People Who’ve Walked Out Of First Dates Share The Moment They Realized They Should Leave (40 Stories)
First dates are usually a bit weird and awkward. But when the person uses you to cover an expensive restaurant bill or tries to recruit you to a pyramid scheme, they're unbearable.
A few weeks ago, Redditor u/Eseohii posted a question to r/AskReddit, saying "Those who've walked out on first dates, what was your 'I'm out of here' moment?" and people instantly filled the comment section with crazy characters and surprising stories.
Here are some of them.

Had a first date with a girl who insisted we go to a really expensive place, where she ordered a $25 dollar appetizer, $45 steak and a $15 drink. She wouldn't put down her phone, kept taking calls and answering texts. The waitress noticed and motioned for me from behind her. I excused myself, and the waitress had separate bills all made up and asked if I wanted to pay my share and leave her at the table. I said, "That would be wonderful!" So I did.

What wonderful waitress. I hope you gave her a big tip. Yo should have dated her instead.
Troux 4 years ago
Oh yeah this is an expert strategy by the waitress. She's gonna get $0 on $85 from the girl, but a huge tip from the guy she saved, instead of a mediocre tip on the full bill from what would have been a very unhappy guy leaving.

I realized that they were going to stick me with the entire bill. I went to the bathroom, and on the way out, I saw the server. I told her the what was happening and if I could pay only what I ate, not the dude I was with, nor his friends. The sweet lady let me pay just for me and I tipped her, she led me through the kitchen to the alley. I walked down the alley, hit the street, hopped on the train and went home. The guy I was dating was blowing my phone up, but who cares. He was a real piece of work and I was young and stupid. Some people are just asses.

I drove us. Started to parallel park (been working/parking in SF for years by then) and he said, “I’ll park this for you, women don’t do well at parallel parking.” At dinner he was dismissive only to female wait staff.
I ran into these two hilariously drunk surfer dudes on my way from the bathroom, they told me my date was a jerk. We laughed about it and I went back to my table.
When leaving, the drunk dudes were also outside, I said bye to them and Assholio had the nerve to bark, “she’s with me!”
I told him to wait while I got in the car and unlocked the doors..except I didn’t. I drove off and left him standing there. The two drunk dudes whooped and yelled go, lady, go! Such an awesome finish to a terribly embarrassing date.

When he said "she's with me " I would have said "no I'm not " and gone off with the surfer dudes. They sound awesome.
Bored Panda got in touch with u/Eseohii and they told us the idea for the post came from a real-life example. "My friend had been on a date but walked out because the guy had researched her whole life and was reading off facts about her to her," the Redditor told us. "I was curious what other crazy things people have encountered on a date that made them say 'nope.'"
All these comments under the post only strengthened u/Eseohii's belief that "even after agreeing to a date you're not obligated to follow through if it's not worth your time!"
Even if we disregard the extreme cases, they think it's not "rude" to abandon your first date. "Life is way too short to keep engaging in things you're not truly interested in," the Redditor said.

On a first date with a military guy. He spent a large portion of the date talking about why the strippers in Toronto were better than the strippers where we lived. To change the topic, I asked him if he did any volunteer work with the military overseas and he said "NO! I joined the military to kill people not help people!" I got my bill, chugged my beer, and left as fast as I could.

Strippers are unfortunately a big part of military life culture . My husband would be ostracized for leaving when the strippers showed up. Outside the gates of any military base there is a p**n shop, a strip joint, and a tattoo place

Wasn't a date, but this stranger came up to me once on the train, and I could tell she was interested in dating me based off her questions (esp. of my dating life). At one point, a black man walked by and she "clung" to her purse tight and whispered, "Oh, scary man!". Maybe she meant it for me to act "protective" of her? I dunno, but it was a red flag to me.
As more Americans turn to online dating and the #MeToo movement leaves its imprint on the dating scene, nearly half of U.S. adults – and a majority of women – say that dating has become harder in the last 10 years.
Since there are no guarantees whether or not a date will work out for you, you have to be emotionally prepared for pretty much everything that might happen. "Having the right level of expectation is really important to ensuring you both enjoy your date, and stay motivated for future ones," dating coach Hayley Quinn told Bored Panda.
"Dating is a process, so don't go on a first date expecting to meet 'The One'! A good level of expectation to have for a first date is that you're going to have fun and be curious about the other person. A first date isn't about anyone judging anyone else, it's just an opportunity to see if that level of connection between you could be there," Quinn explained.

