Worst dates you've ever been on

[Sweetaddiction88]

Was having a good laugh thinking of some of mine and also interested to hear others' experiences.
Went on one once with a man who turned up 45 minutes late without good reason (I had just left him a voicemail saying that I was leaving) when he walked in.

Looked much older than his pictures, refused to tell me his age when I asked him and instead started banging on about 'objectivity and subjectivity' and sat extremely close to me. I had an 'emergency' and left.

Another one told me at the start of our date "oh btw, I'm moving to Australia next month", talked constantly about himself, was incredibly cagey about what he did for work and where he lived, started talking about his "wife", then claimed it was an ex and that they were never married but that he referred to her as his wife.
Then suddenly remembered he had "forgotten" to pay for a belt the day before so could we go and pay for it, so we had to get a bus there and on the way he seemed to know absolutely everybody so we had to keep stopping. I left, then got a random text from him 2 weeks later asking if i preferred classical or hip hop music?

Another one who turned up in a suit for most dates including the cinema, smoked Camel cigarettes and absolutely reeked of them, I told him that I taught English to unemployed people and for some reason he found this hilarious and laughed hysterically.

Quite interesting experiences
Would love to hear other stories.

A guy I was seeing casually asked me if I wanted to join him out for dinner, it was already late (9pm?) and I had already eaten so I said I would join him and have a glass of wine + a salad or something. He had three courses, blew his nose on the cloth napkin (at the table) and when it came to paying he had forgotten his card?! I paid but made him transfer me the money right there and then through mobile banking.

Funnily enough he popped up in my Instagram message requests last week. He's getting married next month and moving to Dubai... wonder if he still blows his nose at the table?

Eww. He sounds like Mr Bean ..

Arranged to meet up at a park

Saw him walking over from a distance. He came over and was literally up to my shoulder. I'm tall (5'11)so don't mind someone shorter but he was genuinely so short and stocky, disproportionate with tiny feet

Stale convo. Nothing in common. Insisted on kissing very quickly. It was so awkward that I agreed just to have something to do.

Then took this as permission to stick his hand down my dress and fondle my breasts... in a packed public park, and slap my bum for the next few hours.

I was absolutely elated when his train got here. Promised I'd see him in a few days then waved him farewell, knowing it'd never happen

Why did you let it go on for a few hours? . Did you never consider just walking away?

I've had loads of bad dates, mostly just boring, but one I had to involve the police after I told him I didn't want to see him again and he started sending me increasingly threatening messages. I was terrified, the police were incredibly helpful, and told him to leave me alone, which he did.

The more amusing shit date was the man who asked what I wanted to drink, and when I asked for a pint bought me a half. He talked about himself the whole time, didn't listen to anything I said. I was really bored so I started going on about dinosaurs or something up to the point where he asked if we could change the subject. I said no, then said I had to go home to bed. It was 8pm. He still asked if he could see me again.

A friend set me up with someone who I vaguely knew. He was good looking and I was young and naive, so agreed to meet him at his house and then we'd go out from there as there was a pub with good bands on round the way.

His house turned out to be his mum's house where he was living (TBf we were young enough for this not to be a big deal). But then he suggested a nice evening in and a film with a glass of wine...OK, not what I was expecting but I was there now and at least it would be a cheap night.

So we ended up sat in the living room with his mum (who I had assumed would be out...) watching the Scooby Doo movie whilst I awkwardly sipped cheap lukewarm wine from a disposable plastic glass as they were left over from a recent family party and needed using. He was engrossed in the movie and barely said a word all night, leaving me to make polite conversation with his rather opinionated mother - right up to the point where the film ended and he announced to his mother that me and him were going to chill in his room for a bit.

He was most put out when I said I left at that point.

The one who took his Invisaligns out to drink the mug of tea I'd had to buy him as he'd forgotten his wallet. Then he confessed that he'd knocked 6 years off his age on his profile and wondered why I wasn't best pleased with him... 😂

Whilst on the telephone with him to fix the meet up details, OLDate, asked how big my boobs were!
Thinking fast ( unlike me normally) I asked how big his dick was and he got all flustered.
Told him we will no longer be meeting as arranged, Called me at 8.30 the next night when we had originally agreed to meet at 8, wondering where I was! Well...I was in Pajamas watching tv,!!!

OLD: lies regarding height, age and hair.
Picture sent was of a full head of hair, real life was bald and 10 years older....I did not recognise him

Should have but was too embarrassed. I just put up with it, knowing I was only going to be there for about 3hrs. Very icky though

That's how these dicks get away with it.

