| | Nightmare DatesPage 1 of 7 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) | Has anyone else had a real nightmare of a date.
I arranged to meet a girl outside a pub. She looked nothing like her photo but I ignored that because even a bad date is a night out and I like to socialise. Her dress sense was best described as Primart, a kind of white towelling all in one number and she carried with her a Lidl bag. Picky I know, but first impression is vital.
I bought us both a drink and sat down, she pulled up her Lidl bag, brought out a filofax and opened it to date the following week. She then said, "I never get a second date, do you mind if I arrange one now before we start talking." I obliged with a date but I knew I was going to run.
As we went on I found out that yes, she we did have travel in common. She loved travelling, she was infact a bus driver and proceeded to describe her route, number of people who got on at every stop and people who got on at various stops who she didn't like. I said to her, "I meant travelling abroad, have you been on holiday or travelled to anywhere outside the UK." She said, her ambition was to drive a bus over the Welsh border.
I had to ask her about her picture, she said it was a picture she got off Facebook of an old school friend who always got the guys. I did feel sorry for her but I cancelled our second date. | |

A 2minute webcam chat or phone video call before the meet , would have stopped you from wasting your time :)
Lidl bag ? lmao do you mean the plastic lidl bags ?
You also was a bit decietful by arranging another date with her knowing you was going to run , building her hopes up and then cancelling the date , you should have been honest and said in a nice way that a 2nd date wouldnt come out of it . | |

I think the photo thing is a big downer, I've met women who look nothing like their pics - I look awful in my pics but at least when I meet someone it's a relief that I look better than they expect.
I've had 2 nightmare dates via pof but won't go into details as I don't want to cause offence to the women in question. | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 5:35:03 AM | I could never do that, use someone else's picture on my profile, it's so deceitful...how does anyone have the courage to then show up for any dates??? I would feel really embarrassed.
I've never had nightmare dates, I was lucky but I'm also very fussy, if I detect that something is not quite right before we meet I end the conversation and move on to someone else. So far I've met several nice guys but unfortunately I was not attracted to them and it didn't work out in the end.
I've been stood up once though and that really infuriated me...I had to pay for a curry to entice my friends to look after my kids on a school night, when I came back home after only 20 minutes of me leaving the house, they had polished the lot...greedy bunch!!! | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 6:08:55 AM | O.P. you would have been well within your rights to have walked straight past her, you had after all not made a date with HER, you had made a date with a figment of her Imagination. How rude of her.
I have never had that happen but I have had some mildly amusing situations, too many to mention..... | |

Those pork scratchings were the best I'd ever tasted, so will you marry me? | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 9:59:44 AM | Ive had a few odd dates off here, the worst one was with a guy who id been chatting to for about a month. We met in a local pub where he began the night by saying he'd just smoked some weed to calm his nerves!! (no mention of drugs whilst we'd been chatting btw)
The guy was stoned off his face litterally! he spent the evening eating peanuts then nearly fell asleep at the table. Needless to say there was NOT a second date lol. | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 10:15:00 AM | I had an absolute shocker of a date, it was a few years ago now but I still remember it vividly.
I arranged to meet a girl who looked pretty stunning in the pictures, she was 5.6, probably a size 10 - 12, blond, you get the picture.
She wanted to get the train down so I arranged to meet in the pub nearby.
When I walked into the bar it was empty, at least I thought it was. I smelt my date before I saw her, and the stench of piss is something I'll never forget, it was worse than cats piss. With one leg completely in plaster she hobbled towards me on crutches. The stench of piss changed to alcohol and gingivitus, her breath was flammable and her teeth (what wern't chipped or missing) were brown and yellow.
The pub was very dark but even so.. tracky bottoms, trainers and a white top and that was once white, but was now covered in what looked like baked bean stains. Her complexion resembled a topography map of the grand canyon, and as she drew closer it got worse, I've never seen so many warts, skin tags and spots. Her hair wasn't blonde like in the picture, it was curly and ginger and all tangled up in clumps. As for her weight, I would say she was super morbidly obese. She had thick black rimmed glasses, the type that the NHS used to give children in the 70's.
For the first time in my life, I was speechless. I just walked out without saying a word, got in my car and drove home. LOL
She texted me and rang me consistently for about a month even though I did not reply to a single message. | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 10:19:06 AM | @OP: sounds pretty bad, using someone else's picture is flat out deceit and not on, though. The bag thing is funny.
@sunset_anne (8): I don't think anyone's going to get worse than that one in the long term ... | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 10:22:57 AM | OP long may you continue to be able to afford to be so picky about other peoples clothing and carrier bags! Some of us,,,myself included, have to shop in the likes of primark and lidl at times. I wouldnt like to be referred to as a nightmare date based on that though.
My nightmare date was a couple of years ago....guy was so nice and polite while we were having our coffee. We both smoked, so decided to sit in his car after the coffee, to have a ciggie. BIGGGG mistake on my part,,,,turned out to be an octopus i was out with not a man after all! lol. | |

Posted: 5/17/2012 10:26:24 AM | | Day Trader - a friend of mine met a girl at Magnums in Ilford. Big girl, ugly as f... Anyway he went home with her. She lived in flats, there were stone steps leading to her landing and someone had spray painted Suzi is a Slag along the wall. As he got to her door there were further insults. Anyway he went in and the place stank of cat shit and wee but that didn't put him off. He told me they jumped on the bed and some of the bed was wet with cats wee. He still shagged her! | |
