly against the rules. We had some beers and some fun and, not being a drinker, she got hammered. When it was time to drop her off at her dorm she was sound asleep. I had to try to sneak her up to her room, but she couldn't tell me which floor it was on, let alone what room it was and kept giggling as I struggled to find a place I could dump her and run. Her roommate found us and drug us into the room just as the RA came down the hall wondering what was going on. I was stuck in the room until 4 AM waiting for the roomate to make sure the halls were clear so I could get out. I had left the engine running and the lights on in my car and it had run out of gas and the battery was dead. It was a four mile walk home and I arrived just in time to meet my dad on his way out to work. I got my ass chewed for smelling like beer, losing my car, and coming home at breakfast time. She got off scott free.

fastfredracing 03-07-2013 04:43 AM

I got roped into going to Niagra Falls with my buddy, his date, and her friend that I had never met. She was the hairiest little thing I have ever seen. She ended up being a nice person, and not to bad to talk to , so I was able to salvage the weekend.
So while my buddy is in the room next door making whoopie with the hot blond for 3 days, I got to play honeymooners, and spent 3 days sightseeing with sasquatch.

Jferr006 03-07-2013 05:40 AM

I'm enjoying reading these.. my dates were typically pretty good, usually its the sexual encounters that ended up being humiliating and awkward. Keep the stories coming!

---CLIPPED

I'm guessing it was NOT a REALLY BIG motorshow. Are you a Tory? SmileWavy (sorry, could not resist! That would bum me out as well.)


I have been on some strange dates but nothing really disasterously wrong with the date (or hopefully me).

I had started dating a VERY nice, very smart young lady (and she looked a very much like Holly Robinson) a few decades ago. We got along very, very well and everyone who saw us together made comments about how much we really seemed to like each other. Our first date was getting to know each other (park, walks, picnic) and we hit it off rather well.

Second date we went out to a nice restaurant. They were refusing to serve a mixed race couple. Same at second place we went but they did it with lousy service and a horribly cooked meal.

She never got over any of that and stopped talking to me a few weeks later. Her friends said she was just to upset at the public's reaction. Shame, we got along very well and had very similar likes and dislikes.

After a time I reluctantly agreed to go out with another lady who I had known for many, many years but only as a group date with many friends (she was FAR too young!). She and I have been together for 20+ years now.

Joe Bob 03-07-2013 07:51 AM

Apparently..... I have a date this weekend....this pic showed up on my cell phone with the caption....."hey, ya wanna come out and play?"

WTF, why not....she has a pulse.....
