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.

One of mine didn't even turn up and wouldn't answer the phone either, I waited 30 mins then left

Went out on a date with the local good looking bad boy. He turned up and looked at me with horror because I was not dressed in a trendy enough way for him and his image. He told me I had a big bum as we walked for the bus. He then rushed to get on the bus before me so he did not have to pay (didn't expect it, brought my own money).

Went to a bar where we met his punk mates who all ignored me. He didn't buy me a drink. I was trying to work out a route whereby I could leave and even considered getting out of the loo window but couldn't fit.

He finally took me to a party in a flat in a rough area of town where people sat around looking trendy, gloomy and stoned. No-one spoke a word to me. It was only livened up by two punks kicking the hell out of each other and rolling round the floor. Blood was spattered up the walls. He then told me I would have to pay for the taxi as he didn't have enough money.

A few weeks later I saw him with a pretty girl but he had forgotten to tell me I was ditched. What a prize he was. He told me he got his hair done at "Vidal's" was though they were personal friends. I do hope it has dropped out and he is fat.

I went on 5 dates with someone from school. Date 4 he invited me back to his, and rushed me upstairs before his Mum could see me. His room was a state with dirty plates, Bed not even made and rubbish strewn all over.
Had what he wanted then suddenly lost interest, funny that, and had the cheek to stand me up on Christmas Eve.

I'm small but I used to wear heels and make a big effort for dates. I was told by one date that "you said you were small?". I pointed to the heels as I didn't like to say that he said he was 5ft 10 when really he was my height! He was leaving the army and his idea of securing future employment was to take a degree in Astrology!

A horrendous date with someone absolutely unhinged. He talked the whole evening about himself to the room. Projecting and making eye contact with people whilst I sat there. He had done it all (record producer, one of the 1% in IT), seen it all (lived everywhere), bought it all (thatched cottage, big apartment building, fancy cars). On and on. I said very little. In the end he walked out on me and and his excuse in his text was that I was too full of myself. He lived with his parents in Wolverhampton.

Blind date with my fathers alternative therapy practitioner. He looked like toad of toad hall, wore a suit to our date in a chain Italian restaurant, talked about politics non stop whilst trying to hold my hand, hands were very clammy and I literally had to rip my hands away from him.

We then went to the cinema (which was ok as it was dark and no one would see me with such an odd person, in a fucking suit 🤷🏻‍♀️) and he bought his own ticket and just stood there waiting for me to buy mine. I had coughed up for half the dinner and was happy to pay for my own ticket and my own popcorn (because no way would I eat anything those hands had touched) but thought it very odd that he didn't just order 2 tickets at once.

Apparently he's now an MP with a party I'm not fond of and has an equally toady wife and toady children. Every time I see a picture of him I think Thank Fuck I'm not married to him.

It is one of the many disappointments my father listed when doing his last character assassination that I let such a young man slip away!

Went on a date with a slightly older guy after we started chatting online. We met up in town one evening after he'd finished work (this was about 6pm in winter time so dark) and he insisted that we walked around town handcuffed together. God knows where he'd got the handcuffs from- he told me from a friend who was a police officer but they looked like they were from a kinky dress up set to me. Anyway I don't know why I didn't run for it then rather than shuffle around town handcuffed to him for an hour constantly pulling my sleeve down hoping no one would notice. He also had a very wee-y whiff to him.

I was very young at the time...

Went on a double date with my boyfriend (now DH) and my best friend and her new boyfriend (who we'd not met). He turned up to the bar in a long coat, bowler hat and pinstripe waistcoat. Fine, we thought, maybe a bit eccentric. However, he proceeded to be so incredibly rude, exaggerated yawning and checking his pocket watch (!) every five seconds. He even shushed my friend when she talked (and not in a joke way). DH and I were delighted when they broke up, he was horrible to her and she deserved much better.

Not as bad as some of these horrors but when my date told me he had ‘drop the kids off at the pool’, I stood outside the toilet for over 10 minutes and he held my hand afterwards

He looked like toad of toad hall
😂😂😂

Oh god. 2 worst dates and they were with the same bloke. I dunno why I gave him a second chance tbh.

First date after meeting online. Picked me up from my flat and drove us to a pub. Didn’t tell me where we were going and literally drove me in his white van into the arse end of nowhere. I was frantically texting my flatmate rough locations and then the name of the pub when we pulled up in case I didn’t come back. I jumped out the van and stated walking towards the pub he says “oh I’ve left something in the van” so we walk back to the van and he’s messing with something (it’s dark so I couldn’t see) and I’m facing away from the van at this point he jumps out with a balaclava on, I SCREAMED! He apologied, said it was a daft joke. Anyway had an ok chat over a drink, he then suggest going to the place he plays snooker. I say ok, by this point he had seemed fairly laid back and not as creepy. We pulled up to a working mans club, fair enough except I don’t think there had ever been a woman under 65 set foot in the place, the stares and dirty looks I got. Luckily the snooker tables were upstairs where there wasn’t anyone else apart from younger guys playing. Had a game, drove me home. All was well.

Next date he comes to mine to watch a film, except half way through he says “want to see a magic trick?” I thought this was going to be some sort of weird attempt to seduce me.. no the nutter pulls out some sort of magic kit from his pocket and starts to do this “trick” with my table salt.. except it doesn’t go as planned and he just chucks salt all over the kitchen. My flatmate faked an emergency to get him to leave. I couldn’t work out if he was mentally unwell or just a socially inept idiot.

