“Over a WORK email.
And, we were not the only people in the thread.”
Weaskedmembers of theBuzzFeed Communityto tell us the weirdest way someone has ever asked them on a date.
Some stories felt like quirky meet-cutes, but unfortunately, many were just plain bizarre.
Here’s what people shared:
1.
“I shared the same uncommon last name with a guy I met at a party in college.
We became Facebook friends, and apparently he did some digging to see if we were related.
This was after he posted, ‘Damn, I hope were not related,’ on my profile picture.

“While in college in CA, we had a bar on campus that served beer and wine.
Most people would go there in between classes or after a long day.
It was finals week and I had just finished my last final of the semester.
I didn’t move in time, and it smacked me right on my face.
I had no idea who threw it!
I was just stuck with some random coaster.
I ended up texting this anonymous number and we ended up being together for five years.
Always take a chance!”

3.He basically wrote an elaborate fan-fiction about what our first sexual encounter would be like.
“Over a WORK email.
And, we were not the only people in the thread.”
He then had to sit through the rest of the visit while I examined his knee, etc.
He seemed SUPER uncomfortable.
He should have waited until the end of the visit to ask me.
I still would have said no, but at least it wouldnt make the whole appointment cringeworthy!”
“My favorite: A friend was given two paper sheets by a guy she knew at university.
One sheet was a list of the Morse Code alphabet.
The other sheet was a message in written dots and dashes.
They ended up being close friends after that date.
They still are, actually.”

“Once, many years ago, I was out driving my sports car in the summer.
I had the windows down and the moonroof open.
Because I know how to make APPLESAUCE!!
WANNA GO OUT?!'
Was ‘applesauce’ a euphemism for something?
I’ll never know.”

“First, he asked for my email in class.
Then, he emailed me a WORD DOC asking me if I wanted to go out later.
This was in the fall of 2023.”
Has a man ever feasted on you before?!'
I responded with, ‘I’m engaged,’ and he then asked to use my cell phone.
Maybe he wasn’t formally asking me out.
I guess we’ll never know."

“There was this one guy I went to high school with.
We lived on the same school bus route and his sister made my life hell.
I joined the army and left the continent after high school.
I ended up back in town several years later.

“Not me, but my sister.
She got high-fived by a guy and he slipped a note in her hand asking her out.
She said no.”

“He wrote a rap and performed it for the whole class.”
One cop came and got them out.
The next day, he found me on Instagram and proceeded to message me asking me on date.
I went on three dates with him, but it just didn’t end up working out.”
“This happened last week.
A customer came in and I was helping him with a jacket and work gloves.
So of course I answered, ‘Yes, I do.’
Then he said, ‘So, would you like to get dinner sometime?’
He really was very kind and super attractive, but in my WORKPLACE?
But, also nice, since I rarely ever have someone randomly ask me out.”

“A guy I went to high school with used LinkedIn to message me and ask me out.
The message was sent at 11:48 p.m.
He responded in the morning saying, ‘Sheeesh, someone had a night.'”
He replied with, ‘So, should I update my status on Facebook?’
And i was like, ‘You do you boo-boo!’
There were zero romantic intentions in my messages.

“By sending incessant pictures of his junk.
“I’m from Malawi and I went to university in Zambia.
The WiFi at the apartment building where I lived wasn’t really usable.
I was like great, let me try this.
So, he helped me set it up and he gave me his number incase I had any issues.
I definitely had issues.
I tried calling the connection provider customer care and they basically referred me back to him.
Eventually, he finally came by the apartment building and sorted out the issue.
So, I was like great, thanks, have a nice life.”
He said he would be a devoted boyfriend and would take care of me and all this other stuff.
He was like, ‘I’ll take better care of you than he does.
I’ll love you more.’
Long story short, I blocked him.”

Anyway, want to go to homecoming with me?’
His mom drove us to dinner and then the dance in her minivan.
My date sat in the front seat next to her instead of in the back with me."
I have to give her credit because that was a lot to do for one mediocre date."
Sorry, but negging doesn’t work for me, pal."
