    Feeling a bit low after a date last weekend :(
    This guy spent half the time ignoring me on his iPad, didn't offer so much as a hug or a holding of hands, fell asleep in the car when we went for a drive,....talk about repeated rejection! So disappointed that I wasted a beautiful sunny day with somone who hadn't even the good grace to be good company. Also a bit confused as he'd arranged the date himself!
    What was your worst date? What became of you or them, years later?

    I had liked someone who was temporarily in my job to complete a project and was delighted when he asked me out before he left. He picked me up and straight away I knew he was ill, he was grey around the gills and his eyes were bloodshot, but he told me he was good to go and was looking forward to it too much to cancel.

    Poor guy, by the time we sat down to dinner he was shivering, and I was insisting we abandon ship so he could go home to bed, but no, he kept insisting he was fine. He couldn't eat, could barely talk, was shivering away and looked whiter and whiter as the minutes ticked by. I was getting more and more uncomfortable and worried and eventually just refused to stay another minute.

    I stood up and so did he, and he literally buckled at the knee. Anyway fast forwards two hours and he's in hospital after an ambulance ride, with pneumonia and a 'flu infection, a temperature of 103, and no one who knows him in my city. I had to pack up his belongings at his hotel, keep them at mine, buy him pjs and slippers for hospital, visit him daily for the 3 days he was in with whatever he needed, and take his mum to him when she arrived to take over on day two.

    By the time he went back we were getting along great but there was no romance in that situation but I gained a friend anyway :).

    Where do I start? My favourite one is not just one date, it’s a string of meetings. So I met this guy once and he talked me into a date. Then he calls me a day before if he should bring two motorbike helmets. I said why and he responds that usually girls, when they hear he has a bike, want to go for a ride. I flatly refused. I survived the date and couple more until I decided that he really is an idiot. Unfairly and stupidly I gave him it’s me not you speech. I did have couple of issues to resolve at the time but it wouldn’t be him if he was the last man on the planet.

    I met him again a year or two later. He wanted to go for a drink or a coffee and I was clear from the beginning it is not a date. (I would go for a drink or a coffee often with customers, friends or whomever, male or female. It’s part of a culture that doesn’t translate that well into Ireland but it would mean absolutely nothing.) He actually jumped out of car when he saw me stopping behind him at the traffic lights so I didn't have much choice unless I wanted to cause traffic jam. Anyway when we were sitting down he started asking me wouldn't I at least sleep with him if I don’t want to date. I answered no, he asked me if I’m sure, I said yes and so on. Then he proceeds with you know I have and arrangement with my neighbor that when she washes my car for me I have mercy **** with her. I don’t know if he wanted to impress me, to inspire me or to make me jealous but I at that stage I had enough being polite and I left.

    Anyway I met him again in a bank waiting in line so I couldn't avoid him. I told him that I am with someone and that I’m moving to Ireland to be with him and the next sentence was: so would you grab a coffee?... :D

    As for what he is doing, I presume whatever he was doing before. He was a painter with very good opinion of himself. He found a way of painting that enabled very quick output of paintings and he flogged them everywhere. My parents have some of his work, I never overly liked them but my bf thinks they are kind of cool. Maybe he still has the same girl washing the car for him.

    Guy watching a football match over my shoulder and pretending he wasn't!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭jandm


    Blind date arranged through an intermediary - we spoke on phone to arrange the meeting - said he was 6ft tall... I'm a taller than average woman but nowhere near 6ft but at the appointed time and place I heard my name and had to look down :-D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 273 ✭✭lavinia hathaway


    A coffee with a guy who announced that violence was ok as how else could people get their way? As for where he is now, I have no clue as I beat a hasty retreat and thankfully never saw him again!!

    Was messaging a guy on POF for a while- seemed really sound, fun, romantic, lightly flirty but not cringy messages- we duly arranged to meet in a nice pub of my choosing...

    Met, went to the bar, made slightly awkward conversation as you do before you get sitting down comfortably.

