Dating can be one of the most fun pastimes in the world or the source of some of the weirdest things you’ll ever see. And not just weird as in “oh dear, we sat in awkward silence for, like, 15 seconds” weird. We mean weird as in somebody taking a stick of butter out of their pocket and eating it during the actual date. Are you intrigued yet?

Interesting "so how did you two fall in love" story you had to tell the fam when they asked on your first holiday together
First time my mom ever met my dad she was fresh out of a & year relationship, having called off her wedding three days before it happened and he was wearing her best friend's underwear as a hat. They were married 28 years till he passed in 2014
Imagine if it was the next one, that'd be perfect
Load More Replies...Be grateful. The woman that past mom's test might be a lampshade now.
HAHAHA, politics can make a break a relationship. So can religion. Maybe he was getting that out of the way first? Not smart, for sure, but hey lets give him the benefit of the doubt. Now, a fake arrest? Maybe just tell him you weren't interested first? But at least you went out safely, although a bad conversation is far from a threat.
"I was on a date and this woman was texting while I was talking. Then, out of nowhere, a cop comes in and arrests her after salad, but before the entree. I didn't have to pay for her meal."
I can understand it's awkward... but unless they're giving you stalkery vibes, try to be honest if possible, and say you just aren't interested.
Just saying no, or walking out isn’t always safe for girls. And I know the “not all men,” but we don’t know which men
Load More Replies...Speaking from experience, the strangest dates are almost always the very first time you go out with someone new. A lot of awkwardness and weirdness flow from the fact that you two don’t know each other well, aren’t comfortable around one another, not to mention that you’re not acting genuine.
In fact, it would be fair to say that guys and girls who lack confidence don’t start showing their true selves to one another until the third or fourth date. Until then, we’re all trying to impress one another with fake personas: over-exaggerating our strongest features while desperately trying to hide the fact that we have any flaws. (This also applies to starting at a new workplace or meeting friends of your friends—we all want to make the best possible impression, but we think the only way we can do this is by being fake.)
But because you didn't tell anyone about this, not even the cops, he now has a nice collection of lampshades made from the girls who didn't escape.
I have watched way too many 2020's to realize you were about to be murdered
Yeah, if that was all it took, I'd be dating like, most people with dogs.
Load More Replies...I made this same joke with a boyfriend later husband. I just didn't want to spoil my 50 euros straight hair done by a hairdresser. 🙄
At least you could have asked her if she was traditional or reverse mermaid.
That's a really nice thing to do though, isn't it? I mean if his friend mentioned he also liked them.
She is polite and he is really nice - why can't human interaction always be so considerate.
Nerd Fitness has some good advice when it comes to planning out your first date. You know, to reduce the awkwardness. We wholeheartedly agree with their idea that if it’s the first time you’re meeting them in real life, you shouldn’t opt for a long dinner or going to the movie theater. It’s too formal. It increases the chances of awkward silences way too much.
Instead, going for a cup of coffee is way more fun. It’s lively. And if the date’s turning sour or if the other person’s a total weirdo, you can always down your cup of coffee, scald your tongue, and run out the door shouting how you just remembered it’s your mom’s birthday today.
So in your version he just murders his grandpa? Hm.
Load More Replies...“Grandpa, don’t embarrass me! Oh, you’re gonna anyway!” *stab* “Dad, Grandpa’s dead!”
I'd be confessing that I don't like holding hands with people who don't use utensils.
Not me but a colleague told me about his date at work Monday morning. After he had paid the check for their dinner his date says she's gotta use the restroom. Goes, comes back a minute later, says there's a line and she'll wait. They go outside and without a word the woman disappears around the corner. Confused my colleague follows her and finds her squat peeing in the alley. (:
This doesn't really make much sense because I don't know of a denomination that asks if you accepted the LORD, AND goes to confession.
And that's where the line "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" originated.
Take a sip of tap water and say.. " it's true! I'm not attracted to you" and walk away..
Load More Replies...Well it’s been 33 years since I have been drinking tap water and I am still waiting to “turn” gay. 🙄
That's just phase one. Phase one: Turn frogs gay. Phase two: ???. Phase three: Profit!
Load More Replies...I would have said "Hey! You shouldn't drink bottled water. It turns you impotent and makes you stupid. Ooh..wait a minute...I think we're too late...."
