Dumbest things said to you on a date - I'll go first |
|
(Let's keep this NON-sexual, or the thread will be deleted!)
What is the dumbest, stupidest, or most shocking thing said to you on a date?
I'll go first. How 'bout:
"I like being seen with you."
(What could I say? Something like, "Oh, I'm so glad to know you're not out with me because you like me or anything...it's only that you like to be SEEN with me...and by whom do you want to be seen?)
YOUR TURN!

1. Saw the movie "Natural Born Killers" on a first date. |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 12:58 PM by Worst Username Ever
Stunned silence for the rest of the date. Did the same damn thing on another first date, saw "very bad things." Same result!
On edit, that was the dumbest thing I have DONE on a date, but whateva.

14. I've got another date-killing movie for you. |
|
Don't EVER rent "Your Friends and Neighbors" and watch it with someone you're dating or interested in dating. It is the ultimate anti-romance/anti-date movie.

21. And here's yet another one: |
|
When Harry Met Sally. I saw it when it first came out with a guy I worked with whom I was really attracted to and interested in, and I was so excited when he finally asked me out. We made the mistake of going to see that, I think it puts a lot of pressure on people who are just starting to date and can make things uncomfortable. That, and the fact that he was still getting over an ex-girlfriend and the movie made him think of her all the more!!

28. I don't know if you've seen it but... |
|
...the problem with "Your Friends and Neighbors" is that it hilights, to an excruciating degree, how terribly wrong relationships can go. I watched it with a guy I'd just started dating and we were so tense and uncomfortable with each other afterwards. Things didn't go anywhere after that.

but from the sound of it I can certainly understand why it would be a very uncomfortable first or early-dating movie!

I had a buddy see that one on a first date. About a father who has sex with his young son's friends! He had no idea, thought it would be a sentimental-type flick from the title. Movie-picking skills seem to lack in my group.

...I know a perfect date movie. I recommend this movie every chance I get. If the mods have been paying attention, they are probably rolling their eyes by now. If you ever get the chance check out the movie "Happy Accidents" with Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei. Excellent, excellent movie.

If I was dating someone, it would be a plus in my book if she was the kind of person who could appreciate a movie like that. But I would still wait until well after the first date to find that out. :P

15. Well, I'm a single parent |
|
who's also pro-choice. So I go on a date (this was several years ago) with a fairly liberal guy who seems really nice; we meet at the restaurant, exchange the usual pleasantries, etc. Then, out of the blue, he asks me "so, why did you decide to go through with your pregnancy and keep your son? Why didn't you have an abortion?"
Ummm.......after I picked my jaw back up off the floor, popped my eyes back into my head and regained some composure, I simply said that it was a personal decision, as all of those decisions are, and to leave it at that. Needless to say, it went seriously downhill after that. I just could not BELIEVE he asked me that!!!! I mean, can you imagine HIS reaction if I'd asked him "so, have you ever knocked anyone up?", or something like that! In 22 years of being in the dating world, I've had some real doozies as far as bad dates are concerned, but that question HAD to take the ultimate cake!

|
me: "really?" (although not wanting to know)
her: "yes, it was soft and kind of squishy, it reminded me of a raisinet, i played with it for a little bit after they removed it"
needless to say, i paid for dinner and left without requesting a second date (things wouldn't have worked out regardless, but that was the raisinet on the cake). :puke:

52. Two winners, both from my grad school days |
|
1) Remember that famous New Yorker cover of a Manhattanite's view of the United States, with everything really vague past the Hudson River? I used to think it was an exaggeration. Well, while attending grad school on the East Coast, I went out with this guy from New York City, and we were having the usual get-acquainted conversation, and he suddenly said, "I keep forgetting. Does Minnesota have a seacoast?" I mumbled something about "not in this geological era," and ever thereafter believed in the truth of the New Yorker cover.
2) A guy asked me out to see a showing of Plan Nine from Outer Space on campus. I assumed that it was going to be an evening of campy fun, but this fellow really liked that pathetic movie, not in a "this is so bad that it's good" way, but with real appreciation.
Afterwards we went out for pizza, and it was clear that he was one of that all-too-common species of grad students who was very smart in his field but utterly stupid in everything else. As we got ready to leave, he said, "Your place or mine?" I was astounded, because there was no chemistry between us, and I had been acting distinctly unenthralled with him, so I said, "You go to your place, and I'll go to mine." He said indignantly, "But I paid for your pizza!"

