Have you ever been on "the date from h3ll?"?

Question

I just got back from quite possibly the worst date I've ever been on in my life so now I'm in a grumpy mood.

Have you ever been on a date where you just wanted to run away screaming? Did you suffer through the date or go home?

Share some stories please.

Answer 1

This is a neat question, so hopefully you'll get some really funny stories to cheer you up so the whole night won't be a total bust!  Sorry it went so badly, but hopefully, at some point in the future, it will be something you can look back and laugh about.

My WORST date happened many years ago when my aunt and my mother got together when I was 16 and hatched this plan for me to double date to my cousin's prom with him, his girlfriend, and a "nice boy from their neighborhood who needed a date to the prom."  

I was pretty stupid and naive at the time, so, believe it or not, nothing about that plan actually even set off any alarm bells for me.  (Duh- mother and aunt working together, double date, blind date, prom, "nice boy from neighborhood," needs a date to the prom)....at this point in life, I look back and think that any teenage girl with working brain cells should have panicked over any ONE of those scenarios, and to manage to have them all rolled into one nifty little package?  Like I said, I was pretty clueless.

So, I obliviously agreed to this idea.  My mother and aunt had a ball, picking out a dress, planning hair, make up, nails, etc.  I was basically their live Barbie doll for the evening because I wasn't excited, but nor was I appalled - I was just indifferent.

Until my date showed up...there he stood in his powder blue tuxedo with matching bow tie (chosen by his mother I presume to match his blue eyes.) -I did see at some point that he had blue eyes.  Didn't notice them immediately because of the big gold horn-rimmed glasses.

He also had a mass of unruly curly red hair, which I imagine my date planners thought adorable, very, very pale white skin with every inch of his face freckled, and although not fat, he was definitely on the husky side.

My boyfriend now is my "ideal type" - spanish, very tan complexion, jet black hair, and dark eyes...so you can compare "my perfect guy" with him, and imagine my initial impression.  This poor guy was the antithesis of any guy I would have ever dated.

And still, I did not run kicking and screaming to the other room, or become suddenly and inexplicably violently ill- no not me...I'm a trooper.  I posed for pictures, cringed as they encouraged him to wrap his arm around my shoulder.  An appropriate prom picture should, I presume, look like you're happy to be together. I smiled when they told me to.

And, then we left for the prom.  My cousin drove, so there I sat in the back seat with prom date guy.  Of course my cousin and his girlfriend were madly "in love," so they held hands, smooched every few minutes, etc, all the way there.  Prom date guy moved over closer and put his arm around my shoulder, and I promptly stiffened and gazed out the window.  

I didn't look at him again when we arrived.  I knew no one in their town, and no one at their school.  Lol, looking back, I suppose I should have been grateful.  This is looking back from the perspective of a teen, and while I was never snooty or mean to anyone, at my school, I was pretty much part of the "in crowd."  I was in student government, I was a cheerleader, etc...pretty well known - and this guy was clearly a captain of the geek squad.  I remember being SO HAPPY that it was dark when we walked in, so not too many people might actually see us.

I wanted to sit stationed at a table until it was time to go, but oh no, he wanted to dance.  I very, very grudgingly accompanied him to the dance floor after my cousin kicked me under the table.  

FINALLY, after what seemed like hours, but I'm guessing was about 30 minutes, my cousin decided we should leave.  I was thrilled and relieved- it would all be over soon.

Not so.

Keep in mind, I don't know my way around this place, so I assume we're headed home...until I realize my cousin has turned off and we are now traveling down some dirt road.  He stops the car, and they pull out a bottle of liquor.  

To give you a full understanding of how naive I actually was, I didn't even have enough sense to be concerned about the fact that he was drinking and driving...I was just pissed off because he had stopped somewhere and I was ready to go home.  Well, of course they told me I was being a baby, it was prom night, I had to try it, etc. etc.  

I took a sip to shut them up...and wanted nothing more to do with it.  They continued passing it around and laughing and talking...until my cousin and his girlfriend started making out...like I said, they were "in love."  So, of course, being an adolescent male with a date out on a darkened dirt road, geek guy prom date decides to make his move.  He put his arm around me, and attempted to pull me close, and asked me if I were cold (It's June and south of the Mason Dixon line- om, NO!)

