~*~*~*~*~NWQOTD 1/23~*~*~*~*~

so my 'reign' as NWOTW is coming to an end... i hope that you've enjoyed some of the things i've come up with... :o) i had fun reading all of your answers and thoughts! so, here's my last question: ...


what's the worst date you've ever been on?(with anyone, ever...)


when i was in college, my used-to-be BFF set me up on a blind date with some guy who she claimed was 'PERFECT' for me... i spoke to him once on the phone, we set up a date to meet at a restaurant to have dinner. i was waiting in a booth in the restaurant (as per our plan)...he was almost a 1/2 late (but i really wasn't that mad...) unfortunately, in retrospect, i should have just left when he didn't show on time. anyway, he showed up and i wanted to hide under the table! he was almost a foot shorter than me (i'm 5'10'), he was wearing black tight jeans and a black t-shirt with some band named 'gwar' on it??? (i just remember the name was written in 'blood' and it had what looked like dead animals in the picture) he was wearing a trucker hat...long before ashton even made that 'cool' or whatever... and hanging (or rather dripping) down from under the hat was long, oily, wet curly tendrils of black hair... that might have been my favorite part...nothing's hotter than wet, greasy hair sticking to ...unfortunate skin. you might be asking yourself... 'umm, what's with your BFF???'Perfect for you'???' ... and so, due to morbid curiosity and feeling a little trapped in the booth i just sorta sat there, trying to plot my escape - but that's not the worst part. the waitress came over and asked us to order, and she must have seen the panic in my eyes because she kept staring at me like 'umm, are you being kidnapped or held hostage or something?' i was pleading with her with my eyes like 'help?!' he sat there and opened his wallet and said 'i'm not getting anything to eat because i don't have any money' and showed me that indeed his wallet was EMPTY... oh, except for the condom :vomit: i just stared at him like 'r u kidding me?' then he said 'wanna see a trick?' and took a fork and bent it into a 'bracelet' and said 'here, i made this for you.'... well as this is happening the waitress came over and asked to take our order - before i could even say 'no' he started to ORDER! apps, a meal...the whole thing. then excused himself to use the bathroom. a waiter and waitress came right over when they saw he was gone and were like 'what's up with this dude?' and i said 'you gotta get me outta here! blind date gone HORRIBLY wrong!!! help and oh, he has no money so don't put his order in...' and they were like, 'RUN! we'll stall him' and i grabbed my bag and ran out the door and behind me, i heard him calling 'wait!! where are you going??' and i just sped off and never heard from him again. and then...i called my 'friend..' former friend... omg, i'm strangely proud of my horrible blind date story... like 'i survived!'

okay...so let's see how bad it was out there before we met our hunnies!! :o) have a happy day girls! enjoy TWOTY and in a bit i'll name the NEXT NWOTW!!! :o)

Wow. That sounds just terrible.

I'm having trouble recalling details from bad dates since it's been a while since I was totally single. I remember going to a Mets game with a guy once and him being really, really boring. Fortunately, I had the game to enjoy. That was the time I almost got picked up by one of the concession stand sellers during my date... lol.

If I think of anything else, I'll post again.

Thank goodness none of us have to go through that ever again! We are happily married now, and found the right person!!!!!!!!!

yay for being a married girl! :o)

I don't think anything can top your GWAR guy!!!!!
That is hysterical!!

Once I had a blind 1st date ask me if my boobs (he said 't*ts') were fake right in the middle of dinner. He nonchalantly asked me as if he was asking me what my favorite color was. I was shocked. I said, EXCUSE ME??and left. Sooo rude!!!!
BTW they are real.

Thats a tough one, I have had some doozies....

I think it has to be when I was e-dating. I was so excited about going out with this guy from HS that was so popular and wanted to take me out via match.com years later. OMG... he was so stuck in HS. He drove the same car in the same HS way, slouched down with the bass going. He took me to Okey Dokey (which I love, but not for a first date) and a movie.
But the worst part about it was he told me (on the first date) that he could see us getting married. WOW, talk about CRAZY!!! I ran for the hills.

