Somehow, a guy I barely knew decided I was perfect for his friend, and out of boredom at the time, I agreed to be set up on a blind date. So this guy picked me up and we went out to the local pizza joint for dinner. On the way there he found out I'm from around Annapolis, and thus the U.S. Naval Academy, which made him decide that a good topic of conversation was naval warship tactics, which at the time I couldn't have cared less about. I didn't know half of what he was even talking about, and he ended up getting mad at me for not being well-informed and lecturing me about the importance of the military. I believed the military was important, but as a 20 year old I was not all that interested in studying about it in my free time.

At the restaurant he asked me what I like on pizza and I told him pepperoni, which launched him into another tirade about how bad processed meats are for you. So we ended up getting individual pizzas and I loaded mine up with pepperoni, sausage and onions while he had vegetables and "light on the cheese".

After a way too long dinner, we went back to his car and found that the locks were frozen. It was February and there was about 18 inches of snow on the ground, ice everywhere, and the roads were barely clear. It was averaging about 25 degrees during the daytime. Well, this Einstein had washed his car before picking me up "so it would look shiny and impressive" (I think it was like a Gremlin--very impressive in its own right), not thinking that water in the locks on a freezing day would be a problem. (Plus it was dark by the time he picked me up so I didn't really see the outside of the car anyway.) So we walked to his friend's house, about half a mile away, in the snow and ice. His friend drove us back and I sat in the car, with my wet feet, while they tried to melt one of the locks by holding matches underneath. He finally got the hatchback open and could crawl in, but the whole passenger side door was frozen shut, so I had to get in the driver's side and scoot over.

This was my first, and last, contact with this guy, and I don't think I talked much to our mutual friend again either.

So come on, I know there are much worse stories out there. Let's hear 'em!

The worst date I ever had was back in 1997. I met this guy over the internet and we talked for a few days over the internet. We met at a Bennigan's here in town the first night we met in person to talk. He seemed okay.

Two days later we went on our first and only date. We went to an Italian restaurant and then to see a movie. Well the more I was around him, he just wasn't what I thought he was. Something about him annoyed me.

Later in a phone call I had told him that I felt this wasn't working out and he said alright. I used to talk in some AOL chats with people back then. I was just talking to someone on there one night casually and the guy I had dated got on there and started bashing me saying, "Yea, she will just go out with you and drop you." He made me so mad! Finally he got offline, but I noticed after that the guy I was talking to pretended he had to go and that was basically it. I haven't met anyone over the internet since that I would consider for a relationship.

My worst date hmmm digging through archives of the past in my dusty dating closet.

I was probably the bad date LOL. We went to a house party around halloween and my friend was dating this guy from Peterborough. He came up and brought a friend and I was asked to come along. The party was with people I did not know, I had ONE can of beer and put my beer down when I had to go to the ladies (now I know why guys put their beer on the back of the toilet). I retrieved my beer finished it and a few minutes later I was really dizzy and needed to go outside. I was curled up next a fence post to keep my bearings - totally freaked out and afraid if I moved I'd be really sick. My friends idea was that it would be good for me to get in my 'date's' nice warm truck - I kept saying don't move me don't move me! They moved me. Needless to say I couldn't get the window down in time and I was sick all over the guys truck. Talk about embarrassing. We cleaned up the truck - okay they cleaned up the truck and then dropped me off at home. Instead of going in the house to hear the wrath from my parents I went to the side of the house and passed out. It felt like cats were running up and down me. I finally came to and went in the house.

The next day the guy was really sweet. He called me to see how I was. I was mortified - I wanted him to forget me. He took me out to dinner and we still stay in touch after all these years. I still don't know what it was that was in my drink but needless to say I've never touched anything hard in my life - don't want to live that one again.

