I don't really have any "bad date" stories about crazy women (I dated a few nut jobs, but no great "bad date" stories). The one who took a call from her boyfriend (what, a boyfriend??) while we were mid-act? The one who must have said "salt of the Earth" ten times on our only date? The beautiful redhead (oops, "ginger") who was great until she started with the racist jokes? Odd, but not quite disasters where I had to hide in the bathroom.
However, at one point in my early 20s I took a date to my then favorite bar in NYC, the Back Fence in the Village, where they had live music in a smoky bar (this was late 80s), with low candles on each table. My date looked great, but tons of hairspray keeping her "do" in place. Well, at one point she leans over the table to tell me something (live music and all) and her hair goes up in flames. Whole left side of her head. I didn't know what to do -- hadn't really planned that scenario out -- so the only thing I could think of was to douse her hair with my full beer. I have no doubt that she tells that story to this day and I only hope she is kind to me when she tells it.

Before the date, he texted me with this:
"I just wanted to ask you this via text since I will be too scared to ask you directly in person. After dinner, can we go back to your place for dessert....??!"
Needless to say, that was it. Sure, I could have gone on the date for the free meal, just kiddin'...But this guy sounded like a World-Class creep.
Anonymous wrote:Not my story, but a college friend of my adult daughter was stranded by a date in a foreign country. As in this wealthy guy paid for her plane ticket to another country and then a couple days later, they quarreled. I don't know all the details, but he changed hotels and took her return ticket. Her parents weren't wealthy and had a lot of trouble raising the money to bring her home. It was right around the time that the "Grandma, I got mugged in Mexico!" email scams were at their height so no one wanted to believe the parents that their daughter was really in a bad situation.

Back when I was in my early 20s I went one my only internet date. I joined jdate and about 5 min later some guy pinged me. He lived close so we made a date at a local bar. We started out at the outdoor bar where we talked about dating. He told me about a girl he met and really liked. They went out a few times and then she unexpectedly stopped calling him. One day he tried calling one last time and someone picked up. It was a family member who told him she had died in a car accident. Weird first date story but OK.
Then we moved to the inside bar and he kept going to the bathroom for long periods of time. It was so weird. No explanation just gone for 10 min at a time. There was a table of hot guys who kept looking at me so I went over to talk to them. I chatted with them for a bit, gave one of them my number. He and I ended updating for a few months.
I went on one more date with the original guy. We weren't a match and I never figured out what was up with all those bathroom trips.
Another time I met a guy for drinks. I have no idea how it came up and I am sure I didn't ask but he ended up telling me that he didn't masturbate b/c he has too much semen and it was too messy. Even thinking about what he said now makes me want to vomit. Needless to say I left shortly after.
Coke. He was doing lines in the bathroom.

She ran into some people she knew and they asked us to join their table. I sat next to a very cute guy and before the night was over, he asked me for a date. I asked him to come to my office party the following weekend. Everything's wonderful.
Next Saturday, the guy shows up at my place to pick me up. When I open the door, I could not believe how short he was. He was tiny! I am 5'2" and he was few inches shorter than me. May be 5' at most. Please don't flame me, but I am almost always the short one in a crowd. All the guys I dated before were taller than me. I realized that when we met, we were seated the whole time!! So I did not see how short he was. We get in his car and I see a cushion on the driver seat like the ones that my granny sat on to see above the steering wheel. His car was an older model and probably did not have seat adjustments that makes it go up. I tried not to laugh. We did not go out again.
You sound horrible.

I did think it might be drugs but he didn't seem high. That said I am admittedly clueless about those things.
