Have you ever been on a date so hilariously bad, that the only solution was to bury your head deep in the sand and pretend that the date never existed? Or perhaps your date was going swimmingly well until the ‘dicksand’ erupted and your date showed his/her true colours? Or maybe you didn’t even get to a first date, after being ghosted and finding out months later that the geezer was married all along? Whether your first date was grim, cringe or downright creepy, Faded Spring wants to hear from you. But first grab yourself some strong gin and settle down for a drinking game I like to call ‘my worst first date’. Every time I mention ‘worst first date’ give yourself a well-deserved drink, because trust me, you are going to need it!
I was relatively new to the ‘online dating’ scene, after being in back to back relationships from a young age and found the world as a ‘singleton’ a scary ass place. Especially when the majority of my friends were coupled up and would ask me every Goddamn 30 seconds when I was going to ‘find a boyfriend’. Truth was I didn’t need a boyfriend to make me happy and for the first time in five years I felt relieved that I was no longer in a relationship. I had controlling boyfriends, ones that used me to make themselves look better and the cheating exes. I was tired of being used and abused and was relishing the ‘single life’. But still, the insecure part of me craved some male companionship and so bowing down to peer pressure, I created an online dating profile, alongside my other single friends.
While my friends went on date after date, I was picky and it took me a few months to even arrange a first date with someone. I had just binge watched classic Catfish episodes and lord knows I didn’t want to be dating someone who was not who they said they were. Besides, dating from a young age meant that I had never been on a ‘real first date’ so I was a little wary of the ‘online dating’ scene to say the least. Eventually I found this attractive guy from Essex who I seemed to connect with and asked him out on a date.
We arranged to meet in the ‘classy’ Spoons (his choice not mine) and while my stomach was grumbling out for food, he said he’d rather not eat and that we ‘should have drinks instead’. I pointed out that I was hungry and was going to get myself some food but he ‘firmly told me’ that he does not like to watch girls eat in front of him, because it ‘puts him off’. Truth be told I should have just ‘upped and left’ there and then but rather than let his careless words offend me, I settled down for the most intense first date I have ever been on. A few moments later, his comments about women and food were quickly forgotten as his tales about his friends and family had me in stitches and I began to feel more at ease. But don’t sit too comfortably yet, not only did he criticize my choice of drink ‘ciders for pussies’ but he also told me that his nickname was ‘monster’ because he had a huge ‘dick’ and that I should be grateful for an opportunity to date him seeing as he was ‘so in demand’. Ladies let me tell you something, if a guy is boasting about the size of his dick then he either has a small wiener or thinks that his best chat up line is to think with his dick the entire time.
Safe to say, I was growing less impressed by the minute. This guy was an absolute tool and my patience was wearing thin, especially since I was ready to launch myself into the kitchen and grab all the food they had I was that hungry. But MR Tool was so self-assured that I was so won over by his ‘womanizing’ ways, that he proceeded to tell me just how well he thought the date was going. Not only did he tell me how much his friends would love me because I had a ‘smoking hot ass’ (I don’t know if he noticed but I also had a face and ya’ know an actual personality) but he also told me he had a ‘five year plan’. I probably shouldn’t have asked but I was convinced that the first date couldn’t get any worse. I was wrong, oh so very wrong.
This so called five year plan consisted of ‘marriage, babies and meeting the ‘rents’. His exact words were ‘I think we could make beautiful babies together, then get married and I can fly you out to my parents in New York’. I’m not in love with you yet but I know that we will have a bright future together. I mean WTF is he on… crack? A. I like to get to know people before I start thinking of having babies together, B. I don’t want to get married any time soon and C. flying me out to New York to meet your parents when I have only just met you is a little cray-cray. Besides, I like to think that the guy I would do all of these things with would be my soulmate and you my dear MR TOOL, are not getting into my pants anytime soon. So take your misogynistic ways out of my life and go rethink your attitude before you take anyone on a first date again.
