Awful First Dates

Featured Replies

Very funny website detailing awful first dates

http://awfulfirstdates.com/

This one made me laugh out loud. Scooby doo, where are you??? :)

Over dinner, he told me he’d put my photo on his website (he found it online) and hat he’d already told his mom all about me and really, all he wanted to do was get married. He also informed me that I would be required to have as many children as possible, and he’s already got the names. He got progressively drunker and accused me of flirting with the waiting staff. The next day, he sent me a text with a picture of him dressed up as Scooby Doo for no reason. He calls three weeks later, accusing me of giving him chlamydia. I had to explain it wasn’t transmitted through kissing.

I don't know if I ever had a first date awful enough to post on this site but I do have to say that the date I went on back in college with this really cute guy (looked like young Mel Gibson) didn't end up so well when he said, "I can't go out next weekend because my wife is back then, but if you are free Wednesday?". :D

That WOULD kind of put a damper on an otherwise nice date. :D

I haven't had any bad dates in a long, long time. Maybe it's because I matured a lot and eventually learned how not to screw up. But, I certainly remember some bad ones when going to university. Very often the most memorable bad ones were "Blind" dates where we had never met before the occasion. I quickly learned to be truthful all the time and never say more than was necessary. Very often the dates where you have the greatest expectations turn out to be duds and the spur of the moment dates turn out great. Sometimes the bad dates were no fault of either myself or the gal. It was just some strange event that turned everything sour.

I was so nervous that i knocked his beer over and he spent the rest of the day walking around looking like he'd pee-d in his pants.

So did Wednesday go any better?

I think its quite rude to talk about other women when out on a date.

Oddly enough, I didn't go out with him the next wednesday. Plenty of other unmarried fish in the sea.

Is this sea near kho Samui lol :)

I cannot remember ever having a bad first date,only good fun experiences and happy times,as above i never expect much and always feel if you are totally relaxed so will your date be,then humour just flows naturally and never presume anything take the night for what it is, a getting to know a lady and her ways,what she likes and does not,i think being a good reader of peoples behaviour and mannerisms helps so much and if they like you this also builds confidence for trust and open discussion.

In fact first dates are the highlight of a lot of romances,in truth it never is as good after the honeymoon period is over.unless you want to stay single and play the field which although short term is fun,eventually it can lead to a lonely existance for either sex. :)

Always up for a first date,the second one? well thats the worrying one! :D

I have had several bad first dates; one where the girl took me to a bar in her town where her mum and dad were playing pool, we spent the evening with them and all her dad could talk about was me getting my legover his daughter! It was like the 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' sketch from Monty Python, but much more disturbing (especially on a first date!)

Another one was almost a second date, but the first 'date' had been a work outing where everyone else had disappeared and I ended up spending a pleasant day with this girl by accident. On the 'second' date, she said she 'knew we were meant to be together'. I escaped to Thailand and have been hiding ever since.

manjara, the dad story is just creepy. wow.

I'm English, we don't date. We go out, get drunk, snog someone, he doesn't call. We go out again, meet same guy, stay at his house. He either calls after which means you are boyfriend and girflriend, or doesn't, which means your not. And who said romance was dead???

lol, mssabai has totally said what I was thinking the other day about this topic. We really aren't a nation of daters are we? Every bf I ever had was a friend of someone I know or who I met in the pub when out with friends. :)

Thanks for the laugh. I can see some parallels. :D

Young folk usually are searching for that one perfect person. Eventually, they realize there ISN'T such a person. At that point they start looking for second or third best. At some point in the game they start thinking of marriage and having kids. Unfortunately, for women, they are stuck with biology. If they don't get started soon enough it ain't going to happen. That can change the parameters of their thinking and they might settle for some guy who isn't half the man that they tossed away years before.

A lot has to do with luck. I often think of a few great gals that I parted company with long before either of us were ready for marriage. Who knows how it might have turned out like if we met 20 years later and gotten married. I know I didn't truly love my first wife, but she fit many of the qualities I wanted in a woman at a time I was ready to get married. I fit the same qualities for her. 20 years later we split up. I have no regrets because we basically had a good life together and raised two wonderful children into responsible adults that any parent would be proud of. I wondered how it would have been if I had met my second wife at the time I met my first wife. I was nuts in love with that lady, but her druggy son ruined our marriage. Had I been the original father it would have been entirely different.

Life throws us some curves and we just have to accept the consequences of our actions.

I went out with a guy once who got out a pocket knife and started cutting up his CHINESE FOOD (which is already cut up in to teeny tiny pieces). SO embarrassing.

Mssabai,

When i lived in Edinburgh when i was young and beautiful, i bumped into the most hansum man in the the town. I bet him a drink that he wouldn't ring me at 6 o clock the next day. I was a bit forward at the time. He did!! So we went out for a couple of drinks and then he drove me home. (Shise he had a car!!) I asked him in for a coffee, as you are wont to do.