Almost makes you wish there was something that you could spike his drinks with to turn him gay. How thick some people are.
S**t. He figured out the gay agenda. Gonna have to come up with another approach.
One other important thing is to. Not. Flake. Out. If you make plans to meet someone for a date, follow through. All too often we see guys and girls canceling plans at the last possible moment because of nerves, laziness, or both. Flaking out on plans (any plans) tells a lot about a person—not very pleasant things, mainly. So keep your promises. It’s always better to not make plans than to make ‘em and break ‘em.
Make it last forever, parenting never ends...
Load More Replies...That was clearly an attempt to get free stuff for her kids, on the antiquated idea that men must always pay...... Personally, I wouldn't have paid for her kids, and simply suggested we postpone (then cancel that postponement). Seriously, how entitled can she be?? :o
You must have foiled her cunning plan to make you baby daddy number 7.
In the UK there a family pubs, people come and eat with the whole family.
Load More Replies...Going to be hard to explain next time you use a condom (obviously with someone else).
OMG, talk about self confidence. I would have laughed until he walked out.
Surgeons spend most of their time around blood/guts and have to remain 100% calm and relaxed while holding a knife and cutting into flesh. Takes a special kinda person to pull all that off...
Load More Replies...He was lonely and just looking for someone to enjoy the movie with... kinda sad
maybe this is someone who is socially awkward and working on their interpersonal skills. maybe just needed human interaction. i think it’s lovely.
Load More Replies...Isn't this that... app I forget the name that you can date a girl/guy out, pay everything and still have to pay them for the companionship thingy?
It is conventional to give your "date" $50 upon completion of the evening, because there is word for this type of date... not sure they were on the same page.
Thank you, all I needed was the "pushing you down" part. My lawyer will take it from here.
omg the dude slept in the snow with 2 sprained ankles and not to mention bruises from falling down the hill lmao
Bruh what exactly was scaring her and why was her first reaction "I know! Let's push him down a f*cking hill!"? Like she was the one who suggested to walk home
I swear people put themselves through hell for the sake of it... Whyyyyyy
Load More Replies...why the heck did he bring his ex in the first place?! i would have just left and told them that they were both weird and deserve each other LOL
No Ex. No one needs to see what his previous relationship was. No Date.
Seeing as she's here to tell the tale, I'll take a wild stab in the dark (pun definitely intended) and say no.
Load More Replies...That's why us female types should always carried concealed weapons!
This is why everyone should take their OWN transport to and from the first dates!!! Jeez people!! :o
Oh hell no....I would have said o need to go home ASAP bc I'm about to have explosive diahrrea. I'm surprised you didn't end up on dateline
That happened to me with a taxi cab driver when I handed him the money. (during the drive he kept staring at me through the rearview mirror and I thought we were going to crash. Oh, and I'm a guy).
"Is that a knife on my thigh or are just just happy to see me?" "both!" Arhg.
It is called SCREAM AS LOUD AS YOU CAN, it brings the attendant to the arena for your immediAte attention.
I had to google it lol. It is a device for men who have been circumcised or suffered injury using a technique of tissue expansion, which causes new skin/foreskin to grow.
Load More Replies...I for sure mispronounce most French words. And maybe he'd say something more like "brye" or "brié"
Load More Replies...Well I bet he has a few stories about dating someone who sat by the wrong person.
Why would he go in without you? That's weird. Why not wait outside or in the lobby for you so you can go in together instead of expecting you to find him in a dark theatre?? That just seems inconsiderate!
so he couldn't wait for her in front of the theater? Like any man with manners would?????
Yeah cos texting 'I'm over here' is really helpful in a dark room full of people
Why would a random dude be so offended to move? You leave out the part about having violent gas?
He's probably seen it on some porn film and thinks it's a real thing 😕
Saw a self-defense video when an assailant puts his hands around your throat. Gently put your hand over his, grab his pinkie, then SNAP IT BACKWARD WITHOUT WARNING.
It’s one of those people who think you mean yes when you say no.
