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?

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.
That's a really nice thing to do though, isn't it? I mean if his friend mentioned he also liked them.
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.
I'd be confessing that I don't like holding hands with people who don't use utensils.
Take a sip of tap water and say.. " it's true! I'm not attracted to you" and walk away..

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!

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.
If this guy ever sees the documentary "Dr Strangelove"... I wish I could watch his head explode.
Ok so if tap water is gay all the animals in the world would just be humping the same gender...Yeah no...Also wtf gay frogs?
All the rich people living in places with tap water would be gay too.

There is no way I could listen to Jones for one minute, never mind 20 minutes!
That is the best! I'd seriously hang out with that guy for ages. He sounds like someone who'd make you feel like a success just by comparison
I would've left after the 'tap water makes people gay comment'. Seems kind of impossible and also, what's wrong with gays?
I filter my water, but not because it might turn me gay, but because of all the chemicals they put into the system.
I'm impressed she stayed 20+ minutes out of sick anthropological fascination... probably filming all the time. If not, I'm worried.
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.
He was lonely and just looking for someone to enjoy the movie with... kinda sad
Well I bet he has a few stories about dating someone who sat by the wrong person.
It would be difficult to fall asleep around her or accept a drink you hadn't seen prepared.
He should have told you. Or didn't you tell him what you were going to do?
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.
If you ended up in the woods, drunk, with a guy you didn't really know, I don't think weird is the problem. You gotta be more careful out there girl.
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.
it's weird because it's not typical but not weird in a bad way cus it seems everything worked out (;
i thought Mongolian thought singing is a surefire way to get a date. she proves me wrong.
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.
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.
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).
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).
You drove separately... to the business next door? Am I missing something? Why did you not walk...
And neither of you had the guts to tell the boss that you're not at work?
Not the worst one here, more like the two of you had different expectations.
So many warning signs and you just go up to his room? Do you WANT to get killed?
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.
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.

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.....

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?!?
There was a guy my cousin was really interested in and after quite a while he finally asked her to go out for dinner with him. He picks her up, and they get to the restaurant and when they go in he sees her to a table with someone already there and introduced her to his girlfriend.
Thank God I met my "last first kiss" 12+ years ago. But while still online dating I agreed to meet a guy at my local hangout (owner & bartenders were all friends, so I felt safe). I showed up first and ordered a glass of wine. Guy shows up and it's really obvious that his profile picture is AT LEAST 10 years old. He was still nice looking, but that's a red flag right there. So, we start chatting & I asked what line of work he was in. In this really snide/snarky tone he says, "Why? Are you trying to figure out how much money I make? Maybe I should just show you my bank statement". I literally threw a $5 on the table to cover my wine and walked out (around the block just waiting for him to leave). I have no time for jackasses like that.
Talk about a chip on the shoulder! Holy cow. Asking what someone does for a living is very common ice-breaker (in the US where I live, at least).
Load More Replies... Met a really nice guy at one of my favorite gay dance clubs. We're making out and this guy comes up and asks, "Wanna see something?" He was okay looking, so I said, "Yeah." He opened his jacket and there was a gun in the waistband of his jeans. The guy I met didn't hesitate: grabbed the gun and threw it out of the way, then elbowed the guy in the throat and pushed him to the ground face down, bent one of his arms around his back and sat on him. He yelled: "Call the cops!" and told me to find something to throw over the gun, don't let anyone touch it. Fortunately a leather man walked up and offered him a pair of handcuffs. Yes, I did reward him for his heroism.
Damn! Props to your make-out buddy. Edit: sorry just realized this post is 2 years old 😅

A guy sent me messages, took my number from uni bcs he was working with tbe student service, asked me out for coffee. I came, we were having normal convo, then he said I wrote you a poem. It was some post-modern c**p, I politely said thank you, wrapped the date shortly after. He kept stalking me for months later, don't know why I didn't report him, but after I really got fed up with it I threatened to call the cops, and he stopped. ///// this one happened to an assistant at my uni, but I have to share- another assistant pressured her to go for a dinner with him (she went to see him to get some papers she needed), they went for dinner, and in the middle he said brb and left. She sat there for more than an hour bcs she didn't want to be stuck with the bill, and afterwards he actually returned, after he went home, had a bath, shaved and changed clothes. Still wondered why she got mad.
How rude. Dude could have said "Hey..I don't know about you, but I'm having a great time..I'd really like to continue this at a pub or something. How about if I drop you at home while I run back to my place for a chance to shave, shower and get some fresh clothes on and I'll pick you up in about an hour?" If she said yes, great..if she said no..no worries. But at least he wouldn't come off as some kind of jerk.