I had just aquired the first of many to come kittens at the time, Suzy. (out of ten so far, i think)

And he was extremely allergic to cats!! Like life threatening, throat closing, non breathing allergy.

End of that romance... I saw him about ten years later and he was still gorgeous. His name was Dave. Perhaps, now that i think about it, he was just making up excuses and he didn't really fancy me`!!!

Och well, i was only 19.

Feline Attraction or not in your case :)

My mother was allergic to cats and did just as you said this guy did. It made visiting certain people very difficult for mother.

When the bill came, he asked if we could split it. I had a $10 salad and water, while he’d had the lamb and several drinks. The restaurant didn’t accept my credit card, so I had to leave the table to find an ATM. When I returned with the cash and rolled my eyes, he justified it by saying, “Well, I’m never going to see you again.”

Ratings: dam_n, that's awful!=25 Meh, not so bad=0

Equality I see.

Many reports (all?) focus on the duff guy, there are an equal number of awful women out there. One first date I had wanted to leave the bar we had had a drink at quickly, I was driving her home and was asked to quickly pop in to see her mother at a hospital on the way. As she had a drip in and was not very well at all I assumed that on her death bed wanted to see her daughter with a BF before she passed away.

On a semi blind date through a relation of a friend, she looked promising when she sent me a picture by email, pity the photograph was almost twenty years out of date before she began maturing into a hippo.

:) Cuban, seriously? she took you to see her mother in the hospital on a blind date?

Lotsa weirdos out there, men and women alike. There is no monopoly on that one!

:) Gawd!

I havent really had so many "dates", i seem to be a serial monogamist lol.

When i was 16 though, a guy took me out, and felt agonising at the time. He had practically no conversational skills, and even though i tried to encourage him by opening up topics of discussion, it was like "tick tock tick tock". When he suggested going to see a movie, i leaped at the opportunity, if only to feel less awkward. He chose the movie for us, and i didnt know what i was going in to see. Turned out it was Hellraiser. When it got to the part of the hellraiser dude coming out of the bloody mattress (fairly near the start), id had enough, and walked out. Im sorry, but wth was he thinking! Ok, we were young..but even so!

Another guy, when i was around the same age, was much older, 19yrs old or maybe was 21 in fact...hmm no, i think it was 19. I remember at the time thinking it was really cool he asked me out. He was the held-back-in-school-several-times kinda guy that still hung out with kids. So he was only really cool to people our ages..lol. Anyway, that lasted extremely short when i realised my dating him consisted of me really just hanging around whilst he played football. THe clincher came when finally he tried to kiss me one evening and he did this open mouthed no tongue vacuuming style kiss. I thought he was going to suction off sections of my face. I had no idea anyone could even open their mouths so wide..particularly when attempting to kiss someone. Was like being kissed by a fish..

Yes, teenage boys seem to think sucky face is sexy... Yuk. I knew one who told his friends that I didn't know how to kiss. Sheesh, if I had kissed like him we would have swallowed each others heads!!

Oh Gawd do I ever remember those early days of dating... :D Us guys were SO inexperienced and nervous. Most of us didn't have a clue what to do. Even attempting to hold the girl's hand was a risky adventure. We never were sure what was expected. Sure glad I don't have to go through THAT again. :D Thanks for my evening laugh, eek and patsycat. :D

All my first dates led to second dates and so forth. I was a kind considerate and hansum young man, I knew how to treat the ladies :D .

These days I throw rocks at the ladies :) , motorcycles, yachting, water ski-ing, camping, fishing and peaceful times are my thing, of course a woman would only ruin these things :D .

nb: Its very difficult to find the quality woman such as sbk, eek, boo, sheryl, bina & mig. (geeze i hope ive covered all the female moderators :D ) and of course none of my comments apply to them.

^ lol whatcha after Neverdie?

(call me cynical..but when neverdie gets complimentary, i steady myself for a whats coming next! :) )

^U baby :):D

You forgot me... :)

You forgot me... :)

No he didn't, Patsycat. Neverdie was just sucking up to the female MODS. :D

yer still a moderator in training. :D

Im not a mod! But, no worries Patsy, you can have my share. :):D

Ta.

That was the fun of it all wasn't it?

I remember practising kissing before going on a date at the school disco!

And going back to my mates after and them asking did you get anything,girls also did the same thing i presume but on a more girly level...."he kissed me"...."are you going out with him now then"

While the boys would ask more direct questions like...."did you get owt??".... "lets smell your fingers"

The funniest was when your date at the disco thought a kiss and a fondle was the green light for a life together and used to wait for you at the school gates....and you had to make the choice of her or your mates....of course you had to choose your mates but used to sneak off on the way home to see her! :D

Dancing in the mirror thinking you looked like a stud. OMG!!

Nothings changed for me really :)

You forgot me... :cheesy:

Honey, I've already had you :) & let me tell you, I will NEVER FORGET :D:D:D:D:D:D .

Hows that for a save? :D:clap2:
