Maybe she just wanted to know more about you. Are you a vampire? Are your ancestors from Hungary? Garlic can say a lot...
More than likely the waiter was a friend of the guys and he was his get out of date card if it wasn't going to well...
I mean.... if my husband came in right now and did that I would push him off and then laugh hysterically. But... we've been together a long time. Also, no one tell him about this because it's exactly the sort of thing he would do.
How thick is the guy? "I literally just treated you like one of my dogs"
I think it's hysterical!! It's kinda adorable.

I kind of love the name....not the guy or the fact that he did that to a first date BUT puppy trumpet is an adorable name for something
Ew, I don't know what his dog's nose is like but my dog's nose is wet and snotty. Not putting my mouth anywhere near there.
Really? You don’t find anything wrong with that?! The dude was freakin’ weird!

I am in a cafe reading this and it made me laugh out loud. People are looking at me like I'm demented or something
Hey if they see you looking at a computer screen then hopefully they’re smart enough to figure out that you’re laughing at something you read and not just laughing at nothing like a lunatic would.

It seems to be a thing for guys. My brother use to do it to his dog, mind you he was still a teen and the dog was a collie so it had a long rather thin snout. He had no interest in doing it to our dad's bulldog. Some breeds it works better on. Mind you I'm the opposite end of the spectrum, I don't even like it when my dog licks me on the face, yuck!

I hope he didn't forget to scratch you behind the ears. and I hope you didn't forget to wag your tail.
(Horatio from CSI putting on his sunglasses): I guess the guy blew it...
I hope he's neutered! Wouldn't want him to pass on this blow-in-the-nose gene!
I once had w bf that purposely spit in my mouth as I was going for a kiss... Ew
dats just digusting to a person BUT TO A DOG (the dog haz been infected w/ da guyz ebola now) rip dog ;~;
ok... I guess that you are listed in Guinness book of world records for the fastest run for (at least) 500 meters now, right?
Did he take care of you? If yes, he is definitely a guy you should see again.
That's not getting to know anyone. That's getting interviewed for a mom/housekeeper.
Were you the same girl as the girl with the garlic pizza? Asking for a friend.
Just how long were you getting ready if he could eat dinner during this time?
Why isn't "Of" capitalized? ...Just trying to understand this new language....
Ok... I scrolled past the first one, but is no one going to admit that they are bothered by seeing it called a 'convenient store'??
Time to give him a list of reasons he can read tomorrow as to why he woke up in a dumpster.
You didn’t do anything wrong. HIS Mom has SOME work to do...
That kind of stuff doesn't bother me because you pretty much have zero control when your body doesn't agree with something and wants to expel it
What's wrong with going to the zoo on a first date? <-confused wildlife biology student
So don't go to a restaurant? Park. Museum. Movie. Something cheaper or free
Not seeing the problem here necessarily. Sounds like an offbeat date.
My first date with my guy was a home cooked meal and I was really nervous because I'd had a crush on him forever. But it turned out he had crushed on me too and we ended up drinking wine and chatting until 4 in the morning. Sorry I don't mean to brag, was just overcome with nostalgia and loooove for my guy. *heart eyes
Once went on a horrible blind date: dinner & a movie. We agreed to meet at the place and I got there early so I called to make sure he would find it because he was from out of town. I happened to mention that my car's clock was ahead of time, to which he responded "Your car's s**t!" Red flag right there... The whole evening he made fun of everything: how I ate, what I ate, what movie to pick, if I talked too little or too much, ARG! (He was quiet during the movie, whew!)Then, he insisted on going out for a drink. I didn't order anything alcoholic because I was planning on driving out of there asap, so he started making fun of me for that, then he taunted me for not wanting to dance. It was nonstop and I was too shy and uncomfortable to tell him to go to hell, so I said I was tired and wanted to go home. He insisted on accompanying me to my car, then made me drive him to where he'd parked his. Called me the next day for another date. Yeah right.
#81 is it sad that i might have actually liked the idea of that tour.....
on me and my boyfriend's first date, a few hours into the date his uncle came running and screaming his name saying they had been looking for him everywhere and that the police was after him. he had to leave right there and then and left me sitting there confused. lol now that i know him and his family more it makes more sense but out of context i was like wtf have i gotten myself into XD
Window table at TGIFriday's. She points out the window and tells me, "Last time I was at that intersection, I called my mom and said, 'I just took all 30 days of my meds. I hope you'll miss me.'" I called for the check, dropped her off, never spoke again.
How about trying to help? On second thought, that must have been her in advance prepared pretext to sabotage the date.
Load More Replies... Her: "I'm divorced, but we still share a house...a bed...okay I'm not divorced, but we're open...I have a BF. Me: So you want me to be #3? Her: Kinda. Me: Not interested, excuse myself to the bathroom. I come out and she's gone. Waiter brings my bill: it has 3 dinners on it. She ordered a meal to go.
Had a first date. Endet well down some dark hidden basement entry stairs of a church nearby. She became Lesbian a few days later. I may have been the last guy in her life, but hopefully not the reason for it.
My friend from college was trying to hook me up with this really great guy. I agreed to meet them at a restaurant. I ran into my brother there. Yep - he was the date.
First Tinder date we were to meet and have drinks and dinner. I got all dressed very nice and looked and smelled great. I walk just inside the restaurant and saw him already sitting. I joined him and was shocked that he was in shorts, sandals and an unbuttoned shirt and hurt as he had already ordered HIS meal as he was hungrier then he thought !!@#$#@! I ordered only a glass of water and once the waiter brought it, I threw it in his face!! I walked out without say a word. Date was over. #nogentleman
I am horrified at so many of these stories. How can people treat other people so horribly? It is just sad.
Well, even though Twitter is the worst place for any kind of contextual storyline, I have seen some patterns in the tweets and subsequent comments for each: First of all, most men are idiots. Second, a lot of women GREATLY overreact in a negative fashion to a man's lack of confidence, self esteem or just tact.
Had an awkward first date some years ago. I was kind of uncertain about the whole thing and as he was quite prominent in our city I initially hoped to keep things very low-key and discrete, avoiding any gossip. The date was arranged for a venue in an area where neither, were likely to bump into friend.. however, much to my horror he arrived to pick me up in one of his firm's cars - with his name, address, phone no, website and e-mail emblazoned on both sides. Talk about advertising!! I spent most of the evening hoping to sink through the floor.
My worst first date this guy took me to the movies on Valentines day. 20 min in he gets up to go to the bathroom. Comes back 10 min later and then goes back to the bathroom a little while later. This goes on 2 more times and then finally he admits he has the stomach flu and asks if we can leave. I never did see they rest of the second Fifty Shades of Grey movie, but I did give him a second chance and we've now been together for almost a year!
heres one: My brother went on a date with a woman, she was drunk. They went to the movies and she threw up all over his pants. First and last date with those two.
Heres one: My brother went on a date with this woman, and she was drunk. In the theater she threw up all over his lap.
One of my worst was an impromptu date.. Guy who was a friend of a friend had shown interest, & I agreed to a date, but we hadn't yet decided on details. One night he turns up on my doorstep with flowers. I was already getting ready to go out with friends, but felt obligated after he told me he quit his job at the pizza shop so he could come out tonight; that's should have been the first red flag, but I was 19 & naive. We had a quick bite to eat, and he would say things like!"My Mum is going to love you" and "Your eyes are really pretty, I always wanted kids with blue eyes", at that age I wasn't ready for that kind of thing, and I began to feel uncomfortable. After dinner we went to the local bar; being a rural area there is always going to be people we know there. He became clingy and possessive; if I tried to talk to friends he would interrupt and drag me away. At one point he went to the bathroom, and I began dancing with friends. (Continued in comments)
Two minutes later he's shoving himself between my friends and I on the dance floor, and taking me away. I'd had enough and turned to him yelling over the music, "Why are you doing this, what is the problem?" And he yells back, "I love you". I'm stunned at this point. He then says, "don't you love me?" and I reply (yelling above the music mind you), "No, I'm sorry. I barely know you!". Then I kid you not next thing I know I'm standing by the dance floor and he's fainted, his head hitting my feet. I didn't know what to do! Security came over, picked him up and hauled him out the door. My friends had come over to see if I was ok, and I'm in total shock at the weird situation. His friend had also been at the bar, and went outside to see if he was ok. After I collected my thoughts, I went outside to see if the guy was ok. He was in the feral position rocking back and forth repeating, "she's worth fighting for, she's worth fighting for"..I noped right out of there then. Weirdest date ever.

