I was suppose to go on a date with this girl I liked, but then our schedules got messed up, but then she called me back an hour later asking if we could still hit a movie or something.

I agreed, because I liked her and she was incredibly easy to talk to. I go to pick her up and some other being stomps in my car. It's her annoying friend, who's voice is comparable to pterodactyl and had no filter on said mouth.

As I'm driving, they gab on and on, barely ever noticing me. We get to the movie (it's Iron Man II), and they still keep talking about the most inane thing, even though I paid for all of us (which I hadn't expected, since it was only suppose to be two people...).

Finally in our seats, they stop talking for a second, and I try to strike up a conversation of my own before the movie begins. I'm interrupted mid-sentence by "OMG RDJ IS SOOOOOOOO HOT".

My date immediately agrees, and they spend the whole movie talking far too audibly while also talking about what features they like on the main cast member. Definitely a turn off.

And wow, that's not even close to my worst. I'll write even more later!

 

[Tetraeon]

Date showed up literally right after her grandfather's funeral.

 

[Nappuccino]

Worst I had was when a date refused to talk about anything.

"Do you like music?"

"I like some music, but not really."

"Do you like movies?"

"I'll watch them, but no favorites."

"What did you watch recently?"

"I don't remember."

"OK, well, what things do you like?"

"I like big cities."

"Oh, cool, what about them?"

"I don't know, they're just neat and I like going to them."

repeat for 40 more min.

Another that makes me cringe is when I got a date with this really good looking fashion woman. She contacted me as well. It was my first time meeting a girl online and i was a bit nervous. All night she was hinting that she wants to fuck me, even to a point of saying she wants sex. I have no idea why but all of her blatant advances flew over my head because I was so focused on not making an arse of myself. I left with nothing more than a cheek kiss and it suddenly hit me what I had done. So bad. What was wrong with me?!

I feel you. My first notably attractive date went something like that. I was in a Starbucks with her at night and we're having a pretty good time talking about our interests and childhood years. It was one of my first ever dates, so I had little experience with the whole thing plus she was was on the most attractive females in my very large school.

First "worst thing" that happened is that she brought up N64 and suddenly my mental inclusive hermit shell exploded into a nerd extravaganza. I go crazy talking about stuff like Star Fox, Smash Bros., Pokemon Stadium, etc. Luckily, she seemed to receive it all pretty well and even knew each game I was talking about, but by god if I learned to never do that again.

Second "worst thing" was when the date ended. She said, "I had a good time!" and literally stood there staring at me with her adorable eyes and smiles for what felt like a minute and a half. Then, she offered to drive me around town and then home. I was originally going to be picked up from a friend who I was just going to hang with at home. I could have easily called it off with my friend to spend more time with the beautiful girl, but instead...: "I'll drive you around then we'll go home." "No, I'm fine." "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I'm fine! *smiles*" "Are you SURE?" "[Name] I'll be fine. You have a good night." In the moment, I thought it was pretty badass to show my independence by not taking her ride offer...my experienced friends told me the next day what an idiot I was for not accepting. No one knows what would've happened for sure if I had accepted, but the theory I honestly believe makes me hit my head on the desk every time.

I've dated some times since, but never again have been with a girl so attractive and approachable. I'll certainly actively shoot for that type of woman soon once I tune my skills. That date made me obviously nervous as hell and she was still down to get with me for the night. I still think back on that date occasionally. Would've, Could've, Should've.

Hard knock life.

At least in Germany, we have no dating culture comparable to the US.

Damn. That third paragraph hurt. Was that the last time you saw her?

 

[Aesius]

About 4 years ago, I landed a date with a girl on OKC who had very attractive pictures. 9/10 on the looks scale easily. Cool personality to boot.

Well, we decided to meet at a sushi restaurant, and when she walked in, I knew I had been duped. She barely looked like her pictures....she was at least 30-40 lbs heavier than I expected, she was taller than me (I'm 6'...her profile said 5'8"), and she had pretty bad acne :/

None of those are deal breakers on their own, but she obviously misrepresented herself. Despite the differences in pics and real life, she was still attractive, and I was willing to give it a shot.