I thought my worst first date was well and truly over but it turns out I was just kidding myself. I made my excuses to leave and he told me ‘what’s the rush’ lets get started on that five year plan and begin with step one- sex’. I mean call me crazy but I am pretty sure I told you more than once that I wasn’t interested and you think that the best way to woo me is confirm every suspicion I had about you and use me for sex? I mean I like sex, who doesn’t but preferably I’d like to have sex with someone who I actually like and you my friend is someone who I dislike very much.
Not to be put off, he was determined to ‘drive me home’ in his fancy car as he called it and when I told him I would walk, he was flabbergasted. How could I ever resist the chance to ride in his ‘pussy mobile’ in which he gleefully told me he’d done a lot of ‘dogging’, I would be crazy to not take him up on that offer?! Eventually he took the hint and left me alone but 5 minutes later I was bombarded with text after text about how he couldn’t stop thinking about me and ‘knew’ I felt the same way as he did about me. I don’t, now f**k off. He called me his ‘posh bird’ and he said he already told his friends we were an item. I almost felt sorry for him at this point, he was obviously so deluded that he had kidded himself into thinking that we had this ‘fantasy dream date’ that evidently I don’t remember being part of as it was a shitstorm from the get go. I sent him a final message wishing him luck in the future and promptly blocked him. Bye Felicia!
While I have had plenty of dating disasters, this was the first ‘real date’ I had been on outside of a relationship and one of the worst first dates I have been on to this day. From the awful misogyny to boasting about how great he was every 5 f**king minutes, this guy was an absolute tool and the train that was heading towards ‘great first date central’ had crashed and burned within 5 seconds of meeting him. Ladies and gentleman, while my worst first date seemed like a scene from Eastenders, this time I want to put the spotlight on you. Think you have a ‘worst first date’ to rival mine, or have a first date that is so cringe-worthy that everyone needs to know? Then email me at analuisadejesus1993@hotmail.co.uk for a chance for your story to be featured here on Faded Spring. Go on, bless me with your dating disasters…

Aj Wathern says
Oh my Gosh! I genuinely didn’t realise how deluded some guys were until I had to start dating again. There was the guy who lived in the adjoining house who text me, after phoning 5 times, that he could “hear the phone ringing so I better answer or he was coming through”!! Or the sod that wouldn’t tell me what our surprise date was so I ended up ruining my suede Isabel Marant wedge trainers on his “romantic country walk” 😭😭.
Nikki says
Oh my god Ana this post really made me laugh out loud. Sounds like you had a lucky escape!
Marina Rosie says
Ana, you really have a way with words that’s always able to make me chuckle! xx I, too, binge watch catfish – Max and Nev are EVERYTHING! xx
Leigh Travers says
Oh my gosh, it sounds like you had a lucky escape with that one! What a tool! It’s so awkward trying to escape from a bad date too!
Amanda says
Wow! How the hell did you make it through a round of drinks with this guy? He doesn’t even sound real! And to think he thought he actually had a chance with you after that? Lol thanks for sharing this has actually made my day. Good luck with future dating you are too good for guys like these!
Ayesha Farhad says
Haha I couldn’t stop laughing! a friend recently married an absolute nightmare who was chatting up girls literally a week after they had been married! There are some absolute knob heads out there!
Sona Jain says
I feel in love with the guy I am married to and he is the only guy I have dated in my life. However, I seen things going really bad in relationships with some of my friends and especially their dates. it can be quite a terrifying experience.
Marina Jurcic says
This was so funny to read, but probably not so funny to experience. Wish you all the best in the future dating world 🙂
Prateek Goel says
I had never been on online dating…Yes there are people who unfortunately dated someone who were not what they appears on dating sites etc. They are not real. Thank god you were lucky to escape that guy. Best of luck for the future dating.
Tania Potter - Soul Sense Coaching says
Ha ha ha, while I’m sure it wasn’t funny at the time, this was hilarious to read! Talk about a date from hell. Oh my word, what a nightmare.
