When I realized that it wasn't a date, it was a job interview for the position of her future husband. Showed up with a written list of almost the exact same kind of questions you have to answer in a job interview, asked in *exactly* the same way as a job interview and got visibly angry when I tried to turn the discussion towards her. Last I heard she'd reluctantly stopped doing this and regularly complains about how men are all either assholes (read: have enough self-respect to leave) or losers with no ambition (read: those who don't).

Went in a date with a guy, he invited me. Now I’m not a “men always need to pay” person. But as he asked me I figured there’s a chance he might. I asked him “what’s best, Do you want to combine our bills and split it evenly? (I’d eaten much cheaper dishes than her had) or did you have another plan?” He looks at me like I’m stupid, flags the waitress and says “two seperate bills, I’ll take mine at the counter” he then asks me to give him a ride back home. I thought maybe he was just awkward or was afraid he’d not have the $ on his card or it may decline so I took him home and we went in. He taught me how to play MAGIC the card game, then his roommate came out of the shower in just a towel. He then takes me into his room because his roommate is walking around junk hanging out, and I see anime girl posters all over. I try to talk about stuff and sit on the foot of his (twin) bed. He tells me to stand up because I may bump something off the bed. I trying to make light of it said “ha ha, I’d figured you’d have prepped your bed to be atleast sat on. How do you manage inviting people over with just a twin bed? You must have to snuggle awful close! (We live in an area where snow storms can happen suddenly and storm stay you)” and he just responds with “uhh. They’d sleep on the couch or floor I guess. Besides. I don’t want people touching my stuffed animals.” THAT I realize is what he didn’t want me to bump off the bed. His stuffed elephant. After more awkward conversation I leave and when I get home he sends me a message saying he didn’t think it would work out or that we should even stay friends because I’m “too sexually charged” and “too forward” and that’s not appealing in a “lady”.

My next date ended up being my husband so win win I guess. 😅

Very short and sweet. I'm a gay man. I'm misanthropic and quite introverted so I prefer to stay home. Going online to get a date was out of my comfort zone. Met a guy on a certain app that rhymes with cinder, he seemed solid enough. We exchanged numbers and decided to meet for drinks. After leaving the bar, he wanted to go somewhere else so I said I would drive from there then drive him back to his car. That was fair. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a baggie that had white powder in it. He tried to bring freaking cocaine into my car. I locked my doors and drove away. I got to a safe location then told him it wasn't going to work out via text and I blocked his number. I immediately unmatched with him on the app.

We were having coffee and chatting away about our interests. After a few minutes she told me she’d just gotten her nails done. She showed them to me and that’s when I saw her a light ring of skin where there was no tan. “Oh no” I thought. She noticed me staring and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not married. He’s just my fiancé and I’m not sure I’m even go through with it.” I said, “I hope you two can work things out” and left.

Made the mistake of telling her I once lived in Canada for 2 years. 2015 to 2017. She yelled at me for not loving Australia enough then said we wouldn’t work out because she can’t trust I won’t move back permanently. It was a work visa that couldn’t be extended lol

Lmao, "Sorry I'm late, but I'm always late." Got me for some reason. Maybe its the awareness but simultaneous lack of awareness 😂😂

My worse date with my ex was actually our last one. My dad was mad at me for not cleaning up my room, and in the middle of his tirade, my ex shows up. He was a genuinely sweet guy, and I knew he wouldn't judge me for my dad's actions, but I still felt incredibly embarrassed, and I was crying practically our entire date. We never talked during it, and I had a sneaking suspicion that this was going to be our last date, and I was right.

You leave me to eat in garage alone? I'm eating the dinner, gonna Uber home 😅. Let's never meet again.

We met up for dinner where awkward conversation turned to the realization my date wasn't quite playing with a full deck. He began to regale me with stories of his dad being an alien and coming to earth in his own ship. He was willing to take me to the ship and show me. Of course, it was several hours away in the middle of nowhere. As soon as I realized he wasn't joking, I thanked him for dinner and never saw him again. Maybe he left in a spaceship? 😆

This is one of the reasons I have stayed away from dating sites, people lie about their age, how the look, or worse. Plus I won't have to worry about the nagging thought if I was the bad date or were they.

