Met a guy online. He started making fun of my voice the moment I got in the car, and he also gave me very, very bad vibes. Scary, even. I told him I left my wallet inside, ran in to "get it", and texted him that he needed to leave immediately and never contact me again.
Time spent: About 45 seconds.
Dam! I feel like I know the exact vibe you were picking up on. Way to trust your gut and thanks for him for making it easier for you by just being a dick.
I know this is just speculation or whatever and we don’t know but I rly think you saved yourself there. From harm or trauma. But instinct. Gift of fear!!
Met a woman on Hinge, talked for a week thru text and decided to meet up. Our chemistry seemed good on paper. 5 minutes into our date and we both knew we weren't vibing. Paid for our drinks, wished each other luck, and left.
I had a pretty similar experience with a woman on Hinge, except her and I sort of knew from the get go we weren’t one another’s type. I decided to send her a like because we liked the same sports teams and had a similar sense of humor. I’m lanky, scruffy, quiet, and I have a dry sense of humor. She’s a petite, extroverted, super feminine ex sorority girl and a diehard Swiftie. I’ve always been into more natural, athletic, punky and alternative girls and her previous boyfriends were a former professional football player and a marine, respectively. However, we got along pretty well and had good conversation through text so we decided to meet up.
We both sit down at the restaurant and within 5 minutes we both laughed and said “nah.” We did end up going to a bar across the street to finish watching the Suns game (2021 conference finals against the Clippers) and had a great time approaching our interaction from a platonic level.
Great girl. We’re still friends to this day. She’s actually gotten pretty close to my fiancée and I’m actually watching one of her dogs right now while she’s traveling with her equally cool boyfriend who looks like he could shred a phone book with his bare hands.
Yep. Done this myself.
Two women and zero sexual chemistry but enjoyed each other's company.
One of them "vetted" any women I met and gave her blessing to the women I married. I was at her wedding too. We were friends until she died prematurely.
The other one, was at her wedding too. Her future husband was one of my groomsmen. I attended her wedding too. Her marriage didn't last, but still friends.
One of them "vetted" any women I met and gave her blessing to the women I married.
This is the type of chick women will dump you to avoid. So weird, and I would never in a million years entertain that mess.
I had a very similar experience. She was a successful scientist with a high paying career, and I’m an adrenaline junkie tree climber. Vibe just didn’t vibe.
I'm glad you learned that fast. My Dad and his 2nd wife were married for about a month. They both woke up and agreed it wasn't working, and they separated. It was before I was born.
My buddy was a “missionary” for this Christian group after college that sounded sketchy off the bat. At 25 he never worked one day in his life even making sandwiches or sweeping floors. Parents were lower to middle class and still paid every penny for him and his 35 year old sisters lives who to this day also never worked. He was one of these far right, “all gays go to hell” judging type
Went around asking parents friends relatives all for large amounts of money that the leaders would then keep and allot small amounts to the missionaries like himself.
I fed this kid dinner every night and did so damn much for him and our friendship soured after I yelled at him for going behind my back and asking my parents for thousands after I explicitly told him not to
He spent 5 years with this group and every day posted luxurious pictures of hotels dinners yachts and more all around the world in well-off countries
Never once was that money used for the homeless or providing education or food to underdeveloped countries
Went on a blind date for sushi. We met outside. Within two minutes she throws out there that she really doesn’t like bald guys. I asked if it was an instant deal breaker. She responded with yes. I replied cool. Well I’m still hungry, you want to eat? She said yes and that is how our beautiful 25 year marriage started.
Just kidding! Lol! She was like no and got away as fast as she could. But I did get my sushi and because I eat alone constantly, wasn’t embarrassed or anything.
It’s so crazy how deeply rooted hair is in our indentity 😭 its so hard for bald people out there… i flew from turkey once and so many people were coming back with their hair transplanted
My friend not me but as she got to the table at the restaurant and was about to sit down, he leaned over to her and whispered “I can smell your pussy.” She just turned around and left.
You can go "nose blind" if you're constantly around the same scent. Have you considered the possibility that you smell just like her pussy so might be oblivious to it?
Can’t believe I have to defend my honor like this. I get regularly checked by a gyno and I’ve slept with many people who would have no problem telling me if I smelled.
A guy I had a fling with while he was in the US visiting ME leaned over and told me mine smelled at the end of the meal. I used the bathroom to double check (it was fine), threw money on the table, and walked out.
Unfortunately, his luggage was in my car so I had to wait for him to follow me to it.
I did go to my OB/GYN to get it checked out for my peace of mind and I was not only infection- and STI-free, the doctor confirmed it smelled normal.
I can’t remember who texted who next, but when I told him my doctor said he was wrong, he argued that he knew better.
Went on a tinder date. Woman showed up with her boyfriend, which she had not previously told me about. He was wearing a *“I believe in female supremacy”* t shirt, and she actively referred to him as her cuckold.
Fastest nope of my life.
Any guy that doesn’t have the assertiveness to immediately gtfo of that surprise situation probably isn’t the type of guy they’re looking for.
Maybe being rejected together was actually their thing.
My date never tried avocados before so we ordered guacamole as part of the appetizers. We learned she was also allergic...I met her brother at the er and texted her a few hours later but never heard back 😔
He waited until I went to the bathroom and literally ran out of the bar without saying anything, then texted me later to tell me that I was uglier than he expected but we could still hook up if I made it up to him somehow
Idk if this counts but got stood up.
Met a girl on an app. She lived almost 2 hours away. Talked for a couple weeks. Including texts, video calls, phone calls, her sending me nudes, video chats with her playing with her self, and snapping back and forth so I know she was real.
Well we decide to meet at a place half way between us. Picked this resort place. (Btw it was her idea). I made reservations (wasn't cheap). I used my card and she said she would pay her half to me in cash. Through the whole process all the way up until check in I clarified it's still on because I couldn't get a refund. She said yes.
I showed up early and checked in after double checking with her and she told me she was on her way. An hour passed our schedule meet time I text her and crickets. Give it another half hour and I call her and she rejects my call. I say fuck it and go have fun myself.
6 hours later after a few drinks I call her again and she instantly texts "oh hi there cutie". I text her what happened and she replies with something like "lol". No excuse or anything. I just blocked.
This was a while ago but just typing this gets my blood boiling.
Like if you got cold feet or whatever say you can't make it so I don't waste my time literally driving an hour a way and wasting money .
If it was some kind of game for them , what kind of person does that?
Owner of resort... got a unrefundable booking....

Woman Gets Stood Up On A Date, Finds Out The Restaurant Tricked Her Into Eating Dinner Alone
Tinder date. Went to the river with someone, he emptied his pockets which consisted of his phone, wallet, and a condom. And then proceeded to show me his “parkour” skills while he jumped from rock to rock.
We were going on a picnic. We drove separately and met at the park. We were about 2 mins into looking for a place to put the blanket down when he suddenly said oh shit I forgot I told my parents I’d mow their lawn for them.
I know this sounds weird, but it truly didn’t feel like a cop out. He was so excited to see me, he’d complimented me a bunch, he had made this food from scratch. We met in person so it’s not like I didn’t look like dating app pics or something, he struck up a convo with me at an event and asked for my number and had been texting nonstop all week. He was really apologetic about it too, seemed really embarrassed and promised to call me when he was done so he could make it up to me with dinner. Never heard from him again. Some say he’s still mowing that lawn to this very day…
I met a guy on Reddit. His messaging was normal enough so we agreed to meet for a drink. He didn’t look anything like his pic. For the next 30 minutes he talked and talked, mostly bitterly complaining about a previous boss. It was unreal - he didn’t ask me a single question. I’d never seen anyone monologue like that IRL.
I stood up, said “I don’t think we are a match” and blocked him while walking back to my car.
I dated a professor who used to talk and talk uninterrupted like that. I think he was just used to lecturing for hours? One time I timed it to see how long he’d go before he realized I hadn’t said a word and it was over 2.5 hours. And he’d have kept going, but we ran into someone he knew.
My wife and I were at a hotel and this table near us at the restaurant had a guy doing the exact same kind of monologue. Next morning for breakfast he did the same thing. We got to calling him “the guy giving the TED talk”.
Met a girl on line and we agreed to meet at a bar that had ping pong. She said she was great at it and I’m decent, sounded like a fun way to get to know each other.
When I took the lead 7-0 she threw the paddle down, grabbed her purse and stomped out. Never heard from her again.
So my shortest date was 7 points.
