Following from my thread, just to make me feel better that it's not only me who attracts these kind of people.

I seem to have had a run of them lately. Before the last one there was a university lecturer. I thought how nice he seemed until he sent me a picture of his wife's grave. I had no idea to respond to it!

The guy I wrote about in my thread also kept kissing me while he was talking to someone on the phone. For some reason this really pissed me off!

Many of the men in this thread sound like they need a restraining order!

Yesterday i bumped into someone i very briefly dated 26 years ago when we were both teenagers. He kept going on and on about how we could have worked out etc etc ...how every time he sees me from a distance in town he thinks "cor i fancy a bit of that" Confused HES GOT A PARTNER FFS. Feel sorry for her whoever she is. He still talks and acts like a teenage boy and hasnt moved on since 1990.

Who are these ppl who just dont move on from a certain time. Its like they are trapped in a time warp.

I pointed out we were only young at the time which didnt go down well.

HelenaDove · 10/03/2016 23:19

We never slept together....it was just dating.

Quityabitchen · 11/03/2016 06:52

Not a guy I dated but a creep of the highest degree.

Me, 17, first driving lesson, nervous as hell, almost hyperventilating with fear.

Him, middle-aged, florid of face with serious hygiene issues, puffing on a liquorice roll-up. He reassuringly told me, with his hand on my thigh, "you don't wanna be scared of driving luv, you wanna be scared of me getting you in that backseat and raping you, hahahaha."

Result, I never did learn to drive with him, and his flourishing career as a driving instructor juddered to a halt after I told my horrified parents why my first driving lesson ended so abruptly.

Icompletelyunderstand · 11/03/2016 08:28

Christ, I hope you reported him, but I bet you didn't, did you?

At seventeen we often just put things down to weird experience without realising that we have a right to make a fuss and take it further. I know it did, but I'm old so it was a slightly different world back then.

GripingPain · 11/03/2016 09:06

OLD experience. Met the guy for a drink in a pub more local to him than me. He seemed nice enough but obsessed with the time so I figured it was going really badly.

Turns out he had a tag on his ankle for some sort of violent crime! He said we had to go back to his bedsit (not the house he'd told me about) by 8pm. I declined and he sent me threatening messages for weeks. He'd used a fake name too and when I went digging I found out he's quite a prolific troll. Anders Brevik is his hero. I seriously dodged a bullet there.

Handypandy · 11/03/2016 09:42

Quit - that's awful.

It reminds me of a driving instructor I had some years back.

On my first lesson, he advised me to hold the gear stick as though it was my husband's penis.

I wish I had reported him. He was a useless teacher anyway.

OrionsAccessory · 11/03/2016 09:45

My first boyfriend when I was 14 wanted to be an army sniper and would tell me regularly that if he was sent on a mission to kill me he would do it no questions asked Hmm he also told me that I was weak because I wouldn't choose to kill a child in the many 'me vs small child' scenarios he came up with. Fucking weirdo. Thankfully he never joined the army, he works in a call centre.

chunkymum1 · 11/03/2016 10:08

Once went out with a guy who quite early on told all his colleagues that we were going to be getting married later that year but to keep it quiet as we were getting formally engaged on his birthday in a few months' time. I only found this out when one of them congratulated me- apparently he had it all the details of the engagement party and wedding day planned out. He told me he hadn't wanted to ask me until he was definitely sure I'd say yes- god knows what he was planning to do to make sure that happened within few months, I ran.
Also had a guy a met in a club who called me every night for a couple of weeks. I got a bit twitchy when he told me how he's been discussing me with all his family but stopped answering after he invited me to join them all on a holiday. Could have been a very sweet guy I suppose but wtf.

js53 · 11/03/2016 12:47

The man who claimed on our first date he had more powers than Super Man and Bat Man put together ... And that he had enough money to buy all the National Trust properties in the UK ...
Went for a drink and he asked the barman to choose his drink so that he could return it if he didn't like it to get his money back ...
Then felt faint and laid down on the floor amidst the busy bar area ....

