When he was opening the door for me, I unintentionally swung around, causing my purse to whip him in the face. We spent 2 hours in the car outside my building, and I had to hold tissues to his tilted-back head.

Need I say more? Ok, I will: He had skidmarks on his shorts. I took a cab home while he went to get change.

Well I should definitely win the gold for the "how I found this site" category:
My date took me to an internet cafe (!!!) and made me browse all kinds of random sites. And then he said, let's check out this "worst date" site. I sure hope he checks this page often...

He was perfect. He worked in the next office and always talked about his family (Grade Score: A+), which I took to mean he wasn't a creep. When he asked me out, I was exhilarated.
He opens the car door for me (Grade Score: A+), and there is... his MOTHER! (Grade Score: F)
I'm speechless.
She spent the entire evening dispensing advice about everything from my weight (!!!) to why she thought I'm still single.
Beware of family men!!!
#33 - My First Worst Date
Posted on 2/18/2010 3:56:11 PM by Susan Vana
All of my friends got married before me. In the middle of their Marital Bliss, they all decided that I should be as happy as they were. Sandy called to let me know that one of her clients was single and rich (she was doing financial planning, so she knew!). He had all of the qualifications that she "thought" I required, so we planned a double date. Even the company of two of my best friends couldn't mask the fact that he had acquired his wealth in the funeral business. Yeah, he was, is a mortician!!!!! Complete with comb-over and shiny out-of-style shoes, and a not so shiny personality. I am a girl who can make lemonade out of lemons, so I wanted the lowdown on the funeral business. But all he talked about all evening was duck hunting. REALLY?????

My friend Annie's friend Sonya invited her to go on a double date and she accepted. They were getting ready for their double date, talking about the prospective evening, where they were going to go, what they were going to do. The doorbell rang and they went to get the door. Guess who was there - two guys: Sonya's date and Annie's date, who was her... gynecologist! I guess there were no surprises that night :)

So halfway through our dinner at Outback Steakhouse, I see that my MOTHER is two tables over in hermetical lip-lock with some dude. I guess the bright side was that I got to taste my steak twice :/

I was set up with this really cute guy who had season tickets to the Yankees, so on our first date he took me to a game. Everything was going well, Yanks were up three points and we were really hitting it off. We had our beers in hand and were sharing an extra large nachos with all the trimmings, when all of a sudden the kiss-cam came on!!!! The cam zoomed in on us, and everyone in our box was cat-calling and whistling. I don't kiss on first dates, but I would have given him a peck on the cheek for the camera's sake. But he beat me to the chase - with a mouth full of nachos, and gave me a full open-mouthed kiss. I gagged and barfed immediately. And the camera caught all of this, and did playbacks every few minutes because the crowd thought it was so funny. Yeah you guessed it... I didn't call ... [+] him back when he asked me out on a second date.

On a blind date last month, my date and I sat down next to two much older couples on a double date. Halfway through our meal, they look over at us and start telling us how cute of a couple we are. They even asked us when the wedding was (a word that's not even in my vocabulary)! I thought the situation was hysterical, but my date was mortified. It didn't work out, but it was definitely an experience to remember.

I met Sherry at the Dentist's office. A beautiful hygienist, I was psyched for our date. I picked her up and took her to San Pornadoze`s Mexican Restaurant. After an enjoyable meal, we went for a stroll on the boardwalk. That's when we ran into her husband - and her boyfriend. That made for a nice encounter. I left quickly - I figured, let the other two fight over who gets to drive her her home.

One time a guy told me he was taking me out on his new "yacht" he had just purchased. He was super excited about it and wouldn't stop talking about it. When we got to the water, he pulled out a beat up inflatable canoe from his trunk. He made me row to the middle of the ocean while he chilled out and said, "ahh, now this is the way it should be." Then he pulled out from his backpack a bag of cookies for him and a bag of celery for me. He said, "don't thank me, I know you ladies need to keep your tight figure, why do you think I'm making you row?" Needless to say, he had to swim back to shore.

