It was my first date with this guy. He was very gentleman-like and a real sweetheart. He took me out to dinner and we had great conversation. Everything was going really well until he held my hand while we waited for dessert. I looked down and thought his hands were very strange looking. How shall I put this... He had women hands, but not just women hands. Think of a hand model with perfect fingers and beautiful nail beds... those were his hands. I mentioned something about how his hands were 'pretty' and he said, nonchalantly, "Well, yeah, when I was a woman I was a hand model." I almost threw up and then said that it was getting late and I had to be home. Never responded to his/her phone calls again.

I met this girl online and I told her how much I was into water. Water sports are my life and I spend all of my free time on the lake. So of course I took her out to my boat for the day. It turns out she has a terrible phobia of water - I kid you not, she is terrified of taking a bath. I was so mad and asked her why she went out with me knowing that and she said because I looked cute. And women think WE MEN are the ones who are not considerate. What a waste of time.

I met a girl on match.com. I waited with my buddy at the bar where we were supposed to meet, but nobody who looked like her showed up. Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm and said, "Oh there you are!" She was 20 years older than her photo and 35 lbs heavier. I told her I really had to leave, and she grabbed my arm and said, "You're not going anywhere!" So my buddy and I jumped on our motorcycles to leave. SHE PULLED OUT A 38 AND BEGAN SHOOTING AT ME AND THE BIKE! The tires of my bike were hit, so I left the bike at the side of the road and jumped on the back of my buddy's bike. We tore out of there at 100 miles an hour.

Been going out with this guy for a few weeks. He was nice, but I didn't feel anything special. One evening, he shows up with a gift for me. It was a dated "dress" that look more like a robe - it kind of reminded me of what my grandmother used to wear. She called it a housecoat. It had a zipper down the front and huge flowers all over. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, which I knew could happen, so I wore it to the bar with him. I got the craziest teasing comments and he didn't seem to notice at all. I knew it was my own fault for not having the heart to break off these few dates we had...
When the bartender settled our tab, he gave me this pity look. I chose to believe that he understood what I was going through. I'm still mortified when I think of it.
Haven't been back to that bar since... ...read more

Of course my story is about a guy, and how sometimes a “mans best friend” deceives the man. His name was Fred, the guy that is, a nice real estate man from Long Island. I met him closely after adopting my canine companion, a sweet pup named Lana Lee. He seemed to be the perfect fit—tall, athletic, health conscious … Jewish! His mysterious craziness all started when he wouldn’t let Lana stay over his house because of his “perfect white carpets.” So when Lana and I came over she would have to stay on his balcony, even during those east coast July scorchers! I think from then on Lana began to sub consciously hate Fred…
Quickly into the relationship Fred invited me on a vacation to his beach house in North Carolina. What a perfect chance for Lana to be able to run around on the beach! So after ...read morepulling a few teeth, we agreed that she should come along. I could never leave the pup at home! I guess our trip started out interesting as I had to try and hold back laughter when I saw his tacky matching monogrammed luggage. I thought to myself yes he is OCD, but he could be worse… As we drove down South in the hot sun he absolutely had to stop at Ruby Tuesday’s and get a salad (of course lettace only, I could convince a rabbit to eat more) and insisted that Lana stay in the car. I refused, yet he persisted that we would only be 5 minutes. After a couple minutes my guilt got the best of me and I went back to the car to get her, only to find well an unexpected, umm surprise? Lana had the most disgustingly putrid explosive diarrhea. It was EVERYWHERE! But when I took a closer look it was ironically only on Fred’s belongings, (hey at least my Patagonia shoes made it through clean!) yikes.
Frantically, I tried to clean up the mess; the smell was unbearable and his stuff was completely ruined. When Fred began to walk over, I rushed to him before he could see the car and pleaded him to take Lana to go on a walk -I needed to stall him. I did the best to clean his bags, but after he got in the car he immediately asked if something smelled weird. I tried to deny it, “no I don’t smell a thing…..” but come on that doggy doody smelled! He became furious and told me that Lana could not come to his beach house and that we would have to take her to a kennel. After an hour of debate I finally gave in. I was sad and didn’t talk to Fred for the rest of the car ride. I had come to discover Fred was crazy, I ended up having the worst week of my life. Basically he didn’t like to party(who doesn’t?) and regulated our workouts everyday for 5 hours! We slept in different rooms and he monitored my eating, telling me that I ate too much after one night taking a second piece of chicken… It turns out my dog knows best.

I picked up a blind date and as we walked to the car, I joked "you know, I wasn't planning on taking you anywhere - I just thought we'd sit in the car and listen to the radio". She laughed along, but I thought it would be funny to push it a bit further. So I turned on the radio and we sat there in silence. 15 minutes later she said, "ok this is ridiculous" and proceeded to undo her seatbelt. I then threw the car into gear and took off. Unfortunately, there was a red light at the end of the block and she got out and walked back home.

Ok, this is probably the worst date for a girl I took out back in college. I went to pick her up and noticed that her neck and lower face was all red and splotchy (from being nervous). I tried to set her at ease by making a joke about it. I said, "Are you nervous or is that a birthmark?" I knew it came out totally wrong. It was a very quiet evening. She was very nice girl too.