Ooh didn't think of that! Naughty naughty he got caughty
Load More Replies...Speak up! "You said you were paying." Then get the staff in the bar to stop him before he ditches you with the check.
oh god that is the worst. I went on a date with a guy who did this!! I had my gfs come get me lol
That's the worst thing I have ever heard....kind of your fault...would have peaced out after he asked you for cigs
That's what you get for trying to meet a good dude on Tinder. REALLY?
She obviously tried to impress you... Don't know if she was bold or insecure, but when anyone goes that far out of their way to impress someone, to discount them out of hand is a bit cold, no?
I like this, even though Mad Men is set in the 60’s. Honestly most of the clothes on that show are super classic and would still work now.
yeah… in the 50's would be more like Peggy Carter. still pretty awesome too
Load More Replies...It would be difficult to fall asleep around her or accept a drink you hadn't seen prepared.
Only risk to you is if you sleep really really quietly. So no worries until she's inevitably found out and locked up.
Can't go to any movie anymore without someone being on their phone the whole time or talking loudly. I don't bother wasting my money.
Theatres around here have all started to throw people out if they turn on their phones. I love it! :D
Load More Replies...Happened to me recently- some entitled blonde woman was in and off the entire film. When I politely called her on it after she screamed GET THE F$&@ OUT OF MY FACE B***H, I WAS RUNNING MY BUSINESS! ... in front of my mom and 89 yr old grandmother. A- holes like this should just spontaneously combust. It blows my mind how selfish and entitled some people are. Let's pray she never has kids.
I got the phone number of the front office of my local theater. When someone turns on their phone during a movie (not the previews or commercials) I phone the office and tell them the row #. At the current movie prices I won't tolerate it. I (we) go to the theater once a week.
So you use your phone to tell on someone using their phone?
Load More Replies...I was the house manager for a high school musical (it was Matilda), and I also helped build and design the set, everyone had been working really hard for MONTHS on this show and it was awesome, my job was to ask people not to be on their phones, and one night I saw a guy with his phone out with headphones on!!!!!!!!!! I discreetly walked up to him and said "I'm going to need you to turn off your phone and take your headphones off sir (this guy was my age and in 8th grade bullied me to the point that I didn't want to come to school)" he turned around and said "*BLEEP* off!" very loudly. I asked again and told him he would have to leave if he didn't get off his phone because he was being disrespectful to everyone who worked on the show. He said "*BLEEP* off!!! I paid for this seat! You can't kick me out! Besides, you're short what are you gonna do about it!" That is when the theater teacher who is a ripped man, walked over and said one word, "leave." He stood up and left without a word
There’s a special place in hell reserved for molesters and people who talk in the movies.
I'd have said, "Oh! There's an earthworm on your lap! Where did that come from?"
Elaine: He took it out! Jerry: He took it out? PS was in Seinfeld
So did you let him zip up first, or just boot him out of the car au naturel?
Could have said "I'm sorry I didn't realize we changed the subject to things that are tiny." Then tell him to get out.

Load More Replies...If you go on a date and don't talk at all, why would you go to his house to hang out? Doesn't sound like there was a connection at all so why prolong it.
WTF? Can't date anyone without mommy's approval. Dude needs to move out on his own...
No, son. She is not the one. So we are not sacrificing her to Cuthullu on our basement. Sorry. Take her home
I met a guy on a dating app once. We texted back and forth to get to know each other. I asked him what he did for a living. He said he worked at a huge military facility that employs people from all over the world. I said, "Oh, really? My dad works there too." I joked and said, "So, do you happen to know _______?" No answer for a little bit...then he replies, "Uh, yeah. I'm looking right at him. He's my supervisor." And....that was the end of that!
That would make me super disappointed in him, honestly. If you're an adult, you're an adult. She was going off to COLLEGE, not f*****g high school or something.
I mean...TOXIC masculinity and white imperialism did quite a number on society. (Not all masculinity is toxic.)
So, I'm vegan and here's the thing... vegans get real f*****g judgy on each other all the time. I was told I'm not a "real" vegan because I own a cat (who are carnivorous and cannot survive on a plant-based diet). Some people are just looking for reasons to be angry all the time.
Load More Replies...My cousin was a vegan fo awhile. They aren’t all bad. As with lots of things the most obnoxious are the loudest and ruin it for the rest.
Load More Replies...The misspelling of compilations is the biggest problem.