I was on a date with a guy who recently got out of a two year relationship. He took me to an Italian restaurant, where I ordered Chicken Marcela. He commented that this was his ex's favorite dish! I found it a little awkward to mention his ex but I let it slide and soon we were both laughing and having a great time, or so I thought. Suddenly his laughter turned into sobbing - was he seriously crying? I asked him what was wrong and that's when he began to rehash the events that led up to his painful breakup. I asked him if he wanted to call it a night but he said he couldn't bare to be alone. But I made the decision to call it a night - I was not going spend the rest of the date as his shoulder to cry on.

It wasn't so much "what she said" as much as "how loud she said it." Especially when she was singing to herself in the restroom. That's one Italian restaurant I can't go back to...

I knocked on the door a few times before it was answered by her mother or grandmother, I'm not sure which one, a sweet old lady, probably in her 70's. She told me to hold on just a moment, went back upstairs, came back and told me SHE was ready to go. Always ask the girl's age before going out on a blind date. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I took out this nice girl once, who insisted that she was a Kennedy for some reason randomly over and over throughout the night. And then when I took her home, she burst into tears, saying she couldn't live the lie anymore, and that she really was a Nixon. Needless to say, I got her checked back into the hospital as soon as possible

A buddy of mine told me he was set up on a date and it was a nightmare. She was coming out of a tough break-up and she kept calling my friend her ex's name. To make things worse, she had bad breath and was a close talker. They went to see a movie and he was so focused on trying to hold his breath, that he couldn't enjoy the movie. He ended cutting the date short by making up a story about a family emergency.

I was really looking forward meeting my blind date. When he showed up at my door step, I got a whiff of something nasty. He was very well dressed, but he had major BO. He seemed very nervous, maybe that's why he was sweating so bad. At the movies he tried to move his arm around my shoulders. The smell was horrible and could see the huge pit stains under his arms. I rushed to the bathroom and vomited. I was probably in there for 1 hour to pass the time. The date soon ended after that.