I went on a date with the wrong guy. I thought I was going with this guy who asked me out to a party. His best friend showed up at my door and the guy who asked me to the party had another date in the car. I didnt even know this guys name. I was so confused when he came to the door. It took til I saw the other guys date to realize what was happening. I guess it worked out ok.Just very uncomfortable!...and shocking!!! :eek:

I have had quite a few! :rolleyes:

I think this was a topic once before? Anyways...

It was a double date. My best friend,her date and mine. We went to eat first. At McDonalds! Strike 1! Then to see a movie, Price of Darkness. Strike 2! My date kept throwing popcorn down my shirt! Strike 3!!
What a loser!! I acutally had more fun with my best friends date! :rolleyes:

LMAO! The iced-over door locks story is just killing me! Dumbass.... :D

Hey ABC, you're from Annapolis? One of my best friends went to St. John's. (I have a feeling he wouldn't have cornered you on naval warships, heh!)

Anyway... my worst first date. Three words: "Heart and Souls." The worst Robert Downey Jr. movie of all time. First problem: I was only dating this guy to make somebody else jealous. Second problem: he was totally in love with me despite #1. Third problem: My plan to make my ex jealous worked, we got back together, and boy #2 wound up stalking me for four years. I can't get much more into the details, for fear of a bad flashback. :eep:

My advice: Stay away from Robert Downey Jr. on a first date, unless it is something cute like Chances Are!

If your friend went to St. John's, that would mean he is intelligent, and definitely not the kind of goofball this guy was.

Yes, I claim Annapolis as home. I was born there, met my husband there, got married there, and my two sons were born there, even 'tho I've really actually lived in the suburbs. I live kind of in the middle of Annapolis, Washington and Baltimore, but am closest to Annapolis.

LOL, sometimes! ;) Anyway, he loved living in Annapolis, and talks about it often.

My worst first date was in 1997. This guy and I had chatted over the internet and he seemed quite normal and decent. I knew his full name, where he worked (he owned an internet café), etc. so I felt pretty safe about meeting this guy. He lived about 1-1½ hours away from me and was going to drive up Friday to have dinner at my place. Friday morning I woke up and felt like s**t! I had a temperature of 39,5 (erhm...103??) and there was no way I was going through with the date. I called him at home. I called him on his mobile. Left messages both places. I heard nothing from him all day, but at 7 PM he showed up on my doorstep and demanded dinner. :eek: I was a mess - I was feverish, tired, looked hoorible, but he just looked at me like it was all my fault and said he wouldn't leave without dinner - having driven all this way and all!! What??! Had I been well I would have kicked that jerk very hard. :mad: I was so shocked, but felt so sick that I would've done anything to get rid of him so I made something really simple like pasta and a meat sauce. He had the nerve to complain that this didn't quite live up to his expectations and where were the other 2 courses?!! AARRGGGHHH!!!! Then he made himself at home and decided to drag me out to rent a video. He stayed until 1 AM and I was in tears by then - out of frustration, anger and from being tired/sick.

I have had the misfortune of having a few....but the one when I was in 10th grade was the worst!

My friend, Cathy, and her boyfriend thought I would be a good match for his friend, Terry. So, Terry called and asked me out. (The first thing I shoulda said was no...he went to Brush HS and that was Mayfield's rival.) I said yes. He picked me up in a Buick Regal and we went to dinner, at Denny's. (Ugh) Then, we met Cath and her boyfriend up at the theater. I don't remember what movie we saw, all I know, is that when we came out of the theater, Terry's car was gone!!! I didn't realize that the car had no power locks, so I didn't lock the car. Anyways, we went with Cath to the police department so that he could report it. My dad came to get me, and I didn't see him at all after that. Until I went to Kent State...turns out that is where he was going as well. We had another date, which also ended poorly. You woulda thought he would be wary of asking me out again. Although I never admitted to not locking the door.