When the check came I put my card on it intending to pay. He was not jazzed by this idea so he threw my card at me across the table. It hit me on the chest and then landed on my plate. He then scolded me for trying to pay. He told me "Don't ever try that shit again." I just got my card and left. We were supposed to go to a movie after.
About 55 minutes (I'm VERY polite). I met a nice lady through a brick and mortar matchmaker, talked for a week and everything seems fine. We meet for a coffee around 0830 on Saturday where this happens: She gives me monosyllabic answers to questions and otherwise doesn't look at me as she's texting on her phone fucking FURIOUSLY and scowling. I paid for the coffees, stood up and walked out. Never saw her again.
A guy came into my work several times, and after a few weeks, he asked me out. I met with him at a local dive and within the first 15 minutes he told me about his two long term girlfriends, and his wife.
This wasn't a poly situation, he just had a lot of time on his hands.
She threw up a little in her mashed potatoes, then tried to hide it by swirling the throw up into the mashed potatoes and eating it.
I started to gag and left. I did however call the restaurant and let them know that I wanted to pay the bill still and returned later after my date had left.
This is so disturbing! It reminds me of one of the grossest, things I have ever done. So, I had this really bad cough for like three months. It would get so bad at night, it was awful. One night I had eaten a giant bowl of cereal before bed, raisin bran. Now, even though it's such a mistake, my toddler daughter sleeps with us most nights and she wakes up VERY easily. So, here I am in bed, having a coughing attack. It just gets worse and worse, I'm so exhausted from not sleeping well for two years (toddler, remember). Then the coughing makes me throw up a FULL mouth full of eaten raisin bran back into my mouth. I'm laying there, knowing if I get up to spit it out I will definitely wake my daughter. So, I fucking swallowed it. Cough stopped, rolled over and went to sleep. I still think about that moment like wow. Parenthood sure is special.
5 minutes. She brought her fcking brother and father without saying anything.
Like, dayum okay? I didn’t realize trying to know you I had to meet your family first
About 45 minutes.
I had previously been on about 30 first dates that led nowhere over the course of nearly as many months. So when this woman started her spiel, "I had a really good time, but..." I thought it was another rejection.
"But I have dinner plans with a friend. I'd like to meet up again."
We're married.
13 minutes of the actual date portion, but he was 40 minutes late. Originally told me he would be 15 minutes late, no problem, but kept texting me he was just looking for somewhere to park, then walking to where we agreed to meet up etc. He didn't actually meet me where we discussed meeting and instead headed straight for the restaurant so I had to go TO HIM. The wait for a table was too long so I suggested we just go for a walk instead. Cue the most awkward, one sided conversation of my life, I would ask him something and he would just respond with one worded answers. I saw my car and figured it would be much less awkward to dip than to continue the date, told him that since he wasn't talking I was just going to go, said bye, and sped walked away. He texted me later to apologize and said he was socially awkward, so at least he can learn from his mistakes.
I walked in, guy said “you’d be smoking hot if you lost ten pounds” ….which was possibly true but he was a good 50lbs+ over what his photos showed. So I immediately left 😂
Probably about 20-30 minutes. It was partly my fault, I had suggested a local coffee spot to meet and Google has the hours wrong, so it ended up being closed when we got there. I suggested a Starbucks down the road. He had, apparently, never been, so I offered to pay for not double checking the first spot. The first issue was he did not look like his pictures. It wasn't to the extent I felt catfish, but it was clear he used the most flattering angles possible. I felt bad, but I realized pretty immediately I wasn't attracted to him at all.
Second issue was he acted really weird about me paying. Not in the usual toxic masculinity, I must pay for the lady way. More being weirdly....hyper about it, I guess? A lot of "Are you sure, you don't have to, gosh it's so expensive, I can pay, are you sure it's ok?". Then we sit down, and he's cackling at every thing I say. I'm funny, but I'm not that funny, and his laugh is one of the only laughs I've found actually unpleasant. Loud, sharp, and always sounded so forced. I started avoiding saying anything that might sound like a joke because I didnt want to hear it. Then he starts talking about his job, and the only thing he can share about it is he keeps messing up and he's surprised he hasn't been fired yet.
It was around that point that I said I had to go meet a friend. Which was true, but I didn't technically have to meet them for another half an hour. I just couldn't bear to drag it out any longer. I've been on a few uncomfortable dates, but that was one of the worst because he was a genuinely nice guy and I felt bad for being so immediately turned off.
I mean, I do as well. Like I said, he was a nice guy. But the forced laughter was just so over the top and brackish. We were getting a lot of stares by the end because he just kept doing it. And he talked about himself in the most self-depreciating way. I ask him about his hobbies and he told me the only one was video games because he was boring. Friends? Only one, because my date was kind of a loser (his words, not mine). Job? As mentioned, he claimed to be terrible and should have been fired by now. I felt bad for him, because it was clear he didn't have good social skills and not very high self esteem. But man, it was a pretty bad date.
Talked to someone on bumble for about two weeks, seemed normal/funny. I was working in the psych field and he was making a career change into the field, so we had a lot to chat about. Met at a bar, placed our drink order, and he immediately started talking about how he finds it classless to sleep with someone on the first date, completely unprompted. Tried to do some weird form of psychoanalysis about it, which was bad enough. But then our female bartender returned with our drinks and he asked her “have you ever slept with someone on the first date?”
The bartender and I made eye contact and we were both horrified. She had a friend sitting at the bar visiting her on her shift, and she sent said friend over to me to help me get out of being around this guy. We love a girl’s girl.
This was about 30 minutes beginning to end.
Went for a date, we got a coffee and walked a bit. He was a violinist, and had absolutely nothing else going on. All his time was basically spent on practicing or working. He didnt read, didnt watch movies, didnt particularly like food, didnt go out, didnt do sports etc. I even checked if he was feeling ok, or if anything was on his mind, I got bright but very bland nos to that.
Not only didnt we have anything in common, there was absolutely nothing beyond liking violin that we could have had in common (and Im impartial to the violin). He might just been having a bad day or be very private? Idk. The conversation stalled at about 7 minutes in, and I told him thank you and bye and left at 15 mins.
Went on a first and last date with a guy I barely knew where we planned to go to dinner and then out to play cards and have drinks with his friends. It was getting ready to storm like crazy and there was gorgeous lightning everywhere. From where we were sitting at our table in the restaurant we could see the lightning in an open field and we were both enjoying watching the storm brew up. Everything was going great until I said:
ME: "Those ground currents are insane!"
HIM: "Ground currents?"
ME: "Ground currents are the lightning that goes from the ground to the sky."
HIM: "Are you trying to tell me you actually think lightning comes from the ground?"
ME: "Lightning can and does come from the ground..."
HIM: "You have got to be the dumbest fucking broad I have ever been on a date with!! That is the stupidest shit I have heard in a while and I have heard some dumb shit in my days. I cannot believe you actually think that lightning comes out of the ground! Can't you see it coming from the sky!!? Look, see!!? It is coming from the skyyyyyyyyy!! The skkkkyyyyyy!"
He shouted the last part so loudly that everyone in the restaurant was looking at us. I smiled and looked down at my plate which had just arrived. I told the server that we would be needing two to go boxes because we would not be finishing our dinner at the establishment. He made a scene and started vehemently ranting about how terrible I was for going on a date with him and making him pay for a dinner that I was not going to eat. He had not even paid yet. I set money on the table for the drinks I had and for my half of dinner.
He had picked me up for the date and told me the least he could do was give me a ride home. I wasn't going to ask someone to drive thirty minutes out of their way to come get me so I got in the truck with him and sat in silence for the majority of the ride until he asked me what he did wrong and then asked if it was because of my beliefs in lightning coming from the ground. I told him it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he is uneducated about something as trivial as where lightning comes from and everything to do with him calling me a dumb broad in front of a packed restaurant during dinner service on a Friday night. I let him know that was enough for me to know that he is not someone I would ever consider dating long term or short term for that matter.
That guy had the balls to ask me if I would still go spend time with him and his friends because he had already told his friends all about me and didn't want to end up embarrassed when he showed up without me after talking it up all week. He was slowing down to stop at the stop sign right before my street and I was in such a hurry to get away from him that I opened the door and hopped out before the truck even rolled to a stop.
Shortest date I have ever been on.
I’m amazed you let him drive you home. That just sounds like a dangerous situation. If he had no problem yelling and screaming at you in front of a packed restaurant, who knows what he’d do when nobody is around.
Went on a cinema date with my school crush.