54. I went out a few years ago |
|
with one of my boss's friends, an older gentleman who was, apparently, quite rich. Unfortunately, he didn't have a "richness" of manners because, when I ordered iced tea for my drink, he told the waitress to "bring her some wine or something real to drink, how am I going to get her panties down if she doesn't have anything to drink?"
He was absolutely serious too! I wanted to sink right down under the table and into Lake Erie (we were on the restaurant's outdoor patio built right over the lake); I think my face turned ten shades of red! Needless to say, the waitress didn't bring me a drink and he did NOT get my panties down, then or any other time!

57. ...so what did you do to cause your divorce?.... |
|
After 8 years of a horrible marriage and two kids, on my first date after two years of my divorce, the guy asked 'so what did you do to cause your divorce?'....I almost dropped dead.
On my second date, a different guy of course, I protected myself by saying that my ex had died while on duty, he was a cop. When the guy wanted more details, I said, I really want to know more about you. We had a real nice time and dated for a couple of months, until he asked me how much money I was getting from my ex' police pension. I dropped him.

You could have been an 18-year-old girl on a first date with the 21-year-old friend of a friend, having a reasonably good time at dinner when he suddenly - and in all seriousness - asked you to marry him.

60. Here's another one. Out for friendly drinks with an old boyfriend. |
|
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 01:40 PM by TexasSissy
It's not a "date" date. We're having friendly drinks, reminiscing about high school. And I am madly in love with someone else at the time.
First time I've seen this old boyfriend in years. He called out of the blue to have a drink.
So we're having drinks at a table somewhere, and he says - out of the blue, from nowhere - something like, "I just want to let you know that I don't want a relationship right now. I'm not seeing anyone else or anything. I'm just not ready to get real involved right now."
WTF? I'd said or done nothing to indicate that I had that in mind at all! I thought I was just going over old times with an old friend, same as I would with a female friend. And I'm actually in love with another guy at the time!
What did I say in response? Well, he'd told a story about how forward women had become...he'd been in a bar, when a girl walked up and said she wanted a wine. He said he told her, "I don't remember offering."
So that's what I responded to him, when he said he didn't want a relationship. I said, "I don't remember offering." He blushed. I was friendly but cut the evening short, after telling him that I'M involved with someone else. So there. Over-inflated ego DEflated appropriately. (pat self on back)

68. "You're not fat. ...... You're just ample." |
|
It was years ago, and in all fairness, I'd mentioned that I wanted to lose a few pounds. But "ample"? I was 5'5" and weighed 118 pounds. And doctors wonder why there's an anorexia problem with young women.

93. I think he was reassuring me that I didn't have to worry too much about |
|
losing weight, since I'd mentioned it, that I wasn't "fat." But I think he really did mean that I was ample, to him. I took it to mean not fat, but not slim....ample.
I got even thinner several years later - 5'5" and weight about 113 pounds. I HAD weighed about 110, but went up to around 113. A date told me I was putting on weight. 113 pounds. 5'5".
I'd be delighted to see those numbers on a scale these days! But I'd have to give up too much in order for that to happen, so bye bye to 118 (and to men who think that 118 on a 5'5" frame is "ample").

100. I'm the same height and used to weigh the same |
|
I weighed 109 when I entered college, and everybody told me how "fat" I got when I weighed 118 by the end of the year. My boyfriend constantly nagged me to lose weight.
Would I love to weigh 118 again! But I'd have to eat raw vegetables and nothing more to achieve that, and for what? So I can wear tiny little outfits designed for women half my age? No thanks. I really am "ample" now and I enjoy it. Pass me that pan of brownies, will ya? ;-)
I agree with you about the unhealthy messages that our society sends. No wonder so many people have eating disorders.

84. I've had the opposite problem in meeting women from online |
|
Back in the early days of the internets, before it was easy to d/l pics from your digital camera, I met several women that would describe themselves as something to the effect of "I'm 5'6" 125 with really big breasts..." and they turn out to be quite a bit different in person.