    Him (looking around): This is an interesting place. Seems full of hipsters though, is it a real hipster place?
    Me: Don't actually know, tbh, I haven't been in of an evening before.
    Him: I f*king hate hipsters. Think they should die.
    Me (somewhat taken aback): Erm, well...
    Him (accusingly): Are you a hipster?
    Me: No! Why?
    Him: Eh, you're wearing a CARDIGAN?

    Let it suffice to say I was not his usual type, nor was he mine. It was the worst car crash of a date I've ever been on, however at some point we crossed the line into drunk enough to have grand, if rather bizarre craic! Although odd, laddish beyond belief and entirely lacking in social graces, he was refreshingly HIMSELF and we did get on in a sort of piss-taking way once I got over the shock of how different he was from the gentleman of his messages.

    Not a hint of a kiss though- I put him on a bus home plastered, went home fairly disappointed as I sobered up...and got a message from him the next day to suggest that for our "next" date we break into a park and have sex.

    I never saw him again.

    Great looking guy though, shame really!

    A guy who started off our date, after the 'Hi, how are you, nice evening' stuff with (honestly) "Have you ever considered suicide yourself?"

    Then, because I was going through a stupid patch, I harrassed him by text message for weeks afterwards and *I* came across like the mental one. I'm probably high up on his worst ever date list!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 677 ✭✭✭CarMe


    A few weeks ago.

    We had been on a couple of dates and we went out to dun laoire one Sunday and walking along the pier he kept saying what an amazing time he was having and how well we clicked, when I was feeling the complete opposite!

    I was people watching and guessing if people were married or on their first date etc but he didn't get that at ALL just kept saying saying things like "but who are we to judge" wtf?! Nobody was judging anyone I was just playing an innocent little observational game!

    Anyway, I really wasn't feeling it anymore so I led us over to a quiet area and we sat down, I started explaining that I didn't really think that we clicked and he started crying and asking was I breaking up with him, I said no because we weren't together but you're a really lovely guy, it's just a matter of chemistry! He asked was I not attracted to him, was it because of where he's from, because I had met a friend for coffee the night before, because he was boring, because he was too nice, asking was there someone else etc, to which I explained No, you're lovely we just don't click. He asked what he was going to do, that every other girl is a weirdo and I said "but sure, I'm a weirdo" and he said "but you're MY weirdo!"

    After about 45mins of being really really nice I getting a bit pissed off and said look it's not the end of the world, it's not the biggest deal then he started shouting "what the fcuk was all this bullsh!t?!" Taking out his phone and rifling through it for mildly flirty texts I had sent him before, reading them out loud with people walking by!! I stood up now and said right I'm going to get the dart home and he grabbed me really scarily and said he was driving me home. I said okay but you needn't start snapping at me, I've been as nice and honest as I can! On the way to the car park he shouted "I'M NEVER COMING TO DUN LAOIRE AGAIN!!!" and when he started the engine "The power of love" came on and he punched the radio and said "I can't listen to this!!"
    Then on the drive home (why Oh why didn't I get the dart!) He started driving like a maniac and going up on the path asking is it because he didn't drive like a bad boy!

    Single most awful experience of my dating life!!

    Holy crap CarMe!

    And some people think it's women that cause drama!

    I love the Power Of Love bit though, oooh the irony is delicious :).

    I can see it now....

    Him: Is it 'cos I'm not a bad boy?

    CarMe: No, it's 'cos you're a tool. :P

    Ah that's nice :) We laugh about it now, but I was terrified something terrible was wrong with him and was so relieved when it was all treatable run of the mill (though miserable) stuff. He's been a seriously great help with some academic stuff over the last year or so, so I've gained more than I gave.

    You would have to be seriously inhuman to not help someone alone and sick in hospital though, so I won't take any credit for that.:)

    This was a date I had about four years ago and I still get a pain in my face from laughing at the sheer ludicrousness of it. :D He was a bell end and a nut job and I honestly wondered for a moment if I was on some hidden camera show.

    Rather than write out what happened, I'll just copy the email I sent to a friend the morning after.

