What's the worst date you've ever been on? We want to hear about your disasters - bringing someone wonderful to dinner and then not having your wallet. Doing something really embarrassing when you are trying to impress someone - Share it with us and lets see who's got the worst story.
I heard of a girl once who went out with a guy I know, to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. There she was trying to impress this guy who she had fancied for ages. When the waiter came along after the starter with the hot cloth to clean your hands with, she mistakenly thought it was some type of bread and tried to eat it!!! Can you imagine the reddner she had.

A gal pal of mine was asked out by this fella who she thought was WAY to good for her....she thought he was so out of her league and what was he doing with her etc etc...that she was a bag of nerves when she was due to meet up with him.....so she had a drink to calm her nerves...and another one...she was actually quite plastered by the time she turned up...I think the guy was actually quite keen but couldnt quite figure out what to make of her bizarre behavior....anyway the clincher was when she got up to go to the loo....and walked straight into the mirror instead...not the way to make an impression! or at least not the way to get asked out on a second date....she never did hear from him again funnily enough.....JPD
it's always a pal of yours.. isn't it
anyway, I believe ya, Thousands wouldn't, but I do ;)
YM ...
ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY!!
Years ago, I had liked a guy...for ages! He finally asked me out for a New Year's Eve party he was having in his house (his parents had gone away).
Early in the night, I was chatting with one of his best friends who mentioned that he was really disappointed because the girl he was crazy about (who lived just across the road) wasn't going to be there. He mentioned her name and I knew her...we played on the same basketball team. I knew she lived in this estate but hadn't known her address.
So thinking I'd earn brownie points with my guy, I told his friend that I'd go over and invite her to the party. He was thrilled and my guy was delighted that I was going to do this.
Went over and her dad answered the door and when I asked for her, he said she was just in shower but invited me in to wait.
He came out with a bottle of Pils (as you did in those days) and we sat there for about 20 minutes just chatting. Her dad was absolutely lovely man and we really hit it off.
Anyhow, next thing I heard her running down the stairs and she popped her head around the door and lo and behold...I'd never seen this person before in my entire life!!!
She has the same name as my team mate and lived in the same estate but it was a different girl.
I nearly died with embarrassment and handed a nearly empty bottle back to her dad and quickly exited. Her dad was in stitches laughing, I was mortified, especially knowing I had to go back to the party and tell the others.
So went back over, braving it! When I went in and told them, they fell around the place laughing and slagged me for the whole night.
That was my worst dating disaster ever!!!
Toffee
When I was younger I was very shy. Believe it or not. But anyway one night out in Malahide I got chatting to this really good looking girl told her we were going to Good Time Charlies. I really didn't think she be there... Well anyway she turned up with her group of friends we chatted we danced, and slow danced(but not to Careless Whisper Toffee!!!) at the end of the night I gave her my home phone number she didn't have one so she said, went home and automathically assumed that was it never see her again...
Well about 2 weeks went by and she was forgotten about. One night a guy from across the road knockked at my hall door and said to "Hey SD(not real name) I have set up a Dating Club and I found someone who you might be interested" and I laughed at him.. But he turned around and said to me that a girl just phoned him out of the blue and asked him did he know a particular name, my name, and he said yes. She gave him her address for me to call up some evening.
So once I got over teh nerves I called up to her. We were talking and she told me that she lost my phone number but she remember the area I told her where I lived and she went through the phone book for someone who lived in the area and phoned them randomly until she came across my neighbour from across the road, and also she took her dog walking around the area looking out for me. I was extremely chuffed that she went through all that. So I decided after all that I would take her for a meal. This was the first time I ever took anyone out for a meal, would have been in my early 20's. Anyway went for the meal a Chinese and it was lovely and great night... Until the end of the meal and the bill came... I was £20 short for the bill, I was so sick about that and luckyily she bailed me out, and gave me a bit of stick joking about it. Anyway we got out of that situation and went to the ATM and got money and made it up to her by buying her drink for the rest of the night... I think we went out on one more date after that and never saw her again...
After all her effort to find me and I went and ruined it... I have made sure I never make that mistake again.. Thank God for Mc Donalds Euro Menu deals now thats all I say :-) :-P

Actually can I delete that last post or is it too late.. I probably just ruined my chances again on Maybefriends :-)
SD
I went on a date with a handsome but rather unpredictable musician a few years ago. We were to meet in Cafe Mao at 7.30. At 7.25 he texted me to say he'd be half an hour late because he had got held up in traffic. At 7.50 he texted me to say he was running late because he couldn't find a parking spot. He eventually arrived at Cafe Mao at 8.30 full of apologies and a little flushed in the face. I had been studying the menu for the last hour and was starving, but he insisted on ordering two very expensive cocktails for us both even though I said I didn't want one. He was good enough to drink both cocktails. We sat down to eat at 9pm and he ordered a bottle of red. Then we ordered our food. He drank most of the red, then ordered another bottle, treating the waiter in a condescending, offhand manner. About a third of the way down the second bottle I noticed that his face was very red and angry. He started to rant and rave about his ex-girlfriends, his mother, his sisters and women in general using words like parasitic, smothering, devious and manipulative. Then he said to me "You believe in equality for women, don't you?" I said I did even though I hadn't equalled his drinking abilities that night! He caught the waiter's eye, clicked his fingers and the waiter came over. "Can I have the bill please" he said with a devious glint in his eye. "Certainly sir" the long suffering waiter answered and brought the bill over on a small silver plate. The waiter didn't have time to leave the table when my date shouted loudly, audible to everyone in the restaurant. "This woman believes in equality for women!" and slapped the bill down on my side of the table. He continued "If she believes in equality she can pay the bill for our meal!" Everyone was staring at us and I was morto. On studying the bill I noticed that the drinks cost way more than the actual food. I did a quick mental calculation, dug around in my wallet and left the exact amount for the food on the silver plate, then picked up my bag and coat and left the table. On my way out I told the receptionist that I had paid for the food at table X but that my companion would be paying for the drinks and I left a tip for the waiter. Then I went home.
Sister of Zorro - thats suitably appalling...I dont think anyone could top that ever! Not only does that deserve the biscuit, and the months free membership, but in fact you should get a medal for even being here and ever risking going out on a date again after that shocking experience! Well....only comfort is if you hit rock bottom, as you obviously did with that awful man, the only way to go is up like - seriously serial killers would make better dates than that! Good luck girl, you deserve it after that!! JPD
Wow Sister of Zorro... What an experience, I would love to have known what happened to him..Did he pay ??,,, Oh more important...Di you go on a second date :-P.... Don't worry not all guys are like that :-)
Singledad
SD, there was no second date - surprise surprise! I paid for the food and I don't know if he paid for the drinks as I never heard from him again. Maybe he got a job washing up in Cafe Mao.
Maybe he's still sitting there waiting for you to come back and pay? JPD
Well mine is not really a dating nightmare but it is a night out with men nightmare so might count. It was my first christmas party with work and i work with all men and wanted to make a good impression so went all out got the hair done, the nails, spent hours on make-up had spend a load of cash on clothes, underwear, shoes, perfume i went all out.. I got my BF of the time to give me a lift in to Burlington hotel and was even on time which is good for me,, so i am walking into the hotel thinking i am looking fab and getting looks from bouncers and winks from guys as i walk into lobby i am thinking to myself "i must look a million dollars" when a woman comes rushing over to me and grabs me quick and said my god did you not notice i looked down at myself and the buttons on my top were all open and i was showing everyone and the world the lovely new black lacy bra i had purchased needless to say after 8 years with the firm every year i am still getting asked to do my party piece :-)
