People Share Their Worst Dates Ever, And Some Really Dodged A Bullet (30 Posts)

Talked for a few weeks on tinder and seemed like a nice guy. False! We met for drinks but when I showed up he was already sitting down eating (I wasn’t late we were only meeting for a drink). He realized he “forgot” his credit card so I paid for his dinner and two bags of leftovers from BEFORE I GOT THERE. I never spoke to him again.

Another date I dodged bullet but it’s too good not to tell. I had been talking to a guy a couple weeks until we were able to meet up. I travel for work which I had talked about with him on multiple occasions. Our set date was a night I was traveling home from but my flight was delayed and I wouldn’t have been home until midnight on a weekday. I told him I’d have to make it another time but he flipped out and told me he’d rather not meet up with a flake and that there are plenty of other flights I could take to meet him. His anger was a huge red flag . The next day I met up with some gfs at a bar we had planned awhile back. I had told him the week before about my girls night plans and our favorite spot. I get there with my friends and a little while into us hanging out.. dude walks in with a date and beeline’s it for seating next to me and gives me a wink. I dodged a bullet never meeting this guy for our date.

I used some savings for a nice dinner out bc I wanted to treat him…

When we get there .. not even 10 min settled in
He’s complaining that the place sucks,
He hasn’t been to the gym and shouldn’t be eating that much,
That the people working there are weird- looking,
That i should not have wasted time and money,

I cried in the car omw back.

We met at a bar one night when we both happened to not be drinking. I had a busy day the next day … idk his reason. He asked for my number like an adult and the next day after texting a bit he asked me to dinner the following night. Cute, sure.

I walked in, wearing a semi see through top with a camisole under it and he said something like, “I wish you weren’t wearing that shirt underneath.” Ooookay weirdo but maybe you’re nervous… he negged me several times and eventually asked me if my mom was hot. He proceeded to make several weird innuendos.

I excused myself to the bathroom and told the hostess not to tell the guy that I left. I skee-daddled to my car and drove to my friends’ house (all dude roommates, college town btw) and chilled there for 20 minutes until I was confident he didn’t follow me.

One time I went on a date where the guy played games the entire time on the little table top register thing some restaurants have.

I asked a coworker out. She believed the man should take charge in everything in the relationship. She made me pick the restaurant, pick her up and drive her, order for her, carry the conversation, pay the bill, drive her home, the whole time acting disinterested in everything I said. I texted her I didn't think we would work out and she sent back "I had a lot of fun what do you mean?".

He picked me up in a convertible that had the price written on the window in marker and all kinds of papers on it. I lived in a student dorm; he came to my door and left the car with the music blasting so everyone saw us leave. We had ice cream and went to see a movie. He left me at the movie theater and disappeared for about 30 minutes. He came back, we watched a movie, and then went to leave. No car was outside. He said it wasn’t his and he had to return it. He took it for a test drive from a dealership. But he said he can take me back on the handlebars of his bike. We did that, with stops cause he was out of breath. Then he dropped me off a couple of blocks from the dorm “cause you don’t want your friends to see.” We had to see each other at work all summer but we just looked the other way. I was 19.

He was more than three hours late, and was texting me telling me that he was 20 minutes away for two of those hours. As soon as he arrived he tried to tell me to leave the part of the venue/dive bar I'd already paid in to so we could go where he wanted, tried to start a fight with a friend I'd happened to run into, and called my aunt (who'd talked me into going out with him in the first place) a "cockblocking b***h".

I just walked away from him after that last one, and we never spoke again.

--I waited so long because I liked the bands that were playing. I wouldn't have stayed if I was sitting around doing nothing. He got there just before the last band finished, but I'd had about enough of him by then because he'd been telling me that he was on the train in the same place for two hours. We don't live out in the middle of nowhere and he could have easily gotten a bus or tram the rest of the way in that time if there was a problem with the train. He never gave me a proper excuse but I didn't really care at that point.

The second day I went on with this girl, she basically spent the entire date aggressively complaining about her co-workers. She came off as the biggest b***h in the world. She didn't come off great on the first day but it was the first date I had had in a while. But the second date that was all she talked about. No empathy, no compassion. Just "f**k these people". Didn't really ask me about anything. Just complained about her co-workers.

She talked about her cat the whole time, didn't ask a thing about me. I didn't learn a thing about her other than she has a cat. I'm highly allergic to cats.

He was three hours late. Talked about his band the whole time. Then his car ran out of petrol and we had to wait for the rac to get us.