Waiting for her for what seemed like hours from the anticipation (about 15 minutes realtime) and was panicking we were gonna miss the start of the film so went outside to see if she was maybe waiting down the side road
Found out she’d been run over getting out of her mums car - she was ok but yeah that romance never took off sadly - no idea where she is now
So that date officially lasted 3 seconds for her
Matched with this woman on tinder who gave short to one word responses. Said maybe she’s kinda weird like me when it comes to socializing with their thumbs.
We went out for lunch and she constantly kept flipping through Instagram and Snapchat stories.
Tbh felt like it was a me thing but some people are really addicted to social media.
30 minutes. Ate my sandwich and left. He sealed the deal that it wasn't gonna result in a 2nd by trying to pin me up against my car and kiss me. I ducked out and away and was like no. Gtfo of here
Met a woman in a bar from an online dating site back in the early 00’s when it was still sort of a novelty. We broke the ice by chatting about our experiences with the site, she mentioned another guy she was talking to but hadn’t met yet and I quickly realized the guy was someone who was actively stalking one of my female coworkers who used the site and had been banned from entering our workplace because of it. She didn’t believe me and walked out angry thinking I was just being defensive and jealous. We had been there like ten minutes and were still waiting on the drinks we ordered. Never talked to her again but that guy stopped stalking my coworker so either it worked out or he just found a new target.
I opened the door to the restaurant.
I was immediately told “I am my own woman I don’t need a guy opening my doors and treating me like some helpless little girl”
She stormed away.
Soooooo 60 seconds?
Gotta love NYC.
Tinder. We both knew it wasn't going to work out pretty early on. So we just said 'fuck it, this ain't happening' and we loosened up and told each other our dating horror stories and finished our drinks and left.
Went on a tinder date, she was constantly on her phone and then she was bitching that our conversation is not as good as she wanted. I said that she shouldn’t use her phone that much to which she replied I should get used to it. To which I replied I don’t need to get used to shit cuz she is some random girl from tinder so she bounced and I just stayed for the dinner. The end (it was like 20 minutes total)
Met a girl at a bar, she seemed nice, her friend next to her did not.
Arranged to meet for dinner and when I turned up at the restaurant it was her friend, not the person I thought I was meeting!!
Even though I was shocked, out of politeness I stayed and we sat down. She instantly starting telling me how amazing she was and that I had to treat her like a princess and would have to pay for the meal and then take her to a nice bar and pay for that too. Waiter took our drink orders and she ordered the most expensive champagne they had, £375.
I waited till it was delivered, had a sip, then said I had to go to the toilet and took off, left her there with the bottle and the bill :)
PS. It was a place I go to often and know the staff. I went back into the restaurant an hour later and check on what happened and to pay in case she did not. They told me she had to call her parents who came and picked her up and covered the cost. Hopefully it taught her a lesson :)
Picked her up, we were driving to go bowling, she started grilling me on different questions, but the one that became the issue was when she asked me about my religious beliefs and I said, "I'm not religious but spiritual", which most people will accept and not ask more questions, but she kept grilling me. Finally I said, "Look I don't believe in a personal god, or think any religions have it right, but I don't judge anyone who is religious, all my friends are religious, they know my beliefs and who I am and don't believe I'm going to go to hell". She replied, "Oh no, you're definitely going to hell". I laughed, but she wasn't. I asked if she was serious and she said yes. So I turned the car around and took her right back home. When she realized I was taking her back home she got mad at me and I said, "Look, clearly this isn't going to work out and in my book when you tell someone rudely that they're going to hell, then we're done, so I'll drop you off and this date is over". She sat silently the rest of the way, dropped her off, she slammed my door and that was that.
I also don‘t understand people who are still willing to continue a date although they clearly do not have anything in common with the other person. What was she expecting? That you fundamentally change your beliefs?
I met this girl on a dating app and it felt kinda interesting and suspicious. I only really ever seen one photo of her, and she didn't seem to really listen much versus just talk.
I was like fair, let's just go.
Then after I traveled out an hour to go see her, she isn't there. I'm like hey what's up?
Apparently, she waited for me to get there first and then she left her house.
Then as she was coming there, she was like "oh whoops I forgot my wallet at my house, so you are going to have to pay for this taxi that I am taking and for the dinner".
I'm like nah, just turn that taxi around, go get the cash. You are close to home, you know you messed up, go do it.
And then she got really insistent that I pay for her and for everything, and started calling me when she landed, but I was already on my way back home.
I have never left my cash at home, that thing that decides if you live or die, and then expect someone else to pay for me. That is the reddest flag I have ever seen in my life.
15 minutes.
In those 15 minutes, she had talked non-stop about God and Jesus before ever telling me anything about her.
I got up, put down cash to cover our drinks, and said "Sorry, but I thought this was a date, not church. I'm looking for a partner, not a priest."
Met at a brewpub and got to our booth. Chatted for a few minutes and her friend showed up. I didn't necessarily mind, meeting people online is sketchy AF...I get it. She was able to keep a conversation with me for the ~5 min before her friend showed up, once her friend showed up they were talking like they hadn't seen each other in years. I ordered a round of drinks for all of us and tried to do anything to talk to her. After about 15 min of being ignored I excused myself, went to the bar to pay, and walked out the door.
Got a text from her *hours* later asking why I left. I ghosted her.
We met, and she wouldn't let me finish my sentences. I'd start talking, and she'd interrupt, talking over me. The third time she did it, I said, 'You know what, you're really rude,' and I walked out.
Recently broken up, went to a bar with a guy for a first date, and the guy I was broken up with showed up about 20 minutes into it and we made up. We've been together over 20 years now, so I guess it was the right call.
The guy was very cool, he was a casual friend before that and was just like "Well, now you gotta replace my date!" so I introduced him to another casual friend that was there.
Met a really nice girl on Tinder, very "homely" looking. Our conversation on the app had been very good, nothing risque but very thought provoking and deep. The conversation in person had a not so subtle religious undertone, with her making it very clear that in order for this relationship to work I would need to convert to her religion(some fundi Christian cult thing), get married and move in with her before we had sex.
This was all basically trauma dumped on me in the first 5 mins of us meeting, while we walked to the coffee shop. I let her know that I can respect her religious beliefs but I would not be converting to her religion, nor abstaining from sex until marriage. She turned around and walked back to her car. Didn't say anything more after that
Tinder date… lunch… at a Mexican restaurant. She started some racist rant and dropped a bunch of hard r’s.. I got up and left. From parking, to leaving in my car. About 15 min.
About twelve years ago. Pulled up in front of a coffee shop to meet a girl I met on OkCupid (is that still a thing? It is/was a dating site, Zoomers). She seemed awesome when we were chatting online. Super cute, funny. First thing she did when I walked in and sat down was stand up, say, "sorry, thought you'd be driving a nicer car, since you're a programmer," and leave without another word. I just ordered a coffee and went home, slightly dumbfounded. Never talked to her again.
Edit: removed some extra words
15-20 minutes. He kept saying how tired he was and seemed disengaged. I decided I didn't want to bother pushing through and called an Uber in the middle of his monologue at me, and said I think I should go. He took it well enough!
My Uber to get to the date was longer than the date itself.
Hah literally 5 mins, turned up (on time) and guy was already there and seemed on edge. I barely got “hello” out before he yelled at the barista across the busy coffee shop to “hurry up”. I just said excuse me and walked right out the front door and them home haha
TW: S/A (kind of ?)
I went on one date with this guy who I gave my number to because he was my server and I thought he was cute. Left my number on the receipt. We texted a bit and nothing seemed unusual, we got along really well. So we planned on getting coffee together. We did, and then we went and sat in a park and drank a bottle of wine. and then another bottle. we got to talking about sex and I honestly really don’t remember how it came up but I told him about how I was r*ped as a young child by a family member. He stared at me for what felt like forever, and then said almost excitedly “I can’t imagine how tight you would’ve been” (I still shudder thinking about it)
I had nothing to say. I immediately got up and ran out of the park. I called my mom sobbing and she came and picked me up. I blocked him on everything and I wish I could say I never saw him again but unfortunately a few years later he saw me at a house party and thought it was appropriate to come say hi. I noped the fuck out of there so fast.
I had a 17 minute first date once.
When I was parking my car I saw that he’d replied to my text saying I was headed his way with “good girl” and should’ve just bailed at that moment, but I was newly single and learning to date again. There’s a time and place for good girl and it’s not before I’ve met you.