Load More Replies...Why did he have floaties if he couldn't swim? He just liked... wearing them?
I don't think so...I think he really lis saying he wants to write in his journal (diary).
Load More Replies...Why would you still pay for her order? I would tell her she pays for what she ordered and ate.
wait, what?? Obviously??? What would have been obvious, is for you to leave her to pay for herself, after openly mocking you and telling you she's using you to get a free diner! I really don't get that one
PLEASE, do NOT go to expensive restaurants on the 1st date. If a lady is not pleased with a decent restaurant for a 1st date, she is not worth your time. No fast food, but OMG $300. I prefer coffee shops for a 1st meeting, you can chat, a gentleman / lady can purchase drinks for both with no expectations.
La agua es vida? That would be a very poor spanish. water, in spanish is femenine, but as it starts with a tonic "a" in singular you use the masculin article "El". So the correct way to write that sentence is: "el agua es vida".
He should have told you. Or didn't you tell him what you were going to do?
I've had the opposite predicament - I've had to emphasize to people (even close family) that when I say I need to stop, that means RIGHT NOW, not in 45 minutes.
It would be much weirder to ask her for the light bulbs on a first date, than for the tip? Which is a reasonable contribution she could have proposed herself anyhow. He seems practical and sensible, just not clear on humans.
Say 30+, till 24 I could barely eat every day with the alimony and scholarship I had to live. Once my shower broke and I spent the next few months only showering at the university, cos I had no money to buy a new one

What is the point of swalling with no tasting? I love food, because of the pleasure of the taste!
"I only date guys that break 3-4 telephones, minimum." "OK, hang on, off to the shops..."
The difference between being poor & being cheap is that the first knows exactly what money they have and where it is (and they don't have much). This display shows enough to say "this friendship isn't going to work out" and turn back.
Yes, because some people don't respect artists and donate only cents to see art.

My husband and I used to go camping by the river with a bottle of vodka. Good times. A huge raccoon almost ran into my legs because I guess I had blinded it with my flashlight and I literally had to jump straight over it. Another time I was drunk and tried to swim across (the Tennessee river).
His temper tantrum and sending d*** pic, combined with your friend's warning, make me think he has a violent temper and/or he's committed date rape.

Load More Replies...i thought Mongolian thought singing is a surefire way to get a date. she proves me wrong.
He was confused. He thought he was on a date with Niles and Frasier Crane.
What date was this? Because I feel like fetishes should be mentioned at some point, but not like... first date or something.
Seems like that might have made it just a touch easier to declare yourself as who you are.
This story made me want to become a lesbian as well. ;). I guess my overarching question is what did these people say to convince them ever to say yes to a date. People can't be this desperate for a date can they?
I've noticed that a lot of mormon guys are very possessive. What's up with that?
Actually...not too weird. He was probably so nervous that if he ate, he was going to throw up. I've seen it happen before. He should have chosen a date location that didn't involve eating.
Yes, like the poor fellow in the other story who farted AND threw up! I'd be scared to eat too! At least he admitted he was nervous and didn't try to put it back on her.
Load More Replies...Depends on the situation. When we were dating, I let several of my husband's friends sit up front while I sat in the back. Some are taller than me and so the front is more comfortable for them, one gets carsick in the back, sometimes they needed to give him directions, etc. We have been married over 27 years and I still let these friends and others sit in front. If he was so considerate in every other way, give him a break! There may be a good reason for letting the other person sit up front.
She works for a pyramid company (scam where you con people into recruiting more and more people).
MLM is something like Amway or other pyramid scheme operations. People tend to get their "friends" or acquaintances over on the pretext of a social event and then hard-sells them into becoming part of it. (These MLM things are scams where only way you make money is to pull more people in -- only the people at the top end up profiting.)
Load More Replies...I don't get it? Is the weird part is walking A FULL MILE & BACK on a date, wow like 2x 15min? Seems to me that's a relaxed, natural, and free way to get to know someone; much better than as sitting in a public place with only a drink to fill the empty spaces (or worse, silently in the dark in a movie).
how did she make you order soup? i'm sure you could have said any other words when the waiter asked what you wanted.

Man, it was at least one mile, and these are the States
Load More Replies...And neither of you had the guts to tell the boss that you're not at work?

