hey proceed with caution.
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.”

“A friend fixed me up with her newly single cousin (it was a blind date).
She claimed he’d be perfect for me.
We met in a pub, and for nearly two hours, he talked about nothing but himself solidly.
His life, job, workout routine, political opinion, and so on.
He never asked me a single question and I couldn’t get a word in.
Every time I tried to speak, he held his hand up to silence me.
I was so annoyed and disgusted with his arrogance that I just said, ‘Excuse me?’
I haven’t spoken to that friend since.
I have no idea why she thought I would like a man like that.
He was awful this was quite a while ago, but it really turned me off.”

“I was catfished (before the term was invented, we called it ‘Myspace angled’).
It was my literal first-ever date.
We clicked and decided to meet.
I showed up at her place with flowers and was nicely dressed.
I was met by her parents and sibling at the door.
The father was in the military and grilling me.
I was nervous and felt awkward.
After 10 minutes, she finally came downstairs.
She gave me a quick hug, and gave me a printed picture of her.
We would be the ‘it couple’ on campus, and then we’d marry after graduation.
Again, this was my first date.”
“Thankfully, dinner ends quickly.
She said she wasn’t a huge horror fan, so this will sink the date.
I asked her, and she said it was a great idea.
I said I had, and I was going to bed.
The next day, I started to take a stab at fade out.
She didn’t like that, and I blatantly said, ‘I’m sorry.
I didn’t feel the spark.
Besides, I think it would be best if we both attend college single.’
She cried and demanded a few more dates.
Fast forward a few weeks, and we have pre-freshman orientation in the summer.
I met a woman who was 100% more my jot down there, and we clicked.
Around this time the catfish started calling and bugging me.
She said she heard I was dating someone else.
She wouldn’t stop calling, texting, and messaging me on AIM and Myspace.
I had to block her.
We eventually broke up, and after we did, my catfish would ‘run into me’ on campus.

It took me way too long to fully comprehend what he was saying.
Are you aware I am in possession of a vagina?
That was the end of that.”

I decided not to text her after the date.

We paid our bills, he went to the restroom, and I dipped out.
I’ve been using a Google Voice number for online dating for years.

“I was asked out to a concert with a girl who had an extra ticket.
We met two hours before the concert.
She was talking about how the singer used to send her dick pics.
She also admitted that she was banned from the band’s concerts for a while due to stalking them.
I wanted to give the band at least a chance, but it was awful.
That was our first and only date.”

“We went to a club where there were lots of dancing.
There was a woman there who was clearly trashed, and blacked out on the dance floor.
I don’t know how she was still standing upright, as she looked like she shouldn’t be.
It made me sad and worried for her.
Needless to say, I rejected his offer to stay over that night.
I braved the NYC subway at 2 a.m. instead there was no second date.”

“I had a first date with a nice enough woman.
It was late October and you could see he had been out in the streets for a long time.
I walked over and gave him what amounted to a small feast.
I politely turned and thanked her for her time, then said, ‘Your empathy button must be broken.
I can’t date you.
Have a good night.’
I walked her to her car and never spoke to her again.”

“She said, ‘I don’t want to be in a relationship with a disabled person.’
I wear an ankle support which you would never know unless I showed you.
I don’t wear shorts, as I’m a bit insecure about it.

We were having a great time together, and there was definitely chemistry.
It ended because his ex was ‘an onery ‘slut’ with a nasty mouth.’

“A friend set me up on a date with one of his female coworkers.
I called her the day of our date to coordinate.
She also explained that she was driving down the wrong side of the interstate on the last one.
I just said, ‘Yeah, this isn’t going to work out.’
She was upset but I didn’t care.

“The date went really well I was only looking for something casual and so was he.
The chemistry and connection were good, the kiss goodbye was meh.

I excused myself to the bathroom and called the police.
They picked him up on DWI.
It never made national headlines.”
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.'”