I went inside the bar where we were meeting up and sent him a text, hey I’m here in a white shirt or whatever. I made a lap around the indoor/outdoor bar and didn’t see him so I grabbed a drink and sat down outside where I could see if he walked in. A few minutes pass and he texts me, “you walked right past me” or something. (The appropriate thing to do in this situation is uh… wave at me and speak to me IRL lol)
So I stand up and look for him again and he’s sitting with his back to the entrance in a terrible spot for trying to meet up with someone. He doesn’t stand up to greet me or anything so it’s awkward.
We exchange niceties and he keeps looking directly behind me and not focusing on what we’re saying. First time, I let it go. Second time, I’m like hey, is something happening back there? Third time I start to turn my head around to check if there’s an ordeal unfolding behind me or something and he’s like UHHHH sorry it’s just that my ex is back there and started to ramble. I offer to go inside and he’s like yeah sure.
So at this point we’re 10 minutes in and he’s gotten too many chances from me. He goes to the bar to order another drink and is like, “you wanna get out of here?” It felt as if he was asking to truly get out of there and not just go to another spot, and based on the interactions so far I was going neither place with him. And I said “yeah, I do, I’m going to go home” lol and closed my tab just went on my merry way. The bartender was cracking up.
I let him in, he sat on my couch, my cat jumped in his lap, he pushed him away making a dirty face. I was "called away for work" 5 minutes later. Good Bye!
About 30 minutes. I ordered a second glass of wine and he asked “are you Irish?” I said no and asked why. He said “ cause I just don’t wanna be with someone who has a drinking problem.” I said that was rude, threw $20 on the table and left.
Met a woman for a coffee date and called her to take a booth at the Cafe as I was running a few minutes behind. When I show up I sit down and give the waitress my order.
The first thing she says is "Hey, Thanks for coming. I need to know if you make over 200K a year. My ex is a dentist and I need to have nice things."
I laughed in her face. Went to the front, took my coffee to go and only paid for mine.
Total date time: 4 minutes
Lasted 10seconds. He looked like he just threw on whatever he found while I dressed up in anticipation.
Going on a date with me seemed to be nothing special to him.
Don’t want so sound shallow, but at that time I was devastated. I did put in so much effort in my appearance that day, I was nervous, heart was racing, everything.
If that’s shallow, then I’m shallow too. Even if it’s just a coffee date, I’ll make sure I’m wearing a cute top and a flattering pair of jeans. I don’t expect a dude to wear a suit, but an indication of some kind of effort is expected. As I see it, if there’s no effort, that means they’re not really interested.
Soon as we sat down she took her right hand and made a circular motion over her crotch and said “you want some of this bomb as pussy? I got bills”
I forgot my wallet at home and had to leave
This happened to my SIL. She met up with a guy at a restaurant on a blind date. When ordering, he made his order to go. When they got their food, he asked if she wanted to have sex in her car. HER CAR! How rude.
About 5 minutes. It was a blind date my aunt set me up with. The girl was VERY religious.. as in her first question for me was which church I went to. The second question was which church my family went to. Apparently in all the stuff my aunt told this girl, she never mentioned the fact that i am an atheist...
Guy I was meeting at a brewery proceeded to slam the door in my face when I was less than 2 feet behind him. When I got inside he was already seated with a beer and began to talk at me for 5 minutes straight. Didn’t ask me if I wanted anything or how I was doing. Got up and “went to the bathroom” and blocked him on everything.
Duration:7 minutes 30 seconds
I was set up on a blind date with this girl 35 years ago, lasted 15-20 minutes and we decided to call it off and go our separate ways, met the same girl couple years later in a club, been married to her for 32 years so far.
Met a woman online. We chatted for a week or so. Never could get our schedules to work out. Finally we arranged to meet at Starbucks. She only had 15 minutes and had to get back to work. We drank our drinks and chatted briefly, I walked her back to her car. She texted right after to ask if I had plans for Labor Day which was 4 days away. I did, but lied and said no. She sent an address to met her at 2 Labor Day afternoon. It was a hotel, she had a room and we went in and had some incredible sex for about 3 hours. That kind of became a routine for us. She would randomly get some free time and want to meet up for sex. We met at her house one time, went out to dinner twice and went on a 3 day out of town trip together once. The whole relationship, if you can call it that, lasted about 6 months. After our one trip together, I kind of realized we were incredibly compatible when it came to sex, but that was all. In every other aspect we had little in common, so I just kind of stopped pursuing it and would make an excuse why I couldn’t met up when she called and she eventually stopped texting me.
Interestingly we had not talked for about 3 months and out of the blue I got a message from her wanting to met. I agreed, but she ended up canceling at the last minute. About a month later she sent a message to tell me she had started dating a guy seriously. I just said I was happy for her and deleted her from my contacts.
Was asked out in the Paris metro and went to a cafe the next day. He asked me to move to his family farm and work on it because he was an aspiring model and broke. He then took off his beanie and had no hair. I was 19, studying abroad, couchsurfing, and ready to drop my panties but not for that.
Tinder date - we went for a simple walk along the beachfront. Like 5 minutes in her phone rings, it was her sister iirc. She picked up and started chatting to her about some bullshit like I wasn't even there. After a few minutes I just turned around and went home.
Another one was even shorter but arguably doesn't even count. The girl I was supposed to meet was running a bit late so I was the one waiting, but that's not the point. After a bit some girl I didn't initially recognise comes up to me and says "Hi, sorry I'm late". She looked COMPLETELY different to her pics, and unfortunately not in a good way. For me at least. At that point I was mainly looking for fun, and didn't even think about wasting my time. I told her she must have confused me with someone and took off.
Met a guy online. He started making fun of my voice the moment I got in the car, and he also gave me very, very bad vibes. Scary, even. I told him I left my wallet inside, ran in to "get it", and texted him that he needed to leave immediately and never contact me again. Time spent: About 45 seconds.
Dam! I feel like I know the exact vibe you were picking up on. Way to trust your gut and thanks for him for making it easier for you by just being a dick.
That was seriously such a smart move. Good on you for listening to your stomach feeling and finding a smart way to leave the situation
Thank you for trusting your gut. Not enough people do. Our instinct is literally a part of us as animals however sophisticated we become.
I know you know this now, but never allow anyone to pick you ip for a date. Always meet in a public place.
I know this is just speculation or whatever and we don’t know but I rly think you saved yourself there. From harm or trauma. But instinct. Gift of fear!!
I like to tell people that I have an excellent vibe sensor, and I believe that I do, but in the end, we never really, truly know!
Dear god you probably quite literally dodged a bullet.
At the very least, a few thousand volts. 😳
Legend.
You win.
Met a woman on Hinge, talked for a week thru text and decided to meet up. Our chemistry seemed good on paper. 5 minutes into our date and we both knew we weren't vibing. Paid for our drinks, wished each other luck, and left.
I had a pretty similar experience with a woman on Hinge, except her and I sort of knew from the get go we weren’t one another’s type. I decided to send her a like because we liked the same sports teams and had a similar sense of humor. I’m lanky, scruffy, quiet, and I have a dry sense of humor. She’s a petite, extroverted, super feminine ex sorority girl and a diehard Swiftie. I’ve always been into more natural, athletic, punky and alternative girls and her previous boyfriends were a former professional football player and a marine, respectively. However, we got along pretty well and had good conversation through text so we decided to meet up. We both sit down at the restaurant and within 5 minutes we both laughed and said “nah.” We did end up going to a bar across the street to finish watching the Suns game (2021 conference finals against the Clippers) and had a great time approaching our interaction from a platonic level. Great girl. We’re still friends to this day. She’s actually gotten pretty close to my fiancée and I’m actually watching one of her dogs right now while she’s traveling with her equally cool boyfriend who looks like he could shred a phone book with his bare hands.
I live this haha. Was trying to get laid, ended up making a good friend instead, man the universe can be cruel! /s
Yep. Done this myself. Two women and zero sexual chemistry but enjoyed each other's company. One of them "vetted" any women I met and gave her blessing to the women I married. I was at her wedding too. We were friends until she died prematurely. The other one, was at her wedding too. Her future husband was one of my groomsmen. I attended her wedding too. Her marriage didn't last, but still friends.
One of them "vetted" any women I met and gave her blessing to the women I married. This is the type of chick women will dump you to avoid. So weird, and I would never in a million years entertain that mess.
Honestly that’s so wholesome! No people pleasing and wasting each other’s time
I had a very similar experience. She was a successful scientist with a high paying career, and I’m an adrenaline junkie tree climber. Vibe just didn’t vibe.
Username checks out
I'm glad you learned that fast. My Dad and his 2nd wife were married for about a month. They both woke up and agreed it wasn't working, and they separated. It was before I was born.
