I know there's a lot of us that did Internet dating. Does anyone remember LavaLife?! Is that still around?! Lol Well it was a dude I had met on LavaLife during the dawn of Internet dating. I think his name was Brian, but when my gfs and reminisce about bad dates, we call him the barker. He was a Berklee grad (classical musician) & really cool/interesting - wore a bunch of different fedoras every time I saw him and he was into poetry slam (which was different for me, but thought I'd give it a try). Anyway, the first few dates were ok, actually. Then, one night, he just got WEIRD! We went to this hole in the wall Guatemalan restaurant right outside of DC. After we ordered, he started barking...LOUD! These little kids were sitting at a table close by and turned to look then the dude pointed at ME?! WTF?! I still can't believe I sat through the entire meal...but I never saw him again. And yes, he barked sporadically throughout dinner!

Another one I have was a group date (sorta). Went to a Korean karaoke place (thinking about you renegadewhit!), with a gf and her roommate. It was a blind date and I met the dude & his friend there. Turns out my date apparently raped my friend's roommate a couple of years back! Talk about an "OMG - should we call the cops?!" moment! She was freaking out, pointed at him & screamed so loud. He totally left w/o saying goodbye. It was so, so weird!

Wait, did dude give you a reason why he barking?? And that's totally creepy about your blind date.

[agpjt413]

juliern - He didn't! He was so weird like he was a completely different person! What if it was a twin switcheroo?! And yeah that was my last blind date!!!

Mine wasn't anywhere near as bad as you ladies!

Well, it didn't start off great when he was flirting with the waitress, but the kicker was he pulled over to watch the jaws of life pulling apart a car that had been in a really bad accident. I stayed in the car looking the other way as I wouldn't want to be stared at like that.

He was having a great time talking with the other losers watching and talking about how "f**king cool" it was. The police had to tell him twice to leave on top of me asking to go home.

Needless to say I didn't return his phonecalls after that

Oh wow!!

[nikolie93]

Wow, you ladies have really had some interesting ones! I didn't "date" much, most of my boyfriends were guys that I already knew from the car community.

I only tried one other date on match after that first incident and it was so awkward. He just would sit there and stare at me. I didn't know wtf to do!

I think we all have gone through stares like that to some degree. I don't know what these guys are thinking - IT'S SO DAMN CREEPY!!!

[agpjt413]

. - YIKES re #2

[kateisoptimistic]

Wow you ladies have had some rough dates!

I was in college and dating this guy, he took me to Olive Garden for dinner and we got seated directly next to this other guy that I had been hooking up with the month prior who was also on a date. I was young and totally awkward and tried to pretend he wasn't there but was totally trying to listen to their conversation. my date couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.

[rmpar29]

Two dates come to mind, both from online.

1. Met a guy that had at least a 5-year old pic on his profile and was at least 50 lbs heavier and balding. All he talked about over dinner was how he went to college at Notre Dame and was a 3rd string on the football team. That was at least 10 years before this date occurred. I kept trying to get him talking about the present, but every question went back to Notre Dame. Ugh...

2. Another guy and I were talking online and on the phone for hours before our date. I thought we were really connecting. So, we made plans to meet at Chili's. He calls me the morning off and says that his car wasn't running and could I come pick him up. Sure. So, I get there and he invites me in for a drink before we go. Then asks why we should go to Chili's (20 min away) when he can just get take out from the restaurant downstairs. Ok... So, he grabs a couple chicken quesadillas and some beer in plastic cups (although I had told him I hated beer) and tried to molest me on the couch while watching some really crappy movie. Needless to say, that date ended very abruptly. The next day he kept calling and texting asking why I wasn't talking to him. Oh, and his pic was at least a few years old too.

Why do people (and I say people because I know women do it too) gotta post old pics of themselves on their profile? You really think someone's not going to figure it out when they meet you?

[tkford216]

I can't recall a really awful date, really.

There was one guy I met up with from online who I'm fairly certain was gay and just didn't know it yet. He wanted to meet up at the mall, which was fine. But it felt more like I was shopping around with a girl friend than being on a date.

There was my awkward ice cream date... When I was 19 I was a bank teller and one of our cute regulars asked me out. I figured, I'm new single, let's get my flirt on. He took me to get ice cream on a Saturday afternoon. This was the kind of place where you just get your stuff to go, there was nowhere to sit, so we went back to his place. Literally three minutes in, he tried to kiss me. I had no interest - I mean, let me eat my ice cream, damn it. It was an afternoon ice cream date, not really the kind of date I would expect a makeout session from. And frankly he had bad breath. He tried twice more shortly thereafter. By that point I just wasn't having it, so I put my hand in front of his face and just said "No" while continuing to eat my ice cream. It got very awkward after that...

[mrsoscarfelix]

I am living vicariously through all of you! I started dating my H at 16, so I didn't really date before that.