Are blind dates still a thing where you haven't at least seen a profile picture and even if it was a 100% blind date are people still giving total strangers their home address to be picked up? Always meet in public, don't give your address out and be stuck without transportation. This was a sad story but could have been a crazy one. But it is sad that she said that and that we all judge based on looks

We were talking about out pets and I told her about my cat and she said if we were to continue dating I would have to get rid of him because she doesn't like cats. For a moment I thought she was kidding because who would ask that of a first date (or any date). It became clear she wasn't kidding and was mad I wasn't taking her suggestion seriously. I didn't end up leaving, I was in the middle of my fettuccine alfredo and I wasn't about to scoop it into some doggy bag like some caveman. She took an Uber. I haven't had many memorably bad dates, but that was the worst. Im willing to make certain reasonable changes for the right person, but cats are non-negotiable.

When I had a crush on this long time friend he said that he didn't like cats. He knew that I was starting to date after my divorce had finalized and asked me what if a guy I was dating wasn't ok with cats and I said no worries, that was a deal breaker for me because we were a package deal and I'd be happy waiting for someone who was fine with that or else just enjoying single life. Fast forward - he asked to meet my cat who climbed right into his lap and rubbed his head on him and he was instantly converted! He'd never met one in person and had always hear that they were unfriendly little jerks. Crush and I will be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary next year :-)

Has the art of tactfulness just fallen by the wayside? You don't tell someone that they need to make a major life change to be with you. If that's the case, you tell them that things aren't going to work out because of a difference of opinion.

This guy and I were eating dinner after chatting for a couple of weeks, and unprompted (in the middle of something I was saying) and completely unrelated to what was being discussed he said something along the lines of, “So you know in order for this to work you’re gonna have to share yourself right? My friends and I like to pass girls around.”
I was pretty dumbfounded and after a bit of stuttering I told him I didn’t think it was going to work, asked for a to-go box and my portion of the check, and noped the f**k outta there.

I wonder if the guy was deliberately sabotaging the date because he wasn't really interested. Tacky way to go about it if so. Not sure why people just can't say, 'this isn't working out for me,' or something along those lines.
Most of us have probably been in an awkward situation where the date isn't going well and we want to leave early but can't find a nice way to do it. According to Quinn, that's something we need to take care of before, not during the evening.
"Instead of thinking about ending a date early, I would try to avoid planning dates where you're going to end up feeling over-committed!" the dating coach said. "Skip dinner and keep it to casual drinks or a coffee in an area that's convenient to you."
However, if you get enough bad vibes to start feeling you need to hit the eject button, then Quinn advises to be candid and say something along the lines of, "I appreciate you meeting me, but although it's awkward I want to be upfront that I don't think we have that chemistry."
"If you feel too unsafe to do this, yes you can make an excuse to leave (the old phone a friend) or tell a member of staff at the venue that you're looking for Angela, this is a code word to let members of staff know you feel unsafe, and they should assist you into a taxi," the dating coach said.

I appeciate his honesty though. I imagine some can keep it a secret and it could destroy anything you would have built up until you find out.

Oh man, meth mouth is real guys. Had a really good friend that would always invite me back to her house to smoke and I always said no. Then one day she offered again and I just broke and shouted, "Anna, I can see what little remains of your teeth, I am never going to smoke meth with you." She was pretty upset, I think mostly over the fact that she had an addiction in the first place and I know the condition of her teeth must have destroyed any self confidence she ever had. She was endlessly bullied in school for her weight, first guy who showed interest in her was a meth dealer who she does deeply love and they have now been together for 15 years, but she dropped out of college and she had a 4.0 which kills me. I tried not to judge because she was the happiest I had ever seen her and I could tell her and her husband love each other a lot, but I just kind of snap at her about her addiction and not in a nice way. It was the last time she ever talked to me.