But, again, I'm stupid and gullible, and I really had no clue what I was supposed to do.  I couldn't ask my cousin because he and his girlfriend had gotten back in the car and were clearly wrapped up (literally) w

Answer 2

Yes I went on this internet date once where the girl said she was normal size. Well if normal was 300lbs then she was normal. Anyways a little big for me but we went to dinner an she kept telling me that she wouldn't have s*x with me. Not that I was intertaining the idea cause I wasn't. An that she was moveing an asked if I could help. So in the prospect of ending the date sooner I helped her move. An my reward would be in the form of oral. Well No thanks I moved those boxed said bye an never spoke to her again. Now I know to stay away from "normal girls".

Answer 3

aww poor you katie :(

I will try to cheer you up by just saying that it can't have been as bad as some of the dates i've put the ladies through =D

I'm a shocker but its not intentional or malicious I think...  

Answer 4

Well, I was on a date with my then boyfriend. We went to see a movie I didn't enjoy. It was about some firemen that got trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Don't get me wrong. The actual event was a national tragedy that affected us all deeply. But this movie was cheesy!

My boyfriend on the other hand, was deeply affected by the movie. So much so that it rendered him utterly disinterested in s*x for the rest of the night and the conversation was... lacking.

Answer 5

Oh God...I used to go to a "Dating Agency"..and they sent me some real doosies. One day the woman said..."He's a bit shorter than you." so I said, How bad can that be? He was A "Midget". He kind of looked like Danny Devito, only shorter. He had this old rickety truck, and wore a TON Of cologne. It was SO Embarrasing walking into friendly's with him! People kept staring at us. All I can think of while I was sitting in the truck was the movie Romancing the Stone! LOL!

Then they sent me a murderer! OH, but he was my favorite, and we got a long great, until one halloween night, his brother called me, and told me he shot his ex girlfriend, and ran her new boyfriend over with his truck, and shot himself..."Lovely"..I thought. He was in a bar, before he was going to pick me up, so he was drunk as well!!!! We were supposed to go out to dinner, so I'm glad he didn't show up!

Then they sent me this guy..GOD He walked as SLOW AS A Turtle!!!!! He was a corrections officer...imagine him moving in a hurry?? LOL! Then he's like: "Oh, I hope you don't mind, but I keep a gun in the truck." :O:O:O:O

My advice: Don't go to a dating service. :)

Answer 6

I once went on a date with a guy I dated in early high school. I hadn't seen him in like five years, and the entire time we were out kept dropping subtle hints  that he wanted to marry me. This guy was a hardcore conservative Mormon and I am a hardcore liberal, feminist liberation theologian and he was talking about marrying me. I was like, "You don't want to marry me. I'm pretty much for everything your religion is against." He said, "That's OK, you can have a job if that's what you want." I said, "But I don't like kids and don't plan on having them." He said, "That's OK, you'll probably change your mind." I replied, "Even if I did, I would never want five of them. And I could never raise them in a church that tells them masturbating is wrong." The whole date went on like that. I would give him a reason why it would never work out and he would give me a reason why he would be OK with my lifestyle choices even though he really wouldn't be.

In all fairness though, it was stupid of me to say yes to his invitation.  

Answer 7

I went on a date once with what seemed like a nice, clean cut guy, and when he stopped to buy gas, I saw him buying drugs from some guy out of the rear view mirror. He got back in the car and said "Let's skip dinner and go back to my place and do some crack."

I very stonily replied that I would like to go home.  

Answer 8

Yup.  Answered this on line ad from a woman who "weighed 130lbs."  When I saw her, she weighed about 100 lbs if she was lucky (she was 5'6".)  

When I casually asked her why she um, looked skinnier than 130lbs, she freaked out, yelling, going into hysterics about "that's what all the guys say" and other loud audibles.

So stupid me still takes her to an expensive Italian restaurant.  She has another conniption fit just when we start eating & starts yelling in the restaurant.  Then she angrily left (I think she yelled at the waiter too.)  The waiter was embarrased for me and the meal cost me $100.    

I'm not sure if she had aids...or on drugs...or just nuts.