94. Yeah, those internet thingies. You should probably add about 10 |
|
pounds to the weights people give....including the men.
But I really DID weigh 118 at that time. I remember that remark all these years later, because I was sort of stunned by it. I was ALWAYS aware of my weight, since I was obsessive about it.

I guess I blew it by being honest...and, I'm not talking about adding 10 pounds - I'm talking about adding 10 in the dress size department. I've dated a few BBWs in my time, but it's kind of disappointing that they felt the need to deceive me.

It would have been shorter, except I had to get a ride home and had to find someone who would leave early with me.
Fortunately, it wasn't a cruise where I was trapped on a boat on Lake Washington ... then I would have had to have jumped overboard and tried to swim for it. :D

74. That's the opposite of the most stupid thing a date ever said to me. |
|
I was not quite 24. I'd been dating this guy for two months. He was a well-known radio dude from the metropolitan area in which I lived, and apparently his "well-known, popular" status went to his big, enormous head.
We were having a beer at Glueck's downtown when he suddenly looked across the table at me and said, "I can't see you anymore."
Me: "Why?" (we always have to know why, of course)
Him: "I like you, and you're a nice girl and everything, but with my career I really only want to be seen with very beautiful girls."
Obviously, I wasn't good enough arm candy for him. Jerk. When I later went into the radio business myself, Mr. Big Ego took the credit, claiming to a mutual friend that he had "inspired" me.

As I was making out with the woman I had recently met in the parking lot of a local restaurant, I noticed a guy watching us. I said there is a guy over there watching us, or something to that effect. Her response was, "oh, that's my husband..."
Eeek, while I have no problem with her & hubby doing what they want with their sex lives, it's not something for me. Oh well, she was a great kisser, too.

My biggest mistake was something I'm usually very good with - in high school, I worked in a small store with a Jewish owner, so I was always very sensitive about saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" at that time of year.
However, the one time I forgot was when I had met this very intelligent, really hot young woman (I was probably 23 at the time, she was around 20 or 21 and looked like Geena Davis' prettier little sister) and I left off a good conversation with, "oh, merry christmas"... "well, thanks, but I'm Jewish"

116. Remembered another one from college |
|
I had a stalker in my senior year, but before he became my stalker, he just plain followed me around. (I don't know where he found the time.) One day he tracked me down to the library, where I was looking at grad school catalogues. "What are you doing that for?" he asked, sitting down across from me. "You'll just be getting married anyway."
This isn't as bad as the guy one of my friends met while volunteering in a program for inner city children. He asked her out, and at the end of the first date, he seriously asked her to marry him. She was flabbergasted and protested that she hardly knew him, that she didn't know whether they had anything in common, etc.
He interrupted her with, "I don't see the problem. I'll go to work, I'll come home, you'll have dinner ready, we'll watch a little TV, and then go to bed."
Believe it or not, she turned down his offer.

Those are too funny....well, the first is kinda creepy in that some men really DO think the only reason women go to college is to find a husband.
That marriage offer - sounds like an offer to live in hell, to me.

you must be better endowed than I am.) His question actually may have been the result of so MUCH augmentation surgery going on these days. It's rampant. In my office I'm surrounded by women with implants. I have nothing against it, mind you. But I've noticed that it has gotten SO common. Maybe some men just want to know what they are dealing with...the real thing, or otherwise.

130. Lots of stuff...this is just a sample... |
|
...of the twisted minds that are out there!
On second date: "Please don't get involved with me, I'll only hurt you and then abandon you."
"I am not a virgin, you know."
"I don't care what my Dad said, I want to get drunk!"
After she flirted heavily with every other guy in the bar, then came back to me (who had brought her there as part of the date): "It doesn't mean anything."
After very heavy petting: "You're so nice, can we just be friends?"
After we, uh, you know: "I'm getting married this weekend."

After I ran into an old girlfriend at a bar who had wanted nothing to do with anything beyond third base while we were going out, but had since gotten married, and we had a few :toast: beers:
"Let's go to your place, OK?"
Her husband was a private detective. I demurred.
