“I was on a casual date in a park with a guy I had never met before.
We then walked to a Starbucks so he could, and I sat there for around 20 minutes.

I called my dad to drive me home .”

“I went on a date with a man who I met through a dating app.

He then took me to a gentlemans club 30 minutes away.
After the show, he drove us back drunk and speeding in his convertible.
He was messaging other women on the dating app at the same time.

He ended the night by saying, ‘So Ill be hearing from you again?
Because Im such a cool guy, and dates with me are the best.'”

“We met up to play pool at a local joint.
We had a couple of conversations prior to this.

We met on a dating app, but didn’t have any ‘kink’ information in our bios.
I bailed and blocked him.

I got out of the car at a red light and called my sister to pick me up.”

Throughout this date, all she did was talk about her ex.
“This was a couple of years ago, so I had no idea I was lactose intolerant.
About an hour on the train back, my stomach started getting queasy.
I practically hopped off the train and ran down the train station as she looked on in horror.
She had no idea why I was booking it.
I ran up the stairs, but I already felt it dripping out of me.
I asked someone who worked in a rich restaurant where the washroom was.
When I got to the washroom, it all came out.
She texted me, ‘Why did you run away?’
I said I needed to use the washroom real bad.
Regardless of what I said, she didn’t believe me.
I took the underwear and threw it in the garbage.”

I told him that I’m a young student and definitely child-free and intend to remain that way.
Then he springs on me that he does have kids!
He had lied so I’d go on a date and then be trapped.
I told him, ‘Okay, so you’re telling me you’re a ‘deadbeat’ dad?
That’s even worse.’
I left and cut contact with him.
He tried contacting me again, being indignant and telling me that people never give single parents a chance.
I didn’t argue.
I just blocked him and reported him."

So he picked me up and took me to a decent sushi place.
The actual dinner went fine, aside from him being VERY nervous and visibly sweating.
This dude was literally screaming, ‘I love you, yo let me in!!!’
as I politely but quickly went inside I blocked him immediately."

I finished my drink and excused myself to the bathroom.
I tracked down our waitress and paid for our drinks.
The double whammy of using me and being crass did me in."

“Halfway through dinner, she asked me if I was religious.
Then she asked me if I would consider converting, and I said no.
A sign of what?
She then followed me to the grocery store.”

We finished the meal and payment and I just shook her hand and said ‘thanks.’
I walked to the exit and said ‘bye’ to her friend.

“It was a blind date through a friend of a friend.
He did NOT STOP TALKING the entire time.
Didnt ask me one question.
I just sat there mentally playing my favorite songs in my head until the bill came.
Because Im a nice person and thought he might be nervous, I gave him another chance.
The same thing happened over the phone.
I fell asleep for 15 minutes, and when I woke up, he was still talking.
We did not meet up again.”

“He told me his mom would love me and bake me cookies while we robbed banks.
He threw my hand at me and walked away with a loud scoff.”
“I thank my lucky stars I wasnt assaulted that night.
I had no idea that happened in real life, but his calves were truly massive.”

Anyways, fast forward to when we were meeting in person.
She also dated and broke up with her other roommate.
These two breakups went so badly that she almost got kicked out of her apartment."
We exchanged social media accounts and I only saw her again briefly at graduation.

She said she saw some friends she knew at the bar and would be right back.
The food came, and she wasn’t back.
Well, I was watching a game, so I wasn’t really paying attention to the time.
Halftime came, and she wasn’t back.
I looked over and she was having a grand time with friends.
Her food was cold, so I figured it was time to go.
I had her food boxed up, paid the bill, and left.
I never heard from her again."
We met up, and she arrived 30 minutes late.
The chatty and flirty person I’d been talking to just wasn’t there at all.
She had short, curt answers and was CONSTANTLY on her phone.
I felt like I was doing all the heavy lifting with the conversation.
“I saw red I refused to be treated like that by anyone.
He smiled and said, ‘I know what you’re doing…good luck to you!’
One of the worst, but definitely memorable dates.”
