Everyone has experienced a bad date. Whether the person turned out to be a complete douche, they go on and about their ex, or worse they bring their mother on the date with them. I asked 7 ladies about their worse dating story and here is what they had to say.
1. Mr. Mamma's Boy
I met a guy on campus and I thought he was sweet (let's call him Bryan). Finally, after 3 days of running into each other and chatting for 5-10 minutes, he asked me out and I agreed. We decided to have dinner at Rotelli's pizza place. As soon as we sat down his phone went off. He explained it's his mother so he has to take it. No problem. I love my mother, too. Bryan comes back and sits down we order our pizza and drinks and then his phone goes off again. Guess who? His mother. He runs off to answer it. I brush it off but I did feel a bit confused.
Finally, our food comes and we start talking about hopes and dreams and then his mother calls..... again... He ignores it but she calls back again.... and again... But finally I just told him to take it. While he answers his mother I pay my half of the bill and leave. Mr. Mamma's boy is not meant for me.
2. Mr. Can I Borrow Some Money?
I meet a guy on the train I took to work. He would always be standing and waiting with me and we would chat heading to work (let's call him Mark). Mark had big dreams of being an engineer but wasn't finished with school yet. While I was almost done with nursing school. Mark asked me to out to dinner with him at PF Chang and I agreed. I meet him at PF Chang's and he came with beautiful roses, he opened the door for me, he pulled out my chair and we were having a good time. When the bill came I asked for a separate bill.
As I pulled out my credit card I heard him clear his throat so I looked up at him. He said, "Hey I'm sorry but I don't have enough for my food. Can I borrow some money to pay my bill and I will pay you back on Monday?" When I asked him how much he needed he said, "$31.00 I have the 12 cents." So he sat through whole meal and didn't have the money for it? As we were leaving he then proceeded to ask me to give him a lift to the bus stop. Worse date ever.
3. Mr. Sexist Who Loved Himself A LOT
So I went on a blind date in high school because I needed a prom date. This guy picks me up and ask where I want to go. I said that I'm cool with McDonald's because this is suppose to be casual. He says, "well, I don't have a lot of money, you cool with Royal Buffet?" (It's this super crappy Chinese buffet in Findlay, Ohio that cost like $11.00, so more expensive than McDonald's) So, he takes me there and proceeds to talk about himself the entire time and tells me that he likes to get blackout drunk and go out driving afterward (he was 17 or 18 at the time so that was a BIG RED FLAG).
Then he takes me to the dying Findlay Mall and proceeds to talk even more about himself. He didn't really let me say anything about myself. Then, on the way home, he pops in this raunchy, sexist comedy CD (after I told him that I like country music but never gave any indication that I would like to hear this awful "comedy"). After thirty whole minutes of him laughing at this redneck guy making disgusting remarks about women I was fed up. Needless to say, at the end of the night, I told him I wasn't interested.
4. Mr. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The worse date was my sophomore year of college. I was hanging out with this guy with our mutual friends and he asked me out on a date after a few weeks of talking. He was a COMPLETELY different person away from our friends. He asked me to pay for his froyo because he didn't bring any money. He talked about his exes the entire time over froyo. Then he asked me to look over his resume, and at the end of the date, he tried to kiss me but I rejected him. He then proceeded to delete me on all social media accounts that night. it was very uncomfortable and I felt like during the whole date I was doing counseling for him.
5. Mr. Wreckless
I was twenty at the time and he picked me up after class for our first date. We grabbed Burger King to eat and his "accent" started slipping. Instead of a southern accent, his real PNW accent started coming out.... We were in Idaho, so a PWN accent is completely normal. So that was a major red flag number one. The second red flag came out when he was talking to his brother. He answered the phone and spoke only in (what sounded like) Russian. When I asked how his brother was, he got super defensive and started acting oddly. Finally, red flag number 3, 4, and 5 popped up one after the other. There's an intersection really close to the road that's always super busy and not safe, and he decided that he didn't like that red light during rush hour, so he ran it and we were t-boned. The police came, and he bluntly lied to the officer there.
Apparently, he had 3+ guns in the car without my knowledge. I'm not the most comfortable around guns, but if you don't let me know that they are there that makes me feel unsafe. After the accident, it came out that I was the only person injured. I had a broken rib, several breaks in my pelvis, severe bruising, grade 3 concussion, and lasting brain damage DESPITE wearing my seat belt. Talk about worse date ever. I couldn't even get insurance information out of him.
6. Mr. Stalker
We went on a date to a lounge but at the end of the night I already made it up in my mind that I was not going to see him anymore. I called a lyft, wished him a good night and left. The next morning I woke up to 20+ text messages about how he missed me, how he wish he was in bed with me watching me sleep, and how he wished we were already married with kids. It completely creeped me out. So I sent him a message thanking him for the evening but saying at this time I'm not interested in moving forwards with him. He didn't respond so I went on my day like usual, going to class, then work, and coming home after. When I got home there were roughly 12 vases of flowers from him with love letter on then. What creeped me out was I never told him my address. I took a Lyft to and from our date.
So I asked him how did he know where I lived, he said when I went to the bathroom my purse was open so he went to close it and saw my license and memorized my address with the intent of sending me flowers after. I thanked him for the flowers and reminded him I did not want to go any further. Three days after the date he is on campus standing by my car asking to go get coffee. Five days after the date, he is in my living room helping my little brother with his homework. Two weeks after the date I had my father help me put a restraining order out on him.
