My favorite was the first one I had after my separation. First off, her photos were 5-10 years old and -75 lbs...

But since I was new to the game and a gentleman I did not up and leave.

We had arranged to meet for a cup of coffee, so I had already eaten. She did not and immediately upon entering my car began to whine about being hungry. I first had to identify her since she looked nothing like her photo.

I did not want to listen to her whining so I took her to a nearby restaurant. While she was talking to me with her mouth full she was shooting food projectiles across the table.

When the date finally ended she leaned in to kiss me and I managed to turn my face in time so she got only cheek. She then asked when would we be getting together again. huh huh

I did not go out on another date for a year after that!!!

That is why I now have several pre-designed date escape routes firmly in place!!!!!!

I've had two dates from hell in the last couple of months, and both of them came courtesy of online dating (from another site... not this one... yet)-

- the first date I had was with some loon from Las Vegas who had a penchant for snapping cell phone pics of stupid crap to send to her friends. She also had a habit of chattering like a monkey with said friends while I was trying to have some meaningful conversation with her. She spent SO much time on the cell phone with her idiot friends that her food (I had taken her to a rather nice Japanese restaurant, known as "Kabuki") had gotten cold which she wouldn't eat. And THEN she wanted to go to the hotel said friends were hanging out after dinner, too.

Gee. If she was SO interested in hanging out with her friends, she shoulda dated THEM instead and left me alone. explode

- the other date was doomed from the start. We were supposed to meet up over a weekend, but she then had the nerve to tell me that her OTHER date scheduled for mid-week had flown off to Sweden (I couldn't tell you as to why that was), and decided that I should be the "surrogate" date. Instead of bowing out when I had the chance, I agreed and we set a time.

So I drive out to her place at the appropriate time, and I find that she ISN'T ready- she had spent the day with her friend (what a surprise) and had lost track of time, I guess. She didn't end up getting ready until a whole hour later. It's then where I find that she totally lied about herself in terms of her appearance- height, weight, you name it... she didn't even come CLOSE to being truthful. Despite this, I decide to go ahead with plans.

So we go to a local seafood restaurant/bar, where even more time ends up getting wasted.

However, said date acknowledges that the date was rather haphazardly put together, and we agree to another one (something I call a "mulligan", a golf term essentially meaning a "do-over").

We set up the date, only to find that she's flaked out on me. Then she e-mails me a week later saying that she had some issues to work out, and she sets up another date for the date. She flakes out again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

After about a couple of weeks of this crap (I had stopped paying attention a long time ago), she THEN says that we aren't "compatible" and wants to call things off.

Fine by me, I reply- the whole thing was a fiasco to begin with.

But THEN one of her friends on said online dating site decides to call me a "terrorist" for some unexplainable reason, which results in a whole other fiasco.

If there's anything that can be said, it's this- dating in L.A. sucks much donkey balls. It really does.

My worst date ever got drunk... bit me like a cheeseburger on the neck, and asked me to drive him home because he had no license.

He arrived late and was not at all what his pictures showed. Plus it was winter and he had on jean shorts, t-shirt, Cleveland Browns cap and Teva sandals. He sat far away and eventually called my phone from inside the bar, saying he was "shy". We played pool while he got snockered and then he just leaned in and bit me! I'm pretty sure tears sprung to my eyes.I know I had to wear concealer.

The date ended there. He did ask me for a ride home and said his parent's dropped him off, as he moved in after his license was suspended for a year (DUI ... shocker I know).

I did take him home, as it was on the way, and he said "Do you want to come in for a minute?"

I said, "Oh... is that all it would take? No thanks".

He did apologize later and I suggested treatment for his obvious alcohol problem. No second date.

Must be lucky, have had some quite not great dates but haven't had that date from hell yet.

Did go out to a local sports bar, and was disappointed in the person he turned out to be. Very mean (to servers), disrespectful/loud (other patrons) and obnoxious (all without cause).

I just excused myself called my daughter and she gave me my get out of the date call. He did want another date but I didn't.

Setting the scene:
Divorced for just about a year, separated a year before divorce. Occupied myself with work, did not date, nor take an interest in such.
Friends and good co-workers I had basically harassed me into talking to a woman who was trying to make herself noticed to me (yeah yeah..typical male..I know...) and take her out.

Pre-Flight:
Talked to her, and made arrangements to go out following my next upcoming business trip. She seemed very happy with such. Coming home from trip, flights were a bit delayed, so I told her this, but also that I expected to be on time for our date. Note - due to work, this means I would get there after about 28 hours without sleep. That becomes important later.

Take-off and cruising:
I did arrive on time - barely - and we went out. Typical dinner, movie date, and she was very pleasant company in all respects. Neither of us was ready for the date to end after the movie - so I took her to a local pier and beach area for a evening walk. (32 hours and counting) which was again - pleasant in all respects, even if I was a bit tired.

Approach for landing:
After our walk, took her back home. She offered me some coffee if I cared to come inside. Well - 33 hours and a 1.5 hour drive to get to my home ? Coffee? Wonderful!! "Yes..thank you!"

Losing altitude AND control:
During coffee - she made it *very* clear that I was welcomed to stay the night - and with her. Now - I am not so puritanical that I would never consider such a thing. She was very pretty and had been very pleasant all evening. But remember - 33 hours, no sleep? Most females will get a bit upset if you are snoring 5 seconds after sex for the first time.

Crash and Burn:
So - I politely decline, and can see she is not very happy. I try to smooth things a bit - and offer that i would love to take her out tomorrow, if she would like. Didn't help - she is more upset.
I explain - certainly not a rejection of any sort - am just very tired. And if she still desires tomorrow after our date, my answer would certainly be different. Worse still - her voice is raising.
I tell her that I feel bad she is upset - but offer her my number, and that either she can call, or I would call as soon as I awoke. No good - she is getting really pissed now, and I haven't a clue why.

So - time to go here - I pick up my coat from the chair - SHE picks up a knife from the counter! Oh friggin joy. I just do the first reaction - take the knife, and do this push-pull routine that ends up with her outside the door, which I lock.
Damminint - now I am in HER house, and she is out there with my ride. And various objects to trash it with. Great.
She runs for the front door - which I lock and realize it is past time to call the calvary. Call sheriffs hoping that it will NOT be one of the fellows I know. BBBUUUZZ..should have figured that by now.
So - two of them show up - she is berserk - after they get her back under control - the two YUKS start harassing me. Seems this is not the first date she had end like this.

Aftermath:
I have to go to court, of course. I talk to judge and he agrees to a mandatory counseling routine, instead of straight jail time. Okay cool.
Couple weeks go by - I am giving neighbor lady a lift and get stopped. Yup. The YUKS - "Oh...just checking to see how you were" For a year after that...any time I had a date..and they seen me - I got pulled over by these grinning idiots. "Just to check on me"

Thankfully - although a few may not have been very pleasant - that is the last of any 'dates from hell' I have ever had.