I (M) had a date like this where the woman invited me to her home after two skype calls. We had a really good time, met a few times. Only later did it dawn on me that from her perspective this was not so safe, and we discussed it. We kept in touch and she told me later that she met someone from the internet and agreed to meet him in a bar, and he started saying similar s**t to the creep in the story. Really freaked her out, even though he never knew her address. (Humble brag warning) She said she was really happy that her first time back dating was with me, and that felt really good (I know, not being a creep is normal behaviour, no need to be proud of that, but still....)

In my experience men that are openly attracted to a woman because she has large breasts are *always* a nightmare. I don't know the psychology behind it, but it's always held true. Nothing wrong with liking that they are part of the package (but it still should *not* be talked about on a first date, blimey), but if they fixate on them they are not a good bet and the woman should just cut her losses.

Why are you victim blaming? This is why women don't come forward. You're already blaming her and she didn't do anything but protect herself and you don't even know the full story. She could've went to the police and if she did it's 99% that nothing at all happened to him. It's more likely she'd be charged w assault for breaking his nose and look at that how did she know it was broken? She must've followed up somewhere probably w the police so just stop and if she didn't at least she's alive. Her going to the police is no guarantee hed get in trouble however she will put herself more at risk thats 100% guaranteed

Blind date set up by my GRANDPARENTS. I love my grandad and he’s done so much for me so I went. We met at a bar where my best friend worked. We get drinks and I’m talking to my friend. He says “this homo trying to hook up with you?” 1. He’s not gay 2. It wouldn’t matter if he was 3. He was just checking in on me. So I’m already done with him at this point but my ride is still over an hour away. His mate shows up at one point and starts trying to flirt with me. It was gross. My date then starts asking about “my hot friends” and if I can get them to come out. I said “I like my friends so… no” He starts being racist against Pacific Islanders. And was horribly rude to this German guy there drinking. when my ride gets there I said “I’m leaving.” He said “I’ve got a big d**k, you should come home with me” I said “thanks but I’d rather gouge out my eyes” The next day he messaged me and said “you probably think I’m a bit of a c**t after last night but do you want to go out again” I had no intentions of ever seeing him again so I explained why his behaviour was unacceptable and suggested he try making friends who are girls so he sees them as something other than a hole to stick his d**k in. I told my grandparents everything. They told his parents and apparently his dad was super embarrassed. My grandparents were then informed to stay out of my love life and any time they brought it up I just say “I’ve got a big d**k, you should come home with me”

I truly believe that if people knew how they were going to behave would be fed back to their parents thing would change. Yes, of course, sometimes parents don't need to know about things like getting super drunk or locking yourself out or falling off the table you were dancing on, but they do need to know about abhorrent behaviour and treatment of others.

He can have plenty of female friends, won't help a bit with such personality traits. They see them as potential friends with benefits. Sadly, speaking from my own experience. Last occurrence: i asked him if i could stay at his house if i needed to FLEE from WAR (Russia 2022 situation). Homeboy was disappointed that i would travel with my family, parents and all. You would think that a person in 4th decade of this life and made a solid carreer would respect other people, but here we are. It's a lost cause, i gave up.

She wouldn't stop making fun of me. She was 26 and I was 36 (though if it matters, we were at the same place in our careers/income) and she kept making ageist jokes about how I was old and decrepit. Eventually, after telling her pretty directly to lay off, I just said "you know, I'm not enjoying this, I'm going to go," and paid for the table and left. Later she said it was because she was overcompensating because she was self-conscious about how much younger she was, but that just means that when she's uncomfortable she goes straight to demeaning the other person.

She had 22 cats and would just randomly take in strays. Not give them any vet care and was planning on keeping a recent litter. I love cats...