He'd decided he needed a double bed so with no explanation took me mattress shopping on our first date. Had to order the bed frame in but took the mattress in the back of his Ute (pickup). I lay on the mattress while he drove me around his farm. First child born 9 months later. 14th wedding anniversary in April.
Weirdest date was around 1985 with a guy I met at Target. Our second date at his house (with his family). He tells me his first cousin died, who had been in love with. Doesn't bother me much, since in most societies, not considered taboo, but weird that he would admit that, given the US view on it. What did weird me out was his insistence that I was "just like her". Then, at a certain hour, the entire family gathers in the living room while the adults smoked pot. It was apparently a family ritual. He looked very much like Eric Stoltz.
Met a guy outside my local grocery. Really cute & we started chatting. Like an IDIOT I invited him to my house for dinner the next night. He rode his bike and asked if he could take a shower before we ate. Um, okaaaaay. I was making dinner, he was standing at the breakfast bar. I glanced over and had an enormous erection (like, peeking over the top of his shorts). Creepy. After dinner we were sitting in the living room drinking wine. I was asking him some very basic questions (where'd you grow up, parents? siblings? REALLY basic first date questions) and he tells me I'm interrogating him. THEN tries to kiss me. No, that's not how I roll. He literally grabbed the chair next to my front door and turned it around so his back was facing me, and proceeded to put his shoes on, stood up and just walked out. F*****g bizarre. The REALLY weird part was that we worked at the same hospital, and although I had never noticed him before, I basically ran into him every day thereafter.
I went on a date with a guy that had been chatting me up for a long while. I didn't think he was really my type, but he seemed sweet and was very persistent about wanting to go out. I figured why not and agreed to dinner. He got there a little after me and seemed, off. I chalked it up to him being nervous and moved on. First thing he did was order chardonnay, which is perfectly fine, but he was chewing gum. He proceeded to drink his wine...while chewing gum. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. Sip. Sip. Sip. Gross. As the conversation wore on I started to realize he wasn't making eye contact with me. Like at all. So much so that I started to get self conscious myself and I started to feel the urge to just get up and leave. It's super strange to have someone answer a question or ask you a question while looking at the wall. Date finally over we went our separate ways. He said he had a nice time and proceeded to send me nudes. I didn't respond.
My college professor told us he was set up on a date and the girl ordered the most expensive thing on the menu, and top shelf margaritas. He said she was really rude, so he stopped her from ordering another drink, paid for the check and called her an Uber. He always had funny stories to tell.
everntually he peels out on my parents front lawn. The next morning i get a message from him he had a great time on our date and wants to see me again. I said no you didn't!! You peeled out on my parents lawn! He lied and said no he never did that and i told him i saw him do it with my own eyes, he said yeah ok he was angry cause the date went badly. I blocked him after, thankful ly he didn't bother me after that
When I first started testing the dating waters people met on ICQ (kind of like msn chat). Well I had befriended a fellow on there and he seemed quite nice. After 6 months we traded pictures of ourselves, he wasnt really my type but i decided to give him a chance since we got on so well. He showed up to pick me up and well, he had very obviously sent me a fake picture. He was cross eyed quite severly and had a hunch on the upper back. I felt tricked, but I still went out with him. We went to the movies with some of my friends (because i didn't want to risk something dangerous) He didn't speak a word the entire date except for saying no when i offered him some of my movie snacks. At the end of the date he drops me off at home and asks me what we should do next. I told him he should go home and that this was not a pleasant experience. He agreed and walked to his car. I sat in my front upstairs window and watched him in his car just sitting there for 30 minutes!! .....
I went to Year 12 Formal as a whole group with my friends. We had a long table and this one guy that I'm sorta friends with sat between me and the rest of my friends, so I was stuck either talking to him and only him or shouting across the table. He told me he liked my nails and asked if he could see up close and then grabbed my hand and held it close-ish to his face and complimented them, and then did it four more times through the night. A week later through messenger he complimented me and said that "If I didn't have a thing going right now, I woulda asked you out on Formal night, what would you have said?" He was in a relationship with another girl from my class and had been for 3 months. I politely told him I would have said no, as I was just graduating school, and he said ok. Through constant messaging, he kept saying we should hang out sometime, tryna convince me by saying it would be at a mutual friend's house. Next message was just a hi, notifications still there, 2 years now.
I agreed to go out with this guy who worked at the same place I did. We were going to play miniature golf. He comes to pick me up and he informs me that his brother and his friends will be dropping us off. That was odd but I was too polite to tell him see ya and go back into the house. His brother and friends came to fetch us at the end of the night and drove me home. I have to say they were all very nice but it was still very uncomfortable being the only female in the car with 4 guys you don't really know. Needless to say that was the only date we went on.
Another weird date (many years ago), second date, I go to this guy's place for New Year's Eve. He's rooming with his sister. They get into a huge fight which spills into the apartment hallways. He leads me into the laundry room and after a minute says, "Stay here! I'll be right back!" I was still sitting there kind of scared 25-30 minutes later and finally wandered out to find out what was going on. There had been some fight about money stuffed in the ceiling and things had been thrown. I left and never saw him again.
Well....I am 35 years old and two years ago, I had my first hook-up via a dating app. She seemed like a nice girl, not really my type, but because I was horny and wanted to have "my first dating app hook up" I agreed to come over. It seemed she lived in a big a*s house with her family. It was around 10pm when we entered the house. There was a certain smell...and everything was dark, old and creepy. It has 3 floors and as we move up the stairs, the smell intensified. Then I saw some wheelchairs (yes...plural) and one of those wheelchair-toilet things, where you can take out the p**s/poop-bucket to clean it. It's like a mobile toilet for old people in wheelchairs. The smell was terrible. A mixture out of p**s and this kind of sweetish smell, that you can smell from people with intense diabetes. Smelled like death and as everything was dark...it really creeped me out. Then we walked on, and she lived at the top floor, direclty under the roof. Then another smell hit me.
it smelled like in a zoo-store. She had hamsters, rats, a snake and a cat. The floor was covered in hay and there was an old, selfbuild door, like you sometimes have on garden-sheds or basements with a lot of locks on them. The door looked very fragile and the amount of locks looked kinda weird. I was totally freaked out. Strangely her room was kind of clean and actually nice. She had a nice gaming set up, some dildos were lying around on the floor and it seemed quite normal up there. Still...I was afraid. I actually felt threatend there and afraid that in the next seconds, some "the hills have eyes" mutant with an axe might appear and slaughter me...I really was nervous. She kinda asked me what I liked sexually and after we exchanged our preferences, we started to make out. I never had such problems to relax and get one up. We tried and tried....

