Mine was not an eH date but anyway here goes!


When I was in college, a girl in my dorm set me up with her older step-brother because "we would be so perfect together" and "he really needed a good girl like me." I never met him before the night of the date, but I was pretty excited and one of my best friends had a date for the same frat party so we thought it would be ok. We went shopping together and bought new outfits and jewelry and everything.


So the night of the party he pulled up in his truck and got out wearing his camo pants and a tshirt. (So much for my cute new outfit...) The party was a Halloween Barn Bash that we had to drive 45 min to get to. I tried really hard to make conversation on the way, but gave up when all I could get was one word answers. Then I started watching the clock. We drove for 37 minutes without saying a single word!!! We finally got there and he immediately abandoned me to hang out with his friends. When he came back, things were a little better but he still didn't know what to say. We went in to watch a horror movie a little later. The next thing I knew he was waking me up and saying it was time to go and all I could think was that I had to get in the car and drive 45 min. back with him. Then we got back and he asked if he could see me again! I didn't even know what to say!

I haven't had an eH dates yet, but I have a few contenders for worst date experience ever from other sites:


I met a guy at a coffee shop halfway between his place and mine. And I do mean exactly "halfway": he wanted to pick the coffee shop and took about a week finding a place that was EXACTLY halfway so that neither of us had to drive farther than the other. Takes equity a bit too far IMO but okay, we all have our quirks...


When he walked up, he was easily 350 pounds and probably 150 pounds larger than his picture. And he was hooked up to an oxygen tank! Between labored breaths he greeted me, and after we paused for a moment so that he could get his breath we went in and sat down. Apparently he'd just had open heart surgery. This didn't stop him from ordering the biggest, greasiest sandwich in the place and consuming it in about three bites, chewing with his mouth open, telling me how he'd been used by women over the years who saw him as a sugar daddy (he was a security guard).


Then he leaned over to me, smiled with food stuck between his teeth, and said, "I think you're the one." I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
ROFLMAO You had me at oxygen tank. New winner I think?

Ok, the ball is starting to roll along with this one, and the stories are getting better, so I intend to intermittently share my bad date stories and try my best to clean them up in an effort to not offend anyone. WARNING: The Following Bad Date Story Contains References to Adult Situations and Sexual References...If You Are Offended By Such Material, Please Skip Over This Post. But it's rather amusing, though it still isn't my worst date ever. Here goes. I had been dating this girl for almost a year, and we decided to take a trip to an art museum in KC, I think it was called the Nelson Atkins (it's been years since this happened), which was several hours away. We weren't familiar with the area, so we purchased a map in case we got lost. She insisted that we take her car, guess she didn't like the idea of 2 hours on the back of my Harley! The trip to the museum was uneventful, and we found the museum no problem with the help of MapQuest directions. Once inside, we revelled in awe at all the awesome artwork we were seeing, as well as playfully flirting back and forth. After a few hours we decided to leave the museum and head home. She insisted on driving this time, so I couldn't argue as it was her car. [Enter fates stage right, tell of impending tragedy] Immediately upon leaving the museum, she heads in the opposite direction of the interstate and straight into gangland/ghetto territory. Needless to say, after passing a couple of groups of gangbangers throwing us gang signs, she was scared out of her mind and I was getting rather worried about our safety. So she decided to whip the car around in a very small parking lot and wound up jumping the curb (I think we cleared the sidewalk!) and back out onto the street. The impact ripped the front spoiler completely off the car, but we sure as hell didn't stop to assess the damage. As we raced back to the interstate, I was quiet as a churchmouse, and seroiusly wondering if this would turn into a demolition derby before all was said and done. Well, we safely made it back to the interstate, and a few miles down the road we were back to laughing at the situation, and back to our flirting again. Needless to say, we were madly in love and the tension between us was a little too hot to bear. She saw a roadside park and raced to a secluded spot with flat track finesse. I know what you all are thinking, but it was getting dark outside, raining, and our adrenaline was pumping so strong that it seemed like a good idea at the time. Wasting no time, we jumped into the back seat and....well use your imagination here. Anyway, a few minutes into it, I saw her eyes grow wide with terror and she started screaming like she'd just seen the gates of Hell open and demons start pouring out! I whirled around ready to rip someone to the frame just in time to see a very elderly gentleman briskly walking back to his car. Turns out she'd left the headlights on, and the poor guy was just walking over to tell us. We left the roadside park faster than a cheetah with it's tail on fire....it was a very quiet ride home. She avoided me for about a week, then we resumed our dating escapades. I have to say that was the most embarrassing/scary baddate I've ever been on.

OK - here's mine - and I'm a bit wary of writing this because anyone can read these boards they are open to the public, but oh well, I'll try and make it not too "out there".


Like some of the others' stories, this is not from eH either, but another site. I met and communicated with this guy for a total of about 8 months. He was on the other side of the world, I was here. I ended it a couple of times during the 8 months because he had a knack of putting people down and I don't like that. If I said I was cold, his response would be "You wouldn't know what cold was", not in a lighthearted way, but in a very derogatory tone of voice.


This was also the man who hated his grandmother, mother, ex-wife and thought his daughtgers were pretty useless too, that I posted about the other day.


Anyway, we got to the point where I agreed to fly to visit him. He indicated he woiuld pay me half the airfare when I got there, although I didn't plan on that happening. The logic was I had never been there and if all had gone well, I'd have been the one moving at least for four years. He had been here. I needed to see the country.


We had used a webcam to ensure we were both who we said we were. He said he was still very active, playing cricket and golf regularly.


When I got there, I discovered he was obese - how he hid that on webcam I am not sure, but it didn't show in his face and I recalled he was always careful not to stand. This was weird, as he had told me this story about how he went to the USA to meet a woman once only to discover all her photos were about 15 years old and she was obese and he felt the victim of fraud.


How he played any sport is beyond me, as he couldn't even keep up with me walking, in fact he strained a calf muscle.


He'd fall asleep at 8pm, then be up and awake at 3am, but was always tired.


I felt I had been lied to. He said he needed my support to lose the weight. Huh?


Clearly I wasn't over the moon at paying out $2,000 to visit someone who was not at all what he had presented himself as.


I knew one person in that country and tried to call her but she had gone somewhere else for a sports event and I couldn't contact her. I came home.


I spent 48 hours in the air and about 36 on the ground. He dropped me at the airport at about 9am to wait for a 10pm flight. He had the audacity to kiss me on the cheek at the airport!


There's more, but I think that will be enough to give everyone the idea.


Now I make people standup on web cam! LMAO. I might even be tempted to ask for pictures in the shower (as opposed to those taken in the bathroom mirror that everyone posts about!).