The worst was definitely the guy who was already wasted when I turned up. He shouted random names at passers-by, sang random songs horrifically and rather loudly and at one point pretended to be deaf when I was mid conversation. I mean, he literally sat there looking around as if I wasn’t speaking at all and when I challenged him on it he apologised and said he was deaf. He then started laughing and said it was a joke. It may surprise you to hear this but I never saw him again!

I went on a date with a guy who thought he was really, very cool once. He was quite a bit older than me (I was 22 and think he was around 30 which is a substantial gap at that age) and he kept trying to pathetically show off. At one point he asked me to guess some countries in Asia he hadn’t visited because he was so well travelled, he’d almost covered the whole continent. He wasn’t best pleased when I guessed Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. Transpired he actually only really meant Japan, Thailand, China and India... He’d wrapped up gifts for me which he insisted I wait till I got home to open, I felt really creeped out by the fact he’d actually wrapped them up above all else. It was a Sylvia Plath book which I actually still have and a record- I’ve never been hipster enough to own a record player .

Long story, but this was by far the weirdest date(s) I’ve ever had.

First date was good, but was a bit weirded out at the end when she asked me if I ever wanted kids, said I wasn’t sure yet (was 23 so genuinely didn’t know), she then asked would I adopt? I said again not sure, haven’t really thought about it, but maybe, she then asked would I adopt a disabled child? I said probably not, no, she gets a bit irate and asks why. I say my aunt and uncle had a profoundly disabled child and life was very hard for them so I wouldn’t voluntarily opt into that. She angrily tells me things are different now and how I’m wrong and it’s her goal to adopt a very disabled child one day ( she was a teacher for severely disabled children), I thought well this is odd for a first date, but I suppose she’s passionate about something and her heart is in the right place so I will let it slide.

Second date she turns up with a child in a wheelchair that I had no idea would be joining us, I say hi, and who is this? She tells me it’s one of her pupils she wants to adopt and do I mind if she joins us? I’m on the spot, say erm no I just didn’t expect it (I can hardly say yes when the kid is there can I?!) date is very awkward, I ask a bit about the situation regarding the little girl, is she with her parents etc., she tells me yes she lives with her parents, no they haven’t suggested they want to adopt her, but she thinks she can persuade them! I laugh because I can’t believe what I’m hearing, she gets very offended asks why I’m laughing I say “well you’re her teacher, how are you going to suggest to her parents that they hand her over to you? Is that not going to offend them?”. She explains how she has been offering to give them respite every so often and take the little girl out for the day, they have agreed and she’s now offered overnight stays at her house, they agreed to that, she will then offer longer periods and her logic was that if they really loved her they wouldn’t let her teacher keep taking her for days/nights/weekends.

At this point I’m very unnerved and freaked out, I make my excuses say goodbye then text her to say I don’t think we’re compatible, she asks why I say our life goals are different, I’m 23 not even thinking about kids let alone ready to adopt one. She blows up on me tells me I’m selfish just like everyone else and I won’t even “give them a chance” like it’s a done deal. Bonkers

All from OLD circa 14 years ago:

Man who announced he wanted to go back in time and kill Mohammed and therefore wipe out Islam...very loudly in the middle of the pub. I left sharpish.

Man who was so boring I text my sister about it when he was in the loo and accidentally text him...

Man who was a blind date set up by my boss..he didn't drive, was unemployed and spent all day from getting up to tea time round at his mum's watching telly. We discussed him looking for work - he had worked in factories but wanted an admin job with no experience. I suggested maybe he volunteer and he got angry and said he didn't work for free (but sitting round his mum's all day watching Bargain Hunt was apparently fine). He wanted a second date, I did not. Cheers boss

Man who I drove 40 miles to meet who took one look at me and said 'I'm not feeling it, lets leave it' which was fair enough because I certainly wasn't either, but I was pissed off I'd gone that far and not been fed!!

I think the worst one I had (and I feel so awful) was the man who took me for lunch and he had some uncontrollable tremor in his hands which I later thought as Parkinsons maybe? I finished the date. We had a nice time. I did not react to his behaviour. But when push came to shove (and he was a love bomber - need new thread for that...) I had to say I did not think we were compatible.

Another one was the guy who wanted a photograph of my desk! He then wanted me naked on my desk! WTAF! So technically not a date as he freaked me out that much.

Another one was this chap who smelt soooooooooooooo much and wanted to hug me! Oh Fuck!

Ah! Thought of one more. He lied about his age. took 15 years off!!!!! When I said I did not want a second date, he went ballistic, "what is wrong with me?". Well, you are too old for me and I don't want to be a pensioners carer! Wow!

No, fortunately I was walking distance from home, but he was back on the next train. Anyone who eats a stinking chippy dinner on a train is a wrongun, never mind the graphic description of his digestion issues.