Why so many people use Internet sites to meet new people? I truly don't get it. I'm 34. Ok I live in a big city, so it is very easy to meet new people. And yes, I am no introvert so, I guess for some people it's more doable online. But I find it quite odd and quite dangerous. Just my opinion. :)
I live in a rural area and it's reeeeally hard to meet other singles, especially as a lesbian. My gf and I met on Tinder almost two years ago and we are going strong.

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?!?
There was a guy my cousin was really interested in and after quite a while he finally asked her to go out for dinner with him. He picks her up, and they get to the restaurant and when they go in he sees her to a table with someone already there and introduced her to his girlfriend.
Thank God I met my "last first kiss" 12+ years ago. But while still online dating I agreed to meet a guy at my local hangout (owner & bartenders were all friends, so I felt safe). I showed up first and ordered a glass of wine. Guy shows up and it's really obvious that his profile picture is AT LEAST 10 years old. He was still nice looking, but that's a red flag right there. So, we start chatting & I asked what line of work he was in. In this really snide/snarky tone he says, "Why? Are you trying to figure out how much money I make? Maybe I should just show you my bank statement". I literally threw a $5 on the table to cover my wine and walked out (around the block just waiting for him to leave). I have no time for jackasses like that.
Talk about a chip on the shoulder! Holy cow. Asking what someone does for a living is very common ice-breaker (in the US where I live, at least).

