| why me?
Posted: 6/21/2006 9:55:25 PM | | I'm not sure if it was the guy who forgot to tell me that he was married (found out 2 weeks after our date when I read the article in the paper that he was busted DWI with his kid on his lap and his wife in the front seat) ....or if it was the college professor from Harvard who showed up to our date at a classy restaurant in bermuda shorts and then proceeded to tell me he had crabs, ...or if it was the guy whose greatest ambition in life was to work at the flea market with dad every Sunday as his full time job.....or if it was the guy who repeatedly lost his job for sexual harassment but couldnt understand what he was doing wrong. Or perhaps it was the cop who was 49 and currently in a divorce with his 19 year old wife (hello) and couldn't understand why she could be so immature. I dunno. I'm beginning to think I am not so good at this dating thing. Am accepting all and every pointer offered from anyone on this site. | |

| why me?
Posted: 6/22/2006 5:46:00 AM | After a few bad dates, I finally found out how to avoid the terrible and uncomfortable experience of unexpected and premature advances...lol
I went on a date, we both had dogs, so I suggested that we meet at a park and let them run. Things were going well, just getting to know eachother, when he attempted to lean in and kiss me, WELL, my dog ran up to me, jumped into my lap and ended up licking his face, then would not leave my side.
I ended the date, and we left, but atleast he got the kiss.....(don't think it was exactly what he had in mind.)  | |

| The worst internet date of all time
Posted: 7/4/2006 4:58:03 PM | I have never met anyone off of one of these sites before and you guys are freaking me out.
I did have a date once when I was like 19 with a guy I met in a chatroom (red flag #1) on AOL. In his picture he looked real cute and he said he was picky so I thought he must be high maintenance...
He comes to pick me up and he is the same height as me but about 4 times as wide. He had stubble on his face and he was sweating profusely. Now, Im not shallow or anything; but Im in pretty damn good shape. I wanted to ask him "how can you be picky if you look so sloppy?"
I decided to still give him a chance, so we went down to his car. In his car were 3 of his friends. WTF? We were planning to go to a movie. On the way there, we got pulled over. The cop was totally hitting on me and it was hilarious. He ended up giving the guy a ticket anyway and asking for my number right in front of my date....who by this time was sweating so much that his shirt was wet.
My dates friends were also hitting on me and I was afraid they were going to try and gang rape me or something. I asked to go home and I never talked to him again. | |

Posted: 7/25/2006 11:30:49 AM | To be objective people, I think everyone has been someone's bad date. We all say bad things by accident when we ment something else and was mis-interpreted. It happens everyday in everyday life not just on dating boards.
I've met many ladies who were not afraid to take a drive with me out to the beach and was not surprised when they got a call. If someone said something weird, I would blow it off until it became a pattern. Guys... don't go all mental if a lady blows you off... just wasn't ment to be.
Ladies ... take precautions but don't let it interfere with your date. | |

