What was the Worst Date You've Ever Had?

[ocean laura]

As I'm laughing at all of these stories, I remembered one really bad date that I had during college. I was waitressing one summer and thought the boy who helped the cook was cute. To my surprise, he asked me out. I met him at home and after hanging out, he started kissing me. I don't know how to describe this experience except to say that I needed a towel to wipe off my face after. I mean, this guy was such a sloppy kisser, it may as well have been called licking! Ewwwwwww grossssssss! I couldn't leave quickly enough!

On my worst date I did everything I could to turn the guy off and he still liked me.

I met this guy at my dad's office in Nashville back when I was in college (my dad was actually his boss) and I flirted with him mercilessly because I was extremely bored. I knew he was a geek, but he was very slightly attractive and I was visiting my dad and had nothing much to do. His name was Sherrod (a very unsexy name, for starters). He took me to eat somewhere (I can't remember where but somewhere pretty dull like Applebee's) and then to a movie (The Net, I think it was called, with Sandra Bullock). All evening he got duller and duller and I decided to act a little weird to turn him off and also for my own entertainment. I should mention that he was a very conservative and uptight guy, so I figured it wouldn't take too much to seem weird to him. At the restaurant I asked if he wanted to see my tattoo and then threw my ankle up on the table to show it to him (unfortunately I didn't have a tattoo any place more shocking). Then I kept asking him questions like "If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?" His answer: "Near my parents in Virginia"--my answer: London or Tokyo (Ok, that's not that weird but just true). Then I talked to him about how I was going to join the circus (I can't remember what I said I was going to do--the flying trapeze or something). I can't remember all the other stuff I told him, but I do remember that when he took me back to my brother's house (where I was staying) I leapt out of the car (before he could get any ideas) and yelled "Rock on!" and then ran inside. I thought surely he'd get the message that we had nothing in common or something, but he continued to call and ask me out every time I was in town.

Plus when I had another friend come up from Atlanta to meet me in Nashville, Sherrod volunteered to have him stay in his apartment. This is actually a whole other weird story, because that guy (Chris) was the guy I went to prom with in high school. I had a crush on him in h.s. but realized on the Nashville visit that I was no longer interested but he was. So I had to deal with him trying to serenade me on his guitar and then both of them competing for my attention at my family's Thanksgiving dinner. Good grief, how did they both end up there?

I could go on about the weird Sherrod/Chris competition, but I won't. At least I am married and out of that dating game now.

I have to admit that I have never really had a bad date! The worst story that I have ever heard is worth sharing though!

A friend was telling me that one night all of his buddies were sitting around at their usual poker night on a Friday talking about girls they had met on Match.com. They convinced their friend to join, since he was single and looking, but the kid was apprehensive. A few Fridays later, this kid came in, on top of the world that he had met the most amazing girl on the site and that they were all going to die when they saw her. They warned him, since he hadn’t actually “met” her yet, that it could turn bad if she wasn’t being honest, but he gloated and rubbed it in their faces that she really was gorgeous like a cover girl, funny, intelligent, etc. Well, the next Friday, he shared their date: He shows up at a bar to meet here (one where he goes regularly). She walks in and she is everything that she claimed. Gorgeous. Great figure. Put together well. A vision. She smiles and he sighs in relief. She sits down next to him, pulls out her flask (!), swigs it, burps, gets a panicked look on her face and projectile vomits all over herself, the bar and his feet. She instantly gets tears in her eyes, throws her hand over her mouth and runs to the bathroom. He exits stage left in two seconds flat.

Oh my…

I havent posted in a long time, but had to reply to this topic because I ran into my worst date ever, last week.

When I was younger (20-21), I went on this blind date ( a friend of a friend). We went to the movies, followed by a late diner and then a stroll in the park next to the lake. It was a very romantic evening. We talked about our families and goals. He was just so adorable and gentlemen like. I invited him to my apartment just to continue our conversation. However I excused myself to the bathroom, when I returned he was in my bedroom butt naked, under my blankets! I was shocked, I never kissed this guy or gave any suggestion that I was going to have sex with him. I asked what was he thinking, he just patted on my bed and telling me to sit down. At that moment I felt that my bed was the plague or something. I felt truly violated because I didn't invite into my bedroom. He would not get out of by bed. He begged me to sit down next to him. I just stood there hoping he would get the hint, but this dummy did not. Finally I told him that the reason why I had to visit the bathroom was because my monthly vistor had just arrived. He looked at me to try to figure if I was lying and jokingly says "Can I check, cuz I think you are lying".

I told him sure, but he quickly stood up and got dressed and left me alone. He later told my friends that I was fridget, bitter and unapproachble. All because I would not sleep with him. But I ran into him last week and he just chuckled with me about our first date.

A friend (whom I really liked) set me up on a blind date. I was about 26 at the time. He turned out to be 21, a high school drop out, reeked of b.o. and was....divorced. I could get over the concept of an unfortunate blind date but was appalled that a friend thought a stinky kid with an ex wife would be a suitable match for me. Zoiks!

These are fun. Mine was in my mid-20's. Mom set me up on a blind date with a guy she worked with. Drop dead gorgeous. We made plans to meet for dinner. Met - things were going really well, and then the server came to the table. For drinks I ordered an ice water and glass of white wine. He ordered an ice tea. As soon as the server left to get the drinks, blind date asked if I'd ever been convicted by the Holy Spirit about my drinking problem. The sermon lasted all through dinner.

I went out for the first time with a guy I had known casually. During dinner he proceeded to tell me how he inherited his grandma's farm and how much it was worth, etc. Then he tells me how he can picture me walking down the aisle in a white dress.

Of course, when the night ended he was all over me. I told him this was not going to work out. He looked so appalled!

That was a long time ago. But even thinking about it creeps me out.
