Hmmm...first one that comes to mind is the one where the guys car smelled like cat piss.
It should have been a sign of things to come. On the date he started telling me about how he got kicked out of high school for poor academics (didn''t know that could happen) so he had to change schools. He took me out to dinner (well...went dutch...) and then were supposed to go to a movie but I asked him to go on home. It was going to be a drive in but the car smelled so bad I couldn''t handle it.
He got married about a year later to the next girl he started dating. They were divorced about a year after that.

I have two. I tried the online dating thing for a while, and that''s actually how I ended up meeting my husband. Before we met though, I had met 2 other guys.
Guy #1: We went out a number of times, and we usually went to restaurants in our area. One day though, he asked me to come to his house for dinner. Great, I thought, he''s going to cook for me! Well, I showed up and he had a Stouffer''s lasagna cooking. Yep, a frozen dinner. I stifled the urge to roll my eyes, and we chatted while it was in the oven (hey, at least he didn''t use the microwave). We sat down for dinner and he didn''t offer me anything to drink. I had to ask (and then get it myself). We didn''t have a salad or anything else -- just the frozen lasagna. Needless to say, we didn''t see each other much after that. It wasn''t as if he made apologies for not knowing how to cook. He kept insisting how much I''d like the lasagna, as if it was perfectly normal to feed a date a frozen meal.
Guy #2: This other guy and I had been e-mailing quite a bit before we met in person. I thought he could be a great guy. Well, he met me after work one night and we went out to dinner. He barely spoke to me the whole time, and getting anything out of him was like pulling teeth. It was painful and the night ended shortly after. A few weeks went by and he e-mailed me to apologize for how he behaved on our date. He went on to say that he really liked me but that he had some things to tell me, and he wasn''t sure if he should that night or not. He then laid it all out for me, and I can''t remember the whole story, but it involved the police arresting him for a "misunderstanding" between him and another girl, etc. He asked me out again, during this e-mail, but he said that he''d understand if I didn''t want to see him again. Good guess buddy.

Well, I haven''t been on a whole lot of "real" dates and have been with my husband since I was barely 20 and had another boyfriend for 2 years prior to that... but when I was about 16 I went on what I thought at the time was the worst date ever - though now I''d probably view it differently.
When I was 16 I was set up on a blind date by my much older cousin (about 40 years older than I) and got picked up in a rickety old farm truck and taken to the movies to see Police Academy 3 or 4 or something - one of the sequels. He barely talked, he was completely shy, I TRIED to initiate conversations but it was dull dull dull and the way home was silent with me counting the moments as they dragged by. I was young and hot and used to being a bit wild but I could tone it down as needed but this guy - he was just on a different planet or something.
thankfully that''s as bad as it ever got for me!! But woah, boring.

Many come to mind.
Once a guy took me out and talked about his ex girlfriend the whole time, then got drunk and cried. Wow.
Another one tried to get me up to his place and when I said I had to leave, he left me in the middle of Boston at 1am. I was terrified, and the jerk kept calling and emailing for 3 YEARS AFTER THAT even though we never went out again.
Another guy tried to take me shopping on our first date. No thanks.
Luckily I met my husband or I would have given up on men years ago.

I don''t really have any horror stories ... The worst was when I went out with this guy on the rowing team and allll he could talk about was working out, rowing, getting in shape, etc, etc. I wanted to bang my head on the table repeatedly. He was a nice guy, but the male equivalent of a bimbo (though he was an engineer, so clearly he couldn''t have been as stupid as he came across). We just had zero in common.
After our date, I hoped he''d drop it, but he kept contacting me and wanting to go out again. I felt bad letting him down. Then a week later I passed him in the street with my roommate who said "He''s so hot! Why don''t you date him?" Lol. Oh well.
Funny thing is, DH hates him with a passion (we were at the same school) because he''s such a male bimbo. He almost spit out what he was drinking when I said I went on a date with the guy.

A MIMBO!!! That''s what I call the conceirge in our condo building!
I don''t have many stories to share either, but a few:
- First date, after 10 minutes of talking, guy wanted to get busy in the parking lot. Yeah, like that''s happening.
- Guy treated me like his ''trophy'', took me around to introduce me to people he didn''t like to rub it in their face. Um. WTF?
- Guy was FULL of himself, he thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I didn''t even get to say two works!!!