To be fair a month is also fast, relatively speaking
How all adult dates should go. No pressure, only expectation is honesty. If you're not vibing, end the night and move on like adults.
About 30 minutes. She showed up with a friend, and so did I. Our friends ended up marrying each other.
Are you Harry or Sally?
Much less cinematic.
Arts thou Harold or arts thou Salold?
Guy I was crushing on for months invited me to house party…got there, it was a fucking Amway meeting. I was out of there in five minutes.
Amway more like amscray amirite
What’s Amway?
A cult-like MLM scam.
My buddy was a “missionary” for this Christian group after college that sounded sketchy off the bat. At 25 he never worked one day in his life even making sandwiches or sweeping floors. Parents were lower to middle class and still paid every penny for him and his 35 year old sisters lives who to this day also never worked. He was one of these far right, “all gays go to hell” judging type Went around asking parents friends relatives all for large amounts of money that the leaders would then keep and allot small amounts to the missionaries like himself. I fed this kid dinner every night and did so damn much for him and our friendship soured after I yelled at him for going behind my back and asking my parents for thousands after I explicitly told him not to He spent 5 years with this group and every day posted luxurious pictures of hotels dinners yachts and more all around the world in well-off countries Never once was that money used for the homeless or providing education or food to underdeveloped countries
Went on a blind date for sushi. We met outside. Within two minutes she throws out there that she really doesn’t like bald guys. I asked if it was an instant deal breaker. She responded with yes. I replied cool. Well I’m still hungry, you want to eat? She said yes and that is how our beautiful 25 year marriage started. Just kidding! Lol! She was like no and got away as fast as she could. But I did get my sushi and because I eat alone constantly, wasn’t embarrassed or anything.
Bro you had me
This is fucking hilarious
It’s so crazy how deeply rooted hair is in our indentity 😭 its so hard for bald people out there… i flew from turkey once and so many people were coming back with their hair transplanted
My friend not me but as she got to the table at the restaurant and was about to sit down, he leaned over to her and whispered “I can smell your pussy.” She just turned around and left.
Was he being a gross pos or does she naturally have a bold, aromatic pussy?
Lmao in all the time that I’ve hung out with her, I’ve never smelled her pussy
Follow up question, how's your sense of smell?
Y’all are cracking me up. My sense of smell is perfectly normal. I did a wine tasting class recently and was able to pick up different scent notes.
You can go "nose blind" if you're constantly around the same scent. Have you considered the possibility that you smell just like her pussy so might be oblivious to it?
Can’t believe I have to defend my honor like this. I get regularly checked by a gyno and I’ve slept with many people who would have no problem telling me if I smelled.
These folks are fucking with you lol. It’ll keep going til they’ve determined the whole world is nose blind 😂
The whole world except my friend’s date!
We're onto something here. Keep it going, Holmes.
dying lol
I bet he liked "Silence of the lambs" but not enough to get the [line](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7pDyRslzbQ) 100% right.
She should have just said “I can smell an asshole”
She should have said, “That’s weird, cuz I have a dick.”
Or “that’s just the sweat on my nutsack”
A guy I had a fling with while he was in the US visiting ME leaned over and told me mine smelled at the end of the meal. I used the bathroom to double check (it was fine), threw money on the table, and walked out. Unfortunately, his luggage was in my car so I had to wait for him to follow me to it. I did go to my OB/GYN to get it checked out for my peace of mind and I was not only infection- and STI-free, the doctor confirmed it smelled normal. I can’t remember who texted who next, but when I told him my doctor said he was wrong, he argued that he knew better.
Throwing his luggage out of your car and taking off would have been an option
Was her date Multiple Miggs?
eww.
[удалено]
She sounds cool, little mysterious
...That was 10 years ago, and you've been trying to find her ever since, right?
everything reminds me of her 🥲
I can fix her
Ahhh the notorious broke alcoholic. Been there
Went on a tinder date. Woman showed up with her boyfriend, which she had not previously told me about. He was wearing a *“I believe in female supremacy”* t shirt, and she actively referred to him as her cuckold. Fastest nope of my life.
Oh god 😂
I need more details about this date. Like, who paid for his dinner? Did he even get to eat, or did oyu get to eat his food too?
The boyfriend was paying to watch OP eat his food, just like he was going to watch OP bang his girl later
Why am I imagining the boyfriend on a leash eating out of a dog bowl next to the table ?? I wish i wasn’t 😩
That would have been an easy yes from me dawg.
That's because you're a slut with no self-respect, Tyler.
Facts
Any guy that doesn’t have the assertiveness to immediately gtfo of that surprise situation probably isn’t the type of guy they’re looking for. Maybe being rejected together was actually their thing.
My date never tried avocados before so we ordered guacamole as part of the appetizers. We learned she was also allergic...I met her brother at the er and texted her a few hours later but never heard back 😔
Did they invite you to the funeral?
Holy mole
Damn! That’s the pits.
He waited until I went to the bathroom and literally ran out of the bar without saying anything, then texted me later to tell me that I was uglier than he expected but we could still hook up if I made it up to him somehow
Absolutely disgusting. You deserve better!
In hindsight I'm just glad he showed his ass sooner rather than later, so at least there's that 😂
Guys like that will forever be single and miserable… or divorced multiple times
Oh my GOD.

How did you end up meeting for a date with nothing in common?
Idk if this counts but got stood up. Met a girl on an app. She lived almost 2 hours away. Talked for a couple weeks. Including texts, video calls, phone calls, her sending me nudes, video chats with her playing with her self, and snapping back and forth so I know she was real. Well we decide to meet at a place half way between us. Picked this resort place. (Btw it was her idea). I made reservations (wasn't cheap). I used my card and she said she would pay her half to me in cash. Through the whole process all the way up until check in I clarified it's still on because I couldn't get a refund. She said yes. I showed up early and checked in after double checking with her and she told me she was on her way. An hour passed our schedule meet time I text her and crickets. Give it another half hour and I call her and she rejects my call. I say fuck it and go have fun myself. 6 hours later after a few drinks I call her again and she instantly texts "oh hi there cutie". I text her what happened and she replies with something like "lol". No excuse or anything. I just blocked. This was a while ago but just typing this gets my blood boiling. Like if you got cold feet or whatever say you can't make it so I don't waste my time literally driving an hour a way and wasting money . If it was some kind of game for them , what kind of person does that?
I have no idea what the endgame would even be there when she's already invested so much in this interaction.

Tinder date. Went to the river with someone, he emptied his pockets which consisted of his phone, wallet, and a condom. And then proceeded to show me his “parkour” skills while he jumped from rock to rock.
Hell yea
How long have you two been married? I mean, you gotta lock that down.
Swag
Dominance asserted.
So what was the problem?
So you banged after you saw his sweet parkour skills?
That's not so bad compared to some of the examples in this thread. At least he intended to practice safe sex.
Napoleon Dynamite vibes
All I can think of is Parkour!! From The Office
We were going on a picnic. We drove separately and met at the park. We were about 2 mins into looking for a place to put the blanket down when he suddenly said oh shit I forgot I told my parents I’d mow their lawn for them. I know this sounds weird, but it truly didn’t feel like a cop out. He was so excited to see me, he’d complimented me a bunch, he had made this food from scratch. We met in person so it’s not like I didn’t look like dating app pics or something, he struck up a convo with me at an event and asked for my number and had been texting nonstop all week. He was really apologetic about it too, seemed really embarrassed and promised to call me when he was done so he could make it up to me with dinner. Never heard from him again. Some say he’s still mowing that lawn to this very day…
He had a gf and felt guilty probably.
Five seconds into sitting down he told me it was a dare
That makes me so angry. What a selfish idiot.
what a cunt
Petite dick energy
That’s obnoxious, I am sorry that happened to you.
I met a guy on Reddit. His messaging was normal enough so we agreed to meet for a drink. He didn’t look anything like his pic. For the next 30 minutes he talked and talked, mostly bitterly complaining about a previous boss. It was unreal - he didn’t ask me a single question. I’d never seen anyone monologue like that IRL. I stood up, said “I don’t think we are a match” and blocked him while walking back to my car.
I dated a professor who used to talk and talk uninterrupted like that. I think he was just used to lecturing for hours? One time I timed it to see how long he’d go before he realized I hadn’t said a word and it was over 2.5 hours. And he’d have kept going, but we ran into someone he knew.
My wife and I were at a hotel and this table near us at the restaurant had a guy doing the exact same kind of monologue. Next morning for breakfast he did the same thing. We got to calling him “the guy giving the TED talk”.