Actually not clear. Animal hoarding is not something a mentally healthy person does. She is likely not taking care of herself either, and is probably living in very unsanitary conditions. I really wish there was more attention given to this issue. All forms of mental illness require care and compassion. The really sad part is that nothing can be done for her if she can't see the need, and she cannot be involuntarily committed because animal hoarding is not considered a clear a present threat to anyone. Even if the cats are all taken from her, she will likely be back to the same in a couple of years.
Load More Replies... Catlady6000 4 years ago
This is a mental health issue which seems to receive very little compassion or attention. These people need treatment, not only do they not take care of the many animals, they do not take care of themselves and usually live in horrifically unsanitary conditions. They are often unable to see anything wrong with their situation, and may be convinced they are helping. Even if the animals are taken by the Humane Society, without mental health treatment, she will still be in some form of a hoarding situation and likely be in the same animal situation all over again in a few years. Hopefully she has someone who can help her get the care she needs, for her sake and any future animals

He was a friend of a friend. He went to a restaurant and ordered our food. While we waited he started to say things like “First I’ll eat this meal then I’ll eat you out”. I laughed cause I thought he’s just joking. I thought he’s just nervous and his mouth lost his filter. Then when the waitress later asked if we want more to drink he was like “Yes, bring us something strong” I said not for me and that i have to drive later and just want a coke and he looked at me and was like “Don’t be stupid. You think I’ll f**k you once and let you leave? You’ll at least stay the night” The waitress looked at me with wide eyes like im crazy for even being there. After she left I told him that he has to stop with this that it was rude and that we’re on our first date. He apologized and for 10 min it was okay. Then, as if a switch was turned on he said just like that (mid sentence without even ending his previous story) “You know what, I can’t control myself anymore. Either we go now or I’ll f**k you on this table” I told him I’ll go to the bathroom. He complained like a baby that we have to go now. I went anyway and went to the waitress, payed for the food and left without a word.

There are things we share publicly, with acquaintances, friends, family & other loved ones, our partners, medical or other care professionals & then there are the things we keep completely private. For many, a phone falls into the private and/or partner category. For some, it may fall into the completely private section. As long as there is trust & no need for suspicion, it shouldn’t matter if one opts to share their device with their person or keep it wholly private.

We met at the restaurant, I had arrived first to get a table, the server showed her over, we shook hands, I pushed her chair in. The server asked if we would like a drink or to hear the specials. She picked up the menu, asked the server for a wine list without even looking at them, looked intently at me and said "how much money do you make?" I said "excuse me?" In a confused tone somewhat taken aback. She stared at me and said very slowly and deliberately "how much money do you make in a year?" I looked over at the server who was still standing there with a really awkward look on their face, thanked them for their assistance so far. Turned to my "date" and said I was sorry but I had to leave, and I got up and walked out.

He brought two friends along which was unexpected. They were all drunk. I flagged down a waitress while one guy left to go do something. I ordered my food, the other two confessed they'd already eaten. Third guy walks back in to the restaurant, dripping blood from a horrific gash in his arm. In shock, I ran to my car & grabbed my first aid kit, cleaned & butterflied the wound, bandaged it, had the guy elevate his arm while the waitress called 911. Got cleaned up, returned to find the un-injured guys had just eaten my food. Grabbed my kit & my purse and walked out.

Went first for a walk, he did not shut up for a like minute for one hour, complains about everything and everyone in his life, not even ask nor allow me to give a comment. Set down, he orders food for me, without even asking; get's his drink, bartender mentions the caps are difficult to open, but he arrogantly and rudely brushes him off, tries to open them himself but ends up spilling juice all over himself. Yells like it was the staff's fault and how the country he is from is superior. No regard for people, just yelling. At that point, I wanted to get under the table because that was actually a restaurant I frequently visit (from a small town with just a handful of restaurants). Continues to talk about how superior and above all that "incompetence" he is, and when he becomes manager, he would fire people like that. Continues with complaints for another hour. I offer to split the check considering that he talked about money issues and because I obviously did not want to see him ever again so did not want to feel like I "owe" him anything. He yells at me, I leave the money on the table, walk-off. He basically continues yelling at stuff for going after check again with the "in my country" talk about how they have it on the spot. Grabs my hand and says angrily to wait for him. Asked me literally 2 questions finally, I say I will grab a taxi but he forcefully insists to walk me home. To avoid him making another scene, I accept. We walk in silence, I try to have him off and leave, he insists to follow me home how there are probably some "dangerous" people around, he tried to force himself on me on my front door (the one of the yard, fence or how it is called), even though I said I don't think it will work. Exact words, "you owe it to me, we went on a date, I did not waste my money for nothing". I literally pushed him off (he was skinnier) and threw another 20$ (besides the ones I already left for my meal in the restaurant) at his face, saying "here, we are done", got instantly in the yard, locked the fence, while hearing him yell, and sent him a text that I will call the police if he does not get the f**k out of there. He left. The worst part is, his aunt was our neighbor, my mom knew his mom and were good friends, and the next day, on my way out she literally had the audacity to ask "how did it all went" (I am pretty sure she heard him screaming awful things since literally, their house is like 10m from mine, across the street, literally) and I told her just "you should have raised him better". They never spoke to me again. I am absolutely fine with that.