Elanor says
I met my husband online dating, and we both regularly joke about all the shit we had to wade through before finding each other! I try not to remember all the bad dates and instead choose to recreate the first date with my husband on our anniversary! 🙂
Jon says
I can’t believe you made it through the date. You did well not to fake a phone call and vanish lol
Samantha Mayers says
Oh my days. What a story! I must admit I was having a bit of a chuckle reading this lol. X
Natalie Redman says
Jesus. I don’t know how you stayed so calm. If he told me I couldn’t eat in front of him, I’d order the biggest thing off the menu and eat like a pig. What a scumbag!
Yaya says
WTF!!!! I mean, this guy, seriously, wtf! <– pretty much what I was saying out loud all throughout the post! That does sound like the worst first date pretty much ever. That sets the bar quite low, so I am sure you'll have many much better first dates to come.
Kate says
I met my husband through an online dating site. Here is my tip, choose a site that you have to pay for, and that has some element of interests, background and personality matching. That way, by having to go to a bit of effort, it usually helps weed out the people who are just on there for sex, and you find someone who wants to meet new and interesting people, with a view to a relationship…
7 years later: Marriage, 2 babies and a move to Paris; I can attest to the fact that you can find love online.

Robin rue says
Omg what a JERK! I would have left after he denied me food, but I’m glad you stayed otherwise you wouldn’t have this awesome story!
Dean of Little Steps says
Oh dear, what a creep. I never liked dating, thank goodness I’m so over that now. I hate men who are so full of themselves. Best to stay away from them. xx
Tiffany says
When I read he didn’t want you to eat in front of him because it puts him off, my mouth actually fell open in shock – what an absolute d*ck head! It still shocks me how many deluded, arrogant and idiotic males there are out there – it’s such a shame you have to encounter a few of them before you find a proper human being to share your life with!
Talya says
Oh my goodness I can’t believe people like this actually exist what a douchebag!!!!!
Lauretta at Home and Horizon says
Oh my! I cant believe he had the guts to do that. You obviously don’t deserve him.
Susu says
This made me really laugh….I haven’t dated that much so my first dates haven’t been too bad…and hoping I don’t have one cause I wouldn’t know what to do
Lauretta at Home and Horizon says
Oh my! I cant believe he had the guts to do that. You obviously don’t deserve him. You deserve someone way better than the kind of man he is.
Amalia says
OMG, your story made me laugh!! Think we all got something similar at one point in our lifes!! Don’t loose hope, the right guy will appear.
Shannon Bryson says
Yikes! What a first class douche! I’m lucky that I didn’t date much before I met my current boyfriend and we’ve been together for almost four years. I feel lucky that I escaped the bad dating scene. I did have one awkward date where I watched Forrest Gump with a guy in his room on bed and we barely talked or touched each other.
Jessica Joachim says
I have had some terrible dates! One guy I started seeing, everything seemed fine and normal…then I found out he was engaged! I felt so terrible and promptly ended it.
Chelf says
My worst date was with the love of my life ( still together by the way ) we rented a music studio so that he would teach me how to play the drums. We ended up fighting over something meaningless and got stuck in the studio for 2 hours
Laima says
Oh, wow! That guy is craaazy.. I’ve never been on a date with someone I didn’t already know and I feel so lucky after reading your story, haha.
Shannon Patterson says
I’ve had some pretty bad dates, but nothing like this one! I don’t understand how men think that acting like this is appealing? So strange! While I’m sure it wasn’t funny at the time, the recollection of your first date sure gave me a good laugh! Thanks for sharing!
Karen Morse says
Oh my, I am at a loss for words. This guys has left me speechless. I cannot believe how much he loves himself. Lol. Self love is good but anything excessive is bad for you. Good thing you ditched this guy but kudos for stsying that long. I would have walked away as soon as he said “monster”.