But as soon as we sat down, I knew I was in for a long night. She wouldn't look at me. She would barely speak to me, and when she did talk, it was this weird combination of sarcasm and extreme nervousness that made it impossible to carry on a conversation. And every 3-4 minutes, she would squawk like a bird. I guess she had some form of Tourette's Syndrome. It was just too much to handle.

I ate as fast as I could, gave her a hug on the way out, and noped the fuck out of there.

Went on a blind date with a girl that a friend of mine said "looks pretty good". She shows up with a decent face but was way bigger than I was expecting. All through out dinner she was saying annoying things and I was trying to hurry things along and be nice at the same time because I wanted to get out there. Drove her back to her car and she kept hinting she wanted me to take her home. On one hand you had me trying to gently ease her out of my truck saying obvious lies like "oh man I'm so tired I think I'm gonna go home and hit the sack" it was like 8:00 PM. Then on the other side she's saying shit like "hey lets go hang out at your place" The whole thing was awkward as fuck but I finally got her to get the hint and get out of my damn truck.

Reading this post in Hank Hill's voice made it a bit more funnier because of the truck.

As for me, it happened last July. It was my first online date in over 1.5 years from Okcupid. Hit up this girl who had a decent face but in her pictures she hid her large body behind carefully taken shots. I thought to myself "she can't be this large in person." Sounded really interesting via the messages too. I was thinking with my penis so I went along with it and met up with her two days after messaging her on a Thursday evening.

Boy was I wrong; when I saw her walk into the bar and come up to me, I wanted to bail out right then and there but I didn't. She was much larger in person and I was losing interest in talking that I kept looking at other women in the bar and the game they were showing on one of the screens; she bored the crap out of me.

She hinted at me that she had a few hours to kill until she had to go meet up with her friend and liked Hispanics. She also downed a bunch of beers versus my one Whiskey Sour which showed me that she must have been thirsty since I raised my brow a bit at that. I caught the hint too well and thought to myself "I'm definitely not sticking around for that." Apparently, there was a thunderstorm so I had to wait until the rain died down to make my exit and would occasionally look out the window for an opening.

My opportunity to bail out came when she excused herself to use the bathroom. I fought so hard against the temptation to bail out that instant and instead texted a good friend of mines that my date was going awful. He suggested that I make out with her. I said it wasn't going to happen

She came back and the conversation resumed. A giant red flag rose when she texted her friend mid conversation causing me to stop mid sentence and examine at her texting. We met up around 6PM; I was out of there by 7:20PM. The rain had died down; I found my exit point. I looked at my watch, told her I'm gonna head out, shook her hand, told her it was nice to meet her, and felt relieved once I got the hell out of there as I left her with her beers and her friend on that table.

As soon as I crossed the street and made my way to the subway, I instantly deleted her number and text messaging history with her. I told my friend I bailed out on her and felt like a million bucks as I got on my train. She never contacted me again after that day as she got the hint; I wasn't interested in her.

If this thread is anything to go by, Gaf members make great dates when they're not misreading intimacy cues. I hoped at least one poster would have a story about how they screwed up their date.

 

[Arkos]

I've said this a million times on GAF, and I'll say it a million more.

Chick I was on a date with farted loudly to the point where the whole restaurant went dead silent.

She turns to them saying, "DA FUCK YA'LL looking at!?"

I wanted to die on the spot.

That sounds like a keeper, don't know what you're talking about

 

[electroshockwave]

That was always a problem for me when I was dating/looking for people.

It seems that telling people that you aren't looking for/don't want sex/do want a serious relationship is like putting a big "Try to seduce me" sign over your head or something.

Sounds great, I should try this out. So, do you tell them straight away that you "don't want sex" or do you slip it into the conversation casually later on?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Sorry I might had confused the names of the places, you get your fancy clothes (suits, t-shirts) to get cleaned and get the wrinkles out. Someone went the same day with the exact set of clothes just 2 sizes bigger, I only found out when I put my clothes on. Yes I out on the oversized clothes and looked like a jackass.

