Tell Your Worst

I dated a guy once who "accidentally" left his wallet at home. By the time the date was over with, I was so glad to get away from him that I drove off wihtout waiting to get my money back for his "share". That's just one of the many reasons I quit dating.

I once dated a woman who later became my wife.

Then she became a nightmare.

Then we divorced.

Then she became an even worse nightmare.

Then I moved 1263.7 miles away.

Then everything was good.

End of story.

Remember the "Strip"? First date I had with this girl, who later became my first ex wife, we were at Burger King on a Sunday night... i had the ham and cheese, she had the Whaler... shoulda been a clue. But anyway, we were sitting in the car eating,.... my ex girlfriend jumps on the dang hood. The security guy, Poss, who I knew, grabbed her off the hood. I was actually backing out of the parking lot as all of this transpired. Probably not a good first impression on my part... I think I was 18 at the time lol...... we ended up having bouncers at the wedding along with a bomb threat from the same girl that jumped on the hood and had to evacuate the church, but thats another story.

Nope mine doesn't top that one. I had finally got this girl to go out with me. I was trying to be all cool we where eating at a steak house in Florence. I was eating a salad when I bite into a tommy toe tomato and it squirted her in the face. That was the first and last date.

I don't have one personally but a friend of mine told me a good one. He had a great date and the next day he told his mom all about it. She asked what the girls dad's name was and he found out the next day at school. It turned out they were cousins.

I was thinking the same thing! Crazy chicks on car hoods, bomb threats, bodyguards...
I dated a LOT of girls but I never had to get the ATF involved!

Looking back I feel like I am a very lucky man not to have ended up with some of the women I went out with before meeting “the Mrs.” It really is about the law of averages. If you date enough people you are going to encounter some bad stuff along with the good.

I have dated sorority girls, biker chicks, Ole Miss “bowheads”, quiet redheads, loud party girls, and several certifiable crazies. Preacher’s daughters (in general) were the wildest in my humble opinion. I also dated one girl in college whose hot mom used to hit on me (Dear Editor..I couldn't believe this was happening to me" ).

I had one girlfriend that I used to take out on my boat that almost killed me (twice) pulling me on a Hydroslide at about 50 m.p.h. 450' of channel and she always managed to find the buoys, pilings and barges. Sweet girl...lousy boat driver.

The funniest bad experience though was when I met a young lady during a weeknight house keg party once in college. I was 19 or 20, and I am guessing (based on her appearance) she was too, right? I get her number and we plan to get together the following night. So far so good. She says something about having to be up early the next day so I mention how I always hated (and avoided signing up for) 8:00 a.m. classes and she says "Well, all of mine start at 8:00 a.m.!" Good Lord. Whizzzzz..the sound of another bullet over my shoulder being dodged.

I have been threatened by mad daddies, followed by jealous boyfriends (of theirs), and stalked by my own crazy ex girlfriends. I had one girl who used to...nevermind.

Looking back, there were some close calls but after 16 happy years of marriage (the Mrs. made me stop dating )I am just fine with not having to worry about that anymore...or check IDs!

Great thread Bumble!

I once had a blind date that kissed with slobber in his mouth. One kiss & one date was all he got. I went home & throwed up.

Do any of you ever check out FMyLife.com? There are some really funny ones on there!

My mother set me up on a blind date with a co-workers son while I was in high school. All she told me was that we were the same age and had a lot of thing in common. After meeting him I was really impressed because not only was he cute, he SEEMED like a real gentleman. We went to eat at a local steak house and then to a movie. Well.. the next morning I go to school and a fellow classmate was asking about how my blind date went and of coarse I start telling her everything. When she asks his name I blurt it out and the reaction I got was a shocker. The girl had been seeing this "gentleman" for 6 months and the night before (our date night) was their 6 month anniversary. He'd called and told her his mom was sick and he couldnt go out but he promised to make it up to her. Needless to say.... I never went on a blind date again

I come from a large extended family and that happend to me a few times when i was a teen.

I gave up dating several years ago and one of the reasons why is the last date i had....
It was a blind date with a man that owns a small cattle farm near Athens. He asked me to meet him for lunch at a local restaurant and said he thought something casual would put us more at ease. I arrived on time, he was 25 minutes late and didn't call to let me know he would be late, so i figured it was a no-show. I went head and ordered something to eat and he finally showed up as i was finishing my meal. His showing up ruined the whole date.
No apology for being late, but his excuse was he decided since he was coming to Florence he would bring some cows and go on to the sale barn after lunch. And our idea of "casual" was not the same. I put forth a little effort....clean clothes and deo being part of the effort. He had on a pair of crusty looking jeans and a dirty t-shirt. And he smelled like cows.
The waitress had already put my ticket on the table and after he had his lunch she put his ticket next to mine. While he ate we made small talk, but he was hesitant to look me in the eye when he talked....a big turn off.
When we started to leave he picked up both tickets...i thought okay, he invited me to lunch and at least he's going to be gentleman enough to pay for it, so i told him i would get the tip. Then he said "this one's yours" and handed me my ticket.
At this point i was really eager to get out of there, so as soon as i paid for my lunch i turned to the door to leave, but he said "wait up," put some money and his ticket on the counter, told the cashier to keep the change, then followed me out.
As i was opening my car door the cashier came out yelling for him because he shorted her 2.00.
I drove away while he was fishing in his pocket for more money.

