| Bad Dates that are amusing now
Posted: 3/24/2009 6:37:16 AM | I believe some time ago we had a thread on bad dates or weird first dates or something like that but I could not find it in the thread search. There were a lot of great stories shared in that one and I wanted to start a new thread for people to share even more stories.
Lets face it...a bad date is usually good for a laugh at a later time and a good date usually (hopefully) moves forward to more good dates and a relationship.
Recently I went to meet a man for a first face to face. His line of work put him in a category of respect and I had no question about my safety so I agreed to go to his apt for a coffee. When I arrived at his place, he was in the driveway on his phone argueing with someone that sounded work related so I respectfully stayed in my car until he concluded the conversation. After a long wait, he motioned for me to come out of the car and then mouthed quietly to me (The EX), so it was not work related. Finally he got off the phone with her and we went inside to have our coffee. He said, I have been on the phone with her for almost an hour so I have not had my shower yet. I will be right back unless you want to come in with me and watch? (he was tongue in cheek saying that but I felt he was feeling the temperature of the water and seeing if I would jump in.) I said...na, that is ok. I would not want to be traumatized at this stage of meeting you. 
He was not long doing his clean up and clothing change and then we prepared our coffee. We had sat at the kitchen table and started to talk when the friggin phone rang again. It was his ex again. This time he was on the phone with her for at least 45 minutes. She was requiring help with a homework project that crossed over into his line of work. Since she was not 'Getting it' via his explainations, he said...just email me the project and I will have it done in 10 minutes. So she emailed it to him and he started to fill out the 'form' she was having difficulty understanding. Not being in that line of work that either of them do, I found it interesting and immediately I 'got it' and was able to help HIM with her homework.
He emailed it back to her and we resumed our conversation and tried to get to know each other when the friggin phone rang again. He looked at the call display and said it is her again. If I don't answer it, she will be over here so I might as well get this overwith. Again, another lengthy conversation with her going over the same points over and over again, enough that if I was to have written the test the next day, I would have got a better mark then her.
When he got off the phone, he looked at the time and said...gee I am so sorry that so much of our time together got wasted with my being on the phone. That is the most I have spoken to her since we split up. I am supposed to have another date come over tonight after you leave....probably going to get laid, unless you want to do something?
That was the part where I said...na, I better get going. You have a great evening. He said...don't go yet, but do you mind if I call her? So then he calls another woman while I am sitting on his sofa and he talks her into coming over and bringing that 'toy' she so likes to play with. TMI TMI
While he was on the phone with her, I got off the couch, put my coat on and was half way into my shoes and almost out the door when he came over to me with this look on his face of embarrassment and mortification. He realized what he did and how inappropriate it was and wanted to appologize for how our 'first' meeting turned out. And he wants to make it up to me! 
Even funnier still, I like the guy and I admired his honesty, just not his tact.  I developed an easy going way of being around him and I feel comfortable telling him he is an idiot and an ass, and if he wants to "hang out" sometime, he will not be bringing his ex on the phone or have to cut things short because he is meeting his FWB later. And yes, I am going to go have coffee with him again...and no, it is not a connection that will be a relationship of anything more then two people getting together for a chat now and then. If anything, it will be a source of funny stories that I can share with the peeps on here.
So, who is next....share a bad first date, funny first date, or weird first date....I am sure we all have them! | |

Posted: 3/24/2009 7:14:18 AM | OMG Greanize that takes the cake! I have had enough odd and harrowing first meets that it's a wonder I even stay in the pond.
There was the guy who after coffee (which was alright and so his action was completely unexpected) pulled me to him (I thought for a hug) and bit me! On the neck! Like a freakin vampire! He wasn't some goth twilight type fan either. Creepy! Needless to say after the rabies shots I didn't return his calls...he's also lucky I squelched my knee jerk reaction!
Then there was the "respectful and successful" businessman who tried to pull me into his lap at a park whilst having coffee (in the afternoon) (with people all around). Then proceeded to say I was heavy, wow that makes me hot (sarcasm)..besides I jumped out of my skin n'er mind his lap within seconds...like he could tell how heavy I was or not. I don't care how many houses you own, a jerk is a jerk is a jerk lol.
I also recall with a chuckle the one who showed up to a coffee date with a bottle of wine and pestered me endlessly to return to my place. Not to "do" anything ofcourse, but why don't we leave the cafe and sit in the back of his SUV to be more comfortable? ...good lord, shall I get "dum dum" tattoed to my forehead while we're at it?!
One guy thought it was funny to wipe his sweaty brow on my shoulder on a hot day. Ewww! Well atleast I can laugh about it now...hehehe  | |

Posted: 3/24/2009 4:02:36 PM | For some reason bad date forums always get deleted. It's a shame because they're hilarious. Worst one for me was the guy I met from here who wanted to go parking on the first meet. I politely declined. Then he wanted to come home with me. Told me all about his erection problems because of his diabetes. But not to worry!!!! He had his pump in the car!!!!
I found it hilarious that anyone would carry a penis pump around with them.
Then there was the guy I met at Timmies. We had our coffee outside. Kept trying to neck with me in the parking lot. That was inbetween trashing his ex for being a drunk and complaining about all women taking advantage of him.
Meet all kinds in here. | |