At first I honestly thought 'murdwring' was a type of billionaire I hadn't heard of, haha! Dumb dumb
a lot of the time, if cops have bigger worries there not going to be bothered by some pot smoking.. years ago I was in a s****y situation where my ex beat up my car (stupid I know.. he literally beat the sh*t out of it, flat tires, windows smashed, by the time I came outside he was trying to rip the steering wheel off).. needless to say he took off. As upset as I was, I sparked up a joint and started trying to salvage what I could of my car. in the midst of me smoking my j a cop car pulled up behind me (he caused a lot of commotion beating my poor car), i didn't have much time to react so i jus sort of tossed the j to the side, it was pretty obvious and the thing was still burning. The cop came up asked me a few questions regarding the state of my car, she questioned the smell of weed and i told her honestly that i was stressed out and i had been the one smoking and her response was "as long as your not out here selling it i don't care".
Load More Replies...If she had actually been ugly, she's be in jail for stalking, but she's hot and easy, so the guy is happy.
I like that it starts with I seen this guy. I have seen him too. But what would be better is saying that you saw him. #grammarpolice. Also, seems you are fishing for compliments. Don't you get enough by just being you?
Is this Catfish? By her name, Delanie Adams, and photo she's Miss Michigan Teenage Royalty. Google it.
I mean... dude should have had some serious blowing skills at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
bruh she just didn't understand. she's not mean. I bet all you guys have done something you regret or said something kinda stupid when you didn't understand. y'all are the ones being mean about this sayin " you're a horrible person, guess he dodged a bullet" everybody needs to calm the f**k down and have a laugh
Load More Replies...Why is he suddenly a predator? He didn't do anything weird, did he? It would have been fine if he was 26-28, which is also an adult, and you were too, but because he's older (and you didn't check, so clearly you didn't care), he's suddenly a predator? You're not a good person.
You know the "Date a person your own age" thing is fairly new. It was common place for women to marry men a lot older than them, have their kids, then when the husband kicked the bucket, marry a man years younger than her. Why should age matter as long as you are both adults?
Because women usually ended up dying in childbirth.
Load More Replies...Bruh dude she's not a bad person. she can't definitively say what he could have done but you can't definitively say that's she's a bad person. her feelings are valid, and if she felt weirded out by dating a guy 16 years older than her, than ok! it's not your job to be telling anyone wether or not they're a bad person if you don't even know them.
My second best story is this one: I was set up with a guy and we met a local restaurant for dinner. When I pulled up, he looked over my car and asked me how much I paid for it. I told him that I got a good deal and laughed. He WOULD NOT DROP IT. Over appetizers, he DEMANDED to know how much I paid for the car. So I gave him an "about this much" answer. And he told me that one of the first things I was going to do was return the car because I had no business driving a car that nice or that expensive unless I was a whore that wanted to attract to attention (keep in mind, I drive a grey Chevy. Not flashy, not extravagant). Then he told me all of the other ways that I would be submitting to him including calling in sick from my job when he needed me with him. I calmly opened up my wallet, placed $20 on the table to cover whatever I had eaten or drank and walked out. He followed me outside, red-faced and screaming at me to get back in there. I got in my fancy car and drove off.
This happened many years ago. Knew a guy in school, he called me up and asked if I wanted to go to a party. He picked me up and as we walked in his back door, he tried to usher me into his bedroom for the "party". I made a beeline into the living room and saw one person there. His roommate was sitting on the couch in a beat up poncho, drinking coffee. I sat and talked to him for 6 hrs. at one point he said to me " I could marry you." I told him he was high, laughed and woke up my "date" and said take me home. The coffee drinking roommate and I have been married for almost 40 years now. So good things are possible.
Oh, my. That is one of THE BEST "how did you meet" stories I've ever heard/read.
Load More Replies...Yeah! So I have this date with a hot girl I met and I say I´ll pick her up at six. She dolled heself up to the n-th degree, makeup, smokey eyes, lipstick, the works and I turn up on my motorbike. Half an hour later she takes of the helmet and looks like that scene in Conan where they have the face paint on. I also accidently forgot my wallet and she had to pay for the fuel. We got married a year later.
