How do you guys answer the "Describe the worst date you've ever been on." question?

I just got it and I have no idea if I should tell the story or make up something lame like, "it's all experience so as long as I'm learning it can't be bad"....it's a funny story. Gross. But funny.

I answer truthfully.

The worth one I had she got lost (pre-cell phone era), and I gave up after 40 minutes or so.

I subsequently met her a different day.

I am honest..I dont lie about stuff like that. The worst date...actually there were two for different reasons...

The one bad one was when she brought her child with her for our first time meeting. She could have cancelled if she couldnt find a sitter--no biggie.

second was the worst was for a very different reason....I went out with her we hit it off and actually kissed--passionate open mouth kiss. (I usually dont on a first date) but then she didnt want to communicate with me and kept cancelling our next date.

I got set up one time. We agreed to meet at a local restaurant. She was late and when she arrived, the first thing she told me was she had no plans of eating anything. I should have bailed right then and there.

Trying to strike up conversation was like talking to a wall. I think I've had more engaging conversations with my cat. The longest she talked was when she was saying how unhealthy my dinner was and how her Weight Watchers program would not approve of what I was eating.

The date maybe lasted 30 minutes, mostly because it was a busy night and I had to wait on my food.

I would answer truthfully.

I would tell you my worst date story, but I'll just give you a link to the thread instead.

Okay, I was responsible for someone's worst date of all time. I invited her to the movies, a double-bill showing "Eraserhead and "Freaks". As I dropped her off at home after the movie she gave me a kiss on the cheek and said "That was interesting..."

Funny thing is, although the romance was dead, extinct, no more..., we're still friends 25 years later. Our families still get together throughout the year and we continue to enjoy each others company. We don't however watch any movies together..., ever!

I think it's interesting to hear everyone's story, instead of just the answer to the op's question.

Yeah, no ones answering the question...but the stories are totally awesome!

So, I'll throw in my worst date story...please advise if I should make something else up...I know I need to shorten it but I need to think about that some more. Here goes:

So, three months ago I had my first eharmony date. I was so excited. When he arrived at my place I was shocked...he looked 20 years older than his pic (and he was only 28!) and about 60 pounds heavier than his pic. He came in and we sat around talking (we had just had a really bad snow storm the day before and the roads were crazy- I don't normally invite people I don't know in).

So a few hours later we went for dinner. Which went fine. He talked a lot but that might have been nervousness I thought. He paid, I made the purse grab and thanked him. We came back to my place and I thanked him in the car for the lovely evening...I got out...and realised he was getting out too. I thought "he must be walking me to the door- what a gentleman"...but he came in my door...and started to take off his shoes. "Would you like to come in for tea?" I asked as he was already walking up the stairs. "Yes"...he went into the bathroom and I boiled water. Then I called one of my girlfriends to let her know I was alive...then I went upstairs and talked to my roomate...came back downstairs, made the tea...sat on my couch...for 15 minutes I sat there waiting... I mean shouldn't the date be over if you need to poo? So, when he came out, he didn't say anything (I mean, what can you say?) and stayed for another 2 hours!! By now this was a 7 hour date and midnight. I started falling alseep on the couch...I finally realised I was going to have to tell him to leave. Luckily, I never heard from him again...

But now, every time a friend or I goes on a date, the first question asked after a not so great date is, "well, did he poo?"

Wow! I wish we could tell crazies before meeting them. Still, I don't see the reason to ask this question. It doesn't tell me anything about my match, only an amusing little story.