Posted: 3/24/2009 9:01:16 PM | Twenty years ago a much younger, and very handsome, young man asked me out. He had been hanging around my place of employment, finding excuses to chat with me, and I had enjoyed the attention, so I thought, why not go out with him.
We headed to a popular Chinese Restaurant and ordered the buffet. When I got back to the table with my first plateful, I proceeded to sprinkle soy sauce on my rice, getting more all over the table than on my plate. Next thing I attempted to do was cut into one of the chicken balls. It was so tough that the knife wouldn't cut it. I tried and tried, until finally the ball slipped from under the knife and went flying across the room, landing under a table two rows away. And who was sitting at that table with his new girlfriend? My exbf of course!!! I turned red with embarassment and sat there in shocked silence while everyone in the vicinity broke out in gales of laughter!!!
Then there was the guy that a friend set me up with. He insisted that we meet at a bar, instead of a coffee shop. We ordered dinner, and in the time it took for dinner to arrive, the man drank 3 rum and cokes!! By the time dinner was done he was so drunk that the waitress and I practically had to pour him into a taxi. Needless to say he never got another date, and my friend got a refresher course in my likes and dislikes re dating prospects, lol!! | |

Posted: 3/24/2009 10:18:27 PM | Now Now...we men have bad dates too...
I goto Timmies to meet one woman...she is was so jittery , if I had said BOO!! I kid you not....she would have jumped through the ceiling.. I felt so sorry for her.... what suprised me the most is she was a corporate real estate agent I couldnt believe she was so shy to talk to people.... It was so pathetic to see her there...tortured by her own psychosis......a really disappointing date
Oh another classic....I meet one woman at a hotel restaurant for drinks..and after two drinks she goes into her preaching sermon....I did not see that one coming....I endured the sermon for one hour and ended the date saying I had an early day at work tommorrow......
And then..the ever popular you meet for a drink or coffee...and without me even asking (and I never bring up x-hubbies or x-bfs..especially on the first date) I get the reason why she is single again...he was jerk...blah blah blah....he cheated on me ...blah blah blah.... or one day he didnt want to be married anymore....blah blah blah. These women I call....."the baggage handlers"... I really dont like nor want to bring up relationship failures on a first date or meeting.... but some people think its a good conversation piece... I find it disappointing... first dates should not be "sounding boards" or Dr Phil sessions. I wish some women learned some etiquette on not bring up relationship failures on the first date. Just like men who bring up sex inferences...
Lastly....what about those dates that never materialize.....YES...everyones favourites ....the no-show... the stoodup artist.... the invisible date...
When I was younger I was really angered by them.. but now...its a novelty I laugh at myself for encountering.
The clasic excuses I have heard for the not showing up...(from adult... mature women)
1) I thought we were playing pretend...
2) What time did you show up and stay till? - Oh I came in right after you had left
3) I forgot I gave you the wrong meeting time/place...
4) My brother was really sick....
5) I forgot you reminded me yesterday that we were going to meet today....
Bad dates happen to us all.....

For some reason bad date forums always get deleted. It's a shame because they're hilarious. This would be due to the fact that someone inevitably starts naming people by user id... not only declasse, but against the site rules. | |

Posted: 3/25/2009 5:30:12 AM | | Hey Frankie, bringing up exes during a first meet is not a phenomenon that is solely associated with women. I have had more than a few first meets with men I had been very interested in beccome ex bashing sessions. As someone once said in a previous thread, if he has all that negativity spewing from him in regard to his exwife, I certainly don't want to get involved with him and become conversation fodder for his future dates. I mean some of these guys told me things of a clearly intimate nature, things that were really none of my business and shouldn't have been broadcasted for all to hear in a public place!! | |

Posted: 3/25/2009 7:09:25 PM | Well , a few years ago I was dating a guy who was a member of AA. He was going to a weekend conference out of town. I decided to join him for the weekend but couldnt leave on the Friday night with him, so that we could come back together on the Sunday, I agreed to take the bus for the few hours ride to where he was.
Up early on Saturday, all excited to take the bus ride, I pile into the bus, and lo and behold we dont even make it out of the city, I'm looking out the window and notice flames shooting back, the bus was on fire! We piled out onto the street while the fire department came and put out the fire. Then the news crews arrived and we were all caught on the local news with the bus on fire.
Long story short they hired a different bus to take us where everyone was going, it was a long day, and walking from the bus station to the hotel, I decided I should have a drink ( bad idea me thinks now....) I had a beer and a shot, which was good, so had a couple more, and a few more again. NowI'm starting to feel pretty tipsy (lol, understatement ) , stagger up the hill to the hotel , slap my arm down at check in , and announce loudly I'm here to pick up my room key, I'm here with the AA convention. The poor guy at check-in almost wet himself laughing !
It didnt go over very well as you can imagine, but it always makes me laugh now when I think of it. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 12:25:58 AM | lol
I have actually met quite a few people from here. I don't see the point in wasting time lolly gagging back and forth over MSN or here. I figure meet right away while its fresh and while you're both being a slightly subdued version of yourself.
Worst first encounter: I had talked a bit x rated to an individual one night.. just in the mood to talk it about about positions and things of that nature, when I met him the next day he came to my house, in the middle of the day, he walked in shut the door, as I was walking to answer the phone he stood at the door and dropped his pants.... Now I'm not against random play, but at least sit and talk for a bit to see if there's anything there. He very willingly left when i almost pushed him through the storm door with his pants around his ankles. | |

Posted: 4/3/2009 10:33:52 PM | what about getting the hot one yet they carried some major deal breaker, like a mouth breather or bad hygiene?
i can say i managed to hookup with the 'megan fox clone'...who ended up having chronic foot odour.
i immediately changed my sheets and febrezed everywhere she stepped, shortly after she left. also i left my 'only when guests are present' cinnamon cookies scent air wick on for a couple days. | |
