Well that date was weird...

[rbstewart7263]

I remember there was this girl I took out once.cute,glasses but a little weird and a little shelteres. I remember she had this glazed over look in her eyes looking at me as though I were the epitome of perfection . It was weird.

Most romantic thing I ever did was take this girl I was head over feet forto the beach. It didn't happen between us but I still have good memories of those 2 days.

Wow, creepy. I guess he got the whole money and physical attractiveness thing because he couldn't be bothered to figure out how to interact with other human beings?

No, a lot of people just react positively to that sort of behavior. There's also the possibility that he wanted to get laid, and he learned that was one of the fastest ways to do it (buy people stuff, act cocky, be a prototypical alpha bro, seem "serious", etc.)

He probably knew how to get what he wanted up to that point in his life, but never how to have a mature, meaningful relationship. I wouldn't doubt that he found the her standoffish demeanor alluring in its own right because she seemed like a "challenge", or "deeper" than his usual type of girl. Or he just bet his buddies that he could bag a geek gamer girl. Just my experience with matter.

Really? I can't imagine the whole alpha male kind of thing working very well outside of getting you one-night stands with drunk girls. Never known it to actually work for anyone in a more normal situation.

Well, in the vapid college town and inner city demographics it seems to work pretty well at least. Sadly, it doesn't seem to just work for drunk girls and one night stands. Having money helps a lot too.

Went on a date to meet a girls parents, turns out her dad was an ex-navy seal that was honorably discharged because he got so many purple hearts or something. It was a tough break up............
And very Scary

Why was that cause for breakup?

 

[AngloDoom]

Wait, people actually do this? They just 'go for a date' with a random stranger?

I thought that was a thing made up by the American film industry, like exploding cars and Megan Fox. You just follow random people out to a place because they ask nicely with the intent of 'this is a date'?

Huh, you learn something new everyday.

 

[SweetShark]

Do you want to make you feel better? Ok. Why not.

So there was a day that I was in a party and I wanted to talk about something with a female friend of mine. I find her and I said to her:
"Do you really talked with your friends about the big size of my penis?"

And my friend was like:

[btw, she wasn't wearing glasses and her hair was shorter]

 

[TheAmokz]

Or the one who preferred communication via text... even in person.

People like that actually exist in real life? That is scary...

Out of curiosity, whete are you from? Because I think the whole "asking complete strangers out" thing is kind of BS.

UK - England more specifically.

I thought it was the norm to meet someone, get to know them, flirt furiously, develop feelings, then eventually ask them out. Not just meeting someone with a nice smile and saying 'LET US DATE'.

I thought the 'date' part happened when you were, y'know 'dating', going out, etc.

Serious weightlifters are...fucking strange outside of their own social groups.

In my extended friend group there are a few pro bodybuilders and olylifters and all of them are pure odd one way or the other.

One guy literally cant stop talking about sex to any one who will listen about his 'conquests'. Over one weekend away with a gang of mates where I shared a room with him he told me 45 personal sexual stories most of whom ended with 'and then I banged her. Up the ass.'

Another guy every time he has a few drinks uses his ability to pick girls up as an ice-breaker. As in when he's out he will walk over and physically pick a girl up over his head and hold her there. As a way to impress her/get her attention.

I've also heard him ask girls to go steady with him after talking to them socially for like about ten minutes.

It's fucking cringewothy sometimes.

Once a girl I was dating turned around to me after meeting them and asked me if they were retarded.


I've more stories but yeah....body builders are strange.

Good story though and I don't doubt for a second that its true!

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

I have had a few.

The most notable one would have to be this girl i was dating in high school. We were pretty serious and it was getting toward the end of my senior year and she was going schizo about Prom. I asked her and she said yes. So being a working guy (Having a job at 17 working 12 hour shifts graves) I paid for everything because i had a bit of disposable income.

She shows up and asks if she and her 'friend' (a gentleman i haven't met before and knew nothing about) could use my bathroom to get ready.

Of course i say "you can, he cannot, as i don't know him"

She responds with random anger and storms into the bathroom, after trying to stealthily grope him, not realizing from that angle i missed... NOTHING. He sits on my couch and glares at me for the entire time, whipping a butterfly knife in and out, trying to intimidate while i sat in my chair, doing nothing really. (Besides texting my best friend, and requesting him to get over to my house)

She returns, 'ready' for prom. Picture this if you will:

I spent probably 200 bucks on her dress and shoes and accessories. It was a rental but i paid for the insurance and whatnot. She picked out the dress and everything and i merely paid for it.

Instead of using the hair straightener on her hair, she decided to burn holes in said dress. She had shredded the wonderfully crafted lower part til it looked like a cyberpunk fairy from a 90's cartoon show would wear.

She then rips the dress off, tells me i'm a selfish asshole, gives the random guy the sloppiest, most oddly sexual kiss right on my couch and they laugh and leave.

(I was able to return the dress and after apologizing profusely and telling the guy i'd pay full damages, he didn't charge me full price {400 extra dollars}. I managed to only have to pay an extra 100)

So yeah, my net profit for that 'date' was a ripped up dress, a trashed bathroom and a rather psychotic ex girlfriend, who i STILL, don't have any idea how i managed that one.

