Funniest/weirdest first date?

I've heard all sorts on here when it comes to dating. I'd like to hear any crazy first date stories. Funny ones are good but don't mind serious ones either ☺️

Travelled 2 hours for a first date. Had been chatting months. He came by train and lived in the sticks. Didn't fancy him face to face. Had a nice date, but was planning on never seeing him again.

Got back to my car to drop him to the station to find out it had been broken into and some of his stuff had been stolen (keys, train tickets etc cash) i had an ipad stolen. All locked in the boot but they had jimmied the driver door lock and undone it. By the time we had sorted what had happened the last train had gone.

I'm a nice person. And I trusted this guy I ended up having to bring him home with me and him sleeping on the sofa and then sort out train etc the next day. I ended up buying him his train ticket (he paid me back) but it was just horrific!! Lol I laugh now. But I was not back then.

Damn

There's a lot of foot loving about these days 😂
Although if someone is willing to show that much affection to some smelly feet, then maybe they'd show a lot more in other areas to.
My feet would definitely put anyone off for life through lol x

Woah

That's very brave and trusting of you ☺️
Hopefully the thieves were caught (doubt it though) x

I got someone else to come and stay at my house with me, it was just insane! But at that moment in time there was no other option that I could think of. No never got anything back, cost me loads for the car lock x

PeppaPigsBonnet · 13/10/2022 07:04

I went on the first date with a guy the same day I'd had a small partial upper denture (with one tooth on it) fitted.
We met in a pub and he bought me a G & T with ice and lemon. I decided to suck the lemon and somehow it got caught up in the metal retainer on my dental plate. I fiddled around in my mouth to try and loosen it but only succeeded in loosening the plate. I was frightened I was going to choke so spluttered and pulled hard and the whole lot popped out and fell onto the pub table.😳
The guy looked amazed and excused himself.
I thought he'd gone to the loo but after 15 mins I realised he wasn't coming back.

Meltingsocks · 13/10/2022 07:31

The guy who announced in the first few sentences he was still living with his ex, as they'd been co-parenting for 5 years

And later called me a c**t.

Good thinking!!
Sounds like the beginning of a horror or porn movie though. I don't know which would be better lol x

I had just turned 18 met this lad in the beer garden of our local pub.
(Dad walked me there)
This lad called him dad. It turned out he was his dad as well.
I ran out with dad following. Gets home crying. He had to explain to mum.
It all kicked off as mum didn't know.
My Dad had got this other woman pregnant before I was born.
Needless to say mum and dad divorced and if I see my dad now this lad
is my half brother.

I met up with a guy with whom I’d been texting and interacting online for a few weeks. On text, he came across as articulate, witty and engaging. In person, he could not maintain eye contact, much less a decent conversation. He eventually fessed up that his brother had done the texting for him, as he struggled with social interaction but he had come on the date hoping I wouldn’t notice the difference…!

Sparklfairy · 13/10/2022 09:47

Recently I went on a date with a guy I'd randomly got chatting to waiting for the bus. He came across so nice, polite etc.

Come the date and I think his evil twin turned up! He bragged about how hard he was, alluding to dealing drugs and being "gangsta" and how nobody crossed him. Told me a story or two about people he'd beaten up for some minor infraction.

He lived in a posh, quiet village outside of my city, with his parents. If he was "gangsta" it was because the only competition were pensioners.

Other gems he bragged about were being banned for drink driving, and continuing to drink drive anyway, and having a number of kids with "psycho exes" and fiddling his income so he paid no child support.

He was very surprised when I left after one drink and declined a second date "oh I thought we got on well!"

I guess that's why it's a good idea to always have a proper phone chat before any online meet up.
Although even then, in person is always different x

I arranged to meet a guy from OLD in a restaurant. He seemed very keen to meet me and said as he lived a fair way away he would book a room so he "could have a drink".
I was a bit suspicious about that but in those days I was a bit naive so I agreed
He told me he was some kind of security consultant who used to work in America in Area 51. I didn't know about area 51 but it sounded impressive.

We started the meal and he started to tell me about his previous job which was recording evidence of flying saucers and aliens. He did this in a really loud voice so everyone could hear, I began to get embarrassed.
He told me, quite seriously, that the "aliens" that people drew pictures of (with those big eyes) weren't aliens at all. They were creatures that lived in the earth and needed suits to protect them from the heat. Every so often they came to the surface via tunnels near the N & S poles and that's when people saw them.🤔

I realised by then that the guy was either taking something or was completely effing barmy.

I'm ashamed to say, I excused myself to go to the loo, but kept on going out into the carpark and drove off.

Not a first date but second date with a guy I travelled to his hometown which was over an hour from me, I’d got a hotel. It was clear from the off-set he had been drinking beforehand. We went to a lovely Italian restaurant but he only ate 2 slices of his pizza despite saying he enjoyed it 🤔to me that was a bit of an ick because I saw that as a bit of a waste.

Anyway he got more and more drunk through the night and was downing drinks and wanting to leave places and hop to the next before I’d even finished my drink. He also kept pestering to come back to my hotel even though I wasn’t ready for that. At the end of the night he went outside for a cigarette and the plan after that was to go home separately. It had been about 10 mins and he hadn’t come back in therefore I went outside and he was nowhere to be seen. I rang him and he said he was in a taxi on the way to his mates house and did I want to join him! No thanks, luckily taxi rank was right opposite and I got taxi back to hotel. He left me in a strange town on my own and then the next day tried apologising and asked if I wanted to see him again! Safe to say I didn’t.
