To ask your worst 'DATE' story?

[BeachHutCornwall]

Just for fun.

Some years ago - when i was in my 20s, I went out for (what I thought were a platonic) few drinks with a local guy that I had been getting on very well with - in mutual social circles

I didn't realize I was actually on a DATE until he uttered the immortal words 'you can always stay at my house tonight if you want'....There were no signs of this even being a date

I must have been TREMENDOUSLY naïve

Anyway, when he offered me for this 'sleep over' ahem - I said I was going to the shop over the road to buy some cigarettes

And I ran.
and ran
and ran

For about half an hour I ran in the direction of my parents house....and when I was about a minute away from my parents house, he caught up with me

Oh dear god - I nearly passed out - and I explained to him that I didn't want a relationship, I thought we were friends..

and we continued to be friends for a few years after until he moved away - often laughing about our near-miss at romance

That was some funky train that I didnt even know I was on

You ran away and he chased you, how bizarre

Well I wet myself on a date so....

I once went on a date with a guy. The first thing he told me while we sat down for coffee is how he didn't think he was relationship material as he doesn't like compromising. Bit miffed about that as I had been on a train for almost 2 hours to go meet in a big city closer to where he lived and then what am I doing here, but I liked the city, so decided to stick around for that at least. The entire date I just kept thinking he's lovely but whether I should offer to help him come out to his family as it was so clear to me. All in all a pleasant if a bit "off" day was spent and he asked me out again at the end of it, said I didn't feel a spark but we could be friends so remained "friends" on SM. Years later he posted he was in a relationship with a man, I pretty much shouted "FINALLY" (cue my current partner looking at me funny until I explained), commented under it that I was happy for him. He messaged me back saying "you knew didn't you?" All in all a pleasant and happy outcome and definitely a date I'll never forget!!

I had a second date with a woman that worked as teacher for kids with special needs, she also did respite care for some of the kids unofficially, she brought one of these kids to the date without telling me in advanced, which was weird enough, then told me she wanted to adopt this kid as the parents don’t look after her properly and would I want to adopt a child with complex needs in the future. I said no, she then became irate and asked me to explain why, I said because I don’t want think it’s something I would be happy or good at taking on and questioned if the parents knew she wanted to adopt their child. She said no, but was very angry that I wasn’t prepared to adopt this child with her!

People can be so weird... 🌹

I was 30 and it was my first ever speed date. A young geeky looking guy sat down, he was in a suit which was a bit odd it was more of a jeans kinda thing, and he just launched into a rehearsed speech. It went something like:

You are my 125th speed date. My only goal in life is to become a Conservative MP, there is nothing that will distract me from this. My wife will need to be right leaning. I never want children. You may think I'll change my mind one day but I won't.

On and on he went and my face was like 😮
Eventually he said
I can tell you aren't interested but we have a minute left, I might as well ask what you do?
I told him I was a personal injury lawyer and he laughed and said
OH MY GOD you're an ambulance chaser, I could never be with ambulance chaser.

And that was that. I wonder what happened to him.

Another one, all his pictures were mouth closed. His teeth stuck out from his face at virtually a right angle, he could have eaten an apple through a tennis racket.

Omg you actually win haha

I was chatting on line to a man that said he was a landlord.I thought the pub scene could be fun .
Um No he rented out two of his bedrooms in his house .
Another one ...
Met him , he gave me the wrong post code .( relevant later)
Turns out he was the hench man for a drug ring up north . A rather big one with houses abroad.
He was sniffing a-lot when we face timed .
I stupidly thought he had a summer cold .
The reason he gave me the wrong addresss was in case I was "The Old Bill"
You couldn't make my dating history up .
My boss at the time ( ex army ) had to tell me I was dating a mercenary. I had no clue but after giving my boss brief details he couldn't believe I was so clueless.

2 stand out:

A set up by a mutual friend. Met him, seemed pleasant initially, he asked how I got to the pub. I mentioned that because it was raining & I was running late, I grabbed a taxi - he very abruptly told me that it was very frivolous because if I had taken a bus I would have saved at least €7.70!!

Then he mentioned I worked in finance amd he said "bet you pay off you credit card in full every month"...am yes, I do. "Bet you are good at saving"..."um, yes I try"..."how much have you got in savings?"...."that's a bit personal for a first date, don't you think"..."well if I'm considering talking you on as a wife in future, I gave a right to know!"..."WTF?" Needlesss to say, I ended the future wife interview there and then.

Second one....OLD...I arrived, he stinks of weed & is clearly high. He gets the first round in. Conversation stilted but mainly re holidays - he doesn't like anywhere I've been but OK, I decide I'll get the next round just to return the drink but am leaving after that. Conversation gets worst racist, homophobic etc. I say I have to go and he asked for another date. I politely decline and get up to leave. He starts yelling across the bar "you suck up judgmental bitch, think you are too fucking good for me, you bitches never give men under 6ft a chance"... Barman & customers hold him back from following me.

Both absolutely bonkers. I'm also just about 5ft so height doesn't come into it.

Aibu is not just for fun.

Ask in Chat if you must.

Same! We'll kinda... Early 20's met this guy at a bbq invited him over for drinks the next Evening. He was in my kitchen and I needed a wee. My bathroom was right next to the kitchen and for some reason I didn't want him hearing my wee... tried to hover (no clue why I felt the need but whatever) pissed all over myself!! When I come out I tried to style it out with " It's so hot I'm gonna get changed." He responded with "No need sexy jeans"
He slapped my piss soaked arse, you could literally hear the squelch!! Both mortified.

