Funniest/Oddest Date You Ever Had?

Years ago, not too long after the online dating thing got going, I was single, and thought what the heck, let's give this a go. Surprisingly, after posting a picture and profile, I had several what I call nobbles, and enjoyed email back and forth with a number of charming ladies. Several I finally asked out on a "get to know you date" and to be honest, I didn't know quite what to expect. So I went into it with a "I'm going to have fun and enjoy a date and dinner no matter how it turns out". Off I went, and after a half dozen or so fund dates, I ran into one that to this day ahs me chuckling to myself, while at the same time wondering if this gal ever found anyone.

As soon as we were seated at a table in a rather nice Italian place, I began chatting, you know, the get to know one another chit-chat, and suddenly, she pulled out a 5x8 tablet which had lots of writing on it. She then began to ask me questions, one after another, sometimes checking a line on the tablet, sometimes drawing a line through it. After a few questions, with me smiling and with a bit of a chuckle, I asked her what this was all about. "Simple" she replied, "I have 50 qualifiers here, and depending upon your answer, we will or won't have a second date." Yah, I was nice for the remainder of my grilling and the dinner, but when we left I told her, "I don't know what you came up with; but I won't be calling you; but thanks for an interesting date!"

Oh let's see. I went on a blind double date with a friend of mine and her boyfriend. They told me ahead of time that the guy I would be meeting was a "really nice guy." Nothing could have been further from the truth. When introductions were made, he didn't even bother to stand up and shake my hand or even acknowledge me. We went out to dinner and on the ride to the restaurant, complained about the music that we were playing in the car. He was rude to the waitress. We went for coffee after dinner and he didn't bother to hold the door open for me or even pay for my coffee (my friend's boyfriend bought mine). Needless to say, I pulled my friend aside and told her that I wanted to go home immediately. So after all of this, the guy actually had the nerve to call me and ask me out for Valentine's Day. I didn't return his call, so he called again and yelled at me for "blowing him off." It was bizarre.

@SW-User A bit self... no, a lot self-centered, and that type never have a clue.

@frequentlyme Yeah. I was told later that he had just been through a bad breakup and was hating women at the time. Why they thought it would be a grand idea for us to go out is completely beyond me.

Wow interesting story! Mine was many years ago. I met a nice guy from China. My best friend set me up with him. He was nice, polite and spoke well. He invited me out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant, written in Chinese. He ordered for us. After dinner we went for a walk on the beach it was nice. He asked me if I would like a beer. I said sure I thought we would go to a bar but he bought a 6 pack. He gave me one and then he drank the rest. I asked him to take me home but he insisted on a drive. I said okay he parked at a beach and we watched the water. He then tried to kiss me but I said no, I'm not ready. He then took us for another drive and I really wanted to go home by now. He kept taking different roads back to my place and I was panicking. We finally got to my street and I said let me out here and ran through the neighbors yard to get to my house. This was like 6 o'clock in the morning! That morning mom and dad told me some Asian guy was looking in our windows. I knew it was him, but never heard or saw him again. 😦

I had a date that was almost identical. It was like a job interview. I tried to peek at his shirt cuffs and/or the palms of his hands to see if all his questions were written there. At the end of the meal, we went outside (so I could warm up...the air conditioning had been set to deep freeze)....and he told me, after the one lunch together, that he had never felt this way about anyone since he had met his (now deceased) wife in high school. That's when I knew for sure that he was a nut, and when I got home I emailed him and told him I did not feel the same way, but that we must always remember the lovely time we had together...LOLOL!!!

I met up with a woman in Manchester. I met her at the train station but when I got there she was on the phone. I recognised her from her picture. I smiled to confirm it was me but she didn’t end the phone call. We started walking but she was still on the phone, so I felt like I was stalking her. It was so awkward. We went to the cinema and had a drink, she came off the phone eventually. She was boring and loved herself. It was rubbish.

@Thingschange4444 I was heartbroken at the time. I just needed to talk to other people. I always manage to attract strange ppl when I’m sad.
Thingschange4444 · 51-55, M

Poor social skills but arguably efficient
frequentlyme · 70-79, M
@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Oh yes, honesty in the whole dating arena, well in life in general, si the best policy. Sometimes it's a bit harsh, but needed. This was here second attempt at the list thing - an idea she got from reading some book. I sure hope she trashed that idea. You're point though, is well taken. She was a list person, I'm a gut instinct/feelings person and the two simply wouldn't work out.
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F
@frequentlyme for the most part it will not. And yes dating is trial and error when finding that person who can grow from friend to more it is an act of balancing who you are at the right times
frequentlyme · 70-79, M
@Mrsbetweenfatandfit What I came up with is that there was no one, or even two perfect matches, I found any number I found, in one fashion or another, fun to be with, interesting and attractive in many ways. So you may be right about the balancing thing.
