Awful Dates Only Happen In Movies..?
So I'm sure we've all had our thoughts of "what could go wrong" when you're going out on a date for the first time with someone you don't really know. But usually, things always turn out fine and the only thing that could probably go wrong was that the girl/guy wasn't really interested. However, my first date with this guy went as horrible as I hoped it wouldn't be.
First, we get to the restaurant and once we get to our table we talk for half an hour about nothing. Conversation did not flow, but luckily I can adjust to awkward situations. I was spitting out stupid thoughts to keep it from being quiet. Not to mention I was totally uncomfortable with this guy who I'd been talking to for a few weeks. We finally get our meal and we keep talking about nothing. He starts to laugh and when I ask why he's laughing he replies, "I'm trying to care about what you're saying."
In disbelief that this guy actually just said this, I took it as a joke and replied, "Oh okay. I guess we're done talking about that anymore." Then as the waitress is clearing our table, she drops my plate of food all over my backside, leaving a large portion of my backside wet with my half eaten food. This only happens in movies right? Nope. After he pays the check, he insists we stay a little longer and talk because it's "really early." This is also after I mentioned I couldn't wait to get home to get cleaned up. Eventually he drives me home, and as I'm getting out of the car he says, "I take you out to dinner and don't even get a hug." Shocked that this guy is actually saying this, I gave him a hug & rushed inside. The worst part about it is that I honestly believe he thought everything went fine, other than the food dropping incident. Needless to say, things didn't work out, but not only because of the bad date.
This leads me to my common thought..
Have you ever had an experience similar to this? Has anything worse happened? What happened afterwards?

Wow, that's pretty bad. He sounds like a tool. I've never had any disaster dates, but I've had guys tell me they love me on the first date! That always made me angry, because they know nothing about me and we've only hung out for a couple hours. I always get offended when that happens and also really creeped out.
i had a pretty bad date with one guy. he took me to see toy story with his two best friends. and then he told me all about how he got boners from thinking about me during class and that he gets blue balls because he doesn't jerk off.
didn't end well.
That's horrible.. I can't imagine being in that situation.. My adventurous side would come out and I'd probably say I'm going to the bathroom and leave :-p.
I've never had bad dates though lol. Never really been on a "date" with someone I wasn't with.
Ugh, douche.
Early during my freshman year in college, I'd never been hit on by a guy before, so when an AMAZINGLY ghetto guy asked for mah numba, I was caught by surprise and gave him it.
I grudgingly went on a date with him because I would feel guilty for "leading him on," but it was the worst 30 minutes of my life. I don't know how to describe it, but I've always lived in upper middle class suburbs, and he was so far from being a gentleman with class, it made me more uncomfortable than I've ever been in my life. His eyes were yellow, his teeth were crooked, and he just talked, walked, and acted like a thug.
Glad I know now how to politely reject men I have absolutely no interest in talking to.
@dream_lucidx3@xanga - Lmao, CREEEEEEEEEP. :-/
I've never really encountered anything that bad, aside from sitting through an awful movie. But... that's not too bad. Just my own personal worst. I hope it stays my worst!
My first date was horrible. First the guy complained about how much the movie tickets were, told me if he ever took me on another date that I was going to pay my own way. He didn't want to buy anything to snack on while we were watching the movie. When I got up to use the bathroom and to also get a snack with my own money he refused to hold my seat for me, and called me on my cell phone telling me to hurry up back because he's not holding my seat any longer.
Then he wasn't willing to walk me home at all. Instead, he was going to leave me stranded, and if my mother had not call me to make sure he was taking me home, he would've left me right then and there. But to prove that he was a gentleman (bullshit) he walked me home, asked for a kiss, and that was our last date....And he was my boyfriend...some bf he was.
@my_horizon@xanga - Oh my goodness. The same thing happen to me a few months back. I was walking around the shopping area and this guy runs up and stops me. He worked in the area and tried to be more presentable about him having a job. But he didn't come off as give me your number and I'll give you a call. He was more polite, willing to help me with my bags...But I already knew where it was going so I was going along with it. Then afterwards he asked me for my name, I told him, and then my number which I was a bit hesitant on giving it to him, but gave it to him anyway. Then when he asked me where I lived I refused to tell him and asked him where he lived...And he lived in the worst part of town, he eyes were so freaking yellow, and to be honest he looked like he gets higher than high...I was glad that he never called me and that I never saw him again..
wowww..
i feel kinda lucky. ive never had a bad date.. had some akward pointless conversations like that.. but nothing to that extent.. but hey.. if they were that bad, when you have a good date itll fee like, AWESOME, right?
haha.
that guy was worthless...
The last date I went on...2.5 years ago...was pretty terrible for me. I'm not a talkative person and I get really anxious when I'm put on the spot. I went out with this guy for drinks. The bar we went to was packed because there was a game on. I couldn't really talk anyway b/c it was so loud and crazy. Dude kept asking why I was so quiet...just am...sorry. So he suggests..."let's go see a movie so you don't feel like you have to talk so much." I tried telling him how bad I was at this stuff but he ignored me. We went to the movies then he dropped me off at my car afterwards. Never heard from him again. It was mostly my fault but when I'm put on the spot my mind goes blank and I can't think of anything to say. It's horrible :(
yea as cliche as this sounds "you cant make that sh!t up"
What you should know is that guys get insecure just like women do. I feel (IMHO) he felt that the date was going badly and was acting like a douche to cover for the fact that
a) you will probably never see him again.
b) insecure and uncomfortable himself
I don't understand if you were uncomfortable with him ..you should not have went out with him. Even if it was while you were getting to know him. I know a lot of people ignore their feelings but usually its a sign and you didn't have to oblige him by going out on a bad date.