Another guy I met online, Hot!!! So gorgeous and lovely to me but the sex was so crap, He couldn't cum. Later found out this was probably because of his cocaine addiction but at the time I blamed myself.
So one night I was determined to crack this lack of orgasm. Rode like my life depended on it, it worked! But at the very moment he see fireworks he literally screams.... MUM! MUM! MUM!
I didn't see him again after this.

I am sorry you are offended by a lighthearted thread

I’m new at dating again after a long relationship and nothing hideous so far but a few pretty awkward ones

• The one who told me before I’d even finished my first drink that he knew as soon as i walked in that I could be the one. Then proceeded to moan about moody menopausal women who’ve kept themselves go - he was 55 and significantly overweight.

• the one who told me to put my purse away and dinner was on him. Then talked about himself non stop with his mouth full of food. When bill came up he asked for a VAT receipt and told me (and the waitress) it was on god company card so he was claiming it back on expenses.

• the one who turned up in crumpled grubby clothes that looked like he’d slept in them. Had one orange juice that he nursed for about 45 minutes barely saying a word then announced he had to go to Tesco.

• the one who turned up to a casual Saturday afternoon coffee in a suit and tie, sat on his hands when the hill arrived then got tearful when I said I didn’t want to continue the date by going to dinner. And that evening left me a VM saying he was devastated that I didn’t feel the same about him

Its been a fantastic experience 🤣🤣🤣

Though none as bad as my mate who went on a date with a guy who turned up wearing a very obvious wig. He tripped on step on way to the bar and when he sat back down his wig had gone wonky. She debated telling him but then thought she had to and he got quite stroppy with her do she ended the date. He texted that night and asked ‘did the hairpiece put you off?’

A guy sprayed his hairline and hair on with what I assume now was womens root spray. It rained on the date....

This is not mine (honestly !) but one a friend told me and I still laugh about years later.
she’d been seeing a guy a few weeks and been out for a few dates and he then invited her round to dinner at his.
Going well they had a lovely dinner but she needed a no 2!
It didn’t flush … she’d tried for a while and couldn’t get it to disappear so she scooped it and rolled in toilet roll and hid it in her handbag 🤣🤣🤣

He told me to "look posh" as he was taking me "somewhere really nice." Did my hair in a fancy updo and wore a dress, jacket and heels that I'd worn to a wedding. He turned up in jeans and a polo shirt and took me to an inner city pub. The kind of pub where everyone else is in jeans and playing pool/darts/dominoes. I looked like a right idiot all dolled up and everyone was giving me "who the f does she think she is?!" looks. I felt really awkward and uncomfortable. If he'd said the pub we were going to, I'd have worn jeans and a casual top and felt a lot more comfortable as I wouldn't be drawing attention to myself.

He then started planning our second date and wanted me to bring my children and we'd have a family day out bowling or swimming or something. I said no as I didn't want to introduce my children to someone on a second date, and somehow that meant I was calling him a paedo?! Second date never happened.

Another one met me for a coffee and informed me he'd lied and he was actually still married and living with his wife. Got the usual rubbish about how he was just staying with her because it's easier, they never have sex and all that twaddle. I said I wasn't interested. He then bombarded me with messages claiming I was the one, he'd never had feelings before like this and a load of crap like that. I ignored that and said I wasn't interested.

I didn't realise he'd joined a Facebook group I'm in and he noticed I was attending a night out with some others in the group. He turned up at the pub and claimed he was ready to leave his wife and wanted to move into mine. Told him no. Sent a message on Facebook telling him to leave me alone in future. His wife saw that and shit hit the fan. He vanished from social media and I don't know what happened after that.

Once went for a coffee with a guy who did not stop talking. I simply couldn’t get a word in.

Within 20 minutes he was telling me how we couldn’t visit the US or Canada (I can’t remember which) because he’d been in prison. I did actually manage to interject then with a ‘what for?’ but he told me he didn’t want to tell me or discuss this. Well the red flags were waving and I managed to make my escape eventually. Shortly after we parted ways, he texted me to offer me some feedback on my date performance. Actually phrased as ‘would you like some feedback on how you came across?’. Out of curiosity I said yes and he told me I was too quiet… genuinely wasn’t sure when I was supposed to speak! It was absolute non-stop talking at me for the entire hour. Decided to never reply…!

Oh I just remembered two more! One date who told me he was a spy and a speed-dater who was mute ( allegedly ) 😆

I went out on a second date with a guy that I’d already told that I wasn’t that interested in . But he turned up outside my work and I had no other plans so I agreed to go for a drink. We sat down in a bar and I watched him go and talk to the staff and a few minutes later the waitress walked towards us with a bottle of champagne and glasses on a tray and all the rest of the staff were walking behind her grinning. He then dropped to one knee and popped the question!

I leapt up, told him to fuck off and then left the bar pronto and jumped into a black cab. Unbeknownst to me he did the same and followed me home. He then gave me a sob story about having nowhere to stay and because I was a bloody fool (but also had a male flat mate who was home) I gave him a blanket and said he could sleep on the sofa. It was still early but I went to bed. I woke up at 6am to find him naked at the end of my bed having a wank.

I called my flat mate and together we threw him out into the hallway with his clothes out after him.

I found out some months later that he was a bigamist.

😂😃