And, uh, guy #1 ... seriously? You should''ve asked him how well that technique has worked for him so far

I''ve never had a bad date.
DH and I have been together since I was 17 so not much time before him.
I only dated guys that I already knew. I never accepted dates from a stranger. So, while some of my dates were "weird" by most people''s standards (driving around in the water truck soaking the track before the demo derby at the fair), I knew what I was getting myself into ahead of time. They were all fun.
Some of these bad dates are very funny though!!

The worst date I didn''t go on: At my undergrad, frats had certain theme parties where, if you went to them, you wore the shirt of the party to the party. Great trend, I know, but it was the 90s and the era of baggy oxfords and leggings anyways, so it wasn''t like we were going to wear something cute otherwise. Anyways, the guy shows up with my shirt for "Frat X Date Rape Punch Date Party." I made some excuse about how I had been trying to call him and was feeling sick. He then went door-to-door in my sorority house until he found a replacement date - and I think it only took him like two quads down.
The worst date I did go on: I had one guy drive me 20 minutes from our college town (where there were plenty of nice restaurants) to a HOOTERS for dinner. During college I was really involved with social justice issues, which he knew, and when I told him I wasn''t comfortable eating there he told me to "lighten up" and that we were only there for the wings. I didn''t eat. After dinner, we went to see Boogie Nights (which I did want to see, but was an awkward first date movie for anyone, but especially with someone who had just taken you to Hooters). On the way home, he said since I hadn''t eaten he would get me a pizza to take back to my apartment. He ordered a cheese and onion pizza from Pizza Hut (a gross combo at my least favorite pizza chain, so obviously without input) and asked if he could eat it with me back in my apartment. Yeah, no.
Runner up: Guy from neighboring big university a few miles away from my uni showed up with an overnight bag and a flip-and-**** (hopefully people from my era know what this is--a portable chair that could be turned into a bed) and asked where he could put his things for later on our FIRST DATE. We were going drinking, so I guess I shouldn''t have expected him to go home, but I made sure he knew he and his f&f were staying in the common room.

Oh Lord...
I met a guy for dinner and brought my friend along since I''d never met him before and wanted to be cautious. He started talking about how he hates gay people. The reason? One time he was at the movie theater with his friends and one of his guy friends put his hand on top of another guy''s leg. Thats it! It was such a bizarre reason. After dinner, he followed us back to our place where I was going to bake some cookies. Or so I thought. We got home and realized he wasn''t behind us. I didn''t have his number so we just waited to see if he showed up. And he did. About 45 minutes later! He had stopped at starbucks to get some coffee for us but it was closed. I guess it was a nice gesture but he could have mentioned it or something first. I put the cookies in the oven and right as I was taking them out he said he was going to leave. The cookies were done and he couldn''t even stay for one! It was all just so odd...

I met my husband on jdate.com, it's a Jewish dating website. I only went on one date with another guy from that site before I met my husband, and it was a pretty awful date.
First, he told me he was 31. He was not. He turned out to be at least 45 when we met in person.
He proceeded to talk during our entire meal, and mainly about the following things:
1) How much he hated Chicago. He was from Michigan, I think, and Chicago was just an awful city in his opinion. Thanks, I was born and raised in Chicago.
2) How *noble* it was that I was planning on becoming a teacher because he could NEVER live his high falutin' lifestyle on a meager teacher's salary. Teachers are SO POOR! How could he enjoy his second home in the country and all his travels on a teacher's salary! He NEEDS a sports car at all times.
After the meal he did not wait for my car to come at the valet, he gave me a quick hug and left me standing there with a ticket in my hand.
Fine. I wasn't interested, I made that pretty clear from the outset when I asked him why he lied about his age. The really strange part of it all was that two or three weeks later he called me and left a strange message about how he had been thinking about my long, strong legs the entire time, and hoped we could get together soon so I could wrap them around him.
He apologized for not calling sooner, but he was at his "country house" relaxing. Gag.
Psycho!
BTW: I always wear pants. He must have been thinking about some other poor girl's legs.