[mrspipp]

I started going on dates with this guy that I worked with at my on-campus job. On date number 3, I realized that it wasn't going to work out. We had went to lunch, and he was acting very needy. In the car ride back to my apartment, I told him that I thought we should go back to being friends and coworkers instead. He got very angry, pulled over on the side of the road, and told me to get out and walk. I got out, and called a friend to pick me up. He ended up quitting our mutual job because he "couldn't bear to look at me".

I feel like I made a good decision.

[momentomori]

Wow, there are some crazy mother fuckers out there!! I also dated one.
We had been going out for a month or so, and had hooked up. One day while we were in a sweaty romp session on the living room floor, my roommates cat came into the room. He asked me if I had ever let the cat lick a guy's balls while they were fucking me. I stood up, put my pants on, and shoved him out the door. We never talked again.
But a year later, I got a message on Myspace telling me it was the one year anniversary of the last time we had sex. What a creep. At that point I was dating my now husband.

[lycih]

I met a guy who was bartending at a friends frat formal (I went as his date, but just as a friend) and he ended up asking for my number and we planned to go out a couple weeks later.
When he showed up to pick me up, to start with he was about 8 inches shorter than I thought he was (apparently he was standing on an elevated platform behind the bar) and then when we got to Jillians (a Dave and Buster's type place in Boston) a local radio station was airing from the billiards area. Our conversation was awful, and I was planning on bailing after the first game of pool. Randomly, they called us up to the stage for a contest, and asked us "are you here together?" "yes" "ok, for this next [DJ's assistant whispers to him] -- oh. wait. So, for this challenge, you have to be wearing a bra. Are you wearing a bra?" "um.. no..." "Well, no worries, we have another challenge for this lovely young couple! They are going to make out to the next song!!" "wait, wait!!---" dude lunges in for the kiss. On a stage, in front of lots of people, aired on the radio.
effing awkward.

Ugh, thought of another one. Except it wasn't just one date - we actually dated for awhile! Anyway, one summer, we went hiking in Watkins Glen, in the Southern Tier of NY. It's an awesome state park and the place is gorgeous. He took lots of pictures. About a week after we got home, he was showing me the photos and I noticed I looked a little off in all of them, but I couldn't figure out why... then it hit me that he had photoshopped out EVERY SINGLE ONE of my freckles. WTAF?!

We actually stayed together for awhile after that, but when I finally couldn't take it anymore and tried to break up with him, he said no! I was like, we're terrible together! And he shrugged and said, "Who else do you think is going to love you?"

Watkins Glen?  Did you/do you live in the area?  I live outside of Ithaca!

Lol!!! You're AWESOME!!! I can totally visualize you high-fiving his face while finishing your ice cream! LOL!!!!!!

That is messed up. a) Freckles are adorable and should be cherished. b) Asshole.

I don't really, no... Grew up in Albany, and now I'm in Buffalo! Went from one side of the state to the other

Too funny!  I grew up an hour south of Buffalo.

Holy asshole batman!  Freckles are adorable!!  His loss.

[holdingouthope]

OMG. Hands down, first date with a guy in high school (my sophomore year, I think). He told me he loved me on the first date. After he wouldn't detach from my lips for 2 hours and made me miss a Brad Pitt movie. Worst. Date. Ever. The really sad part? I ended up engaged to him (we never got married). We dated on and off for almost 7 years before I got a brain and left him for good. Me = pathetic.

[mrsg80intn]

Mine was when I was younger and went on a blind date (err... internet date)... and he took me to Chili's... where I worked and then proceeded to not tip the server.  He was totally not right in the head.

[mrsg80intn]

OH!  I forgot about this one... I was a summer camp counselor and one of the guy counselors asked me to go to dinner with him and drive to his parents house one night (it wasn't far away)... we went to Chilis (uh, notice a theme here)... and i had their chicken fingers.  I used to have really bad stomach issues and while I wasn't "farting" (No really I wasn't), my tummy was making sounds that made it sound like I was.  Early on in the "date" he mentinoed he could never date a girl that farted (I wonder if he ever got married)... so, needless to say he didn't talk to me the rest of the night or the rest of the summer.

What an idiot. Everybody farts. MH says the day he fell in love was when I asked him to pull my finger.

That is true love!

The date was going great until he casually mentioned that he recently had unprotected sex with someone who had herpes.

OMG. That's the way to win a girl over...!

I'd fall in love too!!

Anyone have a GOOD date story that started at Chili's?! That chain seems to have bad juju!!!

[scrang92]

My bad dates are just the usual bad online kind. Getting to the agreed upon place, and seeing a guy who is about a foot shorter than advertised with way less hair (bald is fine as long as its forewarned) . Or the kind that goes right into how terrible his childhood and life are. Or the kind that talk all about their ex girlfriend(s). Or ones that have a crazy weird walk. Or ones that never call back. Or the doozy, the guy who said he worked at a psychiatrists office and couldn't make it to dinner b/c he called in the wrong prescription and the patient died. Match produces a lot of toads in Los Angeles...now I look back and laugh!