Elsiebear that is possibly the most bonkers date I have ever heard of! Good job you didn't go on a third date, the whole class might have been brought along! (Also sounds very the hand that rocks the cradle 😳)

Ok, I think I have told this one before but it is worth a repeat. I was set up on a date by a coworker with her brother. We spoke a couple of times on the phone and he seemed nice. The night of the dinner date comes and I hear this noise from outside my apartment. My date had arrived in a BUS. Not a van of some sort, not even a small school bus...A FULL SIZE BUS you would use in a city. I was mortified. I have no idea why I didn't put a stop to the date right there and then but I didn't. I got in the bus and we headed to dinner. Instead of the lovely fancy dinner I had been told to expect (and was dressed for!) we ended up at a Denny's which is an american chain diner BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY PLACE HE COULD PARK THE BUS!!

I was taken for a romantic dinner at Subway and a romantic movie called Lesbian Vampire Killers.

My favourite by far lololol

I had a blind date in the 90s because a friends Mum insisted her neighbour was lovely and I should meet him!

I honestly wondered if I was on Candid Camera! We met in a pub and I have to say (shallowly...) he was not at all physically attractive. But I thought I should at least give him a chance - can't attraction grow if they have a great personality.,,,?

But no! He spent the evening slagging off his ex girlfriend - although it didn't sound as though she had done anything worse than stop wanting to be with him. But he was so bitter - it was really unattractive. But I'm such a wimp that when he asked to see me again, I couldn't quite bring myself to say no because I thought he would know/think it was because he was so ugly.....

So - second date. He picked me up this time. Evening equally grim but I thought I'd done my bit. Then realised I'd left my keys in the house ! Instead of a dignified exit I had to ask him to drive me across town to a friend who had a spare key. He kept being jolly and calling me the 'entertainments manager' for 'our' social life. I was mortified - and so relieved to bin him off when he next rang me.

I suppose I'm being mean because apart from the slagging off of the ex he was maybe not a bad guy - but the whole thing was awful and at least that gave me a good reason to move on.....

After a few firat dates with a very suave Irish ex banker who'd seen the light and wanted to try his hand at a music career (alarm bells much?) I invited him for dinner at mine. I bought nice food, made chocolate fondant, the works (I was young and had just lost my mum so was in a bit of a cronky headspace).

He turned up 2 hrs early, absolutely wandered and in his DRESSING GOWN.

When I said I didn't want to see him anymore, he waited outside my work a few times and followed me home. That subsided, and a few months later he broke into my house in the middle of the night and threatened me and the woman I was lodging with. We had to call the police. He assaulted a police officer and spent the night in the cells.

So the moral of the story is, heed those alarm bells!!! I wasn't making the best decisions at the time but he was one serious dodgy fucker.

*wankered, not wandered. My phone is much more polite than I am.

Some of these are pretty funny . I particularly like the PP who went on a pub crawl with a guy she loathed, eventually called him a cunt and left and then failed to get in there first with the blocking! Brilliant.

I had a fair few dodgy OLD dates back in the day. The worst was a guy who was full on stalker from pretty much the get go. I knew straight away I didn’t fancy him and he gave off the most desperate, creepy vibes. He sat really close, kept asking weird questions or just staring.. I had a friend do the fake emergency call and then when I said I had to go he suggested coming with me! Finally shook him off, after which he text me every single day for about three weeks... literally ‘hi how are you?’ ‘What You up to?’ Etc - and even though I never replied after the first one he didn’t seem to get the message. On it went until I finally cracked and said it’d been nice to meet him but I’d reconnected with an ex (not true) and he said ‘I don’t know how he ever let you go’....😱

Another one we had what seemed like a really good date - spent about 3 hours chatting and drinking then as we were walking to the tube he said ‘well there was clearly sexual chemistry there but I think we both know it’s not going to go anywhere is it?’ Wtf?! Still no idea why...

Another guy - second date - he tried to kiss me constantly in the pub -before we even sat down, before I could have a sip of my drink, every time I tried to start a conversation .. good kisser but it was far too intense! Turned out to be sex mad, which shouldn’t have been a surprise ...

Yet another had 3 dates with a guy, fancied the pants off him (and it appeared he felt the same!) then totally ghosted me. Stopped texting, ignored all messages, next time I looked he’d blocked me and seemed to be engaged!

Young guy I met on POF, early 20's as I was at the time.

We went for a drink then he suggested we take a walk by the river, it was well lit with plenty of people milling about outside the bars so I thought why not.

He went in for a kiss then proceeded to try to put his hands down my trousers.

I made my excuses and left sharpish, blocked his number.

For a few weeks afterwards he'd call me up on withheld and leave sexually explicit voicemails, pretending he was somebody else. I recognised the voice straight away.
