1. I had a prom blind date...
I went to an all girls boarding school, and my friend wanted me to go to a prom with her at all all boys school. She got her BF to fix me up with one of his "friends".

Good lord, the guy shows up, not attractive in the least (IMHO) and proceeds to grope me the minute I say hi. I was prepared to suck it up through the prom (for my friend), but then he got really drunk and slapped me when I tried to push him off me.

Ahhh - high school - it really sucked.

2. Well, when I was about 18 years old....
... This was in the 70's and nobody seemed to actually date then. Not what anyone would call a date - pick you up, go somewhere, etc. We all just kind of hung around together and met up at places. It was sort of a drag.

One afternoon, I was talking to a guy I knew in one of the local bars and he actually asked me out to dinner! It was amazing. I wasn't really interested in him romantically but I liked him and the thought of going on a real, actual date intrigued me so I said yes. He arranged to pick me up at my place the following Friday night.

Well, the big night came around and he showed up at the door as promised. I went downstairs with him to find a VW Bug with 3 people already in it. Didn't bode well but I'm an optimist (or an idiot) so I squashed in and we began to drive.

Somebody handed me a hit of acid. Well, it was the 70's. So I ate it and wondered who these people were and where we were going. They were all babbling to each other and it seemed they were two of the guy's brothers and the girlfriend of one of them and we were going to their father's house, for some unknown reason. Okay, I thought, go with it. Maybe we're dropping them off.

One odd thing about this family - they all had names that began with M. So the guy I was supposed to be with was Mark and his brothers were Matt and Mike and his dad was Murray and there were some other brothers at Murray's house (Manny and Milt, I think) and it was very confusing.

Dad's house was loud and boisterous. I was like a mouse in the corner while all these rowdy guys with M names laughed and whooped and hollered with Murray about who the hell knows what. The acid was starting to creep in and I was wondering how I could get out of this whole thing. I should have just asked the guy, "hey are we going out to eat or what?" but it was so strange and surreal that I somehow couldn't.

Left there, drove to another brother's house. Max. By this time, it was getting late. Acid's kicked in real good. I'm flying. We're all sitting around Max's house drinking and smoking and partying and I suddenly realize that I have not said one word since I got into the car several hours before. Oh, hell, I'm thinking. They must think I'm a moran or something. I've got to say something but what? I strained my brain trying to make sense of the conversation and finally when I thought I saw an opening, I took a deep breath and said... something. I don't know what. But suddenly, all conversation ceased and everyone in the room turned to look at me with expressions on their face that looked like I'd just spoken in Chinese.

It was too much. I simply leaped to my feet and ran out of there. Ran all the way home, as a matter of fact. And that's my story. Maybe not a date from hell but just plain wierd.

4. Date from hell...oh God. Too embarassing to even think about, let alone
talk about, really...
Basically, guy I was REALLY hung up on, and he knew it, and used me like a fucking paper towel: soil, then discard.

Still hurts to think about it.

5. It was a girl that I met at a club (a friend already knew her though)...
anyway, so we hit it off that night and we set up a date. We went to the local lesbian coffeeshop for coffee and dinner. It was my first time there, but I heard good things. Anyway, so she ended up being quite obsessive over her weight. She spent the whole night bitching about how many calories she was eating, but that she loved food too much to give it up. Then, she was bitching about how since she graduated college and was no longer a college swimmer, she gained 30lbs, but that she just had no motivation to exercise. My feelings were basically, do something about it or shut up. Doing nothing isn't going to lose 30lbs. I thought she could lose a few pounds, but that she was still definitely very cute. Then, to add to the general annoyance, the owners of the cafe wouldn't leave us alone. They were interrupting us every two minutes to chat or ask us if we needed anything. It's a good thing to be friendly to the customers, but don't bother them.

So, after dinner...
She invites me back to her apartment to "hang out on the couch and watch tv." You see, in my mind this sounds like, "make out on the couch" so I said yes. I get back to her apartment and she asks me what I want to watch on tv. I stupidly answer, "whatever" and this turned into my fatal mistake. You see, she was obsessed with "THE GOLDEN GIRLS!" And by obsessed, I mean obsessed. She had every episode ever recorded onto VHS in SP mode to maintain higher quality. They were all lined up meticulously on shelves in her bedroom with a headshot of all the actresses above it. She even said, "Rose Nyland is pretty hot for an older woman." (She was 24 and I was 21 at the time) Now, I've dated women twice my age, but I'm not into those who could be my grandmother.

We sat down on the couch with some popcorn and a couple episodes of "The Golden Girls." I was about to enter a world of mental pain. You see, I wasn't allowed to talk during "The Golden Girls" but she was allowed to talk. She spent the whole time spouting off all of the Golden Girls factoids she knew, which was officially, a WHOLE FUCKING LOT.

Eventually, I made my escape. I used the excuse of having to get up early for work. She kissed me tonight, and there was absolutely no chemistry at all. She called me a couple times, but I never answered the phone.

6. When I was in high school, I was in JROTC
And every year they had this big formal ball. It was second only to the prom. I was either 15 or 16 and I was supposed to get this award and I had a date and I was soooooo excited. He came in his Class As to pick me up, jump boots all polished and shiny and we went on our merry way. The evening was going well and he excused himself...I can't remember where he said he was going...to smoke a cigarette, maybe?

