Bad Dates?

I have recently started a job on a construction site and I am amazed at the amount of attention I receive on a daily basis. I am single and open to going out on dates with the men who ask me and I've made a decision to give each and every guy who gets the courage up to ask me out a fair chance (except of course the ones that strike me as "predators" or "creepy"). Given this mantra of mine I've had my share of weird/bad dates that have really made me think.
I wanted to hear your stories of bad dates or weird dates or any sort of date that striked you as odd in anyway.
I have an example I wanted to share:
I was asked out by a man on the construction site who seemed very nice. We agreed to meet at the bar and when he showed up I guess he felt it necessary to explain to me why he hadn't driven to our meeting place. I wanted you all to understand that he brought this up IMMEDIATELY upon arriving. No chit chat or pleasantries, he told me that his licence had been revoked due to a drinking and driving incident where he hit a pedestrian with whom he didn't kill but "seriously f***ed up". These were his exact words and I got the distinct impression that he thought this little tidbit of information was going to impress me. Okay, I decided that I would overlook that as the date had just begun and try and have a good evening.
Flash forward to a couple of hours later where we ended up at my house where my roommate invited him in for a drink (unknowingly). He proceeded to drink all of my roommates liquor and when I tried to subtely end the evening, he didn't get it. I had drank quite a bit (trying to make the evening better) and felt I had to go to sleep and asked that my roommate show him out when they were done drinking. I woke up to my date in my bed with me cuddling with me. He wasn't touching me inappropriately but I mean, come one, what was he thinking (if anything at all)?! He then asked me if I liked "big c***s" and I didn't know how to respond, so I say what I always do when confronted with a question that catches me off guard, "Why do you ask" to which he explained the he was in possession of his very own and I should stick my hand down his pants to see for myself. Thankfully my roommate noticed that the date was missing and checked my room. He immediately threw him out and I explained in not so nice terms of my desire to never see him again.

Did you not feel him get into the bed with you?
I had a guy tell me he loved me AND that he was a virgin on our second date. Of course, I wriggled my way out of seeing him again. Six months later he showed up at a house I was sharing with my best friend. He had an X-mas present for me. Luckily, I was at work.
I had a 2nd date w/ a guy who raised a few red flags on the first one, but I agreed to go out with him again, mainly because he was cute. He came to my place to pick me up and proceeded to criticize everything in my home, from my books to what I had stuck to my refrigerator. When I say criticize, I mean literally laugh and point at things like an obnoxious 13-year-old kid. He said he wanted to have a drink before we went out, then drank 3/4 of the bottle of wine himself and by the time he was done, it was too late to go get dinner.
Sadly, I have several other dating horror stories, but I'll save them for another day.
