Awkward/Fail dates

(Anonymous) 2012-12-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I just got back from a really terrible date f!s. I met this guy online and we started chatting and finally decided to meet today morning for some coffee. Anyway, he ended up being super sexist and when I called him out on his bullshit he started using the "but it's my culture!" excuses. He also apparently has a boner for small Asian girls which creeped me out. Anyway we talked and by the end he told me that he felt like he was changing me. I ran out as fast as a mother fucker and deleted his number on my phone.

Any fail dates f!s?

So there was this guy I met while working at Barnes and Noble. He seemed pretty cool, and despite having been warned by fellow coworkers that taking customers who ask you out up on it was a bad idea, I said yes. The date went pretty okay for a while, then we started talking about my major (which he felt he knew better than me about [spoiler = he didn't]), about religion (WTH) and how I didn't believe in god ("We'll have to work on that", said he. FIRST DATE, may I remind you) and then we left the restaurant, and he was all handsy even while my body language was pretty clearly saying "nope. nope. nope". And then...well, since we were in the parking lot, and he was the one who'd driven us there (MISTAKE), he was like, "How about a kiss?" and I was like sure, whatever, mostly because I wanted to get the hell out of there and didn't want him to make a scene about it. Then he drove me home, and I started to have a panic attack, and when I tried to get out he was like, "No, stay and talk to meeee", and called me a baby for wanting to go inside, but I was like whatever, I'm not comfortable with this, and bailed.

Needless to say I did not return his calls. But! here's why you don't go out with customers when you work retail: he came by the store a couple more times and I had to make concentrated efforts to dodge him.

Went to a chinese all you can eat place with a date (her suggestion damn it!).

They told me their food was free of ingredients I was intolerant too. It wasn't.

I spent forty minutes of the date simultaneously emptying my bowls, and throwing up. When we went to leave right afterwards, as I'd given my date some petty excuse for why I was gone for forty minutes, which I'm honestly amazed she stayed around for - the owner tried to charge a surcharge for not finishing my plate.

I adamantly refused, we got into a heated argument which given I'm two meters, and he was a tiny sub five foot asian guy, looked more then a little terrible on my part, and I stormed out without paying.

My date stuck around and footed the bill, despite my protests it was the principle damn it, and I could more then pay that's not the question.

I actually got a second date, which should have screamed 'abort abort abort'.

Wait... I get that the date itself went terribly, but the girl you dated waited for you and footed the bill. What was bad about her?

Re: Awkward/Fail dates

Yeah, I was wondering that too.

Why did you give her petty excuses? What was wrong with telling her you were were in the loo because you had reactions to the food which you were told didn't have the things you weren't tolerant of?

Horrible stomach problems are embarrassing, especially around someone you're trying to impress!

DA

I...guess? I normally just explain, and apologize - and change the subject. So far it hasn't really impacted the dates I went on [at least, judging by the fact there was usually another date after that.]

I don't know about you but I'd rather associate with a polite honest man than a polite liar who tries to maintain a ~perfect~ image of themselves.

It was the first date. You don't have to share your bodily functions on the first date.

by the end he told me that he felt like he was changing me.

Oh, man. I'm glad you bailed then, because that's just the point of no return, right there. I mean... damn.

The worst date I ever went on was way back when I was 11 or 12 - the problem was that I was just way too young to date. I also wasn't into the guy, but he had a crush on me and I felt bad about turning him down. (I'd never been asked out before, so I had no idea how to say no.) My parents just thought it was adorable. The whole thing was awkward and we barely spoke through the whole thing.

My first blind date. My sister set me up to go bowling with him and her league group. So it was kinda a group thing with he and I at a table off to the side.

I was feeling a little self-conscious because I hadn't had a chance to do laundry, so I was in jeans (that probably could have used a wash) and one of my less-nice blouses. I countered this feeling by wearing makeup (something I don't do often).

Then he walked in with ratty torn jeans, a Hard Rock Cafe tshirt with the sleeves cut off and numerous stains, and no idea when his last shave/trim was. He spent the evening talking about the Beatles (not a fan myself), and how he got all of his tattoos on discount because the tattooist had made some tiny mistake (that he had to point out and I had to have my nose three inches from his bicep to see) and he argued them into a discount.

At the end of the date, he said he was glad to have met me, but he didn't want to lead me on. See, he's still married. They're seperated, but the divorce isn't final (mostly because the divorce hasn't started, and they're thinking of getting back together). He was just kinda hoping for a booty call to tide him over until he gets back together with his wife. And he thinks I'm nice, but there's no chemistry so he doesn't want the booty call after all.

FYI, this was also my last blind date. (And no, my sister had no clue about the wife. He was a friend of a friend, or something like that.)

By the time I picked my jaw up off the floor, he was off saying his goodbyes to the group. Apparently he mentioned his wife, because my sister then ran over to me apologizing about this mess, and she didn't really know him that well, and she would NEVER have set up this date if she'd known he was married.
