WHATS THE WORST DATE YOU HAD ON POF
Posted: 8/26/2009 3:06:03 AM
met a girl to go bowling and basically, she invited her 3 male friends to bowl with us without telling me. i had to compete for her attention with 3 other dudes she already knew. i paid for the bowling for all of us. they were just interested in drinking (they paid for their beer). she wanted to shoot pool afterwards and i said no thx and got the hell out of dodge. the sad part was when we emailed afterwards, she was completely clueless as to how rude it was to invite her 3 friends on our first date. absolutely clueless.

Worst date I ever had was a guy who I met on POF. He sounded like a nice bloke. Rough around the edges, I like them like that :)
The date went well, I guess, just no chemistry and I was upfront about that before I left.

But after our date, he text me, professed his love for me, and wanted me to have his children! I am STILL currently trying to get rid of him! If he sees me online here, he says he's disgusted that I am looking for another man when I "Have someone" I haven't responded or talked to him since the date... three weeks ago!
He's a lunatic!!!

But I guess as long as he doesn't turn up at my house, I'll be okay. Wait, someone's at the door, be right back....

lol (for those playing the home game, no, he hasn't got my address!)

That's my fear actually that I will meet someone I don't click with but they end up really liking me and become a bit shall we say....obsessed.

Hasn't happened yet, and fingers crossed! lol

I'm not so sure he isn't just goofing with you and maybe doesn't really know how. But it doesn't matter. There's an easy way to avoid this.

Block him.

My worst online experience wasn't even on pof. Oh, you said pof. The guy who had me convinced that he worked out and even ran some in the heat but he couldn't even really walk very well.

not on POF, have yet to meet someone from here. But I had a date with a girl who brought her kid along. Her kid basically ruined the whole date and I couldn't wait for it to end. I decided to give it more of a chance after that date, but we broke things off after like a month.

2 worst dates. One did not converse but answered questions with as few words as he could. The other had this hideous and obviously box dyed , pitch black hair. I thought I was meeting Dracula. 2 others were awesome but their work kept them too busy. I do not understand why men starting a new business would think they have time for a relationship.

Yeah, I met this woman and invited her to a reasonably nice dinner. She brought her two kids, and we did not get to talk much in terms of adult topics. Kids on a first date when you are invited? At least she could have told me and we could have made it a pizza parlour instead of a place with table cloth...

oh that's baaaad about her bringing her kids on the first date. why would she want her kids to meet all her dates? did you say anything about it? did you end up paying for all of them? i know some people have a babysitting problem but that would be bad to show up with kids for a first meet. i've seen other people say that though.

Of course I paid, that was not my issue. The kids were well-behaved and shared a plate. My issue was with early exposure (I have a kid, too) and the choice of a romantic place. We could not really talk other than about weather (I mean PG or G topics) and I did not know about it upon arrival. A text and change of venue would have been better. Somehow that one did not turn out...

I had two both from POF...
number 1... didnt even manage to even meet up, got really too heavy way to quickly, and when I put the brake on and suddenly retreated, he sent threatening texts and mails, including 'hopes my children get snatched, r***ed, and murdered' and another 'when I see you about I am going to kick the shit out of you and make you watch whilst I throw your children under an oncoming bus' needless to say, the authorities are still trying to find this guy... even now he keeps opening new accounts and contacting me and even tho I then report him again...he just cant help himself...

number 2... really liked the guy, came round for drinks and a movie, and ended in a nice kiss, then following day problem with mobile network and we couldnt get our texts to one another, and then they all came all at once to each of us, since then not been the same, and he has agreed would like a further date but wont commit to anything...
So so far not looking good lol!!

that suxxxxx. i probably would not have paid for anybody's food except whoever I had already agreed. did she even give any explanation for why she brought them? even if the babysitter canceled last minute, she could have called and like you said, gone to a pizza place or postponed. i'm amazed at some of the things i hear people say they saw or did on here. it's like watching a movie, except yes it happened, or most of these tales anyway.

The flip side to shitty first dates of course is that you get to find out the weirdos/psychos/downright incompatible people right off the bat instead of dating for a few weeks/months and then finding out you have met an utter freak who in any other situation you wouldn't give the time of day....

I only had 3...but one of them: I met someone at a bar for a few drinks and he had a protein shake with him in a rubbermaid type thermos, and he only drank bottled water. I thought it was pretty bizzare...


mine brang bottled water to the movies and made me squish it into my already filled up small purse to "save money". That was a total turn off for a first day. I understand saving money. That just was odd to me for a first date. He literally pushed me into squishing it into my purse. lol

I have a couple horror stories, but there's one that was just too funny. In a few ways!