Oh Gawd Haven, that sounds so awful, I can just see his old lying man self giving you an awkward hug!
My former supervisor, (we were very tight I love her), and her friend who is also a supervisor, somehow decided that they needed to introduce me and a guy that the other woman supervises...following me? So they made a reservation at a nice restaurant for four! Yup, just me, the woman who evaluates me, him, and the woman who evaluates him! I was so nervous about what to wear and do before going. He of course was lovely, and very clearly to me instantly, FLAMINGLY GAY! So the night was wonderful and we have been friends for years, so it was a good night...but not a good DATE!
He likes to tell people, now that he is open about his orientation, that we used to date- it gets a laugh every time.

I wasn't on a date, but the oddest situation was when I was out with this guy and he ordered calamari, but asked for it with 'no tentacles'. ????? It's CALAMARI! Then he sent it back, because it apparently had tentacles. And he basically complained the entire time we were out, so yeah...
On a date when I was 16, the guy was just staring at me in the dark at the movies. Sitting right next to me. And when I told him that it was awkward and making me uncomfortable, he didn't really stop, just took longer breaks in between stares...
Another time I was out socially with a guy during a conference and he was paying for something that was overpriced at a hotel gift shop. He was mad about the price of the thing he was purchasing, and rather than forking over the extra cash, he reached into the tip jar and used it to pay. And had the nerve to be taken aback that the cashier was giving him attitude about it. He was buying something small too, like a granola bar. It was so odd. He was a really nice guy, and he was FINE, and we had a lot of fun that night, but I know a red flag when I see one! What a cheapskate!

Ha, ha! Love this question.
My cousin introduced me to one of his friends and we hit it off. I had a great time talking to him and made plans to see him again. The second time I saw him we were going out in a group and he proceeded to tell my friends that he was a recovering crack addict and that he had been homeless for for months. I almost DIED!!!!!!

The worst one that I can think of offhand was when I lived in Montreal and discovered that men from the Middle East were really hot. However, after a few months, I figured out there were some cultural differences and attitudes towards women that more than made up for their physical attractiveness.
Like the guy who stared at my arms and kept touching them all the time (I was wearing a sleeveless but high-necked shirt) telling me that if I visited his village with bare arms the men would "just start ****ing off" and later said he was looking forward to "seeing how far he could go with me". How far he got was that the date ended as soon as I could escape and I never went out with him again.
There was also the guy who ordered a giant submarine-style TUNA SANDWICH at this fancy restaurant and proceeded to eat it dryer-machine style, littering the table with flecks of canned tuna. He commented on how feminine (not sure the exact words) it was for me to barely touch my food and stick to drinking my tea. Apparently he didn''t realize I was so queasy from viewing his food''s acrobatics that I''d lost my appetite.

That''s weird that you say that, I went on one blind date with a (friend of a friend from Harvard) Pakistani man and he was the same way... he seemed to think that I''d be jumping into bed with him after a few glasses of wine. Eek!

Mine was back in hs. I was complaining to a guy that high school boys didn''t know how to take a girl on a nice date. He wanted to convince me otherwise. He was late picking me up. We went to see a movie for free at the theatre because I worked there (so I had to see my coworkers, it was awkward). He took me out to eat at a nice restaurant, but only because he had a gift certificate, which he left in the car and then had to go get while I sat alone at the table. He then took me home, and it was 7 o''clock on a Saturday night, and I had a feeling he was going to meet his guy friends after that. It was just awkward all around and I don''t think either of us was really interested in the other.