My understanding of the legal differentiation between the two is that the illegal pyramid scheme has no actual product that they sell. They're both the same kind of pyramid structure which works out worse and worse for people the further down the pyramid they are, but it's not considered fraud if there is an actual product being sold. The bit that smacks of fraud but is still legal is that they hype up your potential to make a bunch of money, but it rarely works out that way for people.

Carol Emory 4 years ago
Happened to me too. Not on a first date, but with a former boyfriend. He asked me to dinner and then tried to pitch Amway. Left while he argued with a guy at the counter that told my ex his pyramid scheme was illegal.

He sells coffee for a company that uses what's called multilevel marketing to sell product. While he gets a cut of all his sales, the real money is made by recruiting other people in the organization to sell the product. Then he gets a cut of their sales as well, and of anyone they recruit, and so on. Most people that join these schemes don't end up making much money. Often they lose money because they end up spending more money on product and marketing than they gain through sales. Annoying your friends, family, coworkers, and social network constantly to buy stuff from you, unsurprisingly, doesn't work out well for a lot of people. So there's high turn over. The people who end up making money are the ones that are constantly recruiting new people. So this guy was using Tinder, pretending like he was interested in actually dating people, when really he was trying to rope them into his sales network.

When I realized she was trying to get her ex get jealous of me. She chose the place and time and it was where her ex worked at that time.
Left and apologized to the ex.
Later she texted me saying that she'd forgive me for the faux pas if went to another date-she still picked the same time and place. I ghosted her.

Ok the irony here is that photo is OF ME from a stock photoshoot I did, and that guy is my now boyfriend, and we met on this shoot 😆 so that photo TECHNICALLY is of my first date 😂 (and no I didn’t use him to make my ex jealous 🙃)
StrawberryParfait 4 years ago
Why would you apologize to her ex? Why insert yourself into the drama? They weren't together anymore. Even if her behaviour was classless and obvious, she was free to do as she chose. Just leave and block her, no need to be a drama queen and act as if you transgressed against a dude she was no longer involved with.

Something similar happened to me. I went to a movie at the mall with a girl I knew, she was a friend but I guess technically this is a date. After the movie, she wanted to stop by one of the stores there where her ex-boyfriend worked, "just to say hi", they're just friends now. We went, "nice to meet you", etc, and then she asked if they could talk alone and I stood about a hundred feet away while they seemed to have an argument and it was very awkward. I wonder if it was less just going to a movie together and more her using me to make him jealous somehow?

On my very first date ever, I go to a movie with my girlfriend that I also had my first kiss with about a week earlier at a dance. She doesn't mention anything about this, but she ends up bringing her sister. Her IDENTICAL TWIN sister. I had no idea who was who all date long and didn't find a way to ask. She later tells my friend she thinks I am more into her sister than her.
Very awkward. Much confused.

That is wacked.....correction....double wacked. My grandfather was a twin. Sadly my great uncle died when he was a young man, in an accident. My grand was sitting alone (he was kind of the quiet shy type....his brother, not so much) in a restaurant and a woman comes up to him and starts heavily flirting with him. He doesn't know her, or what to think, so he gives her the cold shoulder. She gets angry and leaves. Of course he had just met his brother's new girlfriend, and found out later.