AnnMarie John says
A little humility wouldn’t hurt. This guy is too much and I would have loved to show him how much of an A** he is. I have had my fair share of beyond terrible dates!
Terri Steffes says
Oh my word! I am so glad I am out of the dating game. That’s just nuts. I feared for your safety a bit, did you? If he was such a gift, then I was thinking he’d make you see how wonderful he truly was. Glad it’s over!
Anne says
I’ve never heard anything so awful, it sounds like someone was betting him to say the things he said. You really had a lucky escape.
#MMBC
Silvia says
Wow girl, some people… But hey, no way to weed the tools from the good ones other than trial and error. I have to say though, it sounds pretty horrific and I think I would’ve ran away so fast you would’ve seen a me-shaped hole in the wall :))
Heidi says
I’m surprised you lasted so long! You know the phrase, “You had me at hello?” He lost me at hello!
Jordan Nelson says
Ugh. I think were all destined to have some awful dates but lately all first dates I have gone completely rogue. I had one guy tell me he saw a picture of my mom and that’s the only reason he agreed to date me… LIKE WHAT?!
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh says
This reminds me so much of a young adult fiction novel where the girl ends up with the guy, and they live happily ever after. So crazy that guys like this exist in the real world.
Jenn JG says
OMG what a mess of a date this sounds like. You should have got some to-go food and got the heck out of there. This dude def sounds like a monster but not for “that” reason!
Sam says
Wow! Your first date experience was not so good. Good luck next time.
corinne & kirsty says
I think I can say I am lucky enough to never had bad surprises on dates. I never had bad dates. and I am out of the dating world now ahah
jen @ thehollyhockdoor says
Wow! I’m glad you were able to leave and can laugh about it! First dates are such fun stories – I hope you have some real gems sent to you!
Divyanka says
Thankfully I’ve never come across such guys, but this made me believe that they actually exist! Watching a girl eat puts him off?? Like seriously? And he was expecting to be with you and have babies with you! And monster?? Instead of making you comfortable with him, he was telling you all these! Thank God you are not with him.
Jessica Taylor says
OMG. Sounds like a few dates i’ve been on! Reason 546534654 I am still single lol.
Chelsea Elizabeth says
Pussy mobile! Haha, that made me laugh! Luckily I’ve never been on a “bad date” and after reading this post I’m quite glad! Sounds like you had a lucky escape!
Jayne @ Sticky Mud and Belly Laughs says
I really enjoy your writing style. you really made me laugh!
(hubby helping out)
Laura says
This really does sound like a bad one. I’m not sure I could beat that! My worst first date as definitely a guy who could recall a past life… which involved being killed by a Wooly Mamoth. It was pretty random!
five little doves says
OMG Ana!! If this wasn’t real it would be hilarious but what a massive d*ck…literally!! That really does sound like the worst first date ever!! You live and learn…!
Krysten says
Holy crap, that not only sounds like the worst date ever but the most awkward date ever. I really would have left in the middle of it. Especially after he talked about babies and marriage.
Andrea says
this outfit is so gorgeous! on another note this sounds like such a horrible date. hahaha you totally made me laugh.. thanks so much for sharing this Ana!
Cath - BattleMum says
OMG what a tool. Perfect word for him by the way! I’m thankful I’ve only ever had one real first date and 17 years later we’re happily married x
Kimberly Croisant says
I have been on plenty bad dates in my life…and so glad I’m married now. I wouldn’t want to date in this day and time.
Hey Sharonoox says
I’ve never been to an online dating but it sounds like that guy is not cool at all. Sorry to hear that your first dating experience was a disaster. Good luck and hope you’ll find your MR Right!
Amber Myers says
Oh man, I’m sorry you went through that. He would hate me, I feel like I eat throughout the day. And pussy mobile? Yikes.
Heather Johnson says
I luckily only had good experiences with good dates. I can say that I am happy to be married now and far away from the dating scene.
