Worst Date Stories

[Anonymous]

I never told this to anyone and would never admit it.

A couple of years after I dropped out of high school I agreed to go out with this who worked as a waiter at a restaurant where my best friend's boyfriend worked. I saw him a couple of times, but lost interest fairly quickly and told him I didn't want to see him anymore. About a month later I was passively watching the news at a friend's house, and his picture flashed on the screen. Apparently he robbed a bank by implying he had a weapon (which he didn't) but was caught by police when he tried to flee on a bicycle. What a loser. But I'm the one who felt like the real loser, reflecting on the types of people with who I surrounded myself. Soon after I went back to school and turned my life around.

I was fat in high school. Never had a boyfriend. Lost a lot of weight senior year and summer after graduating a guy from my school who had graduated the year before and worked where I did asked me on a date. It was straight out of a movie script-- he was hot and had been on the football team. My geeky inner self was elated. He picked me up in his car and hands me a beer... He had one too while driving (he was 19). Instead of going anywhere we go back to his parents house and hang out in the basement. I drink the beer and then he offers me weed, which I had never smoked before. Well between the beer and the weed I was totally messed up. I was shivering even though it was summer and I was practically in tears. He drove me home and acted like I was the plague for messing up our date. Such a klassy first date.

Yeah, sounds like you weren't prepared for dating at 19. That's kinda how it worked.

He burst into tears as he explained it. Granted, the cat had been dead for over a year. He was 33 years old, BTW

Sounds familiar. Was he from NJ?

Palo Alto.

Oh. That means there are 2...

Yeah? I don't know, most of my friends went out to the movies or for ice cream for first dates, even at 18. Getting high in a basement? I wasn't expecting an expensive dinner out by any means. Guess I was naive.

Okay, how can I prevent my son from growing up into one of these loony guys? Who knows not to talk about premarital sex in the first phone call or complain about everything or take a date to meet his parents right away or lose his car in the garage?? This is some whacked out stuff!

I went out on a date with someone who took me to a very dark, very loud bar and talked (over the music) a lot about his difficult childhood, his depression. I found myself asking if he had ever talked to a professional about this stuff. I'm very open, but this was too much for a first date - it was a blind date and we hadn't even connected yet.

I went on a pretty fun date once with a guy I met at a restaurant, me a patron and him a manager. We met at the restaurant (neutral territory), and he drove us into the city in his nice car. We got sushi, went to a few different clubs, ran across the street in the rain and he lifted me up over his shoulders...just a fun, all around spontaneous night. We even popped in a strip club for giggles for a few minutes. He knew someone everywhere we went. Like everywhere. He'd even go talk to them quietly in a corner or back room sometimes, but he'd be back in a minute or two and he'd leave me with someone nice to talk to.

And THAT was when I realized he was completely dealing or distributing or picking up coke, which he was also very very high on. Hence why he was so "fun!"

Kinda killed the mood.

I think that is the difference between the fat kids and the football players. I'm not saying that it's right, but it sure was the truth (at least at 17, not so sure about 19).

My friend went to pick up a girl for their first date and she had packed an overnight bag!

I had a great 1st date with a man who was nearly 20 years older than I. Our 2nd date happened to be on his birthday-big 50.He had bought a special birthday shirt he wanted to wear, but had sent it to be washed and his 12 year old daughter had misplaced it.The guy was screaming at her till red from the face, and then threw himself on his bed and said that he was not going anywhere.I had waited for him to get ready for awhile by now
I thought I was on candid camera or something.Now that's a shirt I got to see!
Luckily my phone rang and gave me a reason to step out of his house.I ran to my car and got the hell out of there.50 years old my butt!

That makes sense. Looking back I'm kind of glad the first date was so bad for me. We wouldn't have worked out anyway. Cute jock wasn't my type. Ended up marrying an athletic handsome geek

IDK, while the date you described is something I would have been fine with if I had previously gone out with a guy a few times, for a first date, I'd expect something more along the lines of ice cream or a movie. I have nothing against getting high in a basement, but at least make an initial effort to impress and get to know someone.

My worst date was about the third or fourth date with this woman. We had a very nice first few dates, but on the fourth date, she wanted to see what I am like drunk. The only thing is I rarely (as in once or twice a decade) drink to excess. I do not like the feeling. But, I obliged her. I had four drinks at her house -- normally I would have had one. Then, she "fed" me pot cooked into something. I do not do drugs....tried pot once in college, but did not like the way I felt. I also have a security clearance which I could lose.

She drove us to a restaurant. I ate everything in sight. I could not stop eating....fortunately, we had all you can eat chips and salsa.

Things get a little fuzzy for me...I kept eating and drinking. She got mad at me for being too narcissistic when drunk and stoned.

When we got back to her place, she told me to leave, except I was in no condition to drive. I ended up sleeping it off in my back seat.

This was friday night. On tues at work I was called in for a random drug test....which was positive for THC. I almost lost my job and clearance. Fortunately, she admitted in a notarized statement that she fed me weed without my knowledge. The company retested me, and this time I was negative. I was "counseled" to be more careful.

Still, I have had to talk about the event every 5 years or so when I have my Poly's.

I have not seen or hear from her since.

Note to self..."Start fattening the kids up" NOW.

My experience of football players in high school was that they felt that women are for sex and making 7 layer bean dip on game day.