To save the honour of men... :D

My worst date happened to me when I was in 9th grade...was a made up thing, one of the girls which lived in the house I also lived in thought she would do her girlfriend a favour by introducing her to me.
I´m really sorry to say but she wasn´t what I was dreaming of...I don´t give much on the way a girl looks, but she was definetly not my type. So I was in the uncomfortable situation of explaining to her that there was no kind of attraction from my side. While she was eager to make it allright for her, I was constantly thinking of getting out of this without hurting her emotions too much. Of course, none of my friends were around to rescue me, and she didn´t noticed my hesitation...in fact, she went down on me like the Wehrmacht on Poland. I really was glad when she finally left, and in the next weeks, I made sure not to cross her ways. Glad for both sides, this incident went to oblivion...until she turned up unexpected at my 19th birthday. She really had the nerves to give me a french kiss in front of my girlfriend...I was too embarrassed to say anything, but my girlfriend kicked her out of the room like a member of the Military Police, first being furious at her and then at me.

Sheesh...as if anybody could read the mind of women... :rolleyes:

Worst first date? Geez......I've had so many of them..... :rolleyes: I'd have to say...I had a date with this guy that I had a crush on for about 2 months. It was a double date with my best friend and his friend. We set it up a week in advance. Well, about 3 days before, I had to go to the hospital. Seems that the stress I had in my life (caused from other problems) had caused me to have a bleeding ulcer. If anyones ever had one, it is AWFUL!!! Anyways, I was on tons of meds which also made me sick to my stomach. I tried to reschedule the date, but he didn't want too. So, I went.
He took me out for pizza....WTF???...ended up in the bathroom, puking..
Then we went to the park. By then I was just feeling awful! I asked if he could please take me home. He reluctantly agreed. I was so humiliated! But, he still wanted to date me after that. I could never figure out why.
That was just one of the worst dates......don't think I wanna share anymore! :p

Wavemeister, you slay me. LOL :D

I'm still laughing at that one.

Can't think of any bad first dates myself. I'm sure I must have been the albatross around somebody's neck though at some point.

LOL Bogie!

An albatross! She left me for an albatross! With great.... big... loooong... wings!

(from the Bloom County Christmas Special, don'tcha know)

These are great! I love all these stories.

I think Kayenne's date wins for biggest asshole, with Mystie's a close second. Zel wins for scariest experince at the time, and Mary's date-turned-stalker runner up. DD86's stolen car story is a classic!

The worst date I ever had was a year ago. I went out to a dinner and a movie with this one guy. I had heard he had a crush on me, and I thought "Why not?" Dinner went okay, then we went to a movie. He had THE loudest laugh and everyone kept turning around to stare and laugh. I wanted to dig a hole right there, I was so embarrassed!
Anyway, he was my prom date also. I ended up dancing with friends that night, he kept making up excuses not to dance with me. Then the next Monday at school, he wouldn't even speak to me! He was a total loser. I haven't spoken to him since. :)

Okay! Worst first (and last) date. I take this girl dinner. She sits and reads from "Edgar Allen Poe" the whole time. I like Poe, but not for dinner conversation. Next off to the movies. "The man in the iron mask". When they clamp the mask on Diccaprio (sp), she turns to me and whispers in my ear, "If a man ever tried that with me, I would cut his balls off"! I didn't even shake her hand when I dropped her off. Just went home and had nightmares of John Bobbit.

Ok, frankly these stories are scaring me. (Thank heavens I've been safely married for the last 10 years!)