He opened his jacket and there was a gun in the waistband of his jeans. The guy I met didn't hesitate: grabbed the gun and threw it out of the way, then elbowed the guy in the throat and pushed him to the ground face down, bent one of his arms around his back and sat on him. He yelled: "Call the cops!" and told me to find something to throw over the gun, don't let anyone touch it. Fortunately a leather man walked up and offered him a pair of handcuffs. Yes, I did reward him for his heroism.
Damn! Props to your make-out buddy. Edit: sorry just realized this post is 2 years old 😅
Load More Replies... A guy sent me messages, took my number from uni bcs he was working with tbe student service, asked me out for coffee. I came, we were having normal convo, then he said I wrote you a poem. It was some post-modern c**p, I politely said thank you, wrapped the date shortly after. He kept stalking me for months later, don't know why I didn't report him, but after I really got fed up with it I threatened to call the cops, and he stopped. ///// this one happened to an assistant at my uni, but I have to share- another assistant pressured her to go for a dinner with him (she went to see him to get some papers she needed), they went for dinner, and in the middle he said brb and left. She sat there for more than an hour bcs she didn't want to be stuck with the bill, and afterwards he actually returned, after he went home, had a bath, shaved and changed clothes. Still wondered why she got mad.
How rude. Dude could have said "Hey..I don't know about you, but I'm having a great time..I'd really like to continue this at a pub or something. How about if I drop you at home while I run back to my place for a chance to shave, shower and get some fresh clothes on and I'll pick you up in about an hour?" If she said yes, great..if she said no..no worries. But at least he wouldn't come off as some kind of jerk.

