Bad Dates that make it good to be single

[SadNLonley]

I'm trying to look at the positive side of being single. I'd like to hear some either creepy, plain bad, or funny dates you have had.

 

I cant say Ive had too many, but I went on 2 dates with a guy that told me by the end of the 2nd date that he thought I was "THE ONE". ummmm, dont think so. buh bye!!!

 

How about yours?

Funny , not so funny but I learned a valuable lesson on this date.

 

I had been single for over a year , with no interest in getting into a relationship , and I didn't date much anyhow at that point of my life.

One of my best friends had this wife who had a friend who had recently lost her mother to breast cancer and was extremely grief stricken by that and she had been dumped by her long termed boyfriend of however many years , then she was never asked out for a second date when she started dating again ( I understood why when I took her on a date ).

 

So my friends wife begged me to take her to dinner and just be a nice companion over dinner and I said ok .

She talked to her friend who thought she would like it to go on a dinner date with me after she learned my occupation and saw my pic.

I didn't know her occupation nor was shown a pic though which wasnt fair but didn't really matter as I was just taking her for a dinner date .

 

I had been at the mall earlier that day picking up a shirt and I had seen this beautiful breast cancer pendant that was relevant for an adult child who lost their mom to breast cancer and immediately thought of that girl losing her mother and how grief stricken she was .

This wasn't an expensive pendant at all, maybe like 20 dollars so in good faith I bought it for her .

 

I called her to get directions to her house and she said she wasn't comfortable with me picking her up and wanted instead to meet me to the restraunt. No problem , that I understood.

 

I waited outside and held the door open for her and she said that she was perfectly capable to open her own door.

I said ok , not a problem .

 

I waited for her to order and she had a problem with all her food and sent it back twice and her drink was flat both times .

I got the same Pepsi which was fine . She didn't eat a thing or drink anything either .

 

I told her I picked out something for her that reminded me of her situation and I gave my condolences on her mother's passing and she looked at it and told me to keep it and she didn't appreciate it and was an atheist.

She then got up and left and I sat there thinking OMG !!!!

 

I called my buddy and told him to thank his wife for me for thinking I would be a great punishment for her friend .

He was laughing so hard and got his wife on the cell so I could tell her .

She was so apologetic for the entire situation and I said no wonder she never gets asked out again for a second date.

Maybe the guys were awesome guys and it's her that is the real problem

 

Anyways that is my one horrid date I ever was a party to

[Priv]

Worst date I had was me being the total prick . It was a blind date setup a few years ago by a colleague of mine making it even more embarrasing. I got off at 5, date wasn't till 7 so I decided to stay in the city I worked and had the date. Another colleague of mine wanted to keep me company (sabotage me ;-)). So he ordered extra strong beer without my knowledge. He also made sure I had NO time to eat. Needless to say I was already quite tipsy starting the date. Worst of all, my date, what I can remember very fun girl, ordered wine. Who am I not to join in? Date ended somewhere between 11-1?!? I think, can't remember much of the evening, totally wasted. I think she was still quite sober but not sure. Needless to say it didn't go anywhere. In retrospect it wasn't actually that bad but funny, and I am fairly harmless, also when drunk. I can remember paying for the drinks so at least she got something out the evening and gets bragging rights on her friends about being on the worst date ever... Win-win if you ask me.

 

Another bad date was again a blind date (memo to self: don't do blind dates again). It was instant anti-chemistry on both sides, hatelike almost. Cold vibes all over, and at points I was scared. But we both were too polite to call it a night, so we were stuck with each other for an hour or two.

 

But really, it is only the single people needing to deal with dates, not those in relationships which makes being single worse...

[SadNLonley]

You both have me convinced NO BLIND DATES. lol

[Targetlock]

My last date which was through OLD turned out to be quite an awkward experience. i arrived their to be approached by her carer that she has autism and for the rest of the date she was escorted by three support workers. was a rather strange and for me slightly embarrassing experience, but she was nice enough company though, just nothing like i expected her or the date to be like.

[Potz4prez]

I haven't had any bad dates... Guess I know how to pick 'em *shrugs*

 

"Blind" dates always smell like disaster... I mean, you already know the person has a 50% chance of being a bad date... why else would they need someone to hook them up?

Were the three support workers all women?

 

At least now you can say that you've dated four women at the same exact time. You have my record beat.

[learning_slowly]

Well this didn't happen to me. I have a similar story, but I think my friends tops it:

 

He was on holiday in a dance club and hes eaten some local delicacy.

 

Later that night he is looking longingly into the eyes of his new found love.

He realises his stomach is doing bad things.

He decides if he goes to the toilet, he'll probably lose the girl and the sex that may occur.

 

SO why dancing, he lets it all flood out!!!!!!!!

 

And he pulls it off (how was no smell noticed?) until he gets back to her place, where he goes to the bathroom and has the fastest shower ever and explains he needed to cool down!

 

This actually happened as his brother was there and heard his story the next morning, then told me when they got back.

 

I'm not sure I'd do that for a woman.

[Potz4prez]

hahahaha... oh god, you just reminded me of something that happened when I was younger.

 

 

I was once at a club with friends and this one chick that I invited out... so I guess you could call it a date.

 

Friends make me do 5 coffee shots... I only get 4 in me before puking all over my pants.

 

I go to the bathroom, wash my mouth out, come back and make out with the chick.

 

Terrible

lol only one was a woman and she was much older and i didn't find her that attractive. pretty strange evening.

[feelinggood]

Haha this post made me laugh, reminded me of my blind date few years back!

 

I got to know him through a forum and we have been chatting online for quite some time. Exchanged a few pics and he asked for a date, and I agreed! When I first saw him, I was like ok he didn't look much like in the pics but I let it pass. I told him during the conversation that I hate ppl lying to me and he said same to him. When I asked about the things he told me online, apparently they are all lies, OKKKKK...I said I thought I told u that I hate ppl lying and he gave me some lame excuse.

 

Dinner was finally over and I really wanted to leave! He said let's have a cup of coffee. I was like ok but I'm still full so we took a walk in the mall. We went to a record store and guess what I saw him doing? He was hopping a few times to reach a CD at the top rack (he's really short for a man). I was laughing so hard inside! And after the coffee,I couldn't stay much longer anymore, and I said I need to go home. He told me he had a great night and would love to go for a movie with me one day. I said no and left. He texted me after that and I told him I'm not interested with him. What a date!

I think the title of the thread says it all:

Dates so bad it feels good to be single.

 

I was pleasantly surprised at the humor I found here...

some outrageous stories -

all of which seem to reflect the fact that all the storytellers seemed to bounce back quite nicely -

I'm glad of that.

 

I guess my definition of bad dates (been quite awhile since I've been on one - or needed to)..........are the dates that just make you feel lonlier than you were before you went on them.

.......but that was in another lifetime.

 

Funny thing: the women I "dated" never seemed to work out.

The ones I found with whom nothing ever really actually felt like a "date"............were the ones that clicked.

 

(and I suppose that says a lot about my dating expertise...)

Now that is what I call being an ASS! To be so inconsiderate after you telling him this should have called for a slap in the face. How dare he!

Poor woman, am I the only one who feels for her? Losing your Mother or anybody close to you can really send you into a total tailspin, you can act in really weird ways totally outside of your normal character. I was in a relationship during my Mother's death and the two years afterwards, but there's no way I would have attempted dating if I was single for that entire time! It was hard enough to get from day to day... adding on top being broken up with and having your heart broken, well it seems to me she needed to be surrounded by friends. Not having a go at you OP, it just struck a chord.