Spring of my senior year. Blond guy with nice brown eyes (I'm a sucker for brown eyes; what can I say) came in to the restaurant where I worked as a waitress and asked me out. He seemed nice enough and was surrounded by a group of seemingly nice regulars, so I thought, "What the heck, why not?" So I agreed.
He had me pick him up, then directed me to drive us to this spot out in the woods; was thinking that we'd 'frick' (to use reddit vernacular) right then and there. I told him I needed to get something out of the car, then drove myself home.
The best part? The idiot asked me out AGAIN! He routinely came in with a group of 5-6 in a posse, so when he asked me again, on front of all of them, I said, "I'm busy." He stupidly asked, "Doing what?" I answered, "I'll think of something."
For all the young and old men out there. Waitresses look pretty and are nice to you as part of our JOB and for TIPS. We are not looking for dates while on the JOB!!! (most of us, that is). KNOCK IT OFF!!

For me, I had a random add on facebook from a girl who didn't live too far away. We were talking for a few days and she asked if I wanted to meet up. I said sure and that I'd pick her up.
I noticed a few minor warning signs - She didn't seem too hygeinic... Like her water bottle looked grubby, and she seemed to have the same clothes on in every picture. And the same clothes when I met her.
I thought maybe she was a little skint for cash, but decided to ignore it.
When I dropped her off, she asked if I wanted to come inside...
I entered her home and it was filthy. I'm talking 1700s style filthy. The walls were black, the carpet was thick with cat hair. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in decades. The smell was putrid cat piss and feces.
It was one of the most horrifying experiences of my life. I said I was feeling unwell and should leave as I didn't want her to catch anything from me. Needless to say I never responded to any messages again.

I shouldn't watch videos like this. It's like a person who's afraid of flying watching airline disasters.

It was our first date and we’re walking along and he suddenly said I gotta pee, then whipped it out and..peed. He really must have needed to pee right? We both went to the bathroom before we left. I found it extremely weird and called the date off.

My mother set me up on a blind date with the guy who had repaired their refrigerator. According to Mom, he'd seen my and my siblings' high school graduation pictures, and he had been interested in meeting my sister. My mother told him my sister was married (true) but that I wasn't, so she called me and asked me if I'd be interested in a date. Okay, it'd been years since I'd gone out, so I was interested. Met up with him at a local restaurant. I didn't care that he was older than me by about a decade and that I could see right over his bald head. But what I did care about was that he made no secret of the fact that he was simply looking for a physical relationship, which I was absolutely not looking for. We went out twice, and our second date ended with an argument about the fact that I wasn't looking for a physical relationship. Finally I told him we shouldn't see each other again, and that was it.

16:53 this is the most disgusting one yet if men did this they would call them looser freaks and try to call the cops!! Men should start calling the cops on women for doing crazy shit

[bangablesnowbeast]

Went to see the first Hobbit when it came out. She brought a friend and demanded I pay for her and her friend's tickets AND buy them both snacks (I refused). THEN she kept ignoring the fact that I was pretty much done after the whole ticket and snack thing and insist I go clubbing with her and her friend (the reason said friend tagged along). Bowed out with the feeling she only wanted me to be her ATM for the night.

[Killermouse]

we were sitting on a bench outside the public library waiting for my mom to pick us up (this was in high school) after going on a date to the Santa's village type thing the city put on every year, and he started to, completely seriously, sing Christmas songs in a way I can only describe as opera but probably better described as just a highschool theater kid. We were away from the Santa's village set up, sitting alone on a bench at night. I texted my mom to please hurry.

It's stories like this that make me wonder how the human race got up to 8 billion.

Met her she was wearing scruffy clothes went to an empty pub where the bar maid turned out to be an old friend of hers. I bought drinks and left them talking, after a minute or so I should've called time on the date but I sat at a table alone for about 15 minutes. To my shame I toughed it out and later followed up to see about a second date, there would not be one. I knew she wasn't over her last partner she didn't hide it but I was in a lonely part of my life then so you do desperate stuff sometimes.