Some of these stories are
.
In the best possible way, of course.
Mine was back in college. This guy, who I vaguely knew since he hung out at the periphery of one of my friend-groups, asked me out to a performance of the Philharmonic in NYC. Bit of a drive, since our school was in another state, but it sounded fun, and it was nice to get off campus once in a while, so I said yes even though the guy was not at all attractive and a little weird (the latter I chalked up to his being a grad student from another country with maybe different social norms).
So he shows up dressed like a homeless person with beaten-up dirty sneakers. Ew. Dinner is at an okay-ish nice restaurant but he eats the entire meal with his mouth open, talks with his mouth full (while saying nothing interesting, not that I was able to pay much attention to the actual conversation), and does stuff like licking his butter knife before putting it back in the communal butter plate. Ew more.
We finally get to the symphony and it''s a wonderful performance but I can''t really enjoy it because dude is sitting next to me constantly smacking his lips and sighing and PUTTING HIS GROSS WORN-OUT SNEAKERS ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HIM. Where a very nice silver-haired lady was sitting in very nice clothes doing her best to ignore him.
Ew x3, strikeout.
The entire ride back I spent in mortified silence waiting for the glorious moment when I could make my escape. And then out of nowhere dude starts telling me about his last girlfriend who committed suicide a couple of years before.
Then he broke down crying and I got the hell out of the car and that was the last time I ever saw or spoke to that guy.
In the best possible way, of course.
Mine was back in college. This guy, who I vaguely knew since he hung out at the periphery of one of my friend-groups, asked me out to a performance of the Philharmonic in NYC. Bit of a drive, since our school was in another state, but it sounded fun, and it was nice to get off campus once in a while, so I said yes even though the guy was not at all attractive and a little weird (the latter I chalked up to his being a grad student from another country with maybe different social norms).
So he shows up dressed like a homeless person with beaten-up dirty sneakers. Ew.

worst date - we went to a friend''s party on our first date and my drink went down the wrong pipe... and I Had a mouthful of it still... I spit it everywhere, and spent 15 mins coughing and choking. Somehow he still had the desire to kiss me at the end of the night
We stopped dating a few weeks later.

This is hands down, the worst. ETA: For me. LOL, not that you all don't have some dingers!!!
I went out with this guy, we got set up and we went out for dinner. He was good looking enough and seemed to really have his head on right. We went to this great little restaurant and it seemed to go well. We had talked on the phone for about a week before and had also emailed. I thought we had enough in common, blah blah blah. We sit down to the table and have the pleasantries. "you look nice"..."thanks, you look nice as well" Blah blah. Then he drops the bomb. Looks me straight in the eye and as serious as all get out says to me "I need to know something, are you fertile?".
How do you respond? In retrospect and upon telling this story to a lot of friends we have come up with some interesting responses...but I did the first thing that came to my mind. I excused myself to the restroom, with my purse, and left through the emergency exit. Sure did.
LOL, I told the friend that set us up that he said that, she was FLOORED. Her DH called him and he was completely serious and thought that was a legit question. Sure, it is, when you have been on more than 1 date!! LOL. Wow.

Ahem. I continue to just look at him...waiting, hoping for a crack and a smile and a "just joking" hahahahahahah.
NOTHING, homeslice was 1000% FOR REAL.

This was back in high school.
A friend of a good friend (I''ll call him Tony because that''s his name) asked me out.I didn''t know him very well but he was REALLY cute so I accepted.
When he came to pick me up he had his not so cute buddy Bill with him. Apparently we were going to double. OK the more the merrier I thought.
We stopped at a house and the friend came out with a girl I recognized. It was Tony''s ex girlfriend. He had Bill pick her up because her parents had not allowed her to see Tony.
So I now find myself in the back seat with Bill
If this happened today of course I would have been long gone. I just sat there.
But wait there''s more. The destination of our date is announced. It''s the strip pits.
For those of you who are not familiar with strip mining, it leaves large holes in the earth that eventually fill up with water. Voila, instant illicit swimming holes. Very dangerous and of course no lifeguard on duty.
Tony and girlfriend had moved to the back seat and were stating to suck face. Bill looked at me and I decided to take my chances with the water.
Strike three. Tony''s car had this cool feature where the front doors are welded shut and you have to crawl out the window. As I reached around the door post to hold on someone shut the door on my fingers......and the three of
them ran down to the water leaving me to yell for help till someone finally heard me.
Strike four (Yes there was one more) The emergency room nurse was my mother''s friend. So much for keeping my misadventure a secret from Mom and Dad.
To this day my middle finger is crooked.

My male friend went on a date with a girl he met online. After the date was over, he was in her apartment having a drink when she offered to show him her child **** collection. Obviously the date was over after that and he was reporting what she said to authorities. Don''t know what happened after that.