Here's my first, worst date story. The first of many worst date stories, but I digress. This one is actually a two-parter, in which I will be playing the part of the asshole who gets his just desserts (and how!)
Anyway, in 9th grade I was invited to go bowling by this young lady who I'd heard was smitten with me. It was a group function, so we were among alot of other young people. She was very shy and did not talk very much, so I struck up a convo with another, much perkier, young lady. So I spent most of the time talking to/flirting with the other girl, and (although I'd ridden there with girl #1's parents) I even had the nerve to ask girl #1 if I could ride back home with girl #2!
Well, needless to say, things were over with girl #1, so I asked girl #2 out to a party a few weeks later. I enjoyed her outgoing nature, however she was so outgoing that I found her in a secluded place at the party with another guy! :eek: Oh, the humanity!
To add insult to injury, I realized soon after that this was a classic case of "what-goes-around, comes-around", and I had noone to blame but myself. One thing I can say, after a few more of these experiences, I learned my lesson. :rolleyes:

my worst date was partially my fault because I didn't like her in the first place but being 20 at the time, I thought i could get lucky. (all you women can now booo and hiss at me) sorry but I was young. Anyway I take this single mother of 2 to a restaurant for dinner, right from the start I see were very different all she's doing is talking trash outloud, swearing, drug use, things she had done drunk. (mom didn't talk like this ). So after dinner we go to a bar, within an hour of trying to pick fights with other women she succeeded, and she beat this poor other woman like a rented mule. when the three bouncers finally dragged her out she sat outside with this huge clump of hair she had ripped out of the other girls hair. She was holding it up for everyone to see. So the next morning I decide I never want to see her again. However for months/years she continued to call my house , sometimes it would be 6 or 8 months without a call than bam, the phone would ring at 2 am, with her drunk on the other end wanting to know what I was doing.

:eek: Shakey and Cal! Them are some freaky dates! :p

the worst date I went on was in 9th grade - there was this girl in my class called Linda who was one of those 'posh' types that always speak with etiquette etc. and was always going on about how her 'Daddy' is going to buy me this and buy me that. She was gorgeous and I was terrified of her! she asked me if I wanted to go horse riding with her on her parents property. My word did I get excited, but before the big day came, I was a bundle of nerves (of course). When I finally went to her place after school, things got worse - her 'daddy' was one of those 'touch my daughter and i'll tear your arms and legs off and shove them down your throat' kind of guys.
I was so scared!!!! we went out riding and I kept my distance from her the whole time -
even when we had a rest stop and she was giving me obvious signals to kiss her - I would make up some lame excuse like 'we better get going before it get's dark' and stuff :rolleyes: - after that afternoon, she wouldn't talk to me at school anymore - she must have thought I was a complete loser!
I couldn't stop cursing myself when I got home, but at least I still has all my arms and legs.

Nolanbuc--did I date you? :p
Cal--very frightening :eek:
Retro--just plain sad :( , but I'm glad you survived to tell us about it :)

Hehehehe.....

I went to Chillis (sp?) restaraunt with a date. (her choice) We ordered their nachos that came with some hot peppers. Eventually the mens room called so I excused my self and took care of business. I washed my hands when I was done and made sure I was still looking good in the mirror before I went back to the table. ;) Problem is, although I washed my hands after using the mens room I didn't before I did. Alittle hot pepper juice on the pepper. :eek: Things got alittle hot back at the table needless to say. She still married me though. :D

Must have been that "hot pepper" :)

DUH!! Mirror, paging Mystie!! Will Mystie please go to the Mirror and have a look-see!

Kay, you should have told the jackass you left something in the house and you'd be right back...then locked him out. If he didn't leave after that, you could've called the police and told them their was a nutso trying to get into your house.

Mine was this idiot who dressed like an grave robber for the Homecoming dance (black JEANS! and a short sleeve black polo shirt - yeah, creep, I'm soooo turned on....NOT!!). Or we could count the goof at the carnival. Waited until the second day I met him there to tell me he had a girlfriend.