    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Set the scene. Yesterday evening. The Bailey @ 7pm. I was running fifteen minutes late. Date ended at 7.49pm. So [/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I broke the world record for the world's shortest and most bizarre date last night because (drumroll):[/FONT]


    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He was completely and utterly socially inept[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I think he may have had quite severe Aspergers[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He kept scratching his balls (not discreetly, I mean big, expansive sweeps of his evidently itchy undercarriage)[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He got emotional when he said he never got past a third date with people - "what is WRONG with meeeeeeeeeee?" Please tell me, what is wrong????[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He told me he may have a third date with a girl but she is away in Limerick a lot and will have to see how it goes, what did I think?[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He kept ringing his hands asking why girls "don't do anything more than kiss" on dates and would I have sex on a first date if I really liked someone.[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He asked me to tell him honestly why he never got past third dates[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He "accused" me of flirting outrageously with my male work colleagues when I was telling him a story.[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]He admitted to having a "happy ending" Thai massage in Sandyford as often as is possible, once a week because "it's needed, I just really reeeeeally need it".[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]His work is interfering with his personal life[/FONT]
    • [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]AND AND AND he told me after fifteen minutes he had to shoot off as he forgot he had to do something.[/FONT]
    Can't wait to see him again, I really think we clicked :)

    Lolers - still makes me laugh when I think of it.

    I won't go into the details of the worst date, but will share the second worse with you instead. I was quite good friends with someone, and we're both very chatty. He'd hinted once or twice about asking me out, and eventually we agreed to go on a formal "date". Bear in mind, it wasn't unusual for us to go out for dinner before this. We met at a restaurant in Dublin city centre, and everything was immediately awkward.

    We sat there, not speaking. The waitress came along and asked if we'd like to hear the specials. Both of us jumped on the opportunity for something to break the ice, so we spent about 5-10 minutes quizzing the poor waitress on the menu (thankfully the place was quiet). She left, we stopped talking. Both of us become extremely interested in the wine menu. Every now and then, one of us would say something, but it was pretty rare.

    Towards the end of the meal, we both received texts from a friend saying everyone was in a certain pub. We both leapt at the chance. We went to the pub, sat beside each other, but talked to anyone else in the world possible.

    Next day it was already arranged for him to come over to my place with a few others. Decided that I'd tell him it wasn't working when he arrived. Before I got to say anything, he told me he'd had some very bad news, so I didn't feel I could say anything then.

    He crashed over in my place that night, and the next morning, still not talking, we went for breakfast. And continued to not talk. I drove him home, still not talking. Pulled up in his driveway and decided bad news or not, I had to say something. So I did. Thankfully he felt exactly the same. We both started talking again and sat in my car, in his driveway, for about 2 hours, nattering away 19 to the dozen.

    We're still good friends, still see each other regularly, and we're still talking away.:pac:

    (Weird - I initially hit reply, hit post, and this entire post then showed up in the long term illness forum - oops!)

    This was about 7 years ago.

    I met a guy online who said he was a banker. At the time bankers didn't have the reputation they have now.

    We arranged to meet in the Banker pub in town and I was waiting there for about 15 minutes when I got a text "Where are you?" It turned out he was in the Bank pub. Like an eejit I went there and he was sitting in the corner with a face on. I tried to make light of the situation and then the questions started.

    "What EXACTLY do you do for a living?"
    "Where EXACTLY do you live?"
    "Where EXACTLY did you go to college and what EXACTLY did you study?"

    He should have known the answer to all four questions already because I had told him online. I told him again as nicely as I could. He got more and more obnoxious and condescending to me in between talking about his his golfing trips abroad and his high net worth clients.

    I left after about half an hour.

    The farting fireman.

    Met a hot fireman in a pub one night, had a kiss, he got my number. I was so chuffed with myself. This guy was HOT and I always had a thing for firemen (Yeah, who doesn't).

    Anyway, he picks me up and we drive over to his area to go for drinks in a pub. On the way, he stops off at his apartment to get a jacket and asks me if I want to come in for a sec, so we go inside. I'm standing in the sitting room and he runs into his bedroom en suite. He doesn't close the door properly (unfortunately) and proceeds to let off this string of whopper farts. I don't just mean they were loud, they were violent rumbles in the jungle. Poor guy sounded like he had stomach issues.

    I just couldn't look past it (Yes, I'm shallow) and for the whole date, just kept hearing those crackerjacks going off in my head.

