Worst I ever had was a second date.

Date went well, extremely well (at least I thought.)

I go to walk her to her apartment to find her ex-boyfriend waiting for her outside of her apartment door (the whole sitting on the floor, reading a magazine, been there a while waiting.)

By the end of the night she was listed in a relationship on Facebook, and it wasn't with me.

One in high school where the guy who set this girl and I up didn't spill all the details.
I get to her house, and the girl is finishing the arrangements with her mom about watching her child for the evening. That pretty well freaked high-school me out for the evening.


I just...............what?

My worst one came a year after college. I went on a double date with a buddy and his gf back in Ames one weekend. Me and this girl had a great time. She was extremely beautiful. We ended up going to her place leaving my friend at the bar with his gf.

Back at her place I didn't notice anything different at all. We headed to the bedroom and had a great time. We get done put some cloths on and fell asleep. I then wake up at suddenly at 5 am. Apparently she has a 3 year old son that climbed into bed with us and couldn't control his bladder. She apologized and felt terrible.

I didn't return any calls.

A year or two later my same friend invited me on another double date. He was dating someone different and I agreed again. Somehow my date was with the same damn girl and he didn't realize it. I didn't stick around for the whole date.

Thankfully I met my wife shortly after this.

"And he just kept rambling about the Liberty bowl over and over."

Haha. I did have a charmed life...for sausage Fest university, I generally dated way out of my league. Instead of chatting in sports boards, I was getting busy at the Cave Inn. (For those of you that don't get that, I am mocking myself. )
That Liberty Bowl really sucked too.....I mean we got dominated by Tulsa....Not just dominated, we had a team of 100 or so scholarshiip atheletes just give up....after all those precious extra weeks of practice we hear so much about. Feel free to bump this thread next November.

I had met this gal at dance club in Omaha one weekend while still going to ISU back in the day. Thought she was the one. Well.... taking it slow the first couple of dates when I thought it was time to stretch a double into a triple, she goes "I have to tell you something...." I was waiting for I have a kid or I'm still a virgin yet.... but that something was called Herpes. So i just calmly and quickly made an excuse to leave and never called her back. Just did not want to get the gift that keeps on giving.

Mine was our first official date, we were supposed to go to west desmoines for dinner and drinks after. She was having lunch with her out of town friend who came to town late so they decided to go shopping and have dinner, annoying but I was happy to still go out with her for drinks after her friend left. Needless to say by the time I picked her up they had been day drinking since 1 and she was slurring her speech. First date=last date especially since for the next couple weeks after when we'd talk she was hammered.

She was brave to tell you.

A family member got it from her husband. He didn't have it when they got married. It was difficult for her after she dumped him, dating-wise. It's really tough to tell a guy that...even if it wasn't because you were promiscuous.

Never been on a real date in my life. Knew my wife since we were kids and I guess the first few times we 'went out' was at high school parties and what not. Can't even remember the first time we went on a date or went out to eat. Ended up getting married so I guess I've never been on a date.

...not horrible dates, but let's just say that inter web dating is a quick way to find out just how much people can fabricate their likes, personalities, etc. enough to make it very awkward when they're nothing like what they say.

It's why Facebook is evil too, but that's for another thread.

I suppose I took a positive that one woman was 'cultured' when one of the first things she said to me was something like 'you're not going to roofie (SP?) my water, are you?'

I was drinking beer, and continued to do so when the conversation revolved around her awareness of all the different drugs people were on in the venue. I gladly went home alone as 'the one who's been drinking'.

Not really a date, and it's more funny than "bad", but when I was a poor kid just out of college, a friend and I got a group house and needed a couple randoms to split the rent. I was out of town for a few days when we were doing a roommate search, and my friend called to say he'd found someone who he thought would be a good fit and was ready to move in that weekend. This was all pre-smart phone so it's not like he could send me many details about the person, but I trusted his judgment and said "okay".

I got back on a Sunday night, but nobody was home at the house when I got there, so I decided to head to a bar that was a few blocks away. I had never had any luck meeting girls at a bar by myself (and still haven't to this day), but this night, there was an absolutely gorgeous woman all alone and I decided to go for it. We hit it off very well (she'd had a couple margaritas by the time I arrived, which probably helped), and after a few hours of truly great conversation, she suggested that I "walk her home"...in a manner that clearly meant she was interested in more than just being escorted. Heck. Yes.

We pay our tabs, and head out the door. The conversation continued while we walked, and being slightly inebriated, I wasn't paying too much attention to our surroundings. At some point, the thought of "hey, I also live down this street" crossed my mind, but it wasn't until a half-block from my house that a much more startling thought crept in. I stopped in my tracks, said her name, and asked "um...where exactly do you live? What's your address?". Of course...it was the same address as mine. I'd met my new roommate.

For a split second, the devil on my shoulder almost convinced me to shrug it off...I could tell her in the morning, I thought. But my better nature took hold, and I said "look, this is totally awkward, but I'm actually one of your roommates. I'd heard that you would be moving in this weekend but as you know I've been out of town." She immediately turned beet red, started talking about how embarrassed she was, and how obviously nothing was going to happen because of "boundaries". Of course, I completely agreed with her (at least externally), but the following year of being sexually frustrated roommates was one of the most agonizing experiences of my life!

Nothing too crazy but a couple of embarrassing moments in the early dating stages with my current fiance when we were at ISU together:

-First Valentine's day together, we had only known eachother for a few weeks. I was trying to impress her with something romantic, so I got a dozen roses and hid them behind one of the trees on the walkway that goes behind Lake LaVerne. Ended up picking her up at her dorm at Friley and told her I had a surprise for her and that we had to go on a walk to find it. Ended up doing the whole "you're getting warmer/colder" bit once we got close to LaVerne. In doing so, I accidentally had her look behind the wrong tree, but panicked and thought somebody had taken the flowers so tried to play it off like I had a different surprise for her by giving her an awkward kiss. Ended up realizing the flowers were still behind the tree further down the path, but it was pretty embarrassing.

-A few weeks later, we walked around the campus at night and I was trying to surprise her by Campaniling at midnight. Ended up losing track of time a little bit and the bells went off when we were walking by Catt Hall (not really that close). We ending up "campaniling" at that spot, but luckily I redeemed myself a few other times later when we were there.

Long story short, just because you screw up early on doesn't mean you can't recover :rolleyes:

I think this falls in the every day is a date category.:smile:

I had a thread like this a few summers ago.

A girl I was dating in high school was doing that with me in the basement. Her dad came home and she said, keep your pants down, I want to finish, and threw a blanket over. He'd usually come down, say hello then go upstairs. He came down and said "Pantsy, I need you to move your car, it's blocking me from getting in the garage." Then he just stood there waiting. And she did NOTHING to help get him to leave so I could pull up.

Are you gonna finish or what?

similar here. Started dating husband in high school, no really terrible date stories. However, BFF did online dating and one of the guys she dated for a while had a great story about his online dating experiences.

He went on a couple dates with a girl and one of them was just them watching a movie at his place. He noticed that she kept trying to "nibble" on him - neck, hands, whatever but just thought that was her thing. Driving her home, he noticed she was like......hiding from the window. He kept trying to get her to explain and she wouldn't give a straight answer. Finally she said "it's a full moon". He's like, yeah, so? She said that she's a "Lycan", so she can't be in the moonlight.

She was claiming to be a werewolf. Told him all about her "clan". That was the last date though he said the nibbling thing made a lot more sense.