Oh no, I understood that part, I meant this line. "When I went from, the friend was ready at all."

OKCupid date, where the second she first saw me, the look on her face said that if the had an eject switch she would've flipped that thing fast.

No offense, but did you misrepresent yourself in your pictures? Or was it an actual blind date with no pictures exchanged beforehand?

 

[UFRA]

First date with a girl from OK Cupid.

First of all, her pics were not accurate...or they basically showed like her absolute best side. (I should have bailed right here but I'm a nice guy)

So we go to this art museum, but it was like totally shitty and barely anything in it. She offered NOTHING to say about any of the art pieces that were there. I tried to stir up conversation but she had nothing to contribute.

So then I offer to go grab a drink since that failed miserably.

We go to a bar, have a beer, and she barely says anything. Totally boring as hell. Finally I acted like I needed to get going and we parted ways.

 

[peteykirch]

I've had a couple doozies.

The worst was getting ditched halfway through dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. The girl was cold as ice made no effort to converse, no eye contact or anything. She pounds back like 2 cocktails orders a ton of food and then says she has to use the bathroom. Alright but she grabs her coat and purse. I joke about the bathroom not being THAT cold she gives me this odd look and scampers away.

So I sit there and sit there and she doesn't show. The food shows up and still no her. The waitress offered to go in the bathroom to see if she was okay. She goes in and comes back no one is there. She immediately starts apologizing to me about how messed up it is and she ends up taking what she ordered off the bill and wrote her number on it for me as well.

A few data later I get a call from the disappearing girl apologizing that she didn't feel good and wanted to go home. I said all you would've had to do was say so and we would've been good. She wants to meet again so I say fine you drive to me and pay. She laughs saying it's the guys job to wine and dine the woman. I told her no thanks, the waitress gave me her number and I'm going on a date with her. She gets pissed called me all sort of names, bout how she lowered herself to go on a date with me. Yada yada I end up seeing that waitress for nearly two years and had a great time together.

Second story was a bit more recent. Start talking to this girl on OKC she's "seeing" a guy in Scotland they never met just skype and she tells me she likes him but an across the ocean relationship isn't working.

We go out on a date and she shows up late nearly by 2 hours of what we agreed upon. She doesn't put down her phone texting him at all. I end up throwing a 20 on the table and leaving because she refused to take it seriously.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Damn. That third paragraph hurt. Was that the last time you saw her?

I saw her again a couple years ago, actually (since she went to my college for a while). She invited me to her 21st birthday bash and I got there a little late. She was already wasted and the place was crowded, so it was hardly a substantive reunion. I left shortly after while she was doing a conga line. I'd still be down to sit down and catch up with her sometime.

If you're wondering about the post-date. She cancelled what would've been our dance date on me. I was furious in the moment, but it's one of the cases where in retrospect I completely respect her split decision back then and saw where she was coming from. (Though she did it through text, which I didn't respect.)

You really showed her.

Yeah, no kidding.

Sorry, it's this stupid windows 8 tablet, it loves to autocorrect words for something else, even if there's no spelling mistake. I meant to say, when I went to her home, she wasn't ready at all. She forgot we even had a date planned.

Edit: ultimadrago, she sounds like a fun girl.

 

[davepoobond]

It ended up not actually being a date after all.

 

[ncsuDuncan]

My first OkCupid "date" from roughly 4 years ago:

- Despite my dinner suggestions, she wants to meet at a mall. (Okay, fine. It's a public enough place to meet an internet stranger.)
- She brings two guy friends along to the mall, unannounced. (Erm, okay. More internet safety, I guess.)
- The two guys don't find something else to do. They awkwardly follow me and the girl around the mall and join in the conversation where they can. I'm basically interviewing all three people.

If felt like some sort of weird high school date. Even David Wooderson would have felt too old. I was 22 and had just graduated college. She was 20, but I half expected to see her mom pick her up at the mall after we awkwardly parted ways. I got home and immediately changed my OKC filter to "21+ only".