Cassie says
This guy sounds like a real piece of work – gets “put off” by women eating in front of him LOL! Good luck to that guy getting his plan about getting married done if he never wants to watch a woman eat!!
Chel says
You lasted a hell of a lot longer than I would have on that date! I mean maybe had he bought you dinner, you could have suffered through it until you finished your meal and then bolted, but yikes! I have SO MANY horrible dating stories I could share! Lots of frogs out there for sure.
Erica M says
This guy sounds AWFUL. Jeez. My worst first date took me to fast food and then showed me his HIV test results because “he’d slept with a lot of girls in high school and just wanted me to know he was clean.” Ewww. Later, while he was eating a hamburger I told him I was a vegetarian. He asked me if I would kiss someone who ate meat. I said, “well not if there are bits of meat in your mouth,” not knowing what else to say. He put the hamburger down and I told him to eat it because I would never kiss him. And my husband is not a vegetarian. This guy was just gross.
Cynthia Nicoletti says
What a terrible time I’m so sorry for what you went through. Some men I’m just really in saying I would have just walked away .
Cindy Ingalls says
I’m so glad I don’t have to date any more! Sounds like you escaped just in time!
Sarah-Louise Bailey says
Getting a date from dating sites is something that you cannot always say you’re lucky! It is better to date with someone that you knew personally.
Charlotte says
is this guy kidding! lol I would have been done at the food part, ordered myself a big old plate of chips and had a better evening on my own! What a tool, it’s funny now but what a horrble and awkward situation to have been in!
Stephanie Merry says
Now that sounds like a terrible date! I’ve had a fair few of these as well x
Stephanie Usher says
Wow! I’m so sorry that you had such an awful date, what an arse! xxx
Gloria says
” …he does not like to watch girls eat in front of him because it ‘puts him off’. ” WHAT?! Oh, good grief. I can’t stop laughing at that one. I would have stood up and left. That moment. You really should have run for the hills then and there.
Jenni says
Oh my gosh your date sounds awful, a guy boasting about how great he is every 5 minutes would drive me insane. I’ve not had a bad date luckily.
The London Mum says
Hahaha oh my god! Total disaster date!! He sounds like a real character though.. god help the girl he ends up with!
Mel says
Oh wow that guy sounds absolutely awful! So glad you blocked him. I can’t wait to read some other people’s dating disasters too!
Blair villanueva says
I have to grab a bowl of popcorn and read your post. Lol soo entertaining!
Nayna Kanabar says
What an awful experience, I hope you put it behind you and don’t let it get in the way of potential new dates.
Nazrin says
This is horrible! You had a lucky escape & you’ve learnt some good lessons from this awful experience!

Joanna says
Your story reminded me of JP from Fresh Meat (brilliant series and he did become a good boy by the 4th series but still). I can’t believe this kind of specimens do believe that their attitude will ever bring them a serious girlfriend. Flying you to New York, that was probably just a phrase to make you think that he is loaded with money, to fall at his feet. As if money were supposed to be a girl-catcher. Rather poor than with someone like him, haha
Rachel George, Ordinary Hopes says
Wow! He was a seriously bad date! Compared to that, I have only ever had great dates!
Krystle Cook says
Dating can definitely be so trivial sometimes. This made me giggle in some parts because you are speaking the truth!
Rhian Westbury says
To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever been on a particularly bad first date, although like you I am very picky about the ones I’ve been on. Mine would usually be bad afterwards and end with him disappearing x
Emily Leary says
Oh gosh, that man sounds rather deluded! I suppose it was good of him to make it clear how incomparable you were from the start, even if it was totally unintentional!
Anvita says
Oh, my !!!! That seems like a really disastrous date. Some people are so full of themselves, it’s unbelievable.
suzy Mccullough says
Woah. How do men like this even exist in this day and age? Tool for sure and enough to put you off dating forever. Scary. Especially not letting you eat.