| The worst internet date of all time
Posted: 7/27/2006 9:15:29 AM | I haven't had any bad internet dates/meetings, everyone i met so far is cool, but of course i know how to read the signs, i always talk to them on the phone first, on my cell, and always meet in a public place, and make sure that i drive myself there, or living in the city ill take the bus there myself, and of course living in an apartment building helps, they may know the building, but not the apt number.
I think i have had worse dates worse dates with people i have met in real life. Like this one guy told me he was 35 (and he looked it) when we met at the bank and exchanged phone numbers, so a few days later we went to the mall to look/talk/walk around, he was telling me how he needs insurnace on his car, so with my grandmother being an insurance broker, i said ok well maybe i can help give me ur licence number and car make and model and ill get a quote from her. Ok so i used to work at MTO i know how to read licences, he gave me the DL number, the last 6 digits is ur BD, he was born in 1957. EWWW, my mom and dad were born in 1958 so HELL NO that wasn't happening, so I put him on blast, his excuse: he was just joking when he said 35. I told him we could be friends only and then he said he would take me to a movie since we were already at the mall, so we went...the whole movie: constant yapping in my ear, talking out loud and disturbing other people, and repeated attempts to grope me.....20 minutes into the movie i said I felt like BARFING and left him there, CYA LOL.
The next one I met at a bar, that i went to with my 2 cousins. I was having a drink, but drinkin very slowly because I was DD. So this guy noticed that i was not drinkin fast, came and sat down beside me and started a conversation, exchanged phone numbers, then he got up and went outside. My cousins asked me if i wanted to park the car and see if we could find someone who knew an afterhours to go to and we'd take a cab. They had to go out for a smoke so we all went outside. This guy walked up to me, only then did i notice he was not only BUSTED but only about 5'7, and im 5'9.. but decided to be nice anyways. He said he was phoning me twice, why didnt i answer the phone? I was like umm ok I was inside, music is loud, its dark and phone was in my purse ( not that i have to justify my actions to a stranger) but it wasn't a hard question. Said he was calling me to see if I wanted to go to an afterhours, my cousins both said YES right at the same time, so I told the guy that Ill call him when we are ready to leave that bar. Anyways we all decided not to go to afterhours after all, but to go to anohter cousins house after, the guy called me asking why didnt I call him when i left there and whining about how rude I was for not calling, I agreed that was wrong of me, apologized and said we could ALL go out the next night, he agreed. The next morning I was washing dishes when the guy called my phone, my 5 year old daughter answered the phone, I dont know why he didnt just ask for me, but proceeded to promise to take her to mcdonalds on the weekend, I heard her end of the convo, and at that point assumed it was her father. Let them talk for a while more, then she said mommy he wants to talk to u, i said ok, got on the phone, was this guy i JUST MET. I was BENT. Didnt really want to yell at the guy in front of my daughter, so I told him Ill call him back later and the way I said it shoudl have given him the clue that I was mad. That evening my cousin and I were driving around, sort of bored, because no one was home. The guy called me back asking me what time we were goin to meet. Since i was in the west end which is where he lived I said well I could be in ur area in the next 30m to 1h. He said ok call me when you get around here. A friend called and needed a ride, so we went there first cuz it was in the area and woudlnt have taken long, the guy called me after 20 min and asked how far I was, I told him the situation and that Id be there in a bit, he said I thought u were coming here why didnt u say u wre doing something, I said I said 30m-1h i'ts only been 20m ill be there soon. So after we were on our way again it had been about 40 minutes and the guy called me back again, I said we are out at his intersection in the plaza by shoppers drug mart, he said come into the building, I said no my cousin is gone in the store and it woudl be faster for him to come outside here. Also the area he lived, If me and my cousin had gone in that complex by ourselves we were sure to get swarmed. He siad WHAT WHY IS UR COUSIN WITH U? I THOUGHT U WERE COMING TO SEE ME. I was in shock, he was yelling at me for what? I said because I am hanging out with her and I told you we will all go out tonight. He said why dont I come in the complex then and yelling about how it's a waste of time for him to come out there if im with my cousin and how I was supposed to come to his house and come inside. I just got mad and yelled at him and said WHO THE **** U THINK UR TALKING TO DONT TALK TO ME LIKE SOME KIND OF CHICKEN HEAD BABY MAMA OF YOURS and hung up on him and drove away. My cellphone did NOT stop ringing the whole 30 min drive from west end back to my home in the east end, my cousin even answered and told him off, messages on my answering machine BEGGING me to forgive him cuz he DIDNT KNOW I WAS LIKE THAT? like what? i dont know, but I did not asnwer the phone. He called me the next day from his work so I answered cuz I didnt konw who it was. It was him and all he said was dont forget I promised ur daughter Id take her to mcdonalds on saturday, dont make me break my promise and upset ur little girl. I couldnt believe he said that to me all i did was yell, I CAN TAKE HER TO MCDONALDS MYSELF ***hole!!
So, anyways hope that was interesting, sorry for the book, had a lil too much time on my hands and felt like typing alot and sometimes i pay a little too close attention to detail, but at times i think thats a good thing  | |

Posted: 7/27/2006 9:54:53 AM | O,,,,you hit the mother load for dates from hell....here are some of mine....
Meet a girl for coffee, we sit down, I order black coffee she makes a big scene
(because her x drank his black) leaves in a huff..........date time 2 mins.
Met a girl for dinner, things go well until the end. She starts acting weird
and leaves. I find out later she did not like how I folded my napkin......date time 45 mins.
I meet a girl outside a place to go to dinner. We walk into the resturant. I open
the door and as she is passing thru I touch her back which i kind of do to everyone
male and female.....She gets hot and angry........date time 20 seconds
I meet a girl for drinks. I arrive she is already there. She says she is very nervous
and has ordered her first drink. Her hand is laying on the table, I gently pat it
twice saying its alright we are all nervous at first....You guessed it.....She lets
out a scream and says DON'T TOUCH ME..........date time about 20 seconds.
Girl comes over to my house for dinner, we had met the day before and chatted
for about 6 hours. She comes in, I am dressed in a shirt, pants, socks. My hair
was still wet because I had not been out of the shower long.....She gets livid
because....1.) my hair is wet,,,,2.) I do not have shoes on,,,,,3.) I am not wearing
cologne and for good measure she did not like the music playing.....Date time 5 minutes.
I run across the girl online about a year later. I ask what she had been up to, she
says she went with a guy for 7 months. I asked what happened. She says he drank
a bottle of whiskey every day.......I wonder....and it took seven months???? Go Figure.
On a third date with a girl. Things seem fine, have not tried to get intimant on any of
the dates. We go to a comedy club, big name comedian, Seating is in rows, not at
tables, more like a movie theatre. I put my arm around her. OMG, you would have thought
I tried to undress her. I am extremely embarrassed. Suggest we leave and I will take her
home. She says no, I say I am leaving if she wants a ride home to come along, otherwise
its cab time. She comes along and wonders why I am ending the date.........Go Figure.
There was one who conveniantly saw her 'x' at a resturant she suggested. Of course
she see's him after I pay the bill for a rather expensive meal. Of course she has to go
talk to him, leaves me stranded......and they **** when we try to screw them.....jesus.
O, my favorite. On the third for fourth date with a girl. Its midnight, she suggests
we go to my place because she doesn't want to drive home. Her idea not mine.
We get home, I suggest the couch or the spare bedroom for her to sleep. She is
stone cold sober and says no, my bed. Her idea not mine. She says we will just
snuggle. I says fine. She strips down naked, hops right into my bed. Of course she ends up getting laid....no struggle at all. Wakes up the next morning with remorse.
Scared me to death. Glad to be on this side of jail.
I could go on and on....so ladies I can only say....It happens to us too. | |