I met a guy on match. We had a nice dinner & stupid me agreed to go back to his place for a beer & video games since it was near the restaurant. I had ONE beer & could barely focus on the game. I insisted on going home afterward, he kept saying I could spend the night. I was REALLY struggling to stay awake & he walked me to my car, still suggesting I crash there. I declined & managed to drive home. I had to scream to keep myself awake. Nothing about the end of that date seems right to me, but I made it home & into my bed.
Wonder if he spiked your drink, thank goodness you made it home

A bunch of our coworkers went out for sushi and drinks. At the end of the night, it was myself and Coworker A trying to stuff ALL of the other drunk coworkers into his car, but there was not enough room, so I offered to let Coworker B sleep it off on my couch, and I could take him back to his car in the morning. The next morning, I discover Coworker B had removed all his clothes, so I let my dog slobber him awake. Coworker B then made it clear that he thought we were dating, even going to far as to tell the other coworkers that we hooked up. Upon discovering this, I corrected them--informing them that my dog kissed him awake and we were NOT an item. As it turned out, Coworker A agreed to help Coworker B in pursuing me...but at least he was apologetic. It did not stop me from shaming him, because Coworker B could not take a hint and kept creeping by my apartment until I had refused to let him in several times.
I met this guy on a blind date, in a very fancy restaurant he chose. Anyone who knows me knows that I am the antithesis of fancy. Anyhow, I didn't feel that out of place in that elite palace. I was there to get to know my date, not the whole restaurant, after all. After the appetizers and before the entrée, he asked me "How big they were", whilst looking at my breasts and motioning towards them. Dumbfounded by the stupidity of the question, I replied "I don't think you need a magnifier glass to assess their size". What he said next never ceases to make me wonder about human kind : "I didn't mean your boobs, I meant your nipples".
Have you noticed that about 90% of these are written by women, about men? Just saying.....