    I hate farting. It might not have been the worst date, but was certainly the most disappointing :(

    You can't unhear farts. I know, I've tried :(.

    I would give him a little slack on the basis of tummy issues and the fact he left the room, so marks for effort there!

    Arranged to meet this guy through friends,hes gorgeous they said, and sound, you'll have a ball. He collected me from my parents house, he didnt knock just called when he was outside.

    When he got out of the car he was about 5 foot nothing, and had his hair spiked as high as he could I presume to make himself look taller, and he had the man boot heels on.
    I could hardly just say good luck,so off I went, we sat down and were making doing the whole obligitory small chat, I feel his hand on my back sorta down the back of my jeans, I removed his hand and said WTF are you doing and he proceeds to tell me girls love it when you play around with the knickers!! and it usualy leads to sex for him, ehh no we don't you F weirdo! , I just got up and left and flew over to my friends house to strangle her!

    The best part is yet to come! It was Easter time, you'll get why I'm saying this now. This guy obviously presumed I went home, arrived at my parents house the same time as my uncle arrived, my uncle is gay! the two go in to the house together, my mam thinks hes my uncles new friend and my uncle presumed he was mine or my bros friend!, my lovely date has a huge Easter egg in his hand for me. I arrived home see his car outside and ring my mam, this is at least an hour later!! Only then did they realise who he was, pair of gob****es, sitting in the house with my mam and uncle having a cup of tea!! I hid around the corner till he left, no-one asked him who the huge egg was for!!!

    That was one of many a bad first date!

    Several years ago I went with a guy on a date to a water park, and he spent the whole time saying really nasty things about the other visitors in the park and how they looked in their bathing suits. It wasn't just a comment or two - it went on for the entire time and was constant. And he wasn't good about keeping his voice down either. I was mortified.

    Just the other week I went on a date with a guy who
    1. Asked me point blank if we were going to fcuk that night. Just like that.
    2. Asked me how girls talk about "beautiful cocks" and seemed very disappointed and in denial when I said that, in my experience, my girlfriends and I had never had such conversations.
    3. When I dropped him off at his apartment he would kiss me and then say, "What?" and then kiss me again and kept doing this until I finally had to say, "You need to get out of my car."

    Worst date was with a guy I’d known in passing for well over a year before hand (we lived in the same street). He seemed intelligent, funny and he was good looking too, so when he asked me out, I said yes.

    It was awful. He was really intense the whole evening. Kept agreeing strongly with every opinion I voiced. One of the first things he said was “If I’d asked you out when I first met you, would you have said yes?”. I told him I had a boyfriend then so I wouldn’t have. He told me that he’d have assumed I was lying if I said that. I asked him why, he said that’s just what women do...!!

    Highlights of the topics of conversation he thought were suitable for a first date included porn, everything that was wrong with the way Irish women approach relationships (although apparently I was the one shining exception to the rule) and how much money he made (a lot, as if that was all I’d be interested in!).

    When I wouldn't go home with him, he announced (not asked) that he was taking me out somewhere expensive next weekend. I told him as nicely as possible that I didn’t think we should see each other again. He really freaked me out at this point because he got pretty aggressive and he launched into how much chemistry we had (eh…), how he felt like god had meant for us to meet (EH……) and how I'd never find anyone who'd treat me like he would!

    No idea where he is now, I legged it at that point and I avoided him like the plague til my lease was up two months later. It put me off going on any more dates for quite a while :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,624 ✭✭✭✭meeeeh


    I would much rather suffer through farts than listen to people talking about money on a date. Especially first date. It always makes me feel a bit cheap and wonder why would someone think their paycheck is the way to impress me. Anyway people who are really well off don't need to say it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭bscm


    Had several years of bad luck and met some guy in a coffee shop. Attractive enough and he approached me. We got chatting and seemed to click so we arranged to meet up for coffee again, explicitly as a date. He somehow found my number from a friend of a friend and we were texting away before the date. I thought, holy crap, this is actually going well.

    The d-day arrived. The date went really, really well. We had a lot of chemistry, conversation flowed really well. He was very flirty and touchy feely. Immediately, I was hoping for a second date.

