I just had the shortest date in the history of the world. He was really shy,so i tried to make small talk.... asked about his job etc... i said i had been busy with work but how it worked out ok as i had a lots of holiday and was going away in a few weeks. he asked where and i told him and then he laughed
in my face
and i asked him why he was laughing, and he said he had been to the caribean and scotland ( wtf) and all over. i told him i had lived abroad and that norfolk is very pretty.
and again he laughed then he laughed again when i said i was going in a caravan even though he has never been in a caravan
hes only done call centre work. and has been in his new job ( cold calling) for 3 months.Yet mocked my work. he is a child. said things like ' meh' and 'm'kay' and stupid stuff like that
doesnt do anythng, or go anywhere. he sat in silence and if i didnt talk it was silent.
i said ii had to check my phone as work might have called and i might haveto go back ( was checking for my get out text) and then we sat in silence for a momment and he said ' i want to go home'
and then ' i dont want to be rude but i just want to leave'
so i said ' no thats fine, bye' and left
fucking awful
surprised i didnt cry

What attracted him to you to want to go on a date in the first place?

Or was it an online thing?

myroomisatip · 08/08/2013 20:52

Good grief! How old was he?

Lucky escape lol Honestly, don't cry over it, unless they are tears of relief!

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad date (haven't we all) Watchforthesnail. However at least he showed his true colours now rather than further or much further down the line. As a proud Norfolker myself, I find myself annoyed on your behalf! :-) Don't let other people put down/mock your choices - if they feel right for you, then that's all that matters. Doesn't matter what some piddly date (who probably hasn't been to half the places he claims to have done) thinks. And I second a 'yay for caravans and caravan holidays'. After all caravan holidays wouldn't be available if there wasn't a call for them. Twat (him, not you).

LEMisdisappointed · 08/08/2013 20:55

ah well, at least you have a dating annecdote - Grin Was he especially articulate online?

He sounds like an epic arse and an inadequate twat. Celebrate your escape and next time you feel you don't want to meet someone, listen to your instinct because you are right :-)
I've been there too many times btw. You're wasted on these losers. Remember that.

watchforthesnail · 08/08/2013 21:00

he was ok, but i wasnt sure.... the last day or two i wondered if he was an immature boy who spends all his time in front of a pc. and i was right. he said he had been single for 8 years and hadnt even had anything non serious in that time. i can see why. ALso in all his pics his mouth was closed so i suspected a tooth issue. and i was right they all pointed inwards and were jumbled up very badly.

Bet he lives in a mound of pizza boxes and spends his evenings on the internet alone.

watchforthesnail · 08/08/2013 21:05

he does. ive been texted pictures of pizza. he also seems obsessed with his cat, which was another reason i cancelled.

You were brave to go in the first place by the sound of it!

What a crap night but you'll laugh about it soon enough :)

My friend thought she'd had a lovely first date with a perfect gentleman she met online. On the way home he stopped at a garage so she could run in for something, and when she got back into the car he was just sitting with his cock out....Shock

IneedAyoniNickname · 08/08/2013 21:11

He sounds very similar to a loser I almost went on a date with, but cancelled.
He was very condescending that I havent visited such exciting places as him, and kept telling me i had no ambition (have just completed access, and want to be a nurse) when he worked in Primark!.
(nowt wrong with that btw, just seemed a bit pot and kettle) He also had manky teeth! what is it with the bad teeth!

watchforthesnail · 08/08/2013 21:13

i just dont get who is so rude to laugh in someones face and then to sit there and say ' i want to go home' i mean, who behaves like that?

CatsAndTheirPizza · 08/08/2013 21:20

Regretting my user name now - I'm not him, I promise Grin. OP he sounds a nightmare - lucky escape.

watchforthesnail · 08/08/2013 21:23

:)
i know. i was going to leave and was looking for my ' emergency situation text' but my god, i would never treat someone like that.

cant lie and say im not sat here crying about it. lucky escape or not its still incrediably hurtful/

wharrgarbl · 08/08/2013 21:25

Jeez Louise what a twat! Dodged a bullet there - not that you were really in the firing line, thank ghu.

watchforthesnail · 08/08/2013 21:28

he actually said, and ive just remembered
' i want to go home. i dont want to be cruel but i just want to leave'

who the fuck says that.

OP posts:
watchforthesnail · 08/08/2013 21:30

im tempted to text him that hes a socially inept arse and that i had been checking my phone for my getaway emergency text as i couldnt bear to spend any more time with him.

because i like to have my say. and because how dare he say to me he didnt want to be cruel. at least my damn teeth dont point inwards.

Roshbegosh · 08/08/2013 21:31

I bet his flat smells of stale bed linen and cat piss.

UterusUterusGhali · 08/08/2013 21:36

Jeepers that was bad.

Please don't cry! Like someone said, it's a good anecdote to tell people when they have similar howlers. Albeit a waste of a babysitter.

watchforthesnail · 08/08/2013 21:39

i didnt waste a babysitter. thankfully.

i have a very long line of bad date stories, it will just get added to the list.

it was bad. even the one who told me he liked to shag grannies wasnt so rude to my face.

thenightsky · 08/08/2013 21:44

bloody hell watch I've just looked at your profile and you are STUNNING!

You obviously turned him into a gibbering wreck when he realised just how high above his weight he was punching Grin

EllesAngel · 08/08/2013 21:45

Never mind watch one more frog out of the way Wink

TrucksAndDinosaurs · 08/08/2013 21:47

He sounds incredibly like my ex flat mate.
Who had Aspergers.
