What’s the Worst Thing a Date Has Said to You?

Allison, that cracks me up. I would have been tempted to respond "NOT having sex with your dumb ass."

I had a guy ask me if I had any STDs. That was lovely. Once I assured him that I didn't, he said "OK, cool, so what are you doing next friday?"

Kristi, that might be one of the best "how we met" stories I've ever read!

The worst date I ever had consisted of the guy asking me all about my previous relationship. Somehow the topic of my ex came up when we first met and he must've taken that to mean I wanted to talk about my ex-boyfriend the entire time. He asked why we broke up, how we met, what I liked about him, and on and on. And the worst part is that when I became visibly uncomfortable, he would put his arm around me and say, "Come on, you can tell me!" I was like, dude, we met in a bar..."me" means nothing at this point! Then he started talking about what a great friendship he has with his ex-girlfriend, when really it sounded like he was still in love with her and she had moved on. Prince WTF indeed.

Hmmm, well, I must confess that I haven't really dated much since I've been married all of my adult life (my husband frowns on me dating :-))... BUT, I did something really horrible on a blind date when I was 18. I had waaay too much to drink on an empty stomach and forgot my date's name. I called him Mike all night when his name was NOT Mike. After he decided I needed some food in my stomach, I fell out of the booth at the restaurant and dropped chewed cheesburger from my mouth onto his nice white shirt. He, however, forgave me and we started dating six months later and have now been married for almost 21 years. It was not the beginning I would have chosen but it does show that first impressions are not always the most important ones.

There are not enough characters...probably in the world...to adequately describe my worst date. It started off with the guy showing up 30 minutes late and drenched in sweat. Then, at the restaurant, he didn't have enough money to pay for his meal, let alone mine...yet kept ordering drinks to get me tipsy, which I then had to cover. After sitting with the bartenders for about 2 hours by myself while my date "looked for his wallet," he comes over to ask, "Do you mind if I go home with Katherine?"

While I was delighted to get rid of him, that also meant I took a bus home and walked 5 blocks in heels. UG.

A real keeper.

I'm the lucky one who had a guy ask about my eggs and my parents... in the same date! Seriously, I'm almost 40 - who cares what my parents did for a living?? Let's not forget about the guy who showed up completely hammered for a date and emailed me later to tell me that it was the "worst Internet date ever." (In his defense, he meant that it must've been the worst for ME.) A man also told me I looked like Gregory Peck once, too, though that wasn't on a date. Oh, the stories could go for days. Shall I go on? No, I think not. Most of them are just too unbelievable!