Puf,
You're kidding right? That's awful!

Blackacre,
Sounds like, at the very least, you got dating different kinds of chicks out of your system before settling down.

I have to admit I was the bad one once in a particular dating experience. I went out on a date with a guy that I picked out on purpose because he knew my ex-boyfriend. I was cute and charming enough that I felt sure I could get him to ask me out. It worked. Anyway, we just "happened" (not really, it was planned) to show up at an event that I was 95% sure my ex-boyfriend would also attend. I was just trying to make the ex jealous. Because I kind of wanted him back, I ended up going home with the ex-boyfriend and ditching the date. Bad, I know. I'd like to think that time and maturity have changed me a bit. I'm happily married now, anyway. No more games, thank God!

Puf, it's better that way when you get the obvious signs right away, that way you waste no time trying to figure him out.

WOW!...you succeeded in doing what every teen girl in history has fantasized about doing when it comes to wanting an ex-boyfriend back....lol.

Oh, his signs were very obvious...lol.

That happened four years ago and the last time i looked on a dating site he was still listed. Big surprise!

Nope mine doesn't top that one. I had finally got this girl to go out with me. I was trying to be all cool we where eating at a steak house in Florence. I was eating a salad when I bite into a tommy toe tomato and it squirted her in the face. That was the first and last date.

This was your opportunity to say, "Gosh, you look great no matter what you are wearing..." Then, apologize as you help remove the offending tomato...

i thought it was going to be hard to top a bomb threat at a wedding, but that tomato story is hilarious. i have often feared doing that exact thing.

mine is more of a bad non-date. one time in my life i had two dates in one weekend, with two different guys. yes, the inevitable happened.... i got stood up both nights. not one of my stellar weekends.

A family friend had been trying to get a date with a cute girl at a local store for months. Finally, she relented and went out with him. All was going well until he had a gas pain while driving. He lit a cigarette, cracked the window and proceeded to "let off a little pressure". Unfortunately, it was anything but quiet...a "whiner" was how he described it later...

The cutie slid to the passenger door, and frosted over. The date ended shortly thereafter.

Well it wasn’t exactly a date but I was hoping the weekend was going to result in a date at a later time. So a buddy of mine and his GF were going to one of her friend’s lake house for the weekend to ride wave runners. Well the friend was single and I had a wave runner also so the invite was out there for me. We all meet up at the house, play around on the water for a while and call it a night. Enjoyed a night of games and laughter and turned in. My buddy and his GF took one room the friend took hers and I respectfully took the sofa. The next day all is well, another day on the water and having a good time. Buddy and his GF are on the wave runners, friend is lying out on the pier and I'm hanging out in the chair. Well a car pulls up but I really don’t give it another thought, besides there are lots of houses in the area. Well the next thing I hear is a loud thump on the pier. This redneck jumps off the sea wall and onto the pier and is running toward us. Next thing I know I’m getting hit in the back of the head, I jump up throw a punch myself because I’m still not sure who this idiot is or what he wants. He goes to throw another one and I took a step back to avoid the hit and fell into the water so he proceeds to cuss me saying something about trying to get with his GF all the while he won’t shut up long enough to here her tell him that me and her aren’t “together”

Long story short they go to the house to talk and he finally come back and says he’s sorry and offered to let me hit him back. I just told him I wasn’t coming to his level and if he wanted to make it up to me then he should leave her alone and just leave. My buddy said I should have cracked his head for him but oh well.

Needless to say there was never a second meeting. Crazy redneck ex-boyfriends!

Well that’s just great!

Now I have to call the IT guy to replace my monitor AND keyboard because I just spewed coke everywhere! Great Story Sassy. What a visual...Mr. Cool tilting over onto one cheek, rolling the window down and lighting a smoke (all in one fluid motion) and having that happen! Classic.

A "family friend" Sassy?

....Yes there are a lot of ignorant hot heads out there. These type people are the ones who cause terrible tragedies sometimes ending in someone losing their life. I'm glad you had a better outcome in what happened. This is just awful!

yeaaaa, like she never did that, eh? ....lol

I recently went on a blind date with a nice attractive gainfully employed man. I only point those things out because as a single woman in her late forties a combination of these qualities in a man are getting harder and harder to find.
We were about 30 minutes into our date and his cell phone rang. I tried not to eavesdrop but it was obvious it was his adult daughter. They talked for several minutes and he hung up.

