I can pinpoint the worst date I've ever had in my life. One New Years Eve a girlfriend set me up on a blind date, with her brother-in-law. We doubled dated that night with her and her husband. She told me my date was a very sweet, handsome gentleman. When they arrived to pick me up my date was drunk as a skunk. I was hoping he'd be at least average looking. He ended up looking much older than his actual age. He also had a huge pot belly; probably from alcohol consumption! He certainly was not the way she had described him. After a while he really grossed me out. He kept staring and drooling over me, as though he was looking at a box of chocolates. He made numerous offers to buy me drinks, at the nightclub we had gone to. However, I declined his offer. I made sure to stay stone cold sober around him! The date was possibly the longest three hours of my life. On the way home he passed out in the car. When they dropped me off, I flew out of that car like a bat out of hell; especially since I had been on the date from HELL! Moral of the story: Think twice being going on a blind date! A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

went on a blind date once as my friend was meeting someone for the first time and didn't want to go on here own. We travelled all the way around the M25 and ended up in southend Essex. my date was the spitting image of Rodney off of only fools and horses, hers wasn't much better. We let them buy us a drink made our excuses to go to the toilet and legged it. lol Never been on a blind date since.

Quoting: beckski The date was possibly the longest three hours of my life...When they dropped me off, I flew out of that car like a bat out of hell; especially since I had been on the date from HELL! Sounds like the date I had with a russian woman last year. I met her on Match.com (you can stop laughing now) and she said she was 35, single, didn't smoke and was in decent physical shape, and had no children. There was a very sweet photo to back it all up. Then came the date - nearly 50 (older than me, by a bit), seriously overweight (she hates to exercise), chain smokes, chain drinks and had two children by two different men...Ah - but still single and never married...I wonder why? Such a catch!

Quoting: cutie suppose you don't talk to this girlfriend of yours anymore The nightmarish incident happened over 4 years ago. I've now forgiven her. I hadn't seen her in over a year. Ironically I bumped into her last week, at the 99 Cent Store. However, I didn't ask how her bro-in-law was doing! A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

Quoting: Fantasy agree with cutie ... how can you still talk to that friend ??? Yes, I'm still her friend. I suppose her definition of a sweet gentleman is very different from my definition. Perhaps she has cataracts! HA! A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

Quoting: BornInTheUSA said she was 35, Perhaps she was age 35 in dog years! That's one of the reasons why I'm not a fan of online dating. Some people have a tendency to stretch truth a bit! A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

Quoting: beckski Perhaps she was age 35 in dog years! It was likely an old photo. She was 35...once. Perhaps twice.

No real dates from hell except the time that I dated a girl and her personality focus was on her career more than anything else. I couldn't steer the conversation away from her work (which was for a law firm), despite many attempts at trying. A couple of drinks, a lot of awkward silences later I was dying to get out of there as I got bored of hearing about it and her ambitions. For me your job is not who you are so i don't like talking about work at the best of times, let alone for quite some time when on a date!

I learned a difficult lesson in High School.... There was this guy that had a crush on me and some of his female friends pressured me very hard to go out with him. He was a nice guy, but there just wasn't anything in common, nothing to talk about, and I didn't want to do it. These girls started to get so nasty with me, that I gave in and went on a date. He was really happy, and I gave it an honest effort, but there just wasn't any chemistry at all. That must have been the longest date of my life. Then when I declined a second date, he was hurt and upset. I felt horrible that he was hurt and upset. Then his btch friends were even more evil to me for shamelessly "breaking his heart". So I learned not to fake it, be yourself, and if it is meant to be it will happen...or not. And the other lesson....deal with the btch friends up front and be done. :)

If he's nice, he might have been too nice. Pushover, looks too eager, walking doormat, etc... we as a species need someone to push us forward, and "no-contest" often means "weak" to our innate biological sense. That just cools the tubes. Try this: heartless-btches.com (It seems violate the nastyspeak filter here - replace the with an i) Damn interesting female perspective on being "too nice".

Yes I have - went on a date with a guy - he actually said before we sat down to eat, I'll pay for dinner but only if you promise that you are going to come out on another date, hmmm, hard choice, I said of course, then I changed the name in my phone book to read "neveragain" so when "neveragain" came up calling on my phone i sent it to answer phone...I wouldnt mind, I would have been happy to go dutch (well not happy) if he hadnt of said that, as for another date, no chance, the thing I hadnt noticed in the dark bar we had met the week before was that he was ginger....and the thing I noticed on the date was he had so many annoying habbits, like breathing!

Ow - harsh Amathyst, harsh! I've met many women who get all breathy and fluttery on the first date too - in love with the idea of being in love. Pity there's never a garden hose around when you need one.

Quoting: BornInTheUSA If he's nice, he might have been too nice. I'm not sure if you were responding to my post or someone elses, but if it was mine, I have to say that it in my story it wasn't an issue of nice/too nice, it was case of nothing in common. I mean nothing aside from say being human and on the same planet. :(

I mean nothing... Yep - I probably got the wrong vibe on the post. I've seen friends try just too damn hard to be nice, so much that it kills any attraction. No-one likes an easy catch..it's like getting a date through Horn and Hardart... ;) (Nope - just didn't date myself there. I read history, not fiction)

i agreed to go on a date with a Nigerian guy once, I didnt really have a good feeling about it but he was so persistent that I finally agreed. He brought 4 beers at the bar and said they were all for me as he couldnt drink due to medical reasons...so I realised he was trying to get me pissed. After about 15 mins. he asked me if I was now his woman... I thought he was joking, but apparantly not and he starting talking about our future together. things got worse as he started quizzing me as to whether I had a British passport and then invited me to go clubbing with him and about 10 of his mates...I managed to get away after about an hour and had to change my phone number as he was bombarding me with calls and texts for months afterwards asking why I had broken his heart! guess the moral of the story is.. trust you instincts.. if someone seems dodgy, they generally are. This was several years ago and I didnt go on another date for quite some time after as this put me off.