Posted: 7/29/2006 12:44:57 AM | Last week I had a date with a guy I had been talking to on msn and on the phone for a bit. He wanted to meet me after class, which for me ends at 4:30ish, so I suggested we meet for drinks/coffee/ice cream etc. a little later. He insists on meeting me after class. So I said sure, but I'll probably be hungry, so could we stop at Micky D's or Wise Guy's (the campus bar with really cheap food), as I'm on a bit of a budget. He told me he wanted to take me to a place on Corydon (A street here with lots of different restaurants). I asked where and he said he wants it to be a surprise (we were meeting at school, a campus of 28,000 students, then taking the bus). I told him I'd rather know ahead of time so I can budget appropriatly. He again said not to worry about it.
So we get to Corydon and pass Daly Burger (good food, fairly cheap). I suggest we stop in there, he says he knows somewhere better. We end up going to Saffron's, a fairly pricy restaurant for that section of town. So I told him I'd rather go somewhere else, as this place was a bit out of my price range, again he told me not to worry about it. So I figure he's paying and do my standard lines when I know the guy is paying. Line # 1When looking at the drink menu, say you can't decide, ask him what he thinks looks good, then he will suggest something in his price range. He suggested a bottle of wine. I knew he didn't like wine, and said I couldn't drink one to myself (because I can't and I think it's rude to get drunk on a first date anyways). He suggests a cosmo, which I order.
Same thing with the food. I usually ask him what he's planning on having, as it is usually an indicator as to how much he's willing to spend. He says he's having a salad. Well normally I would order something that is priced the same or less than what the guy is having, but he ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, and sorry, but a salad just won't fill me up. So I order the least expensive thing on the menu that I think will actually fill me up (pizza). While we're eating he makes comments on how slow I eat. He then orders another drink and asks me if I want another as well. I say yes.Then starts asking me questions about how I feel with regards to politics and religion. He insults many of my view points and becomes very argumentative. Finally, our drinks and food are finished, the bill comes, he puts down a 20 to pay for his food, just as I ask "Would you like me to leave a tip?" He pushes the bill towards me and points to my meal. 35$ for 2 drinks and a small pizza.
At this point I didn't know what to say. I had told him several times that I was on a budget, could we go somewhere less expensive? And each time he said not to worry about it he was taking me out. Fortunatly I had just enough cash to cover my meal.
A few days later he messaged me on msn, saying he was sorry for his behavior and sorry for calling my political views stupid, could I give him another chance. I said no, but asked him about the whole meal thing. He said he was planning on paying when we first met, but knew he wasn't by the time we got to the restaurant, and the fact that I support the NDP (he refered to them as commie b@stards) sealed the deal. Like if a girl tells you she can't afford a restaurant, would you not take her somewhere else, instead of telling her not to worry about it and then not pay?
Also met a guy for drinks once. Date lasted 5 minutes as he was offended by the fact that I drink and then told me he had only had 1/2 a glass of wine in his life and that was a toast at his sister's wedding. If you don't drink and are offended by people who do, why would you agree to a date at a lounge for drinks, unless of course you assume the lounge serves apple juice and milk. | |

| internet dates from Hell
Posted: 9/28/2006 8:56:31 AM | I have one:
Was talking to a nice guy online for a while, we seemed to want the same things (ie; long term relationship, honesty..). He asked to meet but I didn't know what he looked like (he swore he had no recent pics). So I agreed to meet for coffee. Meet him and he looks nothing like his discription ( shorter than he claimed, older, fatter, bad teeth..).
I'm polite so stay to talk, after about 10 minutes he says " ok, I'm good, let's go to your place". I'm completely astonished, and ask him what he's talking about.
He says " come on, we know why we're meeting - we're both looking for the same thing"
I say " Excuse me? You said over and over online that you're really looking for a long term, meaningful relationship?"
Him " Oh well, I have to say that stuff, otherwise no woman will talk to me"
Me " maybe that's because they really are looking for a relationship"
Him (laughs) " right, come on, we're all just on there looking for sex, so are we going to your place now?"
Me " Has this ever worked with anyone? cuz its not working with me!"
that's when I left, and honestly, he looked completely amazed! | |