 

[Ultimadrago]

I hoped at least one poster would have a story about how they screwed up their date.

I did.

Edit: ultimadrago, she sounds like a fun girl.

Yeah, she really is. I would love to find another attractive, fun-loving girl to engage with. They won't drop out of trees, so a work in progress!

Reminds me of a time I set a meet up with a girl for which I shared sexual tensions with only for her to bring two guys with her unannounced. And I knew this girl too, it wasn't like I was a stranger. Very trying.

 

[terrisus]

Sounds great, I should try this out. So, do you tell them straight away that you "don't want sex" or do you slip it into the conversation casually later on?

When I was looking for people to date online, I always put it a couple of times in my profile, and would make sure to state it again when talking with someone ("So, you did notice I said in my profile that I'm not going to have sex before I'm married, right?).

The combination of those would tend to scare most people off, but even still it was very annoying how many people would enter a relationship with me with the expectation that they could "get me to change my mind."

EDIT: This was back when I was 15-19 (1998-2002) though, so, your results may vary now.

 

[Moppet13]

Not sure if this counts as a date really

But I was hanging out with my girlfriend of about 9 months, we were in highschool and it was about 3am, we were having a good time and I asked if she was hungry and wanted to get food, we end up agreeing on Dennys and going 50/50 on it because its the only place open and im broke. We order a meal and split it, having a good time laughing and everything and when it came time to pay she refused to. I literally had 3 dollars to my name and a debit card with less than a dollar on it, I tell her I can't pay for it all and that we had agreed to split the cost 50/50. She knew I didn't have the money for it and we both knew she had over $100 in her purse and she refused to pay the other half of our 6 dollar meal. She insisted I put it on my debit card and take the $35 over draft fee. Every bone in my body made me want to tell her I'd be right back and go outside and drive home.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Hung out with a girl at an amusement park during their Halloween theme. (Frightmares)
We talked for 10 minutes about our day, she said she had to go to the bathroom, and never came back. Saw her talking to 3 other dudes later on.

I actually stayed in the park and had a swell time. Hit on some of the employees and got some numbers, joked around at the haunted houses with the scary people, etc. Good times.

So... worst date was actually pretty cool.
I did waste like, $35 on her ticket.
That shit's steep.

Man, that first girl sounds awful. I respect you not taking that crap again from her. Nice twist with you going out with the waitress. Straight out a romcom!

Not much to say about the second one except that I would do the same.

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

Not really a bad date but kind of awful. So get this waitresses number, take her out, we get on like house on fire, great. Organise another date.

She never shows, doesn't answer her phone or anything. So I get hold of her a week later, while driving into town to meet me, she ran over someone, pretty sure killing them as she also wrecked her car.

Yeah ...

 

[Soi-Fong]

It's interesting seeing all these funny scenarios. I just recently broke up with my girlfriend of 5 years about two months ago and still recovering from that, but I have to admit, some of these cheered me up. Lol

"Bill, please."

Shit bro!

My first date at College was with a girl I would consider to be one of the most attractive on my course. Definitely a confidence booster!

This part is gonna sound hard to believe but when the subject came on to gaming she told me she was currenty playing Final Fantasy 8 on her PSP.....

Playing it cool went out the window at that point! D:

It's hard to resist, bro.

I mean, I suppose it's different if she labels herself a "Gamer Gurl" or whatnot. However, in my case, the girl I was out with was a very athletic, popular, social girl. She was "a girl that has played video games" and not "a girl that plays video games." It's an important distinction to remember before going off the walls. And even when it sounds okay, like in your situation, you have to be careful about losing too much cool! lol

Sorry didn't realize that lol

Something just doesn't feel right about abandoning a 16 year old at a Dennys at 3am. Not sure how I got the money to pay for the food anymore. I drove her home and told her to get out of my car and she refused to get out. We spend another minute or so arguing, turns out she did that because 'she thought I was starting to get cheap' which really put me over the edge because her parents make upward of 300K a year and were giving her over $100 a week for simply getting home on time and I still payed for most things. So I told her she had 10 seconds to get out of my car, she still wouldn't get out so I drove back to my house (which was only a little over a half mile away) locked the front door and went to bed.