Another one that comes to mind is the guy that talked about teaching ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Every single subject went back to teaching.

Oh wait... no I know the worst one, I supressed the memory....


I met this guy at my friends wedding. He was in the wedding party. I was living in DC at the time and he was from Virginia's DC suburbs, so we had something in common and hit it off at the wedding (that was in PA). He called a week later and asked me out. He planned a great date... he met me at my apartment door and we walked to the metro. We went downtown to the mall and hit the brand new Native American museum and then walked to the WWII Memorial. Then we took the metro to Virginia and went to a little restaurant and then went to see the movie Heros, which since i was in film school was great. Then we had dessert at the Cheesecake Factory. Then he took me back to DC in his amazing BMW Z3 (although its a bit of a chick car.) It was great, until we were hanging out on my couch and he said, 'I can't believe I have a girlfriend, I haven't had a girlfriend in years.' Woah, a girlfriend. I of course sent him home soon after. (Not to mention he was a horrible kisser, btw, I don't usually kiss on the first date, but it felt like the second since we hung out at the wedding.) After that he drove me nuts. On-line, on the phone. Sadly I went out with him again, figured I would give him a second chance. We went downtown to Dupont Circle and on the date I told him that I wanted to take things slow, it was to early to label it. He flipped out on me. Got all crazy about it and upset. He was completely crazy. Walking around we ran into John, a guy I had gone on a date with that I really liked hanging out with. Dane got extremely jealous and crazy.

This was in 2005. It wasn't until I was engaged in 2008 that he finally got the hint that we were never going to happen.

So I guess it wasn't the worst date, more the worst guy. Although I had my share of bad guys in college, but no dates.

Can we talk about DH's worst date?

The beach volleyball bimbo - when DH said he was an engineer she said, oh you like trains?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. i just told my FH, who snorted coffee

I wasn't here at all yesterday so let me respond now!

(First of all, I LOVE reading your stories girls ... so funny!)

My worst date was with a guy who worked in a local store I frequented. He was very sweet and nice to me, and we used to chit chat a lot. I wasn't attracted to him at all and I could tell that he wasn't my type, but I knew he liked me and he finally asked me out. I was in a shittty situation with my ex at the time so I decided to just say yes - what harm could it be, right?

WELL. We went to play pool at a local pool hall and it was AWFUL. First of all, he mentioned right off the bat that when I leaned over he could see down my shirt. Um, OK, thanks for pointing that out. (Seriously, I know this happens sometimes but who would POINT IT OUT ON A FIRST DATE?) We had NOTHING to talk about so I just let him talk and talk and talk ... he proceeded to tell me that when he lived in Mexico with some extended family for awhile, he (direct quote) 'bashed the po-po's face in with a bat.' He was strangely proud of the fact that he was being harrassed by cops for doing illegal things and decided to take a bat to one of their faces. UM, WHAT? And he kept going on and on and on about it! I guess he thought it would impress me, but it scared the shitt out of me!

Luckily he had to go to work and so I ran out of there like a bat out of hell, after ducking out of his attempt at hugging me. I didn't go back to that store for like 2 years.

I haven't gone on any proper dates really before DH, since he was my first and only boyfriend...I went on a date once with a friend from college, but it was actually very nice Probably the worst 'hanging out'/date would be from college, I was sorta seeing this guy who apparently had a gf back home that he was cheating on with me and several other girls, although I naively didn't know about the gf, or the other girls...and I was flaunted in front of all his friends, who were snickering, clearly because of hte cheating...and someone said something about him and I said something about making him put a paper bag over his head and then they all REALLY laughed, and it turned in to a big mess...he stopped seeing me after that, but it was all for the best, and actually it was my friend who I went on my only other real date with who told me about the gf and the other girls and the whole situation.

Yep, I'm writing a book one day.