BTW, L98....LMAO!!! Hint: if it burns your TONGUE, wash your hands....lol

Had I been well I probably would've done something like that or I just never would've let him get inside the flat in the first place! What can I say - my brain was frying and I just never imagined anyone could be so inconsiderate!! :rolleyes:

I actually had another not-so-fun date shortly after. This guy was invited over for lunch at my place and everything was cool. We hung out at my place all afternoon and talked, watched a video, etc. Then in the evening he asked if we should go out to dinner and I agreed. Boy was I happy that something made my grab my VISA card before we left, because after we had eaten and the check arrived, he took one look at it, put down half the money and showed it over to me. I was a student on a student grant and he made like 10 times what I got. Had I not grabbed my VISA I'd been stuck doing the dishes! I was furious. :mad: Needless to say I didn't date for quite a while after those two experiences...then again...I've only been on 15 dates or so my entire life :D

LOL....probably not, I think you would've had better taste. :D
I just want to state for the record that I did not treat every girl I dated this way. (which explains how I managed to get my wife to marry me). LOL

Thanks, but I didn't have better taste. That sounds like 90% of my dates (although I must admit sometimes I was in your shoes. :rolleyes: ) So when my husband came along and didn't treat me that way, I snatched him up quick. :D

LMAO!! I know you didn't mean it that way (because buc is surely one of my best male girlfriends :D), but one could read that and think: Oh, she might have dated buc because she didn't have the good taste in men not to. I know you meant you dated guys who acted like he used to before, but it was still funny.

Sorry Buc, I didn't mean anything personal by that. :p
Thanks for pointing that out Puleeze. :rolleyes:

That's ok, I knew what you meant....I think :rolleyes: LOL!

Senior year in high school I was desperately in love with a guy who'd graduated the year before I arrived at the school (I was only there my senior year). I'd never met him but there was all this hype going on about him, he was a poet, an artist and I'd seen pictures of him. There was just something about him. I knew his sister as well since we had classes together and always felt awkward around her since I liked her as a friend and din't want to use her. His father was my English teacher and I used to decorate my notebook with the guy's name. You can imagine the paranoia I got just from having his sister come up to me while I was taking *that* notebook out of my locker.

Anyway, a friend of mine had met the guy's friend and we ended up becoming friends as well. He soon decided to take matters into his own hands and organised a meeting at the Bagel Shop. My two friends were there when I arrived and so was the object of my desire. Problem was, he also had a reputation for just being able to sit there and not talk. He had a book with him which would have been a conversation starter but somehow I couldn't get the words out and he seemed happier reading than talking to anyone. I was only seventeen and never wanted to show my face again. Luckily for me no one from my school had been there (my friend was from another school and her boyfriend had graduated with the object of my desire) and the guy never mentioned it to his sister or at least she didn't mention it to me or anyone else. But the mortification of total and absolute silence has stayed with me to this day. And my friend's comment of, 'you were fine. If yoou would have talked more, you'd have scred him off' didn't exactly help matetrs either.

Nage

God what a creep! Really! He was probably using the book as a prop either to be shy or to be a pretentious Ahole. Sorry but you seem so nice so I say his loss :)

Thanks Zel, I needed to read that. :)

My worst first date was about 6 years. It was a blind date thing set up by a friend of mine. Well, we went to see a movie and everything he said went against everything I believe in. Plus, he was one of those, "Keep woman barefoot and preg" types. We went to dinner, and the more he talked, the more my blood boiled. :mad: He had the never to tell me that on our next date, he wanted me to put out. I told him a few things that was on my mind, and I even said somethings in spanish so no one else around could hear what I said. I called a cab to take me home.
Well a few days went by and my friend called me to say that he wanted to see me again. I said "No Thanks! I'll find my own dates!"
The next month I met my now hubby :D

Chris, it's a shame when someone you've built up in your mind turns out to be a stiffie. Sometimes it's better to live with the fantasy, isn't it? I wish it had gone better for you.

ILKR, I would have done the same thing. Life's too short to tolerate an arse with no brains or tact.

Val, tell me about it. I always swear I won't build up another person again and then I still do it. Hopeless. :rolleyes:

Chris/Nage

Ilovenightrider you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince LOL.

I can spot these circa1950's types a mile away now they are so obvious - its dork radar LOL