9 months for that shit, damn. I'd probably just tell her to go fuck herself and walk out.

EDIT: ^^^ awesome.

Have you tried rubbing your balls on their face?
I mean, it doesn't work for everybody, but I've done pretty well with it.

No. They're guys. They'd get sex, I'd feel cheap and I'd still not hear from them again.

 

[Camp Lo]

Met up with a girl at Disney...

...She brought her ex boyfriend to tag along.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Worst one recently is when I tried to pay for the bill at the restaurant, she made a scene and got very angry for not splitting the bill with her. I felt pretty embarrassed.

 

[PaulExcellent]

No. They're guys. They'd get sex, I'd feel cheap and I'd still not hear from them again.

Well, then I wish you the best of luck. Sometimes things are just not meant to be. I'm sure you'll find someone out there. Just don't give up.

 

[Aurongel]

Can't say the actual one I have in mind because my current girlfriend will see it and get pissed.

Anyway, in Junior year of highschool I took a smutty girl to see Alice and Wonderland and she spent the whole movie on her phone with a bunch of other guys. It eventually got so irritating that I started to nod off and daydream about less upsetting things and she kept calling me out for not paying attention to the movie I bought two tickets to. Afterwards when we were at her house, she wanted to fool around and I pretended like my mom texted me asking for an urgent ride and bailed the first chance I got.

It's hard to be attracted to a woman who makes you feel like slime any time you're outside of the bedroom. We split two weeks later.

The one where she seems to have primarily brought me along to hold her stuff while shopping for art supplies. After 25 romantic minutes standing around while she decided what to buy we finally went to have coffee or whatever. Then two of her friends randomly walking through town gate crashed, one of whom hated me. They talked for a few minutes and the one who hated me made it clear that she didn't want me attending a party the group of them were going to the following week.

If this thread is anything to go by, Gaf members make great dates when they're not misreading intimacy cues. I hoped at least one poster would have a story about how they screwed up their date.

Well, misreading intimacy cues is the bane of any person on a date. Everyone misreads once in a while.

My worst date: my date started making racist jokes. I'm a visible minority

So I told her she had 10 seconds to get out of my car, she still wouldn't get out so I drove back to my house (which was only a little over a half mile away) locked the front door and went to bed.

Amazing.

It's hard to resist, bro.

I mean, I suppose it's different if she labels herself a "Gamer Gurl" or whatnot. However, in my case, the girl I was out with was a very athletic, popular, social girl. She was "a girl that has played video games" and not "a girl that plays video games." It's an important distinction to remember before going off the walls. And even when it sounds okay, like in your situation, you have to be careful about losing too much cool! lol

same. this girl did dance, ballet and tons of other stuff to. never expected her to be a gamer let alone JRPGs. (KH too)

soon as she bought it up it was like ding ding ding! never gonna find someone like this again hahahah.

that was far from the reason it didn't work out, however definitely a very valuable experience to take in to the future

My worst went much like the OP's. I took her to a nice restaurant for lunch and we just didn't click at all. I would joke about something and she would go "Really? I didn't know that!" (with complete sincerity), I didn't have the heart to tell her "No, that was a joke" so I just rolled with it. We didn't mention future dates at the end of it, I think we both knew it wasn't happening, haha.

Met up with a girl at Disney...

Ok you win

The one where I tried to finger my date in the back of a movie theater and my fingers, sliding down, clipped and untangled a portion of her bush. She even flinched when the hairs snapped apart. The rest of the night was as awkward as it gets, as I could barely kiss the girl after that. To make it stop, I fabricated the BS excuse that we might get caught. A fake final kiss and a walk of shame as farewell.

Not a bush guy, eh? I would've dived in head first baby! haha

Met up with some girl recently off of OKCupid. She asked me to go with her to some stupid local event, and when I got there she was with a couple of friends. Ok, no big deal. Well, they all but excluded me from the conversation. They eventually wandered off while I was at the bar, so I chugged that drink and got the fuck out of there.
