To ask what’s the worse date you have been on?

[Blueicepop]

Any one willing to share their worse dating experiences? I have been on a date this weekend and it wasn’t great. He just spoke about himself, didn’t ask me any questions and for some reason kept mentioning his ex.

I just like giving up with OLD!

No real horrors but through OLD:

1 - found out all his profile pics featured hats because he was bald down to ear level, which would be fine if he cropped the rest but no, long curly fringe all round the bottom of his head, like clown hair. Also turned up in grubby work uniform even though his shift thad finished hours before.

1. I suggested a country park cafe coffee then a walk round. Dead level walk route exactly 1.6km. He had listed running as a hobby. Turned up with a beer belly and had to keep stopping to rest, and barely made it to the end of the walk, obviously exhausted. Thought a goose and duck were mum and baby.

I went on a date with a guy who abandoned me to spend all of his time in the bathroom. Acquaintances of his he had greeted on the way in took pity on me as I was sitting on my own for AGES. They invited me to join them and I actually had a great night with them . My date kept re-appearing, buying himself a drink and disappearing again. I think he was in the toilet snorting coke all night. No more dates after that

You gave him "one last chance"? He couldn't help having a hypo 😳

Jesus talk about missing the point of the story....

@CrazyHamsterLady HOLY SHIT I was approached on OLD by bridge guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Years ago I also went on a blind date with a non-talker PoshHorseyBird which was painful. He just sat there, monosyllabic, not asking me anything either. It felt like the longest, dullest date in history even though I somehow managed to slink home early. Trying to get anything out of him was like pulling teeth.

I sometimes wonder if he ever learned the art of conversation, as without it we're sunk aren't we? He even asked for another date as he thought that I was really nice and felt like we'd got on. Can't remember what excuse I made. When I was young I was incredibly quiet and shy with little self-confidence and it taught me a valuable lesson - try to feel a little ashamed of yourself if you're the person who other people have to struggle to draw out as it were, so make an effort.

Someone once told my friends that his worst date ever was with me, but he would be prepared to give me another chance- despite the fact that I had never to my knowledge dated him.

I'd met NotDate, who was a friend of a friend, a few times when visiting my friend and her DH (who lived 100+ miles away from me). Whilst making small talk he told me that he was going to be working in my city for a couple of weeks soon. We exchanged some comments about how boring it was staying in business hotels alone for weeks and I suggested he could come for a drink we me and my flatmates at the weekend. He took me up on the offer and spent most of the evening talking about a shared hobby with my (male) flatmate- not a problem at all. NotDate said he'd call a taxi to collecting him from our place (round the corner) so we all went back for a coffee whist he waited. NotDate and flatmate were continuing their indepth discussion of ManHobby so after a few minutes I went to bed and left the to it. Flatmate told me the next day that NotDate's taxi didn't arrive so he had to call another one after I went to bed.

I heard from our mutual friends that we had been on a date that went really well- so much so that I invited him back. But then I suddenly disappeared and left him with 'some bloke' so he had to call a taxi in the early hours and had no idea what had gone wrong. Apparently he thought perhaps I might have felt unwell, or perhaps went upstairs to change and fell asleep, so he was prepared to give me the benefit of the doubt if I apologised!

Worked for a very large company with multiple offices all across the UK.
A guy worked a few floors up from me and we were quite friendly. One day he asked me out, we went to the cinema, I don't know what he'd had for tea but he had terrible wind!😱💨
I declined a drink afterwards and make a quick exit. We avoided each other after that and both moved to different offices and lost touch.
10 years later I started at a new quite small office and there he was! We both by some unspoken mutual agreement pretended we'd never met- worked together for several years and neither of us ever spoke of the incident!

I agree with Orange67. Either that story is made up or the poster's behaviour was really shitty. Nice storyline though.

The non talkers fascinate me. I wonder if they are painfully shy, socially inept or if its some kind of test. Or in the case before, just plain obnoxious.

I did go out with someone who seemed to think I was there to entertain him and yet failed (semi-blind date). He contributed very little to the conversation. I'm not a big talker myself but tried to get things going by asking him about himself. He gave very short replies and didn't ask anything in response then told me snappily that I asked too many questions. I should have left it there but we were part way through a meal so I persevered with a bit more chat. Almost everything I brought up he responded briefly and then looked bored and said oh i don't want to talk about that. Then when I was part way through telling him something about my job he snapped "I don't want to hear about it, it's boring". After that I pretty much stayed silent enjoying my food and looking forward to getting away. But that caused offence as well and I was accused of "being moody". In fact the only thing I remember him volunteering was that he thought it was "disgusting" that a mum was (discreetly) breastfeeding her baby a few tables away.

He was astonished that I didn't want to see him again and kept phoning and asking why. I said politely at first tht I didn't think we were a good match but he went on so much that I said I couldn't see much point seeing as he had seemed bored and irritated by me. He retorted "see, I knew you were a moody one". Good god.