I was supposed to go out with a boy when I was overseas for the summer. I left overseas 2 days after I broke my foot at my brothers wedding. The boy called the second that I landed and I was unable to pick up. He kept on calling for the next two days until I picked up - it was the worst conversation in the world. He told me that he could not wait to walk around town with someone that he really cared about (mind you, I never met him!). I apologized to to him for missing his phone calls, and he told me that I could make it up to him by sending him a bouquet of flowers. He then went on to tell me that he is a more sensitive kind of boy and that he loves being loved and loves getting flowers. He kept me on the phone for an entire hour telling me how well the conversation is going and that he could ...read morenot wait to finally go out with me- he said that he had been dreaming about dating overseas for his entire life-- I was kind of grossed out. At the end of the conversation I told him that I broke my foot and that I couldn't really do anything that involved walking- he stopped mid conversation and said "oh my gosh does that mean I am going out with a cripple?"!! I called our friend who set us up and told him to go jump in a lake.

So i let my friend set me up with a blind date, and i figured why not! She know's my taste. It started bad when he pulled up in a Geo, the windows would not roll down (it was June!) and he didn't have a radio =( but i didn't judge because the guy was a cutie and it could have been his grandmothers car for all i knew. We go out to a nice resturant and OMG it all went down hill from there! It was something that should have been on a show or movie i swear. To try to get the waiters attention he tapped on his wine glass with a knife enough to break it! Everyone turned like he was going to propose and i'm sure my brown face turned red. Once the waiter came this is his exact words "Do ya'll have a dollar menu? Or a new customer deal? Because this stuff is high! and I don't get paid until Friday." ...read more-No joke! I was already done with the date from there and then i offered to pick up the check. Too bad i wasn't even hungry then so i excused myself to call my so-called friend to cuss her out and come to find out it was my supposed to be dates LITTLE BROTHER doing a prank on his big brother... THANK GOODNESS!!!

I went out with this guy who leaned in way too close. It may not sound like a big deal, but an invasion of personal space can be very intrusive. I felt like I was in a crowded place! And his breath REEKED. I was dying.

This guy I really liked invited me over to watch videos. It turns out the videos were all of him and his friends playing golf. Oh, except for one of them, where they were shooting pool.

In college there was a group of us that used to hang out together in between classes. One day I thought we had all agreed to go try a new restaurant together. When I met at the rendezvous it turned out that it was just me and this other guy: what I thought had been a group thing turned out to be a date! I don’t know how he pulled that over on me. Turns out he was a EMT and he spent the entire 30 minute drive to the restaurant pointing out places on the highway and describing the horrific crashes he'd witnessed there. "Right here there was this motorcycle crash, dumb guy didn’t have a helmet and his head smeared down the lane, rubbing down like a pencil eraser! I found his brain in the median and only his jaw was left on his neck!" OMG. I had no appetite for dinner and had couldn't wait ...read moreto get away from this guy! It was a nightmare.

I meet this guy off a dating site, we wrote numerous letters and shared pictures before we finally agree to meet for dinner. The night of the date we meet at a really nice restaurant over looking the ocean. The guy was at least 50 pounds heavier than his pictures and he was wearing flipflops and to top it off he had dirty feet. As soon as he set down he started telling me how he thinks women should treat men and we should never tell a man he is wrong even if he is. We end up fighting the whole date. After about 90 minutes of this, I made an excuse to end the date. The day after, he had the nerve to call me to ask me out again. I reply with "you must be crazy if you think I would go out with you again."

Had been dating a guy for awhile. It was time to meet his folks. Started the trip with him blowing a stop sign. I mentioned this as a problem for me, so he blew another 3 stop signs, until I jumped out when he slowed down for the 4th. Was out in the country and it took me awhile to walk home. Wish I had been wearing gym shoes.

I met this guy named Ed and I brought him to the classy Hyatt lounge that I waitress at (I was off that night). He got way too drunk and began an altercation with the bartender. I was real embarrassed but he wasn't calming down. The manager asked him to leave and he pushed the manager! By this time I am wishing I was anywhere else. The police came and arrested him, and took his phone. I had to wait till the shift was over so a co-worker could give me a ride, and I had to find his parents number to call them and tell them what happened. They wanted to know why I couldn't have brought him home before something like this happened. I guess because I don't know them, I don't know Ed, and why would I have known this was gonna happen. I wish I hadn't brought a date to my place of work :( I strongly ...read moreadvise against it!

We went for a romantic walk on the beach, and I farted. Loudly. That was our first date. Our last one, too.

While out at a party, after more than a few drinks, I met a guy who seemed really interesting (don't they all under those circumstances!). I gave him my phone number and he called, so we agreed to meet out for brunch. I didn't want to give him my address since I didn't really know him. The day before we met, he asked if I could pick him up since his car was in the shop, so I agreed. I went to pick him up and he was dressed but really sloppy and hadn't shaved. He said that he would be ready in a few minutes and asked if I would sew a button on his jacket for him. What else could I say? He turned on TV for me- but it was a porn movie! He asked me if I liked it and said NO TURN IT OFF! Were were supposed to go to a fancy restaurant but he didn't make a reservation and they were full when ...read morehe finally called that day, so we ended up at Ground Round, a burger place. He ordered a salad with Green Goddess dressing and said he didn't like to talk while eating. I dropped him off and took off as fast as I could and never answered the phone again when he called. I never went out with anyone after a night on the town again!