When I lived in college apartments, my neighbors were two girls in the Early Childhood Education Program. One of them asked me to come over to shield her from a guy that was a family friend. I asked her why and she said "The last time he was here, he said he really really liked me and then he started biting the curtains in the living room." I said, "then why did you invite him over?" She said "I didn't. He invited himself over. I'm not sure I can say no. My sister is dating his brother." I told her I had this. When he came over, I stared at him constantly, like I was trying catch him doing something illegal. He felt so uncomfortable, he left after 10 minutes and never invited himself over again.
Had a classmate that gave me a ride to a friends house one afternoon. He lived in the same complex as she did. He let me come over to his house first because my friend wasn't home yet. He showed me his concert posters he'd collected over the years. While there, I noticed his bed had wooden posts with large eyelet screws in them. I think nothing of it and head to my friends house. Then I realized those eyelets were because he liked to tie girls up. He kept asking me out. I kept declining. At the end of the year, he writes in my yearbook "My writing isn't so hot, but you are. Let's hook up." I tell you..sometimes there's not enough soap in the world.....
Load More Replies...I went on a date with this co-worker once and he wouldn't stop talking about his ex. He confessed he'd go back to her if she asked. I told him he should go talk to her and see if they could fix things. I thought it was pretty obvious I didn't want to have a relationship with him... Next day he asks me for a walk during our lunchbreak and 'gently' gave me the news he was breaking up with me, because his ex-girlfriend took him back. He then stared at me, clearly expecting me to be devastated and/or cry. Dude, it was one date and I told you to go back to your ex at the end of it, why do you think I'd be upset now? I then dated and later married our mutual boss :)
I once went on a date with a girl who ordered fries, and licked all the salt off them but didn't eat them. She said she just liked the taste but didn't want to actually eat them. Red flag - last I heard she had a near miss with a hunter because I think she found his deer lick in the woods
Arrived at the bar where my date was waiting for me (first date). Five minutes into the date, a group of women enters the bar and sit at the table next to us. He then tells me he needs to go to the restroom. Five minutes later he texts me from the street telling me that the women are his gf's friends and he can't be seen with me. And YET he insists that we could go to my place, because his daughter's spending the weekend with him. Blocked his cheater a*s on the spot
I matched with a guy online. We met for coffee early on a Sunday afternoon and hit it off pretty well so we decided to go walking around the mall for a while. He insisted that we stop in a shoe store and while there, he proceeded to offer to buy me shoes. I politely refused saying that I didn't know him well enough to accept gifts and I would really be uncomfortable with it. He then tells me that the shoes wouldn't be mine to keep, he wanted me to wear them for the rest of the date and then give them to him at the end for him to take home. Yeah, I noped it right out of that situation.
Had a date with a girl who worked across my street (met on happn) Got for coffee and the conversation went very well until she told me she got 3 children with 3 different dads. No biggie, but then throu the date kept recieving calls from the 3 guys and argued for 20-45 minutes with each one. Red flag to me. Still friends but never went out again.
First date with this Tinder guy. He had Hebrew in his profile so I knew he was Jewish. What I didn't know until mid meal is that he very recently left Hasidism (VERY Orthodox Judaism) and has 8 kids. Okay, unusual but he seemed friendly so we kept hanging out. Then we're taking a walk and he tells me that when the mohel circumcised him, he accidentally nicked the head of his penis. Who tells a first date that?!?
My second best story is this one: I was set up with a guy and we met a local restaurant for dinner. When I pulled up, he looked over my car and asked me how much I paid for it. I told him that I got a good deal and laughed. He WOULD NOT DROP IT. Over appetizers, he DEMANDED to know how much I paid for the car. So I gave him an "about this much" answer. And he told me that one of the first things I was going to do was return the car because I had no business driving a car that nice or that expensive unless I was a whore that wanted to attract to attention (keep in mind, I drive a grey Chevy. Not flashy, not extravagant). Then he told me all of the other ways that I would be submitting to him including calling in sick from my job when he needed me with him. I calmly opened up my wallet, placed $20 on the table to cover whatever I had eaten or drank and walked out. He followed me outside, red-faced and screaming at me to get back in there. I got in my fancy car and drove off.
