Another bad experience with the online dating thing

Met up with a bloke today for lunch. We've been speaking for a few weeks via msn/email and phone so we arranged to meet today at a brewsters type place for lunch.

We ordered coffee first and then half an hour later or so, our food arrived. Everything was going fine, we were chatting etc and then for no reason at all and with no explanation, he started scraping coleslaw from his plate onto the carpet.

I just stopped talking, waited for some kind of comment and he just looked at me and said "sorry about that, I hate coleslaw. What were you saying?" I laughed (nervous laugh) and said "Can't believe you just did that ... " and he said "well, better on the floor than on my plate" and he carried on talking about our previous topic.

We carried on talking until he later dropped a handful of chips onto the floor too before announcing that he was full. The waitress came along, stood in the mess and said "woah, what's happened here?" and he just said "oh yeah, sorry about that, I'm not keen on coleslaw". She looked really annoyed and said "and chips?" and he replied "no, I usually like chips but those ones had coleslaw on".

I'm giving up with the online dating thing, they're all freaks.

Anyone got any odd stories about online dating? reasure me that it's just me attracting the nutters.

Oh dear! Well you wonder why some guys are single.

I had a couple of strange incidents but also had some great times and then met dh. There are some great guys out there.

Good luck

BrokenFlipFlop · 12/05/2009 21:38

So what happened after the waitress had gone? You haven't finished the tale.

I know I would have simply walked away ... no sorry, run away.

NoNameNoOtherAlias · 12/05/2009 21:39

Sorry but that made me

foofi · 12/05/2009 21:41

How did you leave things with this delightful character? Did he think you might want to see him again?

civilfawlty · 12/05/2009 21:41

I went out to lunch with a guy once who asked me to wee in his mouth...

and one who cried about his ex...

and one who shouted because his sushi was to cold...

and... and...

lol @ cold sushi

Well I obviously couldn't get out of there quick enough, he paid, I waited for him outside (out of the view of the waitresses who were shaking their heads and pointing at him).

He came back out and genuinly didn't seem to see anything wrong with how the lunch had gone. He said he'd had a great time, despite the stroppy waitresses and would I like to do again this weekend...?

Naturally, I'm busy all this weekend, and for the foreseeable future.

Blimey I've heard some tales but this is mad They should've made him pay to clean the carpet. I bet they thought you were his carer?

YanknCock · 12/05/2009 21:54

That is amazing. I would have been looking around for hidden cameras or something.

DH had a theory, a not particularly nice one. He thought the guy might have decided he wasn't interested, and did this to put you off (so as to avoid the 'I'm not interested' conversation). Seems a bit of a stretch. Think he's more likely to be a somewhat well-disguised nutter!

That's why I liked to meet them quickly and not spend too much time chatting online. Don't want to get too invested before you get a chance to see the in-person nuttiness.

Sorry this has happened again. I remember your other thread about the weirdo who wanted to meet you alone round the back of the pub!

mrsboogie · 12/05/2009 22:28

omg I'm sorry but that is really funny (not for you or the waitresses obv).

Keep meeting them - you could write a comedy series out of these tales!

SerendipitousHarlot · 12/05/2009 22:51

Hahahahaha Sorry

If it's any consolation, I went on a double date once with my mate, we'd met these 2 blokes on a telephone chat line... remember those?

They picked me up and we went round to pick up my friend. One of the geezers got out of the car and knocked on her front door. And as he was waiting, he had a wee up her front wall. Right there.

I can remember another double with my sister.... me and my bloke were in the living room, and my sis was making coffee, and went for a wee. When she came back downstairs, hers was stark bollock naked in the kitchen He then pointed to his cock, and said the immortal line 'Look at that and tell me you don't want it' PSML

solidgoldSneezeLikeApig · 12/05/2009 22:55

There was a woman who wrote a whole book about different nutters people she had met through lonely hearts ads. Mind you she sounded like a miserable cow so maybe she attracted them...

brimfull · 13/05/2009 12:32

Bloody hell what a nutter!

I too would have been looking out for a hidden camera.

I also probably would have asked him to pick it up...and told him what i thought, wouldn't have been able to keep my mouth shut.

PortoPandemico · 13/05/2009 12:45

SH - PMSL . Did she want it by the way?

howtotellmum · 13/05/2009 13:15

I think I would have gone to the Ladies immediately and not come back.

Is this for real?

SerendipitousHarlot · 13/05/2009 14:47