Whitney aka Mrs. Millennial says
I would have left as soon as he had the comment about not eating. No one has time for that nonsense. Glad I’m not in the dating scene anymore!
Ania Travels says
Some guys!!!! I totally get the feeling though, I’ve been back in the dating scene fairly recent (excpt I’m dadting as a nomad) and holy crapsickle some guys I just cant… BEst of luck to you though.
Ickle Pickle says
O.M.G. what a vile man! I was cringing at everything he said to you – I can hardly believe it! You poor thing! Kaz x
lex says
dating can be tough on us all, first date experiences comes with alot of tension to some who try to impress and make up a good start for a better stay and longetivity but some end up ruining it all, i kinda prefer the live it as it and if they want to, they will stay and if not, they will go. you sure had a hell of ones and twos here.
Cecilia C. Cannon says
I think everyone has experienced at least one bad first date, and key word, at least one. You might have more. part of the whole life thing experience
Musings of a tired mummy...zzz... says
I’m surprised you stayed that long! I chatted online to some weird people when I signed up to match.com but I just ignored them when they got too peculiar and thankfully I met Chris within the first month!
Angela @marathonsandmotivation.com says
Great post, you really are a gifted writer and made me laugh!! Also, I absolutely love your dress and boots!!!
Jenny says
He sounds truly terrible but what a great story!
Kaity | With Kids and Coffee says
Oh wow. Glad you made it out okay! Dating can be such a nightmare sometimes. :/
Sincerely Ophelia says
Bad first dates are the worst. This guy is crazy though, not even letting you eat. Not sure what it means by put him off, because I’m sure he eats as well. The experience that followed is not great either. Glad that’s over with.
Kristina says
Some men I can’t even believe. I’ve had one bad first date and was just fed up and irritated. Dating now days is scary and can suck.
David Elliott says
I don’t think I have anything that would compare to your dating experience. I have had ones where women showed up on the date practically naked and demand a massage and sex. Wait. . . maybe that’s just as bad. Hmmmm… Then I did have one who stared at me the whole entire date, barely saying a few words. I know my dating experiences have ranged all over the place.
Sondra says
That guy should just keep quiet since he kept putting his foot in his mouth. That is no way to win a girl over. I hope you have luck with a real genuine man.
Stacey says
There really are some sleazy people out there! Men and women. Unfortunately they don’t wear signs that give us notice before we sit down at a date with them. Fortunately, I have never experienced a date like yours. Live and learn.
Leandra - LarabeeUK says
Omg Ana I don’t know how you stuck it out for as long as you did. What a complete idiot! You definitely had a close shave there, good job you weren’t feeling low enough to give in at the time x
Kara Guppy says
OMG< what an absolute Numpty (that's the politest thing I could say). I cannot remember any dating disasters, it has been far too long but I must have had some
Sierra says
I loved this story! Don’t get me wrong, I am so sorry you had to go through that. However as a reader I couldn’t wait for the next twist and turn. The moment someone (especially a man) tells me not to eat is the moment I order a large hamburger with fries and an extra side of onion rings – don’t forget the shake.
Amila Wickramarachchi says
Oh my!This post could make me laugh and I can imagine how uncomfortable you were when you were really hungry,but couldn’t eat! You sure have much patience to spend more time with him and to listen his crazy talks! 🙂
Newcastle Family Life says
He sound’s like a total idiot, some people amaze me the way that they go on. Sadly there is so many men like this xx
fashionmommy says
OMG Ana, the man who didn’t like girls eating in front of him – what did he think, we survived on fresh air??? I’ve never had a terrible first date, but did have a very quiet one with a lad who hardly spoke – v. uncomfortable to say the least.
Gareth Torrance says
Random fact about me; I’ve only been on 3 dates in my life… And I’m also 30. The second one was a second “first date”, led to my third date ever, which led to the relationship that has given me marriage and a daughter.