This thread has made me laugh loads over the last few days. there must be more stories?! x

emilybohemia · 11/03/2016 13:18

The compulsive liar and thief and compiler of a charming list of levels of attractiveness of my friends and I went mental when I finished with him and started kicking the dj box of the indie disco I went to a few days later. He had to be thrown out.

Another bloke I had only kissed once and not even dated came round and stood outside my house calling up at my window. My male friend was visiting and he was shouting up, 'Who is heeeee?' and me and my friend had to duck and hide from him.

Handypandy · 11/03/2016 16:34

A weird guy who wore a David Baddiel during sex and asked me to imagine that Mr Baddiel was shagging me.

Strange.

Also, he had removed his bathroom door so he could watch visitors me on the loo.

Handypandy · 11/03/2016 16:35

David Baddiel T SHIRT

Ooo... I just remembered another one.

Guy I worked with briefly when I was a teen and went on two dates with before I dumped him.
A couple of years later I worked in a shop and he got a job is a different location for the same chain. Apparently when he found out I was working there he told anyone who would listen that we'd had a really long relationship and that I'd been the love of his life.
The only reason I found out was because I was doing stocktaking one evening and the managers (who I was friends with) made a joke about it. I dread to think how much they took the mic out of him after I told them the truth as they thought it was hysterical and didn't like him at all.

PreemptiveSalvageEngineer · 13/03/2016 14:38

OK, what do er all think about this guy?

In my mind, I have no doubt whatsoever what would have happened on Wednesday

PreemptiveSalvageEngineer · 13/03/2016 14:39

We, not er. #badphone

Runner05 · 13/03/2016 14:57

Lol, yup, that kind of behaviour is about par for internet based dating. Guys for some reason think that "no" and "not interested" are up for debate and if they whine or berate you enough you will change your mind and want to go out with them Hmm

lottielou7 · 13/03/2016 17:33

The guy I've just finished with had wedding pictures on his Facebook and he looks as if he's trying to break his wife's hand as they cut the wedding cake - he's gripping it so hard! Why I didn't have more concerns from the beginning is beyond me...

I went out with a guy once when I was much younger, early 20s and he was a student. He wasn't very experienced. First time we got it on, he came in his pants. Wasn't a massive deal. I'm not judgemental like that. He was young and inexperienced.

Anyway, the next evening we were going out with some friends for dinner and one of them asked him how things were going with me.

His reply? 'Well, we had a bit of a premature problem last night'

He said this to the whole fucking table. WHY would you want to tell everyone that? WHY?

I dumped him at that very moment.

lottielou7 · 19/03/2016 22:19

Omg - how embarrassing for you! I had a premature ejaculator too. The first time he came before getting anywhere near me. The next time he lasted about 3 thrusts Hmm I actually think it's a bad sign in anyone over 15 unless they're just really nervous.

My first boyfriend was obsessed with women farting Confused - not that he ever heard me as I made damned sure he didn't & I'm an impressively loud farter but with a sphincter of steel He used to go on & on about really wanting to hear me fart Hmm

He also lived half a mile from the pub & would drive home after 5 pints of beer & be annoyed with me when I refused to get in the car Hmm

Rainbowlou1 · 19/03/2016 23:16

Ashamed to say I have so many examples...Blush
When I was 20 I was a nanny for twins, I bumped into an old friend I'd briefly dated when we were 15..we chatted swapped numbers and met for a drink-in the pub he cried when I told him I was a young, free and single nanny having the time of my life..he said when he saw me in town he dreamt of us getting together and him taking on my boys as his own and us being a little family Shock
I met a guy through OD who asked me loads about myself but then compared my answers to his ex, eg ' do you have tattoos?' 'Oh you have 2 well My ex had 5' etc!
Then a guy I met through work and seemed ok took me out a few times, all good then he stayed at mine and brought a cd...he had actually chosen the song we were to 'make love' too Confused then proceeded to tell me he would love me and my dd more than anyone else in the world ever could (he had never met her!) he got really upset when I said he should leave and started crying saying he had been abused by nuns as a child and just needed someone to love him..he actually turned into a very scary stalker and I was terrified of him!!!

I had one a loooong time ago who cut my brake pipes and threw a brick through my bedroom window after I ended it. Feels like a different life now when I think about it.