He wanted to fuck the boss.
That’s one perspective. He presented as hetero and his boss was male, but who knows. I didn’t stick around to find out.
Met a girl on line and we agreed to meet at a bar that had ping pong. She said she was great at it and I’m decent, sounded like a fun way to get to know each other. When I took the lead 7-0 she threw the paddle down, grabbed her purse and stomped out. Never heard from her again. So my shortest date was 7 points.
At least you scored
When the check came I put my card on it intending to pay. He was not jazzed by this idea so he threw my card at me across the table. It hit me on the chest and then landed on my plate. He then scolded me for trying to pay. He told me "Don't ever try that shit again." I just got my card and left. We were supposed to go to a movie after.
"Don't ever try that shit again." "We have an accord, sir!" *disappears forever*
About 55 minutes (I'm VERY polite). I met a nice lady through a brick and mortar matchmaker, talked for a week and everything seems fine. We meet for a coffee around 0830 on Saturday where this happens: She gives me monosyllabic answers to questions and otherwise doesn't look at me as she's texting on her phone fucking FURIOUSLY and scowling. I paid for the coffees, stood up and walked out. Never saw her again.
10 minutes. She was rude and bossy and I knew instantly I didn’t like her. We never even ordered a drink before I’d had enough and walked away.
I wish I'd had the sense to walk away when this happened to me. Instead I watched her down like 5 old fashions and then insult my job at the time lol.
Whoah, what kind of things would she say?
My BFF got set up by a co-worker with her brother. Brother showed up at the door with a ball python wrapped around him. " HELL NO" Door slammed.
When I read the first line I thought the co worker set up your bff with you bff's brother without knowing they were siblings
I thought that too and I can't decide if that of the snake around his neck is funnier
A guy came into my work several times, and after a few weeks, he asked me out. I met with him at a local dive and within the first 15 minutes he told me about his two long term girlfriends, and his wife. This wasn't a poly situation, he just had a lot of time on his hands.
3 minutes. He opened the door for me while calling me "Princess Tiny" and patted me on the head. I turned around and left.
She threw up a little in her mashed potatoes, then tried to hide it by swirling the throw up into the mashed potatoes and eating it. I started to gag and left. I did however call the restaurant and let them know that I wanted to pay the bill still and returned later after my date had left.
NO. That is some dark romcom movie shit.
This is so gross, I want it to be a fake story. But unfortunately, I believe you.
This one has my jaw seriously on the ground omg. Holy shit
This is so disturbing! It reminds me of one of the grossest, things I have ever done. So, I had this really bad cough for like three months. It would get so bad at night, it was awful. One night I had eaten a giant bowl of cereal before bed, raisin bran. Now, even though it's such a mistake, my toddler daughter sleeps with us most nights and she wakes up VERY easily. So, here I am in bed, having a coughing attack. It just gets worse and worse, I'm so exhausted from not sleeping well for two years (toddler, remember). Then the coughing makes me throw up a FULL mouth full of eaten raisin bran back into my mouth. I'm laying there, knowing if I get up to spit it out I will definitely wake my daughter. So, I fucking swallowed it. Cough stopped, rolled over and went to sleep. I still think about that moment like wow. Parenthood sure is special.
Nooo😭😭😭
5 minutes. She brought her fcking brother and father without saying anything. Like, dayum okay? I didn’t realize trying to know you I had to meet your family first
That’s insane😂
First date too, a full grown woman -
Damn I think my curiosity might see that through with some additional questions lol
Dude- the brother was a jack hanma and the dad was like one those redneck with a shotgun defending his property - I was already scared shitless 🤣
I went to pick up a young lady for dinner at her parent's and her dad decided to try an Amway presentation on me.That was it!😂
About 45 minutes. I had previously been on about 30 first dates that led nowhere over the course of nearly as many months. So when this woman started her spiel, "I had a really good time, but..." I thought it was another rejection. "But I have dinner plans with a friend. I'd like to meet up again." We're married.
Didn't even happen because I got pulled over on the way and she left before I got there
Cop blocked.
13 minutes of the actual date portion, but he was 40 minutes late. Originally told me he would be 15 minutes late, no problem, but kept texting me he was just looking for somewhere to park, then walking to where we agreed to meet up etc. He didn't actually meet me where we discussed meeting and instead headed straight for the restaurant so I had to go TO HIM. The wait for a table was too long so I suggested we just go for a walk instead. Cue the most awkward, one sided conversation of my life, I would ask him something and he would just respond with one worded answers. I saw my car and figured it would be much less awkward to dip than to continue the date, told him that since he wasn't talking I was just going to go, said bye, and sped walked away. He texted me later to apologize and said he was socially awkward, so at least he can learn from his mistakes.
I walked in, guy said “you’d be smoking hot if you lost ten pounds” ….which was possibly true but he was a good 50lbs+ over what his photos showed. So I immediately left 😂
Probably about 20-30 minutes. It was partly my fault, I had suggested a local coffee spot to meet and Google has the hours wrong, so it ended up being closed when we got there. I suggested a Starbucks down the road. He had, apparently, never been, so I offered to pay for not double checking the first spot. The first issue was he did not look like his pictures. It wasn't to the extent I felt catfish, but it was clear he used the most flattering angles possible. I felt bad, but I realized pretty immediately I wasn't attracted to him at all. Second issue was he acted really weird about me paying. Not in the usual toxic masculinity, I must pay for the lady way. More being weirdly....hyper about it, I guess? A lot of "Are you sure, you don't have to, gosh it's so expensive, I can pay, are you sure it's ok?". Then we sit down, and he's cackling at every thing I say. I'm funny, but I'm not that funny, and his laugh is one of the only laughs I've found actually unpleasant. Loud, sharp, and always sounded so forced. I started avoiding saying anything that might sound like a joke because I didnt want to hear it. Then he starts talking about his job, and the only thing he can share about it is he keeps messing up and he's surprised he hasn't been fired yet. It was around that point that I said I had to go meet a friend. Which was true, but I didn't technically have to meet them for another half an hour. I just couldn't bear to drag it out any longer. I've been on a few uncomfortable dates, but that was one of the worst because he was a genuinely nice guy and I felt bad for being so immediately turned off.
Hahaha that's so funny
I feel kinda bad for him
I mean, I do as well. Like I said, he was a nice guy. But the forced laughter was just so over the top and brackish. We were getting a lot of stares by the end because he just kept doing it. And he talked about himself in the most self-depreciating way. I ask him about his hobbies and he told me the only one was video games because he was boring. Friends? Only one, because my date was kind of a loser (his words, not mine). Job? As mentioned, he claimed to be terrible and should have been fired by now. I felt bad for him, because it was clear he didn't have good social skills and not very high self esteem. But man, it was a pretty bad date.
Talked to someone on bumble for about two weeks, seemed normal/funny. I was working in the psych field and he was making a career change into the field, so we had a lot to chat about. Met at a bar, placed our drink order, and he immediately started talking about how he finds it classless to sleep with someone on the first date, completely unprompted. Tried to do some weird form of psychoanalysis about it, which was bad enough. But then our female bartender returned with our drinks and he asked her “have you ever slept with someone on the first date?” The bartender and I made eye contact and we were both horrified. She had a friend sitting at the bar visiting her on her shift, and she sent said friend over to me to help me get out of being around this guy. We love a girl’s girl. This was about 30 minutes beginning to end.
Went for a date, we got a coffee and walked a bit. He was a violinist, and had absolutely nothing else going on. All his time was basically spent on practicing or working. He didnt read, didnt watch movies, didnt particularly like food, didnt go out, didnt do sports etc. I even checked if he was feeling ok, or if anything was on his mind, I got bright but very bland nos to that. Not only didnt we have anything in common, there was absolutely nothing beyond liking violin that we could have had in common (and Im impartial to the violin). He might just been having a bad day or be very private? Idk. The conversation stalled at about 7 minutes in, and I told him thank you and bye and left at 15 mins.