I work in fine dining. A friend of mine showed up to my restaurant on a first date with a guy who arrived DRUNK as a f**king skunk. She's an absolutely beautiful, hilarious woman with a great career, truly a catch. Friday night, full restaurant, their table in the middle of the floor where everyone could see. He continued to burn through 3 bottles of wine, started making some bad "jokes" about her looking "loose." She suggested he stop drinking. He reached across the table and slapped her. We all ushered her out, a bunch of men at other tables were about to beat his ass but we held them back until he paid his bill. He didn't have enough money, said he was planning on making her split the $300 tab with him. We called the cops. Bye Patrick. Another time, I helped a woman sneak out the back of our restaurant after eavesdropping on her horrible date. Their table was right by the service station. He had spent the entirety of the date complaining about his ex girlfriend's eating disorder. From the minute they sat down and ordered drinks, "oh wow, you're having wine? That's so refreshing. My ex was f**king anorexic, she had to count calories of f**king everything. Blah blah blah etc etc." The dude never stopped. Woman dipped out in between first and second course.

I honestly tried to be tactful, at each step, but it was the way it kept escalating. First date over dinner she let slip that she had a 2 year old (us late 20s ish). OK fine, that’s a new element to this which I never heard before the date. Then “his dad was a sugar daddy”, uhhhh OK? Well I am not to judge. Oh and then “but he isn’t looking to be a dad, he just pays me child support.” Righto. “I still get messages when he’s horny, but I promise to end it when we are exclusive.” Oh good. “I definitely want more kids, but he is reluctant because he would be paying more, so he’s been pulling out.” Mhm… “Do you want to come back to my place?” Say what now? “Oh but I’m on birth control! You can cum in me babe it’s OK, don’t worry.” Yeah nah I’m good. I’m convinced I was about to become a donor for her next paycheck.

That kind of thing is such a red flag for me. I've been through something similar, not on the first date, but afterwards. The guy who took me to lunch immediately began leaving little things on my desk. The first, as a "thanks for the date", I could handle. But there were at least two more gifts that week, one accompanied by a note signed "Me" (as if we were an established couple!) I was more creeped out than thrilled -- I still don't know how he managed to get them on my desk before I showed up for work. His grandson was a student in my Kindergarten class, so I told him I'd thought about things and decided it wasn't a good idea to date a student's relative. I can only imagine how possessive he would be if I'd allowed things to continue.

It seemed to be going alright for a while. We meet late afternoon and went for a stroll around town doing a little bit of a pub crawl with a drink at each followed by some food at a monthly food truck festival I knew about which was going to be followed by a local bar and dancing. I kept seeing the same guy at all the locations obviously following us. On a toilet break I mentioned something to one of the pub doormen who asked him to leave politely although that got a little heated. She ran over to the doorman and explained that it was her husband. They had a thing of watching each other go out with someone and maybe watching them have sex. I did drop in a question if they had ever done more like stealing from someone and she accidently said it had happened, but only a couple of times before trying to say that she didn't mean that. I left them with the doormen and reported them to the police.

He started making comments about my “puss” then took me to his house to use the bathroom before the next part of our date (we had lunch first, then were supposed to play mini golf). Didn’t know he lived with his parents so I had to meet them ON THE FIRST F**KING DATE. They were nice but I felt so uncomfortable because I already knew this wasn’t going to move beyond date #1 thanks to his puss remarks. He told me to wait in his room while he went to the bathroom and I noticed that his computer was on. Before our date he was chatting with a friend and he left it up on the screen. The last message he’d sent said “I hope I get to see internet_poser’s tits I bet they’re so perky and small.” The f**k? Why leave that up and send me in there to see it? I lied saying that my mom called with an emergency and needed me back home, noped the f**k out and never spoke to him again.

First red flag should’ve been his age—turned out he’d fibbed on his dating profile and was actually my dad’s age—but I vowed to muddle thru. In our pre-date conversations, I’d mentioned I was into F1 racing and he said he’d attended the Canadian Gran Prix…and, 2nd red flag, he brought an ancient photo album to prove it. Before he got to the blurry Gran Prix photos, he flipped past yellowing boudoir photos of 1970s era girlfriends and an ex-wife or two (think Farrah Fawcet hair, turquoise eyeshadow, and cheap, nylon babydoll negligees), and a Polaroid of a lovely Irish Setter. I said something like, “what a pretty dog,” and he replied “yeah, I accidentally backed over him with my truck one Christmas morning.” Merry Christmas kids, dad flattened Rusty.

Concensual non-consent can be hot, but you discuss it first, and then you slowly work up to it, and you discuss it again, and then some more.

