Worst date you've ever been on...

For me I think it's a toss up between going on a date with a guy who made completely inappropriate sexual jokes the entire way through (I'm not a prude either!) then asked me if I'd brought any viagra with me...or the 3rd date with a guy on which I found out through Facebook stalking while him was in the loo that he was in fact married...
So just a little light hearted thread....What were your worst dates? :D

Guy arrived on a skateboard wearing a leather jacket and what I can only describe as printed joggers. It was mid-90s but still.
Went for drinks, he got drunk really quickly said he hadn't eaten then treated himself to a manky Tuna roll that had probably sat on the bar all day.
Told me he thought I looked like a smart arse but was actually really nice .
Then tried to kiss me (beer and tuna breath) and spend the night with him and when I nicely turned him down he told me he was adopted. He just wanted someone to love him cos his real parents were bastards.
I avoided his calls.
A few years later it transpired we had a mutual acquaintance and he remembered me and kept angling for another date. Mutual friend couldn't understand why I wasn't keen as apparently he was a top bloke but didn't have much luck with love.

Guy from March years ago, arrived at the restaurant to be greeted by a man who looked nothing like his photos, wore a thick gold chain and had a dodgy eye. He sweated profusely throughout the date and kept having to ask for extra napkins to wipe off the sweat. Referred to his little lap dogs as "daddy's little boys"

Another date, first date, went to a nice restaurant had good food & conversation.
Briefly kissed by my car, I got home and he asked to see me again, I accepted. He then sent me a video of him having a wank safe to say that second date never happened.

MrsRolandRat · 30/04/2017 08:38

Match

NorksAreMessy · 30/04/2017 08:58

VIDEO OF HIM HAVING A WANK!

Oh my actual!
How? how? could anyone think that was anything other than appalling and offensive?

emilybrontescorset · 30/04/2017 09:18

The first date I had whilst old. As soon as he got out of the car I knew I didn't fancy him. He had only put one photo online and that was just his face, I could see why.
Anyway to be polite we went for a drink. He then proceeded to talk about where we would go for our next date! He then told me he only had one testicle, owned a gimp mask and that he couldn't wait to get me into bed to tie me down and whip me!
He explained that he was already committed to a holiday with his friends in an apologetic way. I said that's totally fine I've booked a weekend away with friends( UK) and he started to sulk saying what if I met somebody else.
We said goodbye. He texted me I wished him all the best but he wasn't what I was looking for.
He then sent several more messages begging me to see him again, saying how lovely I am etc etc.
In the end I blocked his number.

Lovemusic33 · 30/04/2017 09:25

I have had a few bad dates.
One man who spent most of the time telling me about his ex wife, even thought I would like to hear about their crap sex life .

I had a date recently with a man that looked nothing like his photo, he was twice as wide, not atractive at all, we went for a coffee and I found him so boring, couldn't make conversation about anything as he had no interest in anything other than staring at my boobs, I had to fake a phone call, told him one of my kids was ill so I could leave early.

melody2967 · 30/04/2017 09:26

Held his fork in his fist like a toddler, made my teeth itch

emilybrontescorset · 30/04/2017 09:26

I had a date with a man who had clearly airbrushed his photos.
Kept stopping mid sentence to tell me how beautiful I was and was I sure I'm the age I said that I was.
He then asked to look at my feet, okayyyyy. He then bent down, unfastened my shoe and began to massage my foot, all on the first date.
When it was time to leave he walked me to my car, kissed me and asked me to get into his car.
I made an email fuse about having to get home to my DD.
He texted me afterwards and when I declined to meet him again went into a rant about how I should live my life and stop worrying about DD!!!!!
Again I blocked him.

Emmageddon · 30/04/2017 09:39

This thread has reminded me of a horrible date I went on, he was much shorter and much older than he'd claimed to be (a common OLD thing it seems), and although he'd said he was a non-smoker, reeked of fags.

He'd also come straight from work and was a bit unkempt and sweaty - not in attractive way, wearing stonewashed jeans and a pleather jacket. Imagine a budget Jeremy Clarkson if you will.

He told me I was a goodlooking woman and he'd got a bet on with his mates I was a "goer". This was all while paying for a round of drinks using a pocketful of change, then said I'd have to pay for the rest of the night as he was skint.

I gave him a fiver for my drink and went to the toilet home.

WipsGlitter · 30/04/2017 09:41

One where he was probably nervously and just talked non-stop. Then said "are you always this quiet? Ok you talk now". Bizarre.