While we were having dinner she called again and proceeded to call every 30 minutes until the date ended. I don't have kids so I'm not sure what to think. I would like to see him again (he has asked) but without his phone.

here2help2,

I would think he cares about his daughter. I can think of worse types of men. Maybe something was going on and since it was a first date he probably didn't want to tell you all the details and potentially turn you off. Looks like he did anyway.

I don't think there was any kind of problem. He described the ride over to the restaurant. He asked her advice on what to order after he read the menu to her. That sort of thing. It wasn't a "there's a problem kind of conversation" on his end from what I easily overheard.
I am sure that he does love his daughter very much. I would expect no less.

Perhaps she finds smoking to be a disgusting habit. It could've been that which repulsed her instead of his squeaking flatulence.

nah, it was the whiner

I am seeing a very disturbing pattern here...

More threads than I can count have mentioned "my share" of the ticket. Do you ladies mean you actually were expected to pay for anything? Seriously?

I can honestly say that in my 39 years I have NEVER allowed a young lady to pay for ANYTHING! Ever...And I dated a lot! What is wrong with this picture? I think there must have been something in the water in Tuscumbia in the late 80s because no man from my social circle (that is around my age) would have ever allowed that to happen. Are we gonna have these boys out behind Chap's field house?

Yes sir it's happened to me but only once. A guy asked me to go to his prom with him. All of his friends and their dates were going to George's so that where he chose for us to eat. I'd never eaten there before, but after arriving I realized why. About 1 minute after the ticket was dropped off he said, "I think I hear your phone going off." I looked at my phone and it was him saying he forgot his wallet and I needed to pay. I literally about fell out of my chair, but thankfully I still had my moms debit card and realized that everyone forgets their wallets sometimes. After we left there we had to stop and get gas. Guess what... he pulled his wallet from him pocket. Needless to say... His prom date was a total wanch for the rest of the night. Til this day I still havent seen the money and that was 6 yrs ago.

I had a dinner date with Gina Lollobrigida. At the end of the date, she tearfully told me that I was too good for her, and we kissed and said goodbye forever. In all candor, I had to agree with her.

:::snifff::: {{{{hug}}}}
Your pain comes through in your writing.
And your either a lot older than i thought, or she was a major cougar

thanks everyone who contributed so far. these are GREAT stories! keep'em coming!

Now that I have gotten older (and wiser) I have realized that there is nothing wrong with me treating him from time to time. We share it all, I pay, he pays. Kinda gives you a warm feeling when you can smile at him and say "Im treating you this time".

Worst date? hmmm, well there was this guy I went out with one time. Preachers son (should have been first warning) lol he was drop dead good looking! (and he knew it) we went out to eat, he was polite, he paid, THEN he ask if it was ok to run by his friends. I didnt have a problem with that, we went. As we pull up he informs me that they are having a party, but we wont stay but a few minutes. We walk in, they are all drunk, girls running through the house most partly naked,one even came up & started rubbing herself all over him and he did not resist. his "friend" tosses him a beer and he chugs it down. Needless to say, I went home and never went out with him again. Never took any more calls from him, but he did come into where I work a few years ago; I just took his payment and moved on. lol LESSON LEARNED!

I've had two.

Both when I was younger. (I got married to my hubby shortly before I turned 21- so most of my date stories would be when I was 17 or younger! lol)

Anyway, the first one, I went out with this nice guy. We went to- I think Red Lobster. However, he was so quiet until he started talking about his football. And he went into discussing how many yards, and this, and his training- everything. It was kind of long and drawn out. We finish our meals, and he did pay for the bill, and he brought me home. He was a gentleman about it all, until he kissed me goodnight. He literally licked all over my lips and the bottom part of my face trying to kiss me. It disgusted me so bad, but I was a perfect lady about it, and told him thank you for the date and went into the house. I didn't go on a second date with him, although we did remain friends. Turns out, that was a good thing, because he had a girlfriend at the time too.

Second bad date I had, I had actually been dating the guy for a few weeks, and we were hitting it off really well. He picked me up, and we were on our way to a resturant, when he started to merge lanes. He didn't see the big red truck behind him, and almost hit him. Correcting himself, he went back into his own lane- but, turns out the guy in the truck was an off duty police officer. He sped up beside us, showed the badge and screamed into the window- PULL OVER NOW! We did, and my date apologized profusely, to the man, and didn't get into any trouble. It scared him and me half to death, though, so we ended up coming back to my house, spending the rest of the date, watching a movie with my mom and older brother. After that, (and the fact that I wouldn't sleep with him), we stopped dating. LOL

So, while not really horrible, those are my worst. I could tell my bests better. Every date I had with my hubby when I met him, and so forth, were great dates. I really and truly believe he is my soulmate. He's at basic right now training, and I miss him entirely.

That may be a great idea for a follow up thread Bumble! (Since we have put some of our "worst" out there and I know we all have some good ones to share!)