    Then, after an hour, he went pale as a ghost. He looked over my shoulder to the door and stood up immediately. This pretty blonde supermodel of a girl runs up to him, hugging him enthusiastically, saying "I thought you were visiting your family today!".

    My date disengages himself from the girl, turns to me and stutters, "uh... yeah, em... well, I am! This is my cousin".

    Jesus that sound awful, but I'm still sitting here on the luas laughing my ass off with everyone staring at me.

    Thanks, made my morning.

    Please tell us you didn't let him get away with it! :-0

    I replied with something along the lines of "so you take all your cousins on dates then?"

    Fecker even tried to text me again a few days later but I ignored him.

    As far as I've heard it wasn't the first time he's dated other people whilst being in a relationship, and that blonde girl keeps taking him back. Fair play to her for being so forgiving, but I really don't think he's worth it

    God where do i start
    One guy was a blind date, looked nice and tall. Turned out he was very short and very old.
    Another was just awful, didnt get on with him at all, spent an hour in the rain waiting for a bus, becasue id insisted one was due just to get away from him.
    Another dropped me home after a date, i wasnt feeling it, so told him later. 2 days later he turned up at my house in the middle of the night, constantly ringing doorbell and ringing my phone. He told me id broken his heart, and that i was horrible (amongst a lot more abuse)
    Another had absolutely nothing to say on the date, it was so awkward. Driving home he text me to say he couldnt wait to have hot s*x with me :eek:

    My worst date was last summer Before you read it i will point out i have a bad form of dyslexia with a spelling age of a 6 year old. But i nearly have my 1st degree now

    There was this girl i used to see around all the time for 2 years extremely good looking and all and friends with a former friend he was a friend at that time.

    But anyway went onto a online dating site one day and i see her so i read her profile and took a good 2 hours to do a perfect massage and basically waited on to a got one back from her and we txted and face booked over over a week.

    She giving me hints that she wonted to go to a gig that was on at the weekend so i said might as well go and asked her on a date and she said she was wait for me to ask it and all. But i should have been thinking before hand. Telling me i was a keeper, in for the long run, that i was perfect and countless other stuff and we both has problems with mental heath before and we talked about that for a good while.

    I paid for the tickets and booked myself a hotel to stay for the night as i lived 60KM away from her and did not wont to stay with any friends that night.

    Came date day i was waiting in the hotel shaking as this was it i had a date with her in 2 hours and my mind was going how did this happen.

    Then the worst date in my life started before i met her. I met her dad dropping her up to see me. She was 21 as well i will point out. Had to shake his hand and talk to him before herself.

    Then we went for a coffee before hand and I ordered 2 cakes to brake the ice and then 10 mins after sitting down in comes her brother in law . Who i had to met and talk to as he came over to us. This was all planed as i could tell. Like i am great for meeting people and talking away to them but today wasn't my day as my nerves got to me and i started to panic eat for the day.

    Then on the way over to the gig bumped into her cusion and boyfriend and i had to talk to them as well.

    Then got to the gig of course with being so nerves i was saying some shocking dark lads jokes forgetting i was with a girl.

    But then her best friend and boyfriend shows up. And another friend of hers who had a child with them. As i am mixed race on my fathers side there boyfriends of her friends started to insult my background EG Italy and stuff coming from there and the likes as i am very proud of it. I went to the loo and i called my friend and i was just crying at this stage saying this girl i wonted to speak to for years i am on a date with her and it just keeps getting worse and worse. He told me just leave you be better off (Sorry i never did). There was on the main band left to play so i told him i am going to stay for that as i had paid 40 euros for the ticket.

    For the hole date she was talking to her friends and not making one effort with me while i was trying with all her friends. One of them hand who had a child with him had a 3DS and i set down and played it with him for while as trying to make a effort.

    Then at the end of the date she went to hug me i pulled back and said bye to her got a txt while i went to get myself some food saying it didn't work out and we didn't click. i told her in a txt back look i was extremely nerves i met all your friends and family on top of that of course it didnt work as you spent more time with your friends.

    Then i seen her a few months later again while i was doing work for my college placement and she gave me some dirty look after i said Hi to her.