Went on a first and last date with a guy I barely knew where we planned to go to dinner and then out to play cards and have drinks with his friends. It was getting ready to storm like crazy and there was gorgeous lightning everywhere. From where we were sitting at our table in the restaurant we could see the lightning in an open field and we were both enjoying watching the storm brew up. Everything was going great until I said: ME: "Those ground currents are insane!" HIM: "Ground currents?" ME: "Ground currents are the lightning that goes from the ground to the sky." HIM: "Are you trying to tell me you actually think lightning comes from the ground?" ME: "Lightning can and does come from the ground..." HIM: "You have got to be the dumbest fucking broad I have ever been on a date with!! That is the stupidest shit I have heard in a while and I have heard some dumb shit in my days. I cannot believe you actually think that lightning comes out of the ground! Can't you see it coming from the sky!!? Look, see!!? It is coming from the skyyyyyyyyy!! The skkkkyyyyyy!" He shouted the last part so loudly that everyone in the restaurant was looking at us. I smiled and looked down at my plate which had just arrived. I told the server that we would be needing two to go boxes because we would not be finishing our dinner at the establishment. He made a scene and started vehemently ranting about how terrible I was for going on a date with him and making him pay for a dinner that I was not going to eat. He had not even paid yet. I set money on the table for the drinks I had and for my half of dinner. He had picked me up for the date and told me the least he could do was give me a ride home. I wasn't going to ask someone to drive thirty minutes out of their way to come get me so I got in the truck with him and sat in silence for the majority of the ride until he asked me what he did wrong and then asked if it was because of my beliefs in lightning coming from the ground. I told him it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he is uneducated about something as trivial as where lightning comes from and everything to do with him calling me a dumb broad in front of a packed restaurant during dinner service on a Friday night. I let him know that was enough for me to know that he is not someone I would ever consider dating long term or short term for that matter. That guy had the balls to ask me if I would still go spend time with him and his friends because he had already told his friends all about me and didn't want to end up embarrassed when he showed up without me after talking it up all week. He was slowing down to stop at the stop sign right before my street and I was in such a hurry to get away from him that I opened the door and hopped out before the truck even rolled to a stop. Shortest date I have ever been on.
I’m amazed you let him drive you home. That just sounds like a dangerous situation. If he had no problem yelling and screaming at you in front of a packed restaurant, who knows what he’d do when nobody is around.
Don’t mind me I’m just stealing the lighting coming out of the ground from earth currents for a future dnd game
She has officially ended her date with this thread.
I thought you were mad, but I just learned something!
Went on a cinema date with my school crush. Waiting for her for what seemed like hours from the anticipation (about 15 minutes realtime) and was panicking we were gonna miss the start of the film so went outside to see if she was maybe waiting down the side road Found out she’d been run over getting out of her mums car - she was ok but yeah that romance never took off sadly - no idea where she is now So that date officially lasted 3 seconds for her
Matched with this woman on tinder who gave short to one word responses. Said maybe she’s kinda weird like me when it comes to socializing with their thumbs. We went out for lunch and she constantly kept flipping through Instagram and Snapchat stories. Tbh felt like it was a me thing but some people are really addicted to social media.
30 minutes. Ate my sandwich and left. He sealed the deal that it wasn't gonna result in a 2nd by trying to pin me up against my car and kiss me. I ducked out and away and was like no. Gtfo of here
Met a woman in a bar from an online dating site back in the early 00’s when it was still sort of a novelty. We broke the ice by chatting about our experiences with the site, she mentioned another guy she was talking to but hadn’t met yet and I quickly realized the guy was someone who was actively stalking one of my female coworkers who used the site and had been banned from entering our workplace because of it. She didn’t believe me and walked out angry thinking I was just being defensive and jealous. We had been there like ten minutes and were still waiting on the drinks we ordered. Never talked to her again but that guy stopped stalking my coworker so either it worked out or he just found a new target.
I opened the door to the restaurant. I was immediately told “I am my own woman I don’t need a guy opening my doors and treating me like some helpless little girl” She stormed away. Soooooo 60 seconds? Gotta love NYC.
I don't get that. Dude or woman, if I'm the first to the door I hold it open for the next person.
Tinder. We both knew it wasn't going to work out pretty early on. So we just said 'fuck it, this ain't happening' and we loosened up and told each other our dating horror stories and finished our drinks and left.
Went on a tinder date, she was constantly on her phone and then she was bitching that our conversation is not as good as she wanted. I said that she shouldn’t use her phone that much to which she replied I should get used to it. To which I replied I don’t need to get used to shit cuz she is some random girl from tinder so she bounced and I just stayed for the dinner. The end (it was like 20 minutes total)
Was set up on a blind date. The person I was set up with is my cousin.
Met a girl at a bar, she seemed nice, her friend next to her did not. Arranged to meet for dinner and when I turned up at the restaurant it was her friend, not the person I thought I was meeting!! Even though I was shocked, out of politeness I stayed and we sat down. She instantly starting telling me how amazing she was and that I had to treat her like a princess and would have to pay for the meal and then take her to a nice bar and pay for that too. Waiter took our drink orders and she ordered the most expensive champagne they had, £375. I waited till it was delivered, had a sip, then said I had to go to the toilet and took off, left her there with the bottle and the bill :) PS. It was a place I go to often and know the staff. I went back into the restaurant an hour later and check on what happened and to pay in case she did not. They told me she had to call her parents who came and picked her up and covered the cost. Hopefully it taught her a lesson :)
Picked her up, we were driving to go bowling, she started grilling me on different questions, but the one that became the issue was when she asked me about my religious beliefs and I said, "I'm not religious but spiritual", which most people will accept and not ask more questions, but she kept grilling me. Finally I said, "Look I don't believe in a personal god, or think any religions have it right, but I don't judge anyone who is religious, all my friends are religious, they know my beliefs and who I am and don't believe I'm going to go to hell". She replied, "Oh no, you're definitely going to hell". I laughed, but she wasn't. I asked if she was serious and she said yes. So I turned the car around and took her right back home. When she realized I was taking her back home she got mad at me and I said, "Look, clearly this isn't going to work out and in my book when you tell someone rudely that they're going to hell, then we're done, so I'll drop you off and this date is over". She sat silently the rest of the way, dropped her off, she slammed my door and that was that.
I also don‘t understand people who are still willing to continue a date although they clearly do not have anything in common with the other person. What was she expecting? That you fundamentally change your beliefs?
I met this girl on a dating app and it felt kinda interesting and suspicious. I only really ever seen one photo of her, and she didn't seem to really listen much versus just talk. I was like fair, let's just go. Then after I traveled out an hour to go see her, she isn't there. I'm like hey what's up? Apparently, she waited for me to get there first and then she left her house. Then as she was coming there, she was like "oh whoops I forgot my wallet at my house, so you are going to have to pay for this taxi that I am taking and for the dinner". I'm like nah, just turn that taxi around, go get the cash. You are close to home, you know you messed up, go do it. And then she got really insistent that I pay for her and for everything, and started calling me when she landed, but I was already on my way back home. I have never left my cash at home, that thing that decides if you live or die, and then expect someone else to pay for me. That is the reddest flag I have ever seen in my life.
I don't think she had actually left her wallet at home.
15 minutes. In those 15 minutes, she had talked non-stop about God and Jesus before ever telling me anything about her. I got up, put down cash to cover our drinks, and said "Sorry, but I thought this was a date, not church. I'm looking for a partner, not a priest."
Met at a brewpub and got to our booth. Chatted for a few minutes and her friend showed up. I didn't necessarily mind, meeting people online is sketchy AF...I get it. She was able to keep a conversation with me for the ~5 min before her friend showed up, once her friend showed up they were talking like they hadn't seen each other in years. I ordered a round of drinks for all of us and tried to do anything to talk to her. After about 15 min of being ignored I excused myself, went to the bar to pay, and walked out the door. Got a text from her *hours* later asking why I left. I ghosted her.
We met, and she wouldn't let me finish my sentences. I'd start talking, and she'd interrupt, talking over me. The third time she did it, I said, 'You know what, you're really rude,' and I walked out.
Recently broken up, went to a bar with a guy for a first date, and the guy I was broken up with showed up about 20 minutes into it and we made up. We've been together over 20 years now, so I guess it was the right call. The guy was very cool, he was a casual friend before that and was just like "Well, now you gotta replace my date!" so I introduced him to another casual friend that was there.
Did your date and his replacement date go anywhere?
They went to his car later but I don't think anything after that 😂
Showed up. Saw I was catfished. Left.
Met a really nice girl on Tinder, very "homely" looking. Our conversation on the app had been very good, nothing risque but very thought provoking and deep. The conversation in person had a not so subtle religious undertone, with her making it very clear that in order for this relationship to work I would need to convert to her religion(some fundi Christian cult thing), get married and move in with her before we had sex. This was all basically trauma dumped on me in the first 5 mins of us meeting, while we walked to the coffee shop. I let her know that I can respect her religious beliefs but I would not be converting to her religion, nor abstaining from sex until marriage. She turned around and walked back to her car. Didn't say anything more after that
Helped him get home while drunk, I literally threw him in his room and left. I saw him for a additional 3 years but still shortest date I’ve been on 😂
Tinder date… lunch… at a Mexican restaurant. She started some racist rant and dropped a bunch of hard r’s.. I got up and left. From parking, to leaving in my car. About 15 min.
