OK... the "are you fertile" guy is definitely hard to top, but I will say I have had my fair share of bad dates.
I think my worst of all time was a guy I met on Match. He had moved to the area for a job and we had corresponded a few times via email before meeting up. We seemed to have some things in common and our emails were friendly and playful, so we set a date to meet up for a drink on a Friday night.
I showed up about 15 minutes early and ordered myself a drink while I waited. When he showed up, I bought him a drink, and he seemed incredibly shocked by this. He said, "that is so cool that you are buying me a drink" or something to that effect about five times. While I thought that was a bit over the top, I just thought he was trying to be nice, so I didn't think much else of it. In retrospect I can see why he would be so flabbergasted by the idea of a woman buying a man a drink.
We make small talk for awhile, and eventually I ask him about his job. My primary reason for asking was because he had indicated he had moved about three times for this job, so I figured it was something he must enjoy doing if he repeatedly relocated for it. When I asked him to tell me about his job, he responded, "Why do you want to know?" I kind of awkwardly laughed b/c I thought he was kidding. He then again said, with a bit of a smirk, "Tell me why you want to know." So I said I was just interested in learning more about him and what he liked about his line of work. He then said, "No, that's not why you want to know. You're a woman. I know why you want to know."
Surprised and a bit frustrated, I said, "What exactly do you mean by that?" He responded, "well, you're a woman, so you really just want to know how much money I make. You don't have to lie about it." Our "conversation" then turned into a heated debate about my intentions and then women in general. All the while, he had this insanely frustrating smirk on his face.
After about 15 minutes, we stopped arguing, though I don't remember why nor do I remember why I didn't storm out in the middle of it. I was getting ready to cut the night short at that point when he grabbed my hand and said, "You are so refreshing. I really like you."
Whaaaaat???
So I said something like, "We just argued for the first 15 minutes of our date, you basically insulted me, yet you like me and find me refreshing??" Apparently, he liked that I stood up for myself. Whatever.
I told him I had to get home, and as we walked out together, he told me he felt like going to another bar. I told him to have fun. He then asked me for a recommendation for a fun place to go out. ???? Bizarre. Now I'm his social coordinator? I just wanted to get out of there, so I pointed out a place down the street and that was it....
Until he proceeded to call me twice a week for another three weeks despite the fact I never once picked up the phone nor returned his calls.