Brittany says
Most of mine were in high school. We were a part of a youth group together and we both had some pretty crazy rules from our parents. Now we all laugh it off.
Brandi Puga says
I love your hairpeice in these photos! Dating is a rough gig, it’s definitely not something that i miss but that i wish you the best of luck with!
Jeanine says
My first date with my now husband was pretty awful. But clearly he didn’t think so, haha! I love reading other peoples dating nightmares to feel better about mine, but wow! Glad you are ok and things are well!
kerry norris says
Some men are such prats. My worst first date wasn’t that bad really but it involved me spilling food (which had tomato sauce on it) all down my white top and he basically told me I was an idiot 🙁
margarette says
Haha. I almost cried laughing while reading your post. Though t’was your worst first date, am pretty sure readers got some idea on having a worst date.
Lucy | Real Mum Reviews says
Wow – I am amazed you lasted as long as you did! He sounds like a total idiot!
Helen says
Oh wow, he really does sound an absolute tool. And so creepy too! You definitely dodged a bullet there Ana.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a spectacularly bad first date worth telling.
Sarah says
Ughhh. What a hideous pig of a man! Glad you got out when you did! I’ll share your post for you incase anyone I know has any stories x
Mummy Times Two says
I really really don’t miss dating. It really can be so tricky, especially those first few trips out together xx
Whitney Loren says
This date disaster really made me laugh so much! Some men are so strange and so up their own a**. However, lucky escape and I hope you never have to experience a date like that again, nor do I ever want to encounter one!
XO
Angela Bethea says
I can still recall some of the worst Date I had when I started dating before. I am so glad I am not in tha phase anymore.
Amber Nelson says
Wow! That guy sounds like a big time idiot! It is just so hard for me to fathom what makes them think people are going to find that appealing..especially on a first date!
Yasmin Ali says
Oh my god. What a disaster! I would have walked out the minute he said he doesn’t like watching girls eat, because I’m constantly eating. I don’t have any terrible date stories, but I had my first kiss happen 2 minutes into a date in an elevator hahahaha.
Rebecca Swenor says
You have beat all my first dates. This guy was just plain rude. I would have probably left after his remark about women and eating. Thanks for sharing your very disastrous first date with this guy.
ellie says
oh my gosh girl I feel this! I had a seriously bad date once … also in a “spoons” in my Uni town, it was terrible I felt like I was on a date with a. 80 year old!! Needless to say there was no second date.
Ellie | http://www.scotchandstilettos.com
Claire says
Omg, it’s horrible. I hate to experience something like this on my first date! I actually never experienced something negative on my first date but this changed my point of view.
suchi says
ooh goodness, that sounds crazy!dating can be a nightmare sometimes…glad you got out of that one.
yukti says
It is very sad that you had terrifying experiences. But you are bold enough to write them and save many girls falling for fake guys. I think guys are always fake when it comes to dating.
Dannii says
Oh wow, what an experience. This is one of the many reasons why I am thankful that I haven’t dated.
melissa major says
Such a nice outfit, O my goodness such a shame about the date though
Heather says
This is a good one! I honestly don’t have many bad first date stories but I sure do love reading others.
Vijay says
Mostly people like to share success dating but disaster one. But boldly share it. That’s great. Personally I won’t trust anyone before I see in person.
devajani says
Oh well, it made me laugh but at the same time, these kind of people leave me worried. Where we are really heading towards. Raising two kids on my own I want them to fall in love and cherish it. The truth is life is not at all that easy. However, we can’t stop loving! By the way love your shoes. You are a gorgeous girl.
Yeu Doi says
Dating can be quite tricky. Posts like this help young women to navigate the process. 🙂
Kira says
Sounds bad but I’m really glad you stuck through the date just so I had the pleasure of reading this post! I was cringing so hard but I loved reading it!
Grace says
This post made me laugh so much! I admire your patience I would have left his ass right there and would go find me some food.
