Your most memorable / disastrous dates?

I remember being single, meeting up with a woman on waterloo station. I remember a woman walked to about 20 meters, then veered and walked past me. I was expecting her profile pic but she looked different enough that I didn’t recognise her.

Also drove to cambridge to meet up with a woman, basically her parents has died and left her everything so she owned her own house outright, was looking for someone with equal financials (this is a late 20s person), and so it was a no go because I didn't own my own house nor drive a Range Rover. Pity as she was bang up my isle in terms of brains and beauty.

I remember another that was more interested in shopping, spending money (she'd maxed her CC) and pretty much seemed to live on cabbage. She stated her expectation was that the man worked and the woman spent the money. Intelligent but nope..

I remember one gf turned out to be 34GG, my first experience of pillow sized boobs, but was pretty vacant mentally. It was almost like she had early onset Alzheimers. Turns out her mum had been diagnosed as early onset Alzheimers whilst we were dating. She was nice but it was like she was distant even when she was present. I learnt that I preferred brains over bust from that and I made for a opportune exit.

I remember being at the airport to go snowboarding with mates. We sat in the queue to get rebooked. I'd join a little ahead of the others and was next to a lovely Scandinavian woman who proceeded to chat me up.. All I heard was the group (lads and lasses) cheering and one loud voice saying "He's pulled and we haven't even got on the plane yet". Yeah it was odd.. don't know her name but we just clicked, and seemed to be mutually attracted without being awkward and she was off.. so I assume she had a bf back home..

I remember one date where she was violently sick out of the car due to motion sickness and the heated seat was on. We’ve been married for ages :)

Met a girl when utterly smashed, agreed to pick her up the next weekend and go to the Cinema.....obviously forgot, I was in the town centre about 2 weeks later and this random girl came over raging at me, I had no clue who she was but I apologised loads and asked her out the next weekend. You know that awful thing when you have been drunk and can't remember until someone tells you what you did and then you kind of remember, it was worse than that, I sort of remembered her hair but that was it.....oh and I remembered slow dancing to Take That, I think it was a million love songs, yes yes I am that old.

We went to see sister act, not long into the movie I tried the smooth "arm over her shoulder move" but she must have wondered what I was doing and sort of turned as I raised my elbow, I mean it wasn't fully a black eye but it looked sore, we left the movie early as she was quite upset (obviously eh!), walked to the car park where I had left my car and found that someone had smashed almost all of my car windows and stolen my stereo. We had to walk to a phone (remember no mobile phones) and call her dad to take her home, my first meeting with the bloke was presenting his daughter with a nice red eye caused mainly by me trying to cop a feel.

We were together for about 14 years before divorcing, looking back at the first date at least we had a good first story to tell but maybe someone/something was just trying to say "just give this one up lad".
 
I've been on some right epics.... been on a few that I didn't know it was dates until someone else pointed it out it was a "date"...
There was this girl I worked with and we always finished work roughly at the same time.. so we would walk with each other to the car park, I would wait till she got in her car especially in winter when it was dark as the car park was a fair bit away from the office and not in a public area.

Anyway, one Christmas I was asked if I was going out for my work do, all the departments have spearate work dos and I said "yes"... she say's she make sure that she meet me during it as we was all going to the same area of Manchester on the same evening... "Oh Ok"...

We met at a pub.... I got a her a drink, then I got an alert on my phone. This pokemon that I been hunting for months for on pokemon go had just appeared in the area!
"Can you hold my drink please" and I ran out, pushing all the grandmas aside as I rushed to get this pokemon.
Thankfully I caught it!!! got to catch 'em all!
I got back to the pub and everyone else was gone to the another pub... she was stood there holding my pint not looking too impressed... not even when I showed her my new pokemon!

She told me that she had a new job and won't be back at work again, she's not told her boss as she didn't like her.. and I was like "oh... this is likely to be the last time I see you then?"
anyway we finished our drinks and made our way back to our separate work dos..

Told the lads that I work with that she was was living, and they wasn't impressed that we didn't exchange numbers or anything.. they won't impressed with my new pokemon either!
 
I've had a few memorable dates.

Had a date with one girl who literally didn't stop talking for the entire date. She was very pretty but was constantly on transmit and never asked a thing about me.

There wasn't a second date.

One girl I dated I met through a friend. She worked in a restaurant in town and we agreed to meet after she finished work. She was very smartly dressed, average looks but quite a nice package.