Anyway...he never came back. I waited and waited in the lobby. Nothing. I finally went back inside by myself and laughed it off...but I was never so humiliated in my life.

7. A woman who complained to me when she received change that
wasn't "bank-faced," and continued to complain as she bank-faced the money before putting it into her wallet.

The date wasn't all that bad, but I thought that odd. And there was no second date.

12. It's funny, but after working in a grocery store that required bank facing
from all us checkers, even though that was almost 20 years ago, I still get pissed off with stores that don't require it and give me money all higgledypiggledy, and force me to face it all before I put it in my wallet. And all my money has, ever since working there, been faced. Even during the short stints I did at two other retail stores that didn't require it, my money was always faced, and customers always got their change faced.

It's just common courtesy, you know?

Well, maybe not in an objective sense, but clearly I had it hammered home in me, and when I get unfaced money, I think, "Sloppy. Doesn't care about customers. No attention to detail." :-)

8. Just one?
There was:

"Oh, BTW my fiance is a police officer girl". My thought process proceeds from "What do you mean fiance?" to "Just Great!...I'm going to get shot". Spent the whole date looking over my shoulder. Two days later I was pulled over for a minor traffic violation, and thought I "it's HIM, I'm dead!". It wasn't, but that cop probably never had someone so happy to get a ticket in his career.

"Medical condition girl". Spent the date dealing with her low blood sugar, claustrophobia, shortness of breath, and a couple of other aliments. After a few hours of this, I was wore out and told her I was taking her home. She was actually shocked I didn't want to spend more time with her.

"Jehovah's Witness girl" Weird date, she'd go from real religious to real seductive and back again over and over. I couldn't figure out if she wanted to convert me or lose her virginity to me (neither happened).

"Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde girl" Meet her at work. Real nice, cute, blond, blue eyed, intelligent girl. Got her out of the work environment and she turned into this swearing, crude, smoking, drunken beast.

9. Stinky
It wasn't an official date, but this guy I knew while living abroad had a crush on me. He showed up at the local watering hole with his hottie friend & joined my friend & I.

The hottie was funny, and was chatting my friend & I up.

So this freakshow who liked me took off his shoe, started sniffing it & saying, "mmmmm." *sniff* "Mmmmm, good smell." ***SNIFFFF*** "Really good smell!!!"

My friend & I exchanged looks of horrified shock & attempted to hold back the giggles. His friend cuffed him off the head & asked, in their native tongue, "WTF are you DOING, you idiot?!?!?"

"I wanted her to know that I make enough money to support her - and that I have nice shoes"

All I could do was shake my head & laugh. I was convinced that I'd seen it all.

11. The Really ..REALLY strange one was:
I met this sweet Lady in a Coffee Shop...We talked for a while....We go to my house..
She says she needs something from the store and it's a "Surprise"

Me...being an understanding person, let her borrow my car to go to store.

She NEVER came back...and I mean never.
The police (Insurance Company) found my car 2000 Miles away about 5 days after I
met this "Lady"

I told my friends: Christ, I must be a real Shitty Date!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

14. I met this guy in Chicago. He was very attractive, a straight hairdresser
with a great rock n roll look. He lived nearby, we'd met on the L platform, started chatting. So we decided to double date with some friends of his. I'd bought a new white shirt from Esprit and needed to iron it before going out, and I didn't have an iron, so I went to his apartment to iron it. Oddly, while ironing it, the sleeve turned yellow. I'm sure it was some sort of chemical, but it upset me. It was a new shirt, we were going out and my shirt was ruined and I made a small fuss about it.

This guy started YELLING at me in the loudest, most violent manner with horrific and abusive language. I was absolutely shocked and stunned and very scared. So I kept ironing and was silently freaking out. I knew I needed to get out of there fast, so I calmly said I was going to run back to my apartment to get a different shirt and would be back in 10 minutes.

I never went back. He called me and I said I wasn't feeling well and decided to stay home. I never heard from him again.

He really scared me...

15. Shortly after my marriage ended...
...I met someone on-line and we met for a drink.

She was nice, cute, witty, had her own successful busniness. So far, so good...

But she got really fucking hammered. When we finished our drinks and discreetly ordered the cheque, she wobbled off to the washroom, swiping drinks off other tables on her way to/from.

Then she said she wanted to go see strippers, so we did (strippers aren't my forte). We ended-up backstage, somehow, and she smoked a joint with one of the feature dancers and they started making out....

Oh, wait.... that was a good date.

Nevermind.

19. Well, There Was This One...
First, you have to now that I practically introduced myself as by saying, "I'm REP and I'm not having children, ever." Now that I'm not single, I don't need to do that.

So I met this guy, and he was going on and on about how beautiful I was. Oh so gorgeous this and gorgeous that. Then, while we were out to dinner, he was saying what beautiful children we'd have. Say WHAT? No thanks. I keep pointing out that I didn't want children, and especially not with some guy I'd just met. Then he was on about how I might be even prettier if I cut my hair ... and dyed it blonde ... and got green contacts ... and did this ... and that ...

I called the waiter over and asked for separate tables. And yes, he got the check.