On OLD one where he said he looked like George Clooney. Father Jack from Fr Ted was more accurate!! Was really loud in the cafe.

yetmorecrap · 30/04/2017 09:47

One who talked about nothing but sexual stuff and my boobs , clearly wanted an airhead bimbo too and that I am most definitely not. I'm not sure why the hell any bloke would think a woman wanted to talk about sex on a 1st date!! This was a middle class professional too

Imi22sleeping · 30/04/2017 09:52

I was went on a date with a guy who saw a pregnant lady and said whenever he sees a preganant tummy he wants to kick it cos it looks like a football. I made like a tree about three minutes later

Oysterbabe · 30/04/2017 09:54

I've had a few bad ones. One guy had his mouth shut in all his pics and turned out to have the worst teeth ever, they stuck out at almost right angles to his face. He could have eaten an apple through a tennis racket.

One of the worst was with a guy who turned out to have a serious degenerative disease and a life expectancy of 35-50. He was 35. He was an absolutely lovely guy and we had a lot in common but I was looking for marriage and children. Entering a relationship with this guy would probably see me becoming his carer in a few years. I would have continued seeing him if it wasn't for his condition and that made me feel like a very shallow and selfish person. He was very upset that I didn't want more than friends and deleted his account. I still feel awful about it.

Mangoandpassionfruit · 30/04/2017 10:01

The one where he told me about his first partner who died, she had needed his help for a long time after being very depressed, his second partner who still was in touch as she was in an abusive relationship and kept being raped and his last partner who he was in touch with every single day, he still saw her family most days and she was severely depressed but he was helping her through, they were even going on holiday together. When I asked if he was over her, he told me absolutely. He said he was looking forward to rescuing me and letting me become the person I really wanted to be in a relationship 🤔

usefultoken · 30/04/2017 10:02

I asked him why his marriage broke down (which may have been a bit too nosey), his reply? "there was a little bit of domestic violence of my part"

jmh740 · 30/04/2017 10:12

Was about 15 years ago met him OLD lots of phone calls seemed to have lots in common same sense of humour. We arranged to meet at Manchester picadilly which is about an hours drive from me he was on the train from London he lived some where near Manchester. The first clue was when he asked what I would be wearing. I told him grey trousers and a top he said he didnt think women should wear trousers and especially not on a first date. I met him at tge station he looked nothing like he said. He took me to a casino and was very touchy feely. He spoke a lot about his ex wife he was very bitter at about 1am when I was ready to drive home he said he would need to come back to mine with me because he lived with his parents and they wouldn't let him in the house that late!

BottleBeach · 30/04/2017 10:22

"there was a little bit of domestic violence of my part"
That is so appalling it's hilarious! What did you say?!

rosabug · 30/04/2017 10:23

Arranged to meet outside Charing Cross station. Within 45 seconds he took me by both shoulders, looked me in the eye and said "Sorry I'm going to go now, I'm just not feeling a connection". !!!

LookingThroughGaryGilmoresEyes · 30/04/2017 10:23

He then sent me a video of him having a wank

I received one of these. In slow motion... most disgusting and off putting thing I have seen; watching the emergence of pre-cum in slow mo...

Just why?

rosabug · 30/04/2017 10:25

Another one who told me he didn't want to sleep with me and then put his hand up my skirt - in the middle of a pub.

rosabug · 30/04/2017 10:29

Another one, with whom I tried to cancel our arranged date, but was persuaded as he lived nearby. Was overweight and wearing horrible white trousers. After 30 quite excruciating minutes in a cafe, he leaned in and whispered in my ear "Do you like bum fun?"

rosabug · 30/04/2017 10:32

"lookingthroughgaryGilmores eyes" - what is it with men and their need for you to see their cocks?? I received a massive cock pic while pouring milk on my cornflakes one morning - enough already!!!

user1482079332 · 30/04/2017 10:32

Took me to his local pub, offered me cocaine. I don't even drink real coffee I drink decaff

OutToGetYou · 30/04/2017 10:34

Showed me a photo of his mum's washing machine.

BottleBeach · 30/04/2017 10:37

Date #1 went really well- I fancied him, he was charming, we had lots in common, and I came away with a big grin on my face The only thing we disagreed on was astrology- he was really into it, I respectfully explained I think it is a pile of bollocks, and we moved on.

Then he emailed me in the early hours of the morning after the date, with a poem he'd written all about how amazing it had been to meet me. Ok, a little intense, I thought, but nice that he's keen.

For date #2, he suggested driving to the coast (2hrs away). The forecast was terrible, and it would have been dark, but he said we could bring towels and blankets to dry off after a walk, then sit in the car together in the moonlight and talk. By this point I was realizing we were not the perfect match. But I still gave him the benefit of the doubt, thought he was trying to be romantic, so I gently pointed out that sounded like fun, but maybe not on a second date, and we went for a meal instead.

When we got to the restaurant, he pulled out a book of astrology, and proceeded to read aloud to me, in the middle of the restaurant, for about 20 mins, passages he had bookmarked explaining about each of our star signs, and the ways they interact with each other. He seemed oblivious to the expression on my face, which was a mix of

I called him the next day and said I didn't think we are suited, and he gave me a lecture about how I need to open up more or I will never find love.