I awaited my blind date to find out he was my ex husband, obviously I didn't go. This may not be considered a worst date but it surely made me sick.
#9 - Help, get me out of here!
Posted on 2/9/2010 9:25:00 PM by Renee
Another bad blind date: My friend told me she had a friend who was working for a dating service that just opened, and was looking for people, so they were giving out free memberships to women. (This was back in the 90's by the way , before online dating). So I figured, why not.... I only went on one date and that was enough for me! So not to sound shallow, but I was told that the guy I was meeting was an attractive lawyer and very successful - sounds good, so we talked on the phone and then picked a place to meet. First, he was about 40 minutes late , so I just went to the bar and had a drink. When I was about to leave, he showed up, and of course made a point to show me his new yellow corvette as if that was supposed to wow me. I wish I had never waited; this guy was definitely older than ... [+] the age he said. He then tells me that he wasn't sure that I was me since I told him I would be wearing a Green business suit and I was wearing black. (He was color blind! I was clearly wearing GREEN.) Not off to a good start. We then get seated, and he takes the napkin off of the table and TUCKS it into his pants. (ewwwwww!) I thought I would die right there... He ate the whole basket of rolls, and so unpleasant to look at...did I mention he was not even remotely attractive and a complete nerd to say the least. He ate like a slob .... I just kept thinking, how do I get out of here NOWWWWW!!!! So he told me he has cats , I told him I was allergic, I won't bore you but that's how the whole HOUR went....I then excused my self and went to the bathroom and on the way, I saw the waiter and told him PLEASE bring the check QUICKLY....he said "I gotcha...blind date? I don't see the 2 of you together LOL" Now there is a bright side...although I didnt use that service again, I still believed in Blind dates...so when you want the World's Best Date, let me know and I will tell you how I met my husband!
#7 - A Match Made in Hell
Posted on 2/2/2010 3:39:00 PM by Aaron
I stepped out of the shower, and got
dressed with
excitement. This was going to be one great blind date. My cousin had
told me about this girl, and I had not heard a bad thing from anyone. I
know her older sister, and she is gorgeous. From what I had heard,
Stacy was even prettier. Looks aside, my cousin told me how she is
smart, funny, and can appreciate my twisted sense of humor. To
summarize: I was hyped.
I got into the car I had
rented, and drove to her house. Her mother opened the door and welcomed
me. They told me Stacy was still getting ready, but I should just make
myself comfortable for a few minutes until she was ready to leave. As I
sat down with the parents, I was increasingly impressed with their
warmth and friendliness. Usually I am nervous on blind dates, but this
time
... [+] I was completely relaxed.
After a few minutes of
talking, and waiting for Stacy to come downstairs, I was startled by a
loud "WUMP". Before I could comment, lumbering down the stairs was the
largest girl I have ever seen. Now, before you get all judgmental on
me, let me clarify: I am not that picky about looks, and would date an
overweight girl. But this was different. This girl was just under 6
feet tall, and almost as wide. She could not have weighed less than 540
lbs. She arrived at the bottom of the stairs, contorted her face into a
smile, and in the deepest voice I have ever heard, she said, "Hello, I
am Stacy". I almost fainted.
After regaining my
composure and realizing that I had no choice but to go out with this
poor girl, we said good-bye to her parents walked out of the house. As
we approach the car, she says to me, "Aaron, I have this phobia of
being driven by someone I do not know. Can I please drive""
I started mumbling
something about how I didn't think it would be a good idea, but she
just stared at me and commanded "GIVE ME THE KEYS". If you saw the way
this girl was glaring at me, you would have done what I did - just
handed her the keys. She unlocked the car door
and swung it open with such force, I thought it would fly off. When she
settled into the seat of this small Volvo, in addition to filling the
entire driver's seat, she took up most of the passenger's seat as well.
I had no choice but to sit in the back.
So there I was, sitting in
the backseat, my mind lost, wondering how I got myself into this
situation. My thoughts were interrupted by Stacy's gruff voice. "We're
going to Box Tree," she announced, referring to one of the most
expensive restaurants in Manhattan. I didn't even try arguing. I just
sat still, hoping for a car accident.
After 40 minutes of
driving, accompanied by Stacy's monologue (which I won't bother boring
you with - but I will tell you that she has a great memory for
play-by-play of professional paint-drying tournaments), we arrived at
the restaurant. After being seated, the menus arrived, and I braced
myself for the worst. The waiter came, and she ordered incredible
amounts of food. My eyes racing across the menu as she read off the
items, I realized that I might have to use more than one credit card
for this one. When she finished reading, she announced, "That's for
him, I already ate." All she asked for herself was a small salad.
I sat in my seat, my brain
doing summersaults inside my head. Stacy continued de-entertaining me
with her insights on ceiling tile construction while we waited. When
the food finally arrived, she commanded, "EAT". Again that glaring
look. I had no choice. As I forced myself to consume several steaks,
pastas, and vegetable dishes, she continued to eye me while slowly
eating her salad. When I finally finished all the food, she let me
excuse myself. I rushed to the bathroom and threw up. I never felt
sicker. I returned to the table, paid for over $700 worth of food, and
we left.
We got into the car, and I
fell asleep (again in the backseat). I woke up some time later as the
car jerked to a halt. I looked around and noticed that we were not in
the city anymore. We were in a wooded area, which I assumed was
somewhere in Upstate New York. She then exited the car, opened my door,
and said "OUT". I slowly climbed out, still feeling sore and sick.
Wondering what exactly she was up to, I closed the car door, and
started to ask, but she just hopped back into the car, and raced off.
I am writing this with the last of my
strength. Please post this letter in a public place. Give me the grace
of a hero's death.