Posted: 9/29/2006 12:46:55 PM | I met a lady on another dating site a few years ago. We chatted on the phone and after a few days we agreed that I should go and meet her. I know the UK is not that big compared the US or Canada but it still took a long time to get to where she lived. When I arived, I called her on the phone to come and meet me. She ignored me - either the phone rang and rang or it wasn't answered. After many attempts at calling her I went back home feeling rather p*ssed off !! Needless to say I removed her from all my address books when I got home !!
On another first date the lady in question turned up OK but was a lot bigger than her profile suggested. I did not have a problem with that, it was the fact she was some 20 years older than her photos suggested and had virtualy no teeth that really got to me !!
There have been a few more but those stand out the most. | |

Posted: 9/29/2006 1:45:02 PM | He was late to meet me. He lied about being a smoker. He had a HUGE pot (beer?) belly. He had HORRIBLE bad breath. He never shut up. He never asked me anything or even checked to see if I was interested in what he was saying (I wasn't).
He attempted to kiss me - UH...no! He stuck me with the check.
Nice...very nice.
Were you wondering if there was a second date? | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 9:16:09 AM | | Well, I've learned a valuable lesson from dating anyone from here. I had finally decided on taking the chance on one after we chatted alot on line , but mostly on the phone. Really felt comfortable with him. He was so caring, kind..so I thoughtful (so I fooled myself to believing) . We finally decided to meet..it was all good I thought..I suppose I was not what he was looking for in looks as far as body wise. Not even given the chance as I had already told him I was working on my weight issue ...caused by loosing who I really was from the hell I went thru in my marriage. I seem to attract with my face only! I have a good heart..and I tell you what, when I do get to my ideal weight again..they are going to have to prove they are worth me allowing into my heart, if at all, LOL! I dont believe I will be dating anyone from here..after this one experience...not worth the hurt. I will give him credit..he was a gentleman. Thank God! But, I know now..he was dishonest on how he felt and what he wanted. I've learned and now move on. So, good luck everyone on finding anyone on here that is honest and trustworthy and looks for what is on the inside that will help the outside florish into a blossom. | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 9:49:06 AM | I have had one from hell that left me scared ****less when I was close to people. Scared me enough that I couldn't leave my place, talk to my family and friends for a while and very paranoid while I was in school.
Anyways I went to go pick up this girl at her place to go out and have a coffee. Her brother was there so I figured what the hell, sit down for a bit and chat with him for a bit and watch a bit of tv. I thought it was going ok, (but had a bad feeling in my stomach the whole time), and he went upstairs and she followed him. They both came down and the next thing I knew he was holding me against the couch with a knife at my stomach. I remember being scared shitless and being told I can go but then getting grabbed and thrown back against the couch the whole time (not a good feeling when your helpless). Anyways it all came down to how much they wanted me to give them to let me go on my way. After 2 hours of hell they did manage to get some (sad to say). After that I got the hell out of there and was in so much disbelief as to what happened I don't even remember the drive back home. Needless to say now I follow my gut instinct and let a family member know where I'm going if I'm meeting someone.
Takes all kinds of people to ruin it for others, but it also teaches you a lesson sometimes on what kind of people are out there when you think it won't happen to you. I thought that and I was wrong. | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 10:48:52 AM | | omg! sorry to hear that Wpg! Glad you made it back safe and alive! I don't even know myself what I'm doing on this on-line dateing..scaring me so much now. So many players , liars, user's. I might not be on here much longer..to scary for me and dont care to be hurt anymore in my life. I think it just might be better trying on my own and in person. But, I do love reading these threads..so I am still here for awhile. Good luck ya'll. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:32:26 PM | | I was exchanging emails with a female, who said she was 64,and had posted 3 photo's of her self, they looked like she was 35,Ok i knew better, and had expected her to look a little older than the photo's, she had a said story, and I kinda fell for it,We decided to meet for lunch, near her home, about 50 miles from my house.I was a little early, she was a little late. When she walked thru the door, I was glad I was seated,or I would have keeled over.My mom is 96, and this gal had more wrinkles than she has.So, ok ok, lets have lunch I worked up a appetite from driving over 50 miles, the waiter shows us the table,I seat her, and then sit beside her, so that I don't have to look at her, and spoil my well earned appetite.Well we spoke a little, ate a little, and I was glad when lunch was over. | |