Rachel Catherine says
Dating can be such a horrible experience. I always hated it and I’m glad social media wasn’t so big when I did it.
Stephanie says
Oh my gosh! I met my hubby online, and the amount of guys who would just send images of their ‘bits’ to me without even saying Hi!! You really think THAT would make me want to talk to you?!
Elizabeth O says
What a bloody nightmare to be stuck with such a narcissistic jerk. I’m glad you high-tailed it out of there and left him to his own delusions.
Via Bella says
Holy wow! That dude is cray first off, but it was so crazy my mouth was open and laughing at the thought that he actually thought he had a chance. I am so glad you walked home. With all that delusion crap, holy crap is all I can say.
I am not looking forward to dating again for sure and this is why.
The Frenchie Mummy says
I had some funny dates before meeting Grumpy Boyfriend. So happy I am not on the market anymore after reading this LOL
Denice says
My oh my, what a terrible date! I hope you don’t mind me saying this Yvonne but I had fun reading what you shared! I don’t know how I would personally handle the situation if I was in your position though.
Ashleigh Dougherty says
What an absolute psycho! I can’t believe he had the cheek to bombard you with texts after being such a terrible date! I have so many similar horror stories about dating. There really are so many awful men in this world!
Kristine Nicole Alessandra says
Thank you for sharing your story. When I was in my freshman year in high school, someone wanted to ask me out for a date which I declined everytime. I was not particularly fond of the perfume he sprays all over the greeting cards and stuffed toys he gives me. I did give him a chance, just one afternoon date at the coffee shop. His perfume was so overpowering I could not even taste my coffee. 🙁 Worst date ever.
SM Raiyyan says
Lol! No comments to be honest! But, this one really made me laugh like hell!
Jayne @ Sticky Mud and Belly Laughs says
Haha! Oh god Ana 😂 He sounded like a right prat. I would have told Mr Tool (and his little tool) to go do one 😉
Thanks for sharing with #MMBC. Hope to see you Monday xx
Oyinkan Ogunleye says
OMG girl! Men who brag are annoying!
I can totally understand how you were turned off.
Lubka Henry says
It’s unbelievable that guys like this one exist. Seriously!!
Anna R Palmer says
At least it gave you a good story?
Joanna Bayford says
What a creep there really are some utter tools out there. I’ve been very lucky to have met my hubby when I was 18 and only been with him so not had to experience any bad dates.
Alan Moore says
omg haha run…don’t look back hehe
Yes I do have one. I will type it up later an email it over.
Ana De- Jesus says
Brilliant I can’t wait to read it!
Becca Talbot says
Oh Ana, I have so many “worst first date” stories, I wouldn’t know where to start!! Honestly, I have been on so many seriously disastrous dates that I’ve decided to stay single for the foreseeable future. I won’t be joining any more online dating sites or apps – so if I do by chance meet someone it won’t be on “Plenty of Freaks” 😛 x
Gemma says
Oh my word, what a disaster. He sounds like an interesting sort… I’ve had a few odd dates where the conversation was so dull or they spent the whole time talking about themselves. Dating is a murky water full dangers and dreary evenings. I did however meet my husband via online dating sites and we hit it off instantly. All he bad dates were worth it to meet him.
Bethany says
I both cringed and laughed, how weird. I’ve never been on a date, and definitely dreading it now lol
Rebecca Smith says
That really does sound like a dating disaster, he sounds awful!
Tanya Brannan says
Oh My Lord!!! I read with equal parts of laughter and cringing! What an absolute tool he was, and completely deluded.
I am so glad that I don’t have to deal with the dating game, as I think I would just become a mad cat lady instead….. far easier! xx
Olivia says
Oh my god, you read about these kind of guys but you never expect to find one yourself. He sounds like a vile vile man, and the fact he thought you liked him back… what an idiot!
You deserve so much better Ana x
Monidipa says
You are wayyyy patient, trust me. I would have simply walked away. But your experience was hillarious.