We went back to her flat after a few drinks and it was an absolute tip, like a teenagers bedroom but worse. Dirty clothes draped over the furniture, dirty plates and cups all over the place and I don't mean in the sink, I mean on chairs, the coffee table etc. For some reason I distinctly remember a foil yogurt lid stuck (with that bit of yogurt you get inside the lid) casually on an arm of the sofa.

I'm ashamed to say I spent the night there. The organ making decisions was not my brain.

Her bedroom was a tip and surrounding her bed, no word of a lie, was a two foot thick row of empty wine bottles, which had to be stepped over to get into bed. Maybe she took home nearly empty bottles from work, maybe she drank the whole lot, who knows.

We didn't meet again.

One girl I dated didn't like me and though she wasn't rude, I read the signals and bid her farewell.

A few days later she messaged via the dating site me saying hi, as if she'd never met me, saying she'd like to get to know me. I told her we'd met a few days ago. She didn't respond :)

One girl I met for a drink seemed nice and we arranged to meet for dinner at a Thai restaurant. Dinner was nice and when they brought out hot towels she started whistling and used one to clean her armpits.

We've been together for ten years now lol.
 
Worst:
I can remember one where I picked up a girl that was super shy and she said nothing the whole night. The trouble was that I too was Uber shy and inexperienced with girls. We sat in Yates for what felt like an eternity. So awkward. She was also way less attractive than when I had seen her last, when I was wearing high quality beer goggles.
Then we decided to go, so I took her home. This is the part where ......yeah nah...she got out, said bye and walked in her house. I felt like a failure.

Best:
Went out with the hottest/wildest girl. The date was like out of the movies. First kiss on a bridge...went home...slept together. Felt like she was the one...
She was! We are married.
 
Also, does anyone remember that hilarious thread where someone on here accidentally left the house with a pair of socks down their trousers? Lol I swear it was on here.

Took 3 different girls to The 6th Sense - had to feign surprise at the twist despite knowing it was coming! One of the dates, i picked her up from home, she said hi, and not a single word after, even after dropping her off - weird AF. She was very fit, but found out later that she was on/off with someone else and also may have being pregnant at the time of our 'date'.

Went on a foursome blind date, mates girlfriends mate - holy poop, fit and GG's!! She had recently split up with her boyfriend and was out for revenge - yey. Was walking back home together and another mate passed us in his car, he pulled over to say hi and the girl leant into his car window. He asked what we were up to and she told him she was going back to mine for a shag - first i'd heard of it, but game on!

Got off with a girl in a nightclub. I was wearing white jeans, she was sitting on my lap. Later that night the lights went on and i had an arse shaped orange blob on my crotch, my shirt was covered and my face was a bit orange too - heat, crap fake tan - looked like i'd been tango'd.

Took a girl back to mine for coffee, nothing happened, but really liked her. Called her a taxi and as i was waving her off, she kicked the door open, turned to face me and said "coming back to mine or not?" - nothing smooth from me, i bolted into the taxi and been married 20 years :)

Cannot really remember dates as I have been with the same women for 18 years but I do remember one girl I had a 1 night stand with when I was 17. When I saw her next up town she was urinating standing up in the middle of town at about 11pm with her skirt held up with one hand and the other on her bits. Was quite impressive tbh.

I had a date many moons back and we'd arranged to meet in a local pub.
I was early which makes a change for me and I sat waiting with a drink facing the door.
A while later, the door opens and a single female comes in and starts walking towards me.
All I'm thinking is no, please don't be (she didn't look like her pics) but yep, it was her.

I spent the next hour listening to her tell me about how she grew up living in a pub with her parents owning it and how much she could now drink.
I then did something I'd never done before and told her I didn't feel well and needed to go. We walked out to the car park and she said I've had a lovely time, would you like to meet again?
I recall being quite blunt with her and saying no, I'd rather not and then walking back to my car.


Another girl I'd met online seemed quite nice and we'd progressed to talking on the phone a couple of times.
One night, my phone rang and it was her. I answered and she was totally smashed at home by herself. She wasn't making much sense at all and then proceeded to start singing Elvis songs down the phone!
She messaged the next day and apologised but I left that one there.


I've just had another pop into my head.
Another girl I'd met online. We arranged to meet up for a drink during the day as we were both off and although I wasn't too sure what I thought, I was rolling with the date as such.
I can't remember how long we were out but she asked if I wanted to go back to hers and of course I obliged.
We make it to the bedroom, lay down and I take her jeans off. We're kissing and my hand wonders downstairs. After however long, I happen to look down at my hand and it's covered in blood :o
Things stopped there, she was apologising profusely and we didn't see each other again.
 