This happened many years ago. Knew a guy in school, he called me up and asked if I wanted to go to a party. He picked me up and as we walked in his back door, he tried to usher me into his bedroom for the "party". I made a beeline into the living room and saw one person there. His roommate was sitting on the couch in a beat up poncho, drinking coffee. I sat and talked to him for 6 hrs. at one point he said to me " I could marry you." I told him he was high, laughed and woke up my "date" and said take me home. The coffee drinking roommate and I have been married for almost 40 years now. So good things are possible.
Oh, my. That is one of THE BEST "how did you meet" stories I've ever heard/read.
Load More Replies...Yeah! So I have this date with a hot girl I met and I say I´ll pick her up at six. She dolled heself up to the n-th degree, makeup, smokey eyes, lipstick, the works and I turn up on my motorbike. Half an hour later she takes of the helmet and looks like that scene in Conan where they have the face paint on. I also accidently forgot my wallet and she had to pay for the fuel. We got married a year later.
When I lived in college apartments, my neighbors were two girls in the Early Childhood Education Program. One of them asked me to come over to shield her from a guy that was a family friend. I asked her why and she said "The last time he was here, he said he really really liked me and then he started biting the curtains in the living room." I said, "then why did you invite him over?" She said "I didn't. He invited himself over. I'm not sure I can say no. My sister is dating his brother." I told her I had this. When he came over, I stared at him constantly, like I was trying catch him doing something illegal. He felt so uncomfortable, he left after 10 minutes and never invited himself over again.
Had a classmate that gave me a ride to a friends house one afternoon. He lived in the same complex as she did. He let me come over to his house first because my friend wasn't home yet. He showed me his concert posters he'd collected over the years. While there, I noticed his bed had wooden posts with large eyelet screws in them. I think nothing of it and head to my friends house. Then I realized those eyelets were because he liked to tie girls up. He kept asking me out. I kept declining. At the end of the year, he writes in my yearbook "My writing isn't so hot, but you are. Let's hook up." I tell you..sometimes there's not enough soap in the world.....
Load More Replies...I went on a date with this co-worker once and he wouldn't stop talking about his ex. He confessed he'd go back to her if she asked. I told him he should go talk to her and see if they could fix things. I thought it was pretty obvious I didn't want to have a relationship with him... Next day he asks me for a walk during our lunchbreak and 'gently' gave me the news he was breaking up with me, because his ex-girlfriend took him back. He then stared at me, clearly expecting me to be devastated and/or cry. Dude, it was one date and I told you to go back to your ex at the end of it, why do you think I'd be upset now? I then dated and later married our mutual boss :)
I once went on a date with a girl who ordered fries, and licked all the salt off them but didn't eat them. She said she just liked the taste but didn't want to actually eat them. Red flag - last I heard she had a near miss with a hunter because I think she found his deer lick in the woods
Arrived at the bar where my date was waiting for me (first date). Five minutes into the date, a group of women enters the bar and sit at the table next to us. He then tells me he needs to go to the restroom. Five minutes later he texts me from the street telling me that the women are his gf's friends and he can't be seen with me. And YET he insists that we could go to my place, because his daughter's spending the weekend with him. Blocked his cheater a*s on the spot
I matched with a guy online. We met for coffee early on a Sunday afternoon and hit it off pretty well so we decided to go walking around the mall for a while. He insisted that we stop in a shoe store and while there, he proceeded to offer to buy me shoes. I politely refused saying that I didn't know him well enough to accept gifts and I would really be uncomfortable with it. He then tells me that the shoes wouldn't be mine to keep, he wanted me to wear them for the rest of the date and then give them to him at the end for him to take home. Yeah, I noped it right out of that situation.
Had a date with a girl who worked across my street (met on happn) Got for coffee and the conversation went very well until she told me she got 3 children with 3 different dads. No biggie, but then throu the date kept recieving calls from the 3 guys and argued for 20-45 minutes with each one. Red flag to me. Still friends but never went out again.
First date with this Tinder guy. He had Hebrew in his profile so I knew he was Jewish. What I didn't know until mid meal is that he very recently left Hasidism (VERY Orthodox Judaism) and has 8 kids. Okay, unusual but he seemed friendly so we kept hanging out. Then we're taking a walk and he tells me that when the mohel circumcised him, he accidentally nicked the head of his penis. Who tells a first date that?!?