Before our first meeting I had the conversation I usually do, based on my experience with men and how they often lie about their height. (I think it's most common for men to lie about height & for women to lie about weight - when there's lying involved.)

He confirmed that he was, as his profile said, indeed 5'11"
HE, of course, asked me THREE times if I weighed the same now as I did in my pics. I said of course. He was reassured, and I was reassured, right?

I meet up with the guy at the bar of an upscale restaurant. Planned to meet for just 45 minutes cuz I had to go to a graduation.
He was seated at the bar when I got there, and sort of made a motion to stand but didn't stand up entirely.
We sat and talked for 45 minutes. He asked me to stay longer, have dinner with him, but I couldn't. I said we could make plans in a phone call. He said he'd definitely call.
So we get up to leave, me in front and him behind (yes, doing the ass check. Love those!)
After we exited I was walking right beside him and I turned to say something. He was eye level with me. Exactly eye level.
I'm 5'8" and I KNOW his profile said he was 5'11" because I ALWAYS check that since I'm a tall woman.
He even confirmed it for me on the phone. I asked, he confirmed.
I turned to him, as we walked out, looked him in the eye and said calmly "you're not 5'11"
He didn't act surprised when he said "My profile says I'm 5'10" and yes I AM 5'10" so you aren't 5'8"
Yeah, sure buddy, I don't know how tall I am, sure.
He said I must be wearing heels. I wasn't. I wore flats on purpose. I showed him.
When he showed me HIS shoes I looked down at FLIP FLOPS.
FLIP-FLOPS on a 45 year-old man in an upscale restaurant. FLIP FLOPS? Are you kidding me! AND he had dirty feet at the ends of those short legs of his.
He didn't have to be in a tux, and yes it's Arizona, but I wouldn't wear flip flops to an upscale restaurant & not on a first meet! He knew the place and what the dress was.
It was nice of him to lie about his height and dress up for me huh?
It was sweet of him to post a lie on his profile.
It was super sweet of him to personally assure me he was taller than me.
I never lied about MY weight, but he obviously didn't want to tell the truth about HIM.
And yes, when I got home I quickly checked his profile. It said 5'11"
He took down his profile that night.
Needless to say he did not call and make those plans he wanted to make just 5 minutes before he revealed his short leg flip flop feet.
Good times, good times.

I have others, and no this isn't tragic of course. It's just funny.
It's a fact that MANY men lie about height! But those same men throw a hissy fit when a woman lies about her weight! WTF? This flip-flop fuucker sure asked me about MY weight. THREE times!

Double standards much?

So if you think I'm the biitch, then what is HE, considering he lied to me THREE times AND he lied on his profile?
The lying is worse than being the same height as me!

And you may think I'm a biitch because you're 5'5" Maybe just a lil' bit?

How would YOU feel if you chatted up a girl on here, saw her pics, asked if they were current, heard her say THREE times "yes, that's me now!"
Then meet a 250 lb. girl?
Would you be happy she lied AND was obese too?

i was just refering to the height part, fat is another thing. fat alters appearance i.e face body etc. height doesnt atleast not for me. fat also means the person lives an unhealthy lifestyle and probably smells in the orifices

greeneyedginny, that's great that it doesn't matter to you, but it obviously matters to her. Why would you start a relationship by being disrespectful of something that matters to her?

In fact, this is the thing I don't get about lying. The short guy ended up failing the date miserably. Why did he do it? Does he have some fetish that gets him off for every failure?

In general, why do people do this? Why would they deliberately set themselves up to fail? Why arrange a meeting under false pretenses, piss off your date, and go home rejected? How does that work for people? I don't get it.

Most likely because they know if they're honest they won't get that date in the first place.

They trick themselves into believing that if they can get that date, even under false pretenses, the person they have fooled will like them so much that the lies don't matter.

It never works but heck it beats sitting home on a Saturday night using a vibrator with half dead batteries that has a broken intensity control knob from the over use.

This is one of the few threads that make me think more about the topic. Now I realize that the 5 worst dates I was on turned bad because of me - typically something I said. Perhaps I need to shut up more often. I also realize that my worst memories are not nearly as bad as what some women went through. Makes me appreciate a date more, even if it does not go anywhere... I knew POF was good for something!