Last year, I was at Cream @ Kasbah nightclub in Coventry. A girl around my age went up to me, said she liked my t-shirt and danced with me for about 5 minutes. She didn't seem drunk but she was making all of the moves / initiatives, flirting. I thought I had scored, but then a guy pulled her away from me and I never saw either of them again.

I spoke to a gay friend about this. I wasn't sure why she did this, but my friend said it's quite common to happen with straight people and maybe the girl was doing it to **** off her boyfriend.
 
Not really had disasters.

One girl bought her sister on the date, I guess she was scared I might be a psycho or something. So then I had two women to win over instead of 1.

That went alright though, we dated for a few weeks and got some sexy times out of it. Nice girl actually, She had Greek parents but came from New Zealand.
 
Prior to being with my current partner I was a serial dater but I don't think I had any really bad dates. Nothing that stands out... which maybe means I was the bad date!!

The only one I ever chalked up as bad, and I played my own part in this, was when I went on a date with someone. We met at the Thekla in Bristol. She was a nice individual and we got along well over messages but unbeknownst to me she was tall. I'm not exactly a short guy at 5'11 but she had to easily be 6'3 or so. It just really put me off of her - it's a me thing, i guess! So I did the cowardly thing and bailed half way through with an excuse.
 
18 year old me gets talking to a lass. We both love anchorman, keep dropping quotes to each other oh how we laughed.

First meet up I see her and ask her if she got her clothes from the toilet store - she doesn't catch on, sheer look of horror on her face, offended. Immediately goes home and blocks me, never seen again.
 
Got chatting to a girl on one of the online dating sites, back when it was still a newish thing. Got on really well through messages, arranged to meet up. She looked nothing like her pictures, and while she seemed nice enough in person, I just wasn't feeling it. I don't understand why girls do that. Sure, try to take a picture to show you at your best, but if it gets to the point your using 5 year old pictures from obscure angles to make yourself look completely different, it's invariably going to end in disappointment for both parties :confused:

Had quite a similar experience actually.

Flying over to Sweden and notice a cute girl and her (female) friend in the queue to board. Part way through the flight, a baby/toddler a few rows back is getting a bit fed up/upset, I'm on the aisle seat so I turn round and start making silly faces at them to distract them (which works). Cute girl 1 row back on the opposite side of the aisle notices, and gives me an awesome smile, and we spend the rest of the flight chatting.

A couple of days later I randomly bump into her and her friend waiting at a tram stop; they're going to explore the islands, would I like to come with them? Stupid me says I'm in the middle of something, but we could catch up later and get her number.

Turns out the number doesn't work, whether I wrote it down wrong, missed a number, I don't know (maybe I read the situation wrong and she just gave a fake number?), either way, I definitely regret not getting on that tram with her!

===

The last "date" I had was pretty disastrous too actually. Girl I worked with, so we knew each other quite well already - I offered to cook her a nice meal. Went round to hers to make something nice - can't remember exactly what but some kind of pasta which included lemon, salmon, it turned out really well, lovely flaky salmon, with a perfect sear on the skin, nice bottle of wine etc. 2 problems; a) she had a ridiculously low* extractor hood above the cooker, with very sharp corners. Managed to put a nasty cut in my forehead while cooking, which somewhat spoiled the mood... b) turns out she can't stand lemon. Or salmon. *oops*.

Still I guess the date can't have gone that badly, as this was 14 years ago, as we're still together with 2 kids (and yes, that extractor hood got me many more times until she moved out of that flat and we got a place together!)


* well, it was probably a perfect height for her, but right at head height for me :p

Met up with a woman from POF.com

There were some proper horrors on PoF back in the day!
I was single about 15 years ago before the advent of Tinder etc so scatter gunned the various dating sites. I met quite a few that didn't go anywhere but did meet my missus on one, despite her standing me up twice.
The worst ones I remember were these.. One invited me over to hers as a first date, not a great area and she was a bit scroaty but I went with it. Turns out she had several kids upstairs. Another one, we went to a pub near to us to meet, she rocked up, took one look at me and said "oh, you look different to how I imagine", proceeded to neck her drink and left 10 minutes later. The last one I'd seen a few times. She was a bit posh but we got on well so we went out to grab some food. I licked my knife while eating and she pulled me up on it, so me being me, did it again. She then told me she felt ill, we left and she never spoke to me again.

You licked the knife like how Hannibal Hector would lick a knife didn’t you?
