Worst dating experience ever?!!!

[lgw]

I've had some doozies but this one stands out as one of the worst. Of course, it probably was for the guy.

So years ago when Internet dating came into its own, I tried the service. I met a guy who seemed nice and we decided to go out on a date. However, my intuition was already warning me that I shouldn't proceed, even before we met. First, the guy would not send me a picture and he was very evasive about his looks. Now, I try to not be shallow, but on a basic level there are certain physical characteristics to which I'm attracted.

So I agree to meet the guy at his house -- second big mistake. His house turns out to be a run-down apartment in a seedy part of a city with which I was unfamiliar. He opens the door and I find out why he has been so hesitant to describe himself. Picture a very balding Ralph Crandon (Honeymooners) wearing Dickies.

I was very hesitant to enter his apartment, but I did anyway. Third mistake. He then proceeds to tell me about his ex-wife and his three children, to which he is paying oodles of child support, which are causing him to be broke. Then he starts lecturing me about religion. Now, I'm pretty private about religion, as in I don't lecture people about or talk much about my faith. But he kept pushing and pushing me into a more uncomfortable position.

Finally, we leave and he suggests I leave my car at his apartment and we ride to the restaurant in his car. I tell him no, that I'd rather we drive separately since it will make my drive home easier. He agrees. We head toward the highway, with me following him. The more we drove, the more strongly I felt I could not stand another minute with this guy.

So he enters the highway going south. Something in my clicked and at the last minute, I continued driving past the south on-ramp, got on the highway northbound and got the heck out of there. Escape!

Later that night, ex-BF contacted me and we had dinner together. That led to a rekindling of our relationship, and here we are now, 10 years later, married.

I have had so much fun reading this thread. I just have to add mine.

First Date Ever.

This was back many many years ago, back when all the NEON colors were in style. I was 16 wearing a brand new Purple outfit. I cringe now thinking I actually wore it, but it was so cool back then.
Anyway a Senior (that I was *in love* with) asked me to the movies. He picked me up and we went to the movies..to see FIRST BLOOD(Rambo) ..after he bought the tickets he turned to me and said " Should we have seen some cartoon instead". I can't remember the name of the other movie..Anyway all during the movie he kept leaning over asking me if I was OK..if I was going to be sick..the scene were Rambo sews up his arm brought the most concern..LOL
After the movie, he pulls into the Sonic drive in and orders his food. complete with total and then turns to me..OH Did you want anything?? Uh NO..I sat while he ate. It was still early but I told him to go ahead and take me home. All the way home, he makes fun of my outfit. "If I had known you were going to wear that I wouldn't have used my headlights." and other comments. I was fuming..

He gets me home and walks me to the door, and leans down to kiss me on the FOREHEAD!!! I turned around, walked in, shut the door and left him standing on the porch. My mom still laughs about me leaving him on the porch.

Sadly he passed away a couple of years ago, he was killed in a freak accident.

I have a doozy for you. I worked with this guy kinda sorta, we worked at the same place but different shifts but on the same machine, and we would talk between shifts. I knew his exwife and kids, they used to hang with my daughters. A few days before Memorial Day he said he was having a cookout and did I want to come? He said his kids would be there and a few other people we both know, so I said yes. He picked me and my grandson up ( we lived about 30 miles apart). Now keep in mind when we talked it was about work, nothing personal, no flirting or stuff like that, just as friends. We get to his place and there is a mattress on the floor in front of the couch and we were told dont walk on that..umm okay, so we had to walk on the couch to get into the kitchen, where there was NO food, no beverages, nothing, and no one else was there. Oh, he had alcohol. So we visit for awhile and hes talking weird stuff, like we should carve our initials into a tree, then this love song was on the radio and he says, this should be our song, weird, wierd things. I was silently thinking what the hell? About an hour later I said Boy I sure am hungry, wheres the food and where is everyone? He tells me he they will be there soon and he was going to the store to get food. I tell him I am going to walk to McDonalds ( about a block away) to get grandson some food. He gives me a key to get back in. We get back and grandson (2) procedds to dump his orange drink all down himslef, so I pop him in the tub to clean him up. After I get him out, this idiot comes in the bathroom and YELLS because the floor was wet. Very, slightly wet, as in wet from getting him out of the tub, no biggie, I was wiping it up when he walked in anyway. He closes the door, locks it and grabs me!!! I was livid! I told him to let me go, I was leaving. He proceeds to tell me he was sorry, but I wasnt going anywhere! WTF? Then he says dont you believe in true love? WHAT? He kept going on about how hard it is to find someone to love, blah, blah, blah. Me, Im thinking, ya no wonder, if you treat them like this. How the mattress was for gson and son to sleep on and I was sleeping with him that night!! Oh no I dont freakin think so. This is a long story, sorry. So anyway I want to leave sooo bad, (oh ya, forgot to tell ya how he pulled down his pants, in front of gson, to show me a scar on his, well, you get the idea) I freaked. So, I couldnt leave because a) he drove me there and wouldnt take me home and b) my son was at his dads and was going to drop him off there and I had no way to get ahold of him to tell him not to, so I had to wait for son to arrive. I manage to get out of the bathroom and into the front room where I sat and played with gson and ignored the idiot. I made some phone calls and finally found a ride to a friends house, he came over and we sat outside waiting for son to arrive, and after son arrived we left. I had been there about 4 hours. In that time no one showed up, no one called to say they werent coming and he never called anyone to say, hey where are you. So I get to my friends house and then the phone calls start. He accused me of keeping his house key and had callled the cops about it. I didnt answer any of calls, let them go straight to voicemail. I did call him to tell him his damn key was on his tv, where I left it. He threatened me, saying he knew where I Iived and I had better watch my back, etc. I didnt call the cops but did keep the voicemails just in case, there were about 17 of them!! The next day I get home and there were more than 30!! All threatening, etc. I had bruises on both arms from where he grabbed me. I still didnt call the cops I called the friend that picked me up and he took care of it for me. *grin* Anyway, a few days later at work I told co-workers about what had happened and one of them tells me that a few years prior the guy had been arrested for rape!! OMG!! I felt so lucky to have made it out of there basically unharmed. That was a horrible experience and thank god gson didnt see him grab me in the bathroom.
