what happened?

I would love to hear what made you realize it was the worst date you ever had! Was it where he took you? Did he have no clue about geography? Did he do or say something crude? Did he have a comb over and look like a toad, but thought he was a good looking hunk? Let's hear the stories of the "worst date" when.......

BTW: I've had a list of them! But I'll share one in particular later..

well hmmmmmmmmm. I went on a lunch date with this guy who was a night nurse at a small out of town hospital. He shows up for the date 15 minutes late and then says "you'll forgive me because I'm so loveable". Yeah right! Anywhoo, we have our lunch and he keeps saying what a "hot hippy chick" I am. Then he rambles on and on during lunch and just switches from one subject to another without stopping.

Also he had a weird "bowl" haircut and had self tanner between his fingers. He was one WEIRD dude! Lucky for me he talked so much that I didn't have to worry about trying to talk to him! HAHAHAHA

He emailed me later apologizing for being so wacky and that it was because he had been up all night working and had taken "something" to keep him awake and it had made him hyper.

OK...this happened when I was about 7 months pregnant. My husband had decided he wanted a divorce..and moved a chick in..so I decided I'd start dating lol...bad idea when ur 7 months pregnant...although I did feel hot lmfao

Anyways..my sister hooks me up with this country boy that got his glasses from where she works..he's ok with my being pregnant..so he pulls up to my parents house in this beat up old chevy..which I don't mind..the vehicle doesn't make the man..and we go to my family's yearly hayride in October..which it's freaking cold...so this dude wasn't very attractive to me...he just wasn't my type...not that i'm not open to new things..but I didn't feel anything for him.

So all during the hayride when someone would say something he'd have a perverted comment about it in my ear...which yeah..sometimes they were funny..but this is my family here...and i just met you...could u cut back with the sicko jokes?? lol

after the hayride we went back to my parents house and talked in front of the house...and all of a sudden my face was swallowed whole by him! ABSOLUTELY SWALLOWED!! I couldn't breathe....he couldn't keep his hands off of my belly for one...and my daughter was kicking like crazy..lol..don't ask me why..she must have sensed how horrible it was lol...but that was the worst date i've ever been on...i've never had my face swallowed before lol..it was an interesting experience I never hope to go through again lol

Needless to say, I didn't return any of his phone calls...and I ended up back with my hubby about a month before I went into labor...although now i'm back on the dating scene lmfao

OK - here we go.

Met this guy through an online "divorced" group we both belonged to. Seemed nice enough, average looking, divorced with one child, after a couple of phone conversations, we decided to meet.

I'm a big one for "I'll meet you," and he said he'd take the train and meet me at a restaurant about 5-8 miles from my house. OK - we get there. He's wearing jeans (no problem) and an obviously OLD OLD OLD OLD t-shirt - faded - with the word "Adidas" on it. Again, ok.

We sit at the table, and he says he's not really hungry, but I can order "whatever I want - don't worry about the money" (like I was going to - if he couldn't afford to pay, I'd cover myself rather than sit there and look like a fool). During dinner, he admits that he works part-time at Shop Rite (and someday I hope to make full-time), didn't pay his child support (hey, what am I supposed to do, you know? I just don't have it), and rarely, if ever, saw his daughter (because he had lost his license for - you guessed it - drunk driving).

Lived with mom. OK - things aren't bad enough (usually I hit the pavement the minute someone tries to rationalize not paying child support, but constant texts to my son begging him to call me with an emergency went unanswered because his phone was dead). We go into the bar adjoining the restaurant (because evidently losing his license didn't motivate him not to drink), and the entire time we were at the bar, he played video games - against the computer on the bar.

I kid you not.

ANd that was the last date I'd had for about a year and a half - until Mr. Lying Sack of Sh** came along.

Anyone wanting to know why I maintain a strict "no dating" policy need only look at my history.

Ok, I was trying to think of the worst date and I couldn't come up with which one is so I narrowed it down too:

The guy that picked me up in his mercedes and then asked me to have sex with him. This was while he drove out of my parking lot. Needless to say, I said the date was over and stepped out. (high school days)

The guy I met in Germany who planned out our wedding and honeymoon after having met me for 15 minutes.

The guy that didn't take No for an answer and wouldn't stop touching me. I said I wanted to go home and then he wanted a kiss and I had to smack him several times with my purse to get him off of me and rush into my car.

The guy that was married but said he was single and I found out during dinner, nope, he's not, his wife showed up at the restaurant to "suprise him" and filed for divorce. Needless to say, we never stayed in touch, but his X and I did. LOL

The guy that asked if I needed to go back to my "dogs? I mean... kids". UH?? What? Next.

The one that said he was sooo good looking that I wouldn't be disappointed when I saw him, because he had no time to send a pic. That was recently remember? The combover that looked like a Toad?

Then of course we had the blind date that was soooo repulsive ugly, I couldn't eat my food and look at him at the same time. Later, a few weeks later, he invited me with some of my/his close friends to have a bbq at his house with all kids welcome. He kept scooting next to me, and I scooted further from him until I scooted all the way across the room and had to leave. LOL.

The guy that decided it would be romantic to SHARE a plate, like lady in the tramp and then ate my portion too.

OH YES...... Then of course the guy that would start shouting obscene and rude gestures to every woman that walked by our table during dinner. Yup, that lasted only a few minutes too. Funny thing, he called back to tell me what a great time he had and I said, great, glad you did, I didn't. Ciao!

And all the frogs, the scum and the mess was worth it, because I have such a wonderful man with my "M".

I don't think I have had a really bad date, had lots of bad kissers though. lol

The only date that comes to mind that I can say was the worst was when I first started OLD after separating from my ex. The guy owned his own business and seemed like a truly nice guy. He had a good sense of humor too. We met at a restaurant for dinner and then he wanted to know if we could ride by his house so that he could let his dogs out for a few minutes. He didn't live far. Raised red flags for me BUT I figured I could run like hell if he tried anything AND I had my car. lol

So we stopped by his house to let the dogs out and asked if I wanted to watch a movie (uh huh) and if I wanted some wine or beer. I told him that I didn't want either but that was fine with the movie. I even forget what the movie was but that may have been because he tried to jump my bones! He went ahead, after I told him no, and poured me a glass of wine. I took maybe 2 sips. We were sitting there and of course then he started making the moves. We did kiss for a little while but nothing heated. Well all of a sudden he starts putting his hands where they shouldn't be going and I told him to stop. He kept telling me that it was okay and just enjoy it and I'm like freaking out. I got up and told him that I needed to go home and thanked him for dinner.

That one kind of scared me because he seemed like a nice guy but I guess I should have seen that one coming. I was so fresh on the dating scene and I hadn't dated in 10 years. Needless to say, THAT doesn't happen anymore! lol

I have to agree with Moody and Soonee, a lot of guys I have dated have lied about their height, sometimes about their weight, but mainly height. Do they think we won't notice? I actually had one guy, who was as tall as I am which is 5'4" but put 5'9" on his profile, tell me his mom was 5'and his dad was 5'5" and he just didn't know where his tallness came from! All I could say was "I'm not sure either." lol Hello!

Your post, and that of the whole thread, shows what strong women we are here - to put up with all we do and have done. These are all just crazy stories.

It is just amazing as to what is out there in our world. I would almost go so far as to say that if you just rolled the dice your odds would be that "he" is a loser. It takes real time and effort to sleuth out a good one!!
