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.

he spent the date talking about his fatty liver
🤣🤣🤣
Some of these specimens shouldn't be allowed out in public. They're a menace to society.

Actually, I read on to hear about suspected learning difficulties so I take that back 😬

Went on a date with a person I knew/liked who worked in the same organization as my sister. I collected him on the way to DSis BBQ. No traffic (2 hour drive), arrived at house early, let ourselves in and had a drink. I really liked him. One thing lead to another, kisses, some fumbling, I'm enjoying this, door bell rings and a few others arrive, then the much delayed DSis.

Lovely BBQ, holding hands, pecks, etc. I can't drink since I have to drive back home for night shift. I try get him to disappear in to the house with me for a few mins, but too many people. I have to leave and drive back home 8PM. I'm sopping in the car! For a 2 hour drive. I'm seriously tempted to pull over, but wait until I get to work .

We were together for a few nice months afterwards, but that's my main memory today :)

Ok...

Eh?

Am I the only one grossed out by that? What a thing to share.... 🤢 (absolutely not envy)

You are not the only one. Ick doesn't quite cover it,

I once went out with avery rah chap years ago and on the second date was struck down with horrendous diarrhoea, went to the loos, no loo paper! Decided to wing it, the evening went OK until he said to me, "You smell faintly of botty." I nearly died of shame and tried to get put of there as fast as I could.

First guy I dated, I found him online after coming out of a 18 year marriage so I was naive, we got on really well by messaging so I was looking forward to the date, he had sent me some pictures a few years old but thought he'd still look as good, why would he send me them otherwise
Yes when he turned up looked much older than pics, wore a purple velvet shirt undone with chest hair on show, missing front crown on his tooth, bought me one drink then he said it was my turn to buy the next round, I don't mind offering but to be told?... confessed he liked country western music total opposite of what I like.
Had a conversation about how he used to have sex with bored housewives, I got irritated at this point and said nice you meet you but I've got to go now.
And he kept trying to kiss me 🤢
How did it turn out so badly from what I imagined before meeting him, I have low expectations for any future dates until I meet them.

Can't say it was lovely to meet you, you really are a cunt,'

Fkg brilliant.

The guy who said he hadn’t read a book since high school and wondered why anyone would.
The woman who took home my Fortnum and Mason hairbrush from the bathroom counter. These are 5x more expensive in the States.
The woman who brought her ex girlfriend to get her opinion about me.
The trans woman who wanted to split the bill. I had beef fried rice and tea. She had two scorpion bowls, a pupu platter she did not share, and two entrees. This is a bad move on any date, but I had to listen to the whole story of her transition surgery.
The two men who kept talking about their current wives.
The woman who thought I would convince my boss to hire her.
The man who claimed to be a close friend of my father and a license plate collector. He keep using my father’s legal name, when even his mother, sister, and wife did not. I was eight before I knew his legal name. This guy also knew very little about license plates. Working in a car dealership makes you expert on some things.
The woman who sexually abused her daughter. Her mother was granted custody a few weeks later after I made a call to social services.
The woman who had a “little coke problem.” I pointed out NA suggests a year sober before dating. She told me I sounded like her sponsor and parents, stalking out and leaving me with the dinner bill.

I should write a book.

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

That's so creepy!

A guy at work when I was younger. He was good looking and smart but just a wet blanket. I knew he liked me for a while and he eventually asked me to dinner. I suggested coffee instead and we met up at a local hotel bar on our day off. He was already chatting about us maybe going shopping afterwards. Within 15 minutes of sitting down he held my hand across the coffee table . When we were ready to go he asked for the bill and referred to me as his girlfriend. I then text a friend with the "SOS" text. While waiting for her to ring me with an emergency we made our way outside, where he tried to hold my hand again and discussed me meeting his mum.

I'm sorry, the scenario itself is absolutely not funny, but

"You smell faintly of botty."

Made me howl.

**"You smell faintly of botty."
I'm crying! 😂

@Cowbells trust me if immediately running away had been an option I’d have taken it, but foolishly by this point we were at his house, and my house (and car) were an hour and a half away 😩. So I had to grimace and chivvy him along to drive me home.

Was meeting with a widower who's wife had not died that long before.
Asked me if I wanted to hear how she'd died...
Felt I should say yes but .. was starting to feel like I needed a wee.
Took him so long to tell the story of the poor woman's demise that by the time he finished I was desperate for the loo! I thought she would never pass, the detail he was going in to and was worried that I'd wet myself!!
I felt it would be inappropriate to rush off to the loo immediately after he'd finished but I was literally bursting so I hung on for a few minutes then excused myself trying to say the right things but all the time thinking that my bladder was going to explode. He must've thought I was highly insensitive 🙄
He also told me he was looking for a mother to his 3 teenage children but that no one would ever replace his dead wife or live up to her!
Whilst I understood his sentiment it did put me right off as it was obvious any new woman in his life would always be seen as second best.
He also has awful fungal fingernails, poor chap.
It was a relief when he messaged to say he didn't think I was suitable!

I think you’ve told this before as it was on one of the very first threads I read on Mumsnet and I remember it clearly to this day. I was genuinely weeping with laughter.

When I was 18 I was working part time in a warehouse while studying. A colleague asked me out and I thought he wasn’t unattractive so agreed. He decided to take me to a local social club where he was playing pool, introduced me to a group of his friends. His friends were incredibly frosty and unwelcoming and I couldn’t figure out what I’d done wrong. In particular, three girls were shooting me absolute daggers and not speaking a word to me. One girl was visibly pregnant.

I was uncomfortable so when his game finished I suggested we went elsewhere. He invited me back to his to watch a movie, it was Flatliners which I’d not seen before so I agreed. Half an hour into the film I nipped to the loo and when I came back he was completely naked. I made my excuses and left. Was really cross to miss the end of the film and it was years before I got round to watching it.

Later, at work, I found out that the pregnant girl was his ex and they’d only split up a week before.

@GreyhoundG1rl, I think summoning Cthulu would be more fun than these dates!

@IrisApfelRocks

Am I the only one grossed out by that? What a thing to share.... 🤢 (absolutely not envy)

Nope. I'm right there with you.

I was mid 20s, on POF and my settings were I didn't want to meet someone with kids. Up pops a guy who worked in the same field as me in another branch. Few messages back and forth and we met. Never mentioned kids as my profile would have been hidden....

Anyway, first thing he says "so, I'm 'bob', 35, divorced and got a gorgeous daughter"

1. He said he was 29
2. His profile said he had no kids!!

Nothing wrong with kids as I want my own but the next guy I met had a kid and we're still together many years later :)

Anywayyyy this guy.... end of the date which I cut short, walked me back to my car and whaps out his penis and starts wanking off and he just stone cold stared at me and said I did that to him! I just ran into the car and drove off! The next few days he kept calling me at work giving the reception staff fake customer names so he could speak to me! I had to give the receptionist a list of my customers so if anyone else off that list called asking for me to be transferred to the business manager haha!!

Oh my God, he is literally a sexual deviant. How long ago was this? If relatively recently could you go to the police? They likely wouldn't do anything, but at least it would put Bob on their radar because it's sure as shit that he's a danger to other women.

Were these men raises by wolves?