Had to order the bed frame in but took the mattress in the back of his Ute (pickup). I lay on the mattress while he drove me around his farm. First child born 9 months later. 14th wedding anniversary in April.
Weirdest date was around 1985 with a guy I met at Target. Our second date at his house (with his family). He tells me his first cousin died, who had been in love with. Doesn't bother me much, since in most societies, not considered taboo, but weird that he would admit that, given the US view on it. What did weird me out was his insistence that I was "just like her". Then, at a certain hour, the entire family gathers in the living room while the adults smoked pot. It was apparently a family ritual. He looked very much like Eric Stoltz.
Met a guy outside my local grocery. Really cute & we started chatting. Like an IDIOT I invited him to my house for dinner the next night. He rode his bike and asked if he could take a shower before we ate. Um, okaaaaay. I was making dinner, he was standing at the breakfast bar. I glanced over and had an enormous erection (like, peeking over the top of his shorts). Creepy. After dinner we were sitting in the living room drinking wine. I was asking him some very basic questions (where'd you grow up, parents? siblings? REALLY basic first date questions) and he tells me I'm interrogating him. THEN tries to kiss me. No, that's not how I roll. He literally grabbed the chair next to my front door and turned it around so his back was facing me, and proceeded to put his shoes on, stood up and just walked out. F*****g bizarre. The REALLY weird part was that we worked at the same hospital, and although I had never noticed him before, I basically ran into him every day thereafter.
I went on a date with a guy that had been chatting me up for a long while. I didn't think he was really my type, but he seemed sweet and was very persistent about wanting to go out. I figured why not and agreed to dinner. He got there a little after me and seemed, off. I chalked it up to him being nervous and moved on. First thing he did was order chardonnay, which is perfectly fine, but he was chewing gum. He proceeded to drink his wine...while chewing gum. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. Sip. Sip. Sip. Gross. As the conversation wore on I started to realize he wasn't making eye contact with me. Like at all. So much so that I started to get self conscious myself and I started to feel the urge to just get up and leave. It's super strange to have someone answer a question or ask you a question while looking at the wall. Date finally over we went our separate ways. He said he had a nice time and proceeded to send me nudes. I didn't respond.
My college professor told us he was set up on a date and the girl ordered the most expensive thing on the menu, and top shelf margaritas. He said she was really rude, so he stopped her from ordering another drink, paid for the check and called her an Uber. He always had funny stories to tell.
everntually he peels out on my parents front lawn. The next morning i get a message from him he had a great time on our date and wants to see me again. I said no you didn't!! You peeled out on my parents lawn! He lied and said no he never did that and i told him i saw him do it with my own eyes, he said yeah ok he was angry cause the date went badly. I blocked him after, thankful ly he didn't bother me after that
When I first started testing the dating waters people met on ICQ (kind of like msn chat). Well I had befriended a fellow on there and he seemed quite nice. After 6 months we traded pictures of ourselves, he wasnt really my type but i decided to give him a chance since we got on so well. He showed up to pick me up and well, he had very obviously sent me a fake picture. He was cross eyed quite severly and had a hunch on the upper back. I felt tricked, but I still went out with him. We went to the movies with some of my friends (because i didn't want to risk something dangerous) He didn't speak a word the entire date except for saying no when i offered him some of my movie snacks. At the end of the date he drops me off at home and asks me what we should do next. I told him he should go home and that this was not a pleasant experience. He agreed and walked to his car. I sat in my front upstairs window and watched him in his car just sitting there for 30 minutes!! .....
I went to Year 12 Formal as a whole group with my friends. We had a long table and this one guy that I'm sorta friends with sat between me and the rest of my friends, so I was stuck either talking to him and only him or shouting across the table. He told me he liked my nails and asked if he could see up close and then grabbed my hand and held it close-ish to his face and complimented them, and then did it four more times through the night. A week later through messenger he complimented me and said that "If I didn't have a thing going right now, I woulda asked you out on Formal night, what would you have said?" He was in a relationship with another girl from my class and had been for 3 months. I politely told him I would have said no, as I was just graduating school, and he said ok. Through constant messaging, he kept saying we should hang out sometime, tryna convince me by saying it would be at a mutual friend's house. Next message was just a hi, notifications still there, 2 years now.
I agreed to go out with this guy who worked at the same place I did. We were going to play miniature golf. He comes to pick me up and he informs me that his brother and his friends will be dropping us off. That was odd but I was too polite to tell him see ya and go back into the house. His brother and friends came to fetch us at the end of the night and drove me home. I have to say they were all very nice but it was still very uncomfortable being the only female in the car with 4 guys you don't really know. Needless to say that was the only date we went on.
Another weird date (many years ago), second date, I go to this guy's place for New Year's Eve. He's rooming with his sister. They get into a huge fight which spills into the apartment hallways. He leads me into the laundry room and after a minute says, "Stay here! I'll be right back!" I was still sitting there kind of scared 25-30 minutes later and finally wandered out to find out what was going on. There had been some fight about money stuffed in the ceiling and things had been thrown. I left and never saw him again.
Well....I am 35 years old and two years ago, I had my first hook-up via a dating app. She seemed like a nice girl, not really my type, but because I was horny and wanted to have "my first dating app hook up" I agreed to come over. It seemed she lived in a big a*s house with her family. It was around 10pm when we entered the house. There was a certain smell...and everything was dark, old and creepy. It has 3 floors and as we move up the stairs, the smell intensified. Then I saw some wheelchairs (yes...plural) and one of those wheelchair-toilet things, where you can take out the p**s/poop-bucket to clean it. It's like a mobile toilet for old people in wheelchairs. The smell was terrible. A mixture out of p**s and this kind of sweetish smell, that you can smell from people with intense diabetes. Smelled like death and as everything was dark...it really creeped me out. Then we walked on, and she lived at the top floor, direclty under the roof. Then another smell hit me.
it smelled like in a zoo-store. She had hamsters, rats, a snake and a cat. The floor was covered in hay and there was an old, selfbuild door, like you sometimes have on garden-sheds or basements with a lot of locks on them. The door looked very fragile and the amount of locks looked kinda weird. I was totally freaked out. Strangely her room was kind of clean and actually nice. She had a nice gaming set up, some dildos were lying around on the floor and it seemed quite normal up there. Still...I was afraid. I actually felt threatend there and afraid that in the next seconds, some "the hills have eyes" mutant with an axe might appear and slaughter me...I really was nervous. She kinda asked me what I liked sexually and after we exchanged our preferences, we started to make out. I never had such problems to relax and get one up. We tried and tried....

Why so many people use Internet sites to meet new people? I truly don't get it. I'm 34. Ok I live in a big city, so it is very easy to meet new people. And yes, I am no introvert so, I guess for some people it's more doable online. But I find it quite odd and quite dangerous. Just my opinion. :)
I live in a rural area and it's reeeeally hard to meet other singles, especially as a lesbian. My gf and I met on Tinder almost two years ago and we are going strong.