Went to meet a woman in her 30's at a Starbucks. I show up to see a woman pushing 50 (maybe more) and much larger than she claimed to be. She immediately started talking about sex and asking me what positions were my favorite and all these "have you ever done...." type questions. This was in the middle of a crowded Starbucks with children around. She started reaching across the table and trying to grab my hand and touch me to which I told her that PDA makes me uncomfortable (this was a lie, but I didn't want to cause a scene or hurt her feelings). I told her that I wasn't feeling too well and that I should probably go. She followed me out and grabbed my ass and started trying to push herself against me and trying to kiss me. I told her again I was not comfortable with PDA and after several repeats of this she finally let me get in my car. Got the f**k out of there and took some time away from the dating scene after that encounter.

They were all drunk and her friend was insisting on driving home so she (her friend) agreed to let me drive them home because the friend was very set on not leaving her truck parked outside a bar overnight. We get all the way to their apartment complex and then getting into the parking spot was tricky so the drunk friend/truck owner insisted on parking (and pulled the "I legally own this vehicle" card). I was some guy her friend just met at a bar so I was like "...okay then". Within 5 seconds she backs the truck into a drainage ditch and gets it stuck. We all have to push the truck and get covered in mud. While we were doing that, the girl I met at the bar had lost her wallet so I dug through the mud water ditch at like 4am and didn't find her wallet. We get back to her place and the mood is definitely ruined, so we end up eating a random cheese and meat platter from Safeway on her kitchen floor at like 4am. I sleep on the couch and wake up early and I think "well, she was great it was just the whole truck thing that ruined it." I look for a pen and paper to write down my number before leaving, all I can find is a piece of paper taped to the (inside of) the door. It was a court date notice for a domestic violence/abuse hearing. I just left and chalked it up as a strange night.

She talked about how much she missed her ex and how she used to stalk him. They got into a fight one time at the airport, he left to go home, she raced to his house, went up the balcony to sneak into his house just to wait for him when he got home.

My guess is that he wasn't an ex, rather a man she was obsessed with (a schoolmate or something since she knew where he lived).

Met up with a dude that I’d been talking to online in a different town. Met up at his house to make plans on what to do/where to go, and he said he needed to grab something and he’d meet me in the car. Heard coughing/hacking from the back room, went to see if he was okay and he was huffing duster and on the verge of blacking out. I noped the f**k out of there and went home.

Had to google "huffing duster" but anyway, I'd have felt uncomfortable just leaving him "blacking out" as he could end up dying. I might have called 911 or something similar (like a non-emergency number)

No you were correct about 911. Because having problems breathing is the "number one" emergency.

He kept saying things like ‘I hope people from school see us together so they stop calling me gay’ and then spoke about my friends (m) genitals, then asked if he could come to the toilet with me. It was valentine’s day, we never spoke again

Only happened once, she kept talking about her ex, I asked if she wanted to get back with him , she said I dont know and showed me a picture of him.. couldn't leave fast enough

I get that she was torn and wanted help. But you should not be subjected to this, if you did not agree to it - so it's good that you left.

I once took this idiot on a date, she wanted me to pretend it was her birthday so she can get a free dessert. I thought it was a joke until dinner ended and she got up from the table and said "alrighty I'm going to the bathroom, call the waiter over and tell them it's my birthday." I didn't and when she got back she legitimately got upset with me. She said it was free and I should of just done it, then said we would just order it instead.... I wanted that chocolate cake but out of spite I told her my stomach was hurting, paid for the bill, then jetted out to my buddies party.

Bragged about how much money he had. Asked me how short I was on rent saying he’d give me the money right now. I was not short on rent, never said I was. Told me he could afford an Uber x but would buy me an Uber pool home bc he didn’t know me that well.

I was engaged for about 4 years, not because of a fear of commitment, but because she did not want to go to the JP and we couldn't afford to have the wedding she wanted and I wanted her to have (I wanted her to have the world because I thought she deserved it). Eventually we did, and it was wonderful... until she cheated on me with my best friend, in our basement, while I was home and taking care of her sick friend... ah, good times.