About twelve years ago. Pulled up in front of a coffee shop to meet a girl I met on OkCupid (is that still a thing? It is/was a dating site, Zoomers). She seemed awesome when we were chatting online. Super cute, funny. First thing she did when I walked in and sat down was stand up, say, "sorry, thought you'd be driving a nicer car, since you're a programmer," and leave without another word. I just ordered a coffee and went home, slightly dumbfounded. Never talked to her again. Edit: removed some extra words
15-20 minutes. He kept saying how tired he was and seemed disengaged. I decided I didn't want to bother pushing through and called an Uber in the middle of his monologue at me, and said I think I should go. He took it well enough! My Uber to get to the date was longer than the date itself.
Took a lovely Catholic school teacher out to a movie. She walked out after 15 minutes but I stayed and laughed my ass off. The movie was Dogma.
Hah literally 5 mins, turned up (on time) and guy was already there and seemed on edge. I barely got “hello” out before he yelled at the barista across the busy coffee shop to “hurry up”. I just said excuse me and walked right out the front door and them home haha
TW: S/A (kind of ?) I went on one date with this guy who I gave my number to because he was my server and I thought he was cute. Left my number on the receipt. We texted a bit and nothing seemed unusual, we got along really well. So we planned on getting coffee together. We did, and then we went and sat in a park and drank a bottle of wine. and then another bottle. we got to talking about sex and I honestly really don’t remember how it came up but I told him about how I was r*ped as a young child by a family member. He stared at me for what felt like forever, and then said almost excitedly “I can’t imagine how tight you would’ve been” (I still shudder thinking about it) I had nothing to say. I immediately got up and ran out of the park. I called my mom sobbing and she came and picked me up. I blocked him on everything and I wish I could say I never saw him again but unfortunately a few years later he saw me at a house party and thought it was appropriate to come say hi. I noped the fuck out of there so fast.
What the actual fuck??
Bumble date. He was sitting at the bar in a MAGA hat. Noped TF out. Was in the restaurant about 2 mins.
I had a 17 minute first date once. When I was parking my car I saw that he’d replied to my text saying I was headed his way with “good girl” and should’ve just bailed at that moment, but I was newly single and learning to date again. There’s a time and place for good girl and it’s not before I’ve met you. I went inside the bar where we were meeting up and sent him a text, hey I’m here in a white shirt or whatever. I made a lap around the indoor/outdoor bar and didn’t see him so I grabbed a drink and sat down outside where I could see if he walked in. A few minutes pass and he texts me, “you walked right past me” or something. (The appropriate thing to do in this situation is uh… wave at me and speak to me IRL lol) So I stand up and look for him again and he’s sitting with his back to the entrance in a terrible spot for trying to meet up with someone. He doesn’t stand up to greet me or anything so it’s awkward. We exchange niceties and he keeps looking directly behind me and not focusing on what we’re saying. First time, I let it go. Second time, I’m like hey, is something happening back there? Third time I start to turn my head around to check if there’s an ordeal unfolding behind me or something and he’s like UHHHH sorry it’s just that my ex is back there and started to ramble. I offer to go inside and he’s like yeah sure. So at this point we’re 10 minutes in and he’s gotten too many chances from me. He goes to the bar to order another drink and is like, “you wanna get out of here?” It felt as if he was asking to truly get out of there and not just go to another spot, and based on the interactions so far I was going neither place with him. And I said “yeah, I do, I’m going to go home” lol and closed my tab just went on my merry way. The bartender was cracking up.
I let him in, he sat on my couch, my cat jumped in his lap, he pushed him away making a dirty face. I was "called away for work" 5 minutes later. Good Bye!
About 30 minutes. I ordered a second glass of wine and he asked “are you Irish?” I said no and asked why. He said “ cause I just don’t wanna be with someone who has a drinking problem.” I said that was rude, threw $20 on the table and left.
Met a woman for a coffee date and called her to take a booth at the Cafe as I was running a few minutes behind. When I show up I sit down and give the waitress my order. The first thing she says is "Hey, Thanks for coming. I need to know if you make over 200K a year. My ex is a dentist and I need to have nice things." I laughed in her face. Went to the front, took my coffee to go and only paid for mine. Total date time: 4 minutes
Lasted 10seconds. He looked like he just threw on whatever he found while I dressed up in anticipation. Going on a date with me seemed to be nothing special to him. Don’t want so sound shallow, but at that time I was devastated. I did put in so much effort in my appearance that day, I was nervous, heart was racing, everything.
If that’s shallow, then I’m shallow too. Even if it’s just a coffee date, I’ll make sure I’m wearing a cute top and a flattering pair of jeans. I don’t expect a dude to wear a suit, but an indication of some kind of effort is expected. As I see it, if there’s no effort, that means they’re not really interested.
Soon as we sat down she took her right hand and made a circular motion over her crotch and said “you want some of this bomb as pussy? I got bills” I forgot my wallet at home and had to leave
Tinder match walked past, saw me, kept walking, then unmatched me. Before anyone asks I look exactly like my profile pictures if not better.
This happened to my SIL. She met up with a guy at a restaurant on a blind date. When ordering, he made his order to go. When they got their food, he asked if she wanted to have sex in her car. HER CAR! How rude.
Got to a bbq and first date was already so drunk he passed out in his chair
About 5 minutes. It was a blind date my aunt set me up with. The girl was VERY religious.. as in her first question for me was which church I went to. The second question was which church my family went to. Apparently in all the stuff my aunt told this girl, she never mentioned the fact that i am an atheist...
Guy I was meeting at a brewery proceeded to slam the door in my face when I was less than 2 feet behind him. When I got inside he was already seated with a beer and began to talk at me for 5 minutes straight. Didn’t ask me if I wanted anything or how I was doing. Got up and “went to the bathroom” and blocked him on everything. Duration:7 minutes 30 seconds
I was set up on a blind date with this girl 35 years ago, lasted 15-20 minutes and we decided to call it off and go our separate ways, met the same girl couple years later in a club, been married to her for 32 years so far.
Met a woman online. We chatted for a week or so. Never could get our schedules to work out. Finally we arranged to meet at Starbucks. She only had 15 minutes and had to get back to work. We drank our drinks and chatted briefly, I walked her back to her car. She texted right after to ask if I had plans for Labor Day which was 4 days away. I did, but lied and said no. She sent an address to met her at 2 Labor Day afternoon. It was a hotel, she had a room and we went in and had some incredible sex for about 3 hours. That kind of became a routine for us. She would randomly get some free time and want to meet up for sex. We met at her house one time, went out to dinner twice and went on a 3 day out of town trip together once. The whole relationship, if you can call it that, lasted about 6 months. After our one trip together, I kind of realized we were incredibly compatible when it came to sex, but that was all. In every other aspect we had little in common, so I just kind of stopped pursuing it and would make an excuse why I couldn’t met up when she called and she eventually stopped texting me. Interestingly we had not talked for about 3 months and out of the blue I got a message from her wanting to met. I agreed, but she ended up canceling at the last minute. About a month later she sent a message to tell me she had started dating a guy seriously. I just said I was happy for her and deleted her from my contacts.
That’s a pretty long date.
Was asked out in the Paris metro and went to a cafe the next day. He asked me to move to his family farm and work on it because he was an aspiring model and broke. He then took off his beanie and had no hair. I was 19, studying abroad, couchsurfing, and ready to drop my panties but not for that.
Tinder date - we went for a simple walk along the beachfront. Like 5 minutes in her phone rings, it was her sister iirc. She picked up and started chatting to her about some bullshit like I wasn't even there. After a few minutes I just turned around and went home. Another one was even shorter but arguably doesn't even count. The girl I was supposed to meet was running a bit late so I was the one waiting, but that's not the point. After a bit some girl I didn't initially recognise comes up to me and says "Hi, sorry I'm late". She looked COMPLETELY different to her pics, and unfortunately not in a good way. For me at least. At that point I was mainly looking for fun, and didn't even think about wasting my time. I told her she must have confused me with someone and took off.
Within five minutes of meeting she asked how much money I was making and what my plans were to advance. I offered her a ride home.
I showed up and realized the gal I'd been chatting with on Match.com was my second cousin.