My buddy showed up, and we went bowling instead. He was such an awesome bro, he had a tux left over from a wedding and since i was mostly gussied up, we went bowling in tux's and ties. Probably the most fun I've had bowling ever.

what... just... wha... WHAT???? Bi**hes be crazy, aight. But going bowling in tux's and ties sounds awesome

Too bad I can't contribute to this thread in any way, but just reading these stories... wow. The truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

-Snip-

As a Georgian I'd say you did the right thing. I'm glad you didn't die

OT: This thread makes me glad I'm not any of you XD

I've had my fair share of shitty relationships, but I can't say I've had any truly terrible dates in my time.

Really? Where are you from? It's not ridiculous to just ask someone out for either a tasty beverage or for some company at some entertaining event.

Step 1. Find someone you want to have a conversation with.
Step 2. Initiate conversation.

It depends where it's taking place. Striking up a conversation with a cute girl in line for Alan Tudyk's autograph is much better than a girl in line at Starbucks. I've met a great number of girls who I thought were attractive until they opened their mouths. What's the point of asking someone out that you know nothing about?

That was awkward just to read so can't imagine you how felt >.<

OT: I've not really had any strange dates, the worst date I had was when I got asked out by this guy who I thought was REALLY hot. But on the actual date we just had nothing to talk about, literally didn't say a word to each other. It felt like an eternity of sitting and looking away when we caught each others eye, pretending to be texting on our phones. Then we watched a film at the cinema which somehow made it worse. At the end of the date we kind of just looked at each other not knowing what to do, when eventually he kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye. I've never wanted to be further away from anyone ever -_-

 

[mattttherman3]

Well, one of my former best friends, now just friend, was getting married(he didn't have me in his party despite us being friends since kindergarden, came to find out I was too fat for the wedding pictures, hence the no longer best friends) and one of my buddies set me up with someone to go with. We meet for coffee and she just isn't in to me or is just as socially awkward as I am. Fast forward to wedding day, things got so awkwardly silent, I asked her what her favorite color was, since she wouldn't initiate conversation with me. Go figure at the reception, she is chatting up everyone except me, and getting drunk. So obviously she was there for the booze. I asked her to dance and she said "no thanks". She left early for some reason, stating she had a good night. Since she could barely stand, that was obvious. I ended up getting sent home from that wedding, because apparently cleaning up someone elses puke is a bad thing. I was more mad at that than anything else, I almost got into a fight with an off duty cop(didn't know he was a cop) fortunately, I remain slightly logical while drunk and didn't. Of course, they tried to get me a ride, but as soon as they turned their backs, I was out the door running.(reception was pretty close to my house. about a kilometer and a half).

Another more recent person, we went out, she talked my ear off, told me how she was molested as a child(red flag, don't bring that shit up when on a first date). Anyway, we text back and fourth after that, and she tells me how she's been in a threesome, loves anal, and rough sex. I'm thinking, well I'll end up losing my virginity for sure. Then she asks my size, thinking nothing of it, I tell her. Her response:"oh" and that's the last I hear of her. That made me so damn mad.

 

[Fidelias]

Holy crap, I thought I was a terrible date! Are there really people out there like that? That think that one date is enough to justify thinking about very long-term plans, like matching BATHROBES!?

My worst date was a couple of years ago. My mom set me up with her friend's daughter, who was looking for someone to go to the prom with. I went because I was pretty desparate; I'm pretty shy and I tend to blurt out wierd things that I see as jokes, but most people just don't get. Anyways, we went out for coffee, and this girl was like from a different world. Straight A's in school, multiple jobs, articulate speaker, not much free time, etc. The "date", if you'd call it that, lasted about 10 minutes. It consisted mostly of me trying to find an exit and long awkward silences.

I did manage to go on a wonderful date recently, which gave me hope that there are actually girls out there who share my interests.

Anyways, SaetonChapelle, I hope your future dates go better!

And maybe think about pepper spray, because that guy's creepiness was off the scale.

 

[IamQ]

came to find out I was too fat for the wedding pictures

That is both hillarious and really fucking mean at the same time if you don't mind me saying.

OT: Ain't got any of those stories yet.

That sounds terrifyingly close to a date I had a year or so ago. Although, I don't think it was *quite* as awkward as the date you mention, there was quite a lot of conversation. Although I think she thought I was some kind of criminal because wherever we went I'd get free drinks, cinema tickets, police officers giving me presents etc... It wasn't because I was a local crime kingpin or anything, it was just I traded loads of favours with local businesses and had a lot of friends, and with the timing of a good sitcom, everything happened on one evening. I think everyone thought they were helping. She ended up getting quieter and quieter until we parted awkwardly. Sad really, she was bonny, and a good laugh before that date.

To get to know them? I thought that would be obvious.

Unless you happen to discover everything about them in the first 5minutes of conversation, it usually takes a little time. And it helps to invite them somewhere where you can continue the brief conversation you started with them in line somewhere. Unless you're one of those checklist people.