The last bad date I had. I told him that "obviously we dont click..I think its best we go our separate ways"
I wish they only happened in movies! I went out with this guy and on the very first date, while walking to the restaurant (we weren't even holding hands) he's got a hard-on walking down the street. WTF?! Are you serious?
This was during my young and naive years of being 15. but i was talking to this 19 year old guy i met at the mall (extra sketchy now that i think about it) and we made a date to go to the movies. he was going to bring a friend, and i brought my other friend. as we're in the theatre and get our seats... somehow his friend managed to get everybody to switch seats... but his friend ended up sitting next to me... and i was sitting away from my date. wtf. but yeah, the friend was like "are you scared? cuz i can keep you safe." and i was just like "um, i'm here for john" but then he went to john and were like "we're gonna get food" then left. after time passed, i'm like fuck... they must have left. my supportive friend and i walk out to see them sitting there and we're like wow you guys suck and i yelled at the guy for being a fag. he was even like "i cant buy your ticket." and had me buy my own ticket. i wasn't expecting for him to pay, but it wasn't even mentioned he just blurted it out. i look back and laugh, but i was actually kind of embarrassed :U
oh well, it all worked out in the end because we ended up meeting some really cool people in the mean time. but yeah, bad dates do exist. they're a rare case, but they happen. i'm sorry about the food dropping on you :[
@LifeSux19 - wow, that guy just sounds awful. i have to say that your date was worse than the one the post is about :\
Hmm, I've not had too many "bad" dates, more-so awkward. The one thing that I remember as a bad date is when I went out with this one guy. He SEEMED really cool and down to earth, but at the same time intelligent. On the first [and only] date I discovered that, that was not the case at all. He was so ignorant and just overall a douche! We were inside the mall and we went to Starbucks, where he bought me a Frappuccino [sp]. At one point, he comes behind me and literally tries to brush his hand on my private area from the back and I had to smack his hand away.. I was thinking like seriously? WTF? He left a stained impression. Any-who, with that, I basically told him off in a sort-of-nice way and left the mall with my sisters. Worst date I've ever had. Also, later on, I discovered that this same guy who was trying to date me was supposedly committed and in a relationship with a girl whom he had impregnated before, and currently they have a daughter. So glad that the girl in his life didn't turn out to be me. =]
Be happy he didn't push himself onto you physically. I was on a first date where at the very end of the date (despite our conversation at dinner being incredibly awkward), I was getting out of his car. Sadly, I couldn't figure out how to open his car door (it was a really old pick-up truck). He apparently thought this was cute, so he opened the door for me, and while I was getting out of the car, he attacked my face with his lips. Literally. I fell out of the car, freaking out, and he still insisted on walking me to my door. When we got to the door, he tried to kiss me again (twice actually) ! It was disastrous. I told him that I wasn't interested in him in that way and slammed the door. I felt horrible, but sometimes these things happen.
Wow. Dick.
I went on a date that was bad.. but I don't think it was his fault.. I think he'd never been on a date before.
We met at work, and he was sooooo good looking. I can't even describe it. I was even more psyched when I found out he was interested in me. We set up a date, with plans to eat and watch movies together... he had a lot of new DVDs that he hadn't watched yet, and so I thought it'd be fun to get to know him, have a relaxed meal hanging out at his place and watching a few good movies.
After he picked me up, we went to AutoZone first... for 45 minutes. I went in with him and hung out with him looking at stuff, just to keep him company and enjoy my time with him. It was hard, but I made the best of it.
Then he told me he wasn't really hungry, but would still be up for movies.. so I said, sure. Then he fell asleep half way through the first movie.
I finished the movie... channel surfed for a bit and then woke him up to go home.
He apologized and said he was tired. I spent the rest of the weekend sure that he couldn't stand me and wanted to get out of it as painlessly as possible.
I gave him his space afterwards and didn't put too much effort into trying to talk to him, thinking he hated me and it was all a joke.
Come to find out, he was hurt, thinking that I hated him. He'd had a fun time but wasn't feeling well that day and didn't want to cancel.... hence the sleeping and not eating... and he only squeezed in the AutoZone trip because his elderly father was in need of a certain car part, and the trip was on the way.
If he'd have honest with me, everything would have been fine. I wasn't bitchy to him after.. just quiet. We should have talked after, we both should have done things differently, because we waited so long to get it sorted out that nothing ever picked up again... sadly.
It's been years. He's dated a few people since then, and I was married for a while... but we ran into each other a few weeks ago and he's still so hot (haha..) but he's doing well and he's happy.
My worst first dates:
- girl told me she had depression
- girl wanted to take a photo of us as a couple after half an hour
- girl didn't turn up
- girl licked my ear (with vigour)
This is why I sent up my blog... http://plentymorefishoutofwater.blogspot.com/
That's terrible! Especially when he said, "I'm trying to care about what you're saying." WTF who says that??
I feel for ya.
One time I went out with a guy and he repeatedly tried to tell me that I liked the food he ordered for me when I didn't because it was insanely spicy and me + spices = ...well.. they just don't sit well with me!
As we were walking back to his car, he randomly announced, "Wow! I never realized how tall you are! You're like.. a GIANT!"
...I'm 5'7". I didn't realize that was giant status these days (and he was two inches taller).
as regrettable as it is, I happened to be quite a few girls' bad date...for some reasons, the cat always got my tongue in these kind of settings...a block of wood is probably more interesting to sit through dinner with than me...
@herecomesthemoon@xanga - Yes. It was the worst day of my life. And he had the nerve to say that he had fun and wanted to go back out again. I declined before he could even ask me out on another date.
I'm genuinely shocked at him! How.. Ruudee? I think possibly the worst that's happened to me is that conversation didn't flow... But then I've only been on dates with a few people.
That guy sounds like an asshole. When he asked for a hug, I would have punched him in the face.
