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 ☺️

@Annunaki I wonder what the job was... what happened in that house?! Glad you kept your wits about you.

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.

So it wasn't the first date but the second.
Date 1.
Was a guy who worked in the same building and we kissed at a night out, then organised a date. Went for a drink (I was driving so i had 1 drink) then the cinema.
In the bar he went to the loo & I was texting my pal that it was going really well & that he must like me because he was looking down my top - except that i sent the text to him. When he came back I told him what happened & he let me delete the message without looking at it.
I drove him home because it was on my way home went in for some kissing, then went home.

Date 2
He was going out in Glasgow & we arranged to meet in a pub. I get there and he was absolutely blasted - He'd been drinking the night before & hadn't sobered up.
He bought me a drink & I met some of his pals. He then decided that he was going to have a "cocktail" made of all the drinks from the top shelf of the bar.
So the barman made this monstrosity & he drank it. He then went to the toilet.
By this time he'd run out of money & I had to buy my own drinks.
About 20 minutes later I was worried as he hadn't come back. So the barman went to check on him & found him fallen over in the toilet. Barman helped him up & came back to the bar to tell me I had to take him home. Barman says I've got his guitar - tell him to get it during the week.
So I get a grip of him and we leave. He vomits outside on the pavement - then fell over & rolled in the sick. I help him up, only now he's saying he CANNOT leave without the guitar. I explain the barman has it & it's ok but no - MUST have guitar. So I go back in and get it.
We get into a taxi - Taxi man has seen the vomitting episode and kindly lets me know if he's sick in the taxi it'll cost £50 + the fare and I'll need to clean it up. I said he's already been sick it'll be fine.
On the way to his he's doing this strange thing with his face. I suddenly realise he's being sick in his mouth & swallowing it. I say do you need us to stop? No he's fine.
We get to his & his dad & little brother are there. Little brother (About 14) runs up and starts poking him in the stomach. By now Date can't speak. I say please don't do that. He's been being sick and swallowing it because we were in a taxi.
Brother jumps away looking horrified. Dad comes out & takes him into the house telling me he'll be fine. I go home.

Never heard from him for about 4 days - Turns out he was in the hospital with alcohol poisoning.

There were no further dates

I am a man 😂
Honestly, my dates weren't too bad at all
(whether there was chemistry or not)
Either I somehow pick sane girls or there are more sane girls then guys lol

Although there was a date I had in London where the last train back up north was cancelled. I had to catch a Megabus instead....which added 4 hours to my journey. Normally it was 2 hours on train. But I can't really blame the girl for that 🤣

4hrs... <faints>

I went on a date once where we fell about laughing telling each other stories of terrible dates. It was ace. He told me he went to the cinema on a first date from an app, terrible idea imo but whatever. She sat down and pulled out a bottle of wine she'd smuggled in and glugged the lot during the trailers... then pulled out a second bottle.

At some point in the evening he lent her his jacket as she was cold, and they both forgot and she went home with it on.

He said that's the only reason he asked for a second date - to get his jacket back Grin

Sort of weirdly enjoying these and it has reminded me of a first date in 1996. I was working abroad and had been very lonely. I had met a guy in an Irish pub (I know classy!) and thought he was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen in my life. I was young, there was lots of drink taken and we got together for the evening. He asked me to go on a date two days later and I hardly ate withe excitement for the next two days. We had arranged to meet on a bridge at 3pm. At that time ‘he’ arrived and my heart hit my boots. I won’t go into too much description but he was totally not like i remembered. I just have had beer goggles from hell. Totally not my type. Anyway he didn’t say a word and beckoned me to follow him and turned to walk towards the bar we were going to go to. I nearly wanted to run but was too polite. At the bar door he turned to me and said ‘sorry ‘mr date’ got held up at work and asked me to come to tell you he will be here shortly. It was before the wonders of mobiles. Anyhow the real date arrived half an hour later and was even more gorgeous than I had remembered. We got married seven years later and have three dcs. He is still so handsome and thoughtful. This memory makes me want to give him a hug!

And kind enough to swallow his puke on the second date 🤣

Did he eventually get it back??
Would be sad if she ghosted him after the first date lol

I swapped phone numbers with, and went out for a drink with someone I'd met on a night out (through a friend of a friend). Nothing unpleasant happened but the conversation was a bit stilted, there was no spark and neither of us mentioned a second date so I assumed we'd just leave it there. A few days later he phoned me, telling me he'd told his mum, sisters, gran and aunts all about me and they couldn't wait to meet me- then asked how long we'd need to have been seeing eachother before I'd feel comfortable going on holiday with them all.

I'm not sure if it's an urban myth or not but a story circulates in our town about a wedding being interrupted and then cancelled because an older family member realised the bride and groom were half siblings.

This is in NI, the couple had met in Dublin where they'd both been studying or working, not sure.

And what on earth is wrong with refering to someone as a girl??

They were adopted when they were very young so never knew each other existed

*He swung open the door and skirted me in the face with what I thought was a fire extinsher then slammed the door!?! (Later seen it was air compresser spray) I hold my breath while windmilling my arms to disperse whatever noxious substance hed sprayed and im now seriouslyfucking panicking. After 10 mins he jumps back in the car, said "Job done! Now the pub! " and off we went!

I don't get this - squirted you?

I don't know if it was in the news.

The story o got suggested infidelity & love child rather than adoption but could be embellishment.