Invited me to a bar which was apparently close to his apt, and kept wanting to "snuggle" at his apt with me. I left to a friend's party and met the man I've been with for 3+ years. The first guy later texted me a d**k pic on Easter Sunday.

More funny than bad. She opened the door, saw she was taller than me with her heels, says "OMG I have to change my shoes" and closes the door in my face.". That is OK I left my wallet in my car and she paid that night.

I guess this is a terrible first date you're describing; it's just that the person for whom it was terrible wasn't you.
Valisbourne Spiritforge 4 years ago
Gee, some people have hangups about the lady being taller than the gent. She attempted to mollify that potential issue and did not invite you into her house to do so. She must have been a bitch so you 'left' and she had to pay your half of the bill. /sarcasm off How often do you see someone burn themselves?

So, because she noticed you were short you punished her? Did you think shortness is something that can be hidden? If anything, she was trying to be considerate of something that you are obviously touchy about, given how you reacted.

As a woman myself, I don't get why a lot of girls refuse to date shorter men (or under 6 ft men?!). Like what does it changes in a relationship?

I think I read this different, as in, the tall thing happened at her house, he thought her reaction was funny. They took her car, and he had left his wallet in his (at her house) so she ended up paying for the date. So, it was "sarcastically" even. I think he just wrote this weird and at first read, it just sounds like he bailed. Unless I am missing something????
Evil Little Thing 4 years ago
Pretty sure he's saying he left his wallet in the car deliberately to get back at her for noticing his height and not inviting him into her house.

Kinda sweet, actually. You can learn a lot about someone by studying with them. Their appearance, their knowledge and intelligence, their patience, their willingness to listen and learn, the smell of their breath, their ability to flirt quietly and subtlely, their ability to whisper, and so on.

I have had some really bad dates but one always stands out. I meet this guy who is educated, pleasant, friendly, professional, seems pretty open and honest. So we meet at a bar downtown. Conversation all seems fairly normal until he tells me that his kids are still mad at him for something that happened years before. He worked in government, brought important papers home. Left them in the open on the kitchen table. Their new puppy got hold of some and chewed them up. He got home. Normal story so far. Then he told me, all calm and smiling, that he saw what had happened, took the puppy out back and beat it to death with an iron bar. He didn't miss a beat. I was so scared, I didn't even leave. I tried to wander off to another part of the bar, and he just followed me, smiling. When I eventually managed to get out of his line of vision, I ran out of the bar, to my car and sped home, and bolted all the doors and blocked him. Most unsettling and horrific date ever.

First there was there was the date who tried to kill me -- ordered an appetizer to share. It included raw fish which I told him I am allergic to.

One pinned me against a truck for a kiss. Then on Monday, met a man to take a long walk along the beach which ended up at his house. Suggested we watch TV, best TV in his bedroom - I was laying on top of his bed totally amazed. He said he didn't date much, but he had a plan and knew how to make it work. Thankfully he wasn't a creep and respected my refusal to snuggle.That night he wanted to visit after 11:00. Huh? No way! He was the person I thought he was, but was looking for a hook-up not a relationship. I really liked him, he had morals. Few men listen once you are alone, after refusing to be intimate twice he disappeared.

To be clear --- it is a terrible to end up at either person's home after an online meeting. Incredibly risky; you are at their mercy. I meet men during the day, some place public for lunch or for a long walk on a well traveled trail. Regardless of future plans I have.

A fancy restaurant.... we have a great time, I'm not even thinking of the bill at this point and when it comes he straight tells to the waitress "oh she is paying, she insisted!" I would have paid even though it was unfair but he didn't even try to share the huge bill! There was no 3rd date!

First date guy. I was 35. He was 44. He told me I was at the top end of the age range he'd consider dating because "women lose their looks a lot earlier than men." Then he told me he'd be okay with me going back to work once the kids were old enough to go to school. All this before we had even ordered dinner. He looked really sad when I told him it wasn't going to work out, and I left.

A few minutes later he said I can’t believe that you’re OK with your daughter being a queer. I picked up my glass of ice water I got it from the table I poured it right in his lap and I said “I told you not to use that word this is the end of the date”! I walked out and as I was walking to the parking lot this lady came running up to me and said that is the best and date I’ve ever seen and I’m so proud of you for sticking up for your little girl.