. You agreed to be handcuffed to a complete stranger... That could have ended so badly.

his excuse in his text was that I was too full of myself

absolutely bonkers @user1471538283 and the ultimate projection!

2nd date I went back to his flat. Went to the loo for a wee - the sides of the lavatory pan were covered in diarrhoea. Reader, I left.

I once went on a date to the cinema with a guy I'd met online. We had loads in common but realized n meeting him he was lying about most of the things we had in common. He proceeded to get hammered during the film, must have had about 5 pints and several trips to the loo. I was driving so couldn't have a drink but he insisted on going to a local bar which is one I used to go to many years ago. I inevitable bumped into a few people I knew and he acted like a complete dick to them all because by this time he was pissed. I told him I had to go and he insisted I drove him home, so he nipped to the loo and I made my getaway.

It's both entertaining and bloody horrifying hearing about so many Neanderthals roaming loose out there!
If dh and I ever split I honestly don't think I could do it again 🤦‍♀️

The one who was incredibly mean, despite having a well paid job.

He had blankets at his windows instead of curtains.

I paid for all our drinks.

His boiler was broken and he was too tight to have it repaired. So, freezing cold shower sync all his clothes smelt musty.

I went on a few dates with him - god knows why. He was always cancelling at the last minute and was obsessed with his ex.

Told me I would never really matter to him.

I ran for the hills the day he removed the door to his bathroom so he could keep an eye on me at all times.

@Twinkie01 his initials weren't DT were they? If so he's divorced and no longer an MP but definitely looks like a toad!

Some of these are hilarious

I went a date with a lad from work. The whole date he was going on about his ex, who he thought, looked like Christina Aguilera.
Tried stroking my leg, I was having none of it.
Turns out, he had told everyone who we worked with we had slept together!

Another one, I was dating for a good few weeks and after a good date, went back to his.
Clothes off, just about to put it in...he tells me he has a boyfriend and that hes took it too far and feels too guilty!
Grabbed my clothes and legged it.

On date brought his own bottle of massage oil. To make it worse, it was half empty / used!

Agreed to go out with curly red haired lad who seemed nice. I waited in a pub near work in Covent Garden. He text to say he was running late. I nursed a bottle of wine and got stuck into a book. 3 hours later the words were going blurry and he was still texting saying there were Tube delays. I was intrigued as to how late he would be and quite annoyed. When he said he was finally at the station, I decided to leave and go home.. but I turned the corner and ran straight into him.

Too polite, and drunk, I agreed to come with him to a Turkish restaurant apparently the best in town. Followed him in circles for an hour until he finally found it (pre smart phones). The food was very average and he droned on about his ex, in this weepy voice that really grated on me.

Bill came and as I dutifully got my purse out, expecting to go halves he said 'are you sure? Thanks!'. Again too polite to argue I paid for the lot! Then by the time we returned to the station to go home, the trains had stopped running!

Had to wait for a night bus which only took us so far. On the bus there were some kids beatboxing & rapping and he walked up and started joining in. It was soo cringe!

Had to get a cab for the remaining journey. He lived in the same town as me. He told the cabbie he would get out in the high street. When the cab dropped me home I realised I'd been left to pay the lot again!

I didn't speak to him again until 2 weeks later, I was on a much better date with someone else. Was holding hands with new date and ran into tight a*. Carried on and 10 mins later heard angry footsteps coming up behind us. It was him! He asked for 'a word'. I had to break away from new guy to explain to this idiot that I didn't owe him anything. It was like a proper break up where I got berated.

A year later I saw him in the pub with his new girlfriend. They ended up having a huge row. Apparently he told her I was his ex girlfriend who screwed him over and left him broken hearted. I would handle it far differently now.

😂 no not DT.

I once dated a lad from my town, where there had recently been a fire. It was a small town and big news, so when we were chatting about banal stuff, I mentioned the fire and how it was lucky no one was hurt etc. He looked very shifty and did a strange high pitched laugh and changed the subject. Googled his name when I got home and found out he was named as one of the suspects! Didn't see him again after that.

These are brilliant awful! I especially love the South African hate date.

I don't want to out myself by telling stories I've told in real life so I'll tell this one. When I was in my early 20s my mum worked at a big company and told me about one of her colleagues, Mark. She wanted to set us up together. He was 27, a really nice guy, he'd seen pictures of me and thought I was beautiful. I thought Mark sounded great and agreed to let her set us up, until my stepdad overheard this conversation and asked my mum "Not Mark the cheater?". Apparently Mark was married to another one of their co-workers and had 2 kids with his wife. When their youngest was a few months old he cheated on his wife with another co-worker and was currently still married and going through a vicious divorce.

I asked my mum what made her think I would want to go out with a shitshow like Mark and she said Mark had had a hard time and could do with being cheered up.

Had one last week, it was like having coffee with a car salesman, I got a really hard sell. After 10 minutes he wanted to know what I thought. I was I've only just met you. Claimed to have been born and brought up
In my city. Could tell that he hadn't been brought up in this country even. That's fine. But don't lie about it.

Fucking hell, with parents like that - who needs enemies, eh!?
