Dating Stories

I thought it might be fun to share some dating stories. Can be funny, sad, inspiring, anything you feel like.

To get the ball rolling here's a funny one.

A few years ago I tried online dating for the first time. On my first day I got a reply from a girl. She seemed OK, a bit older than I would have liked, but she was friendly and pleasant to chat with. She asked if I wanted to meet up, but before I agreed, I googled her user name. A hit! This girl had a profile on a BDSM hookup site. I checked to make sure it was her and it was; complete with pictures of her in fishnets stockings, tits hanging out with bulldog clips on the nipples and a big black rubber cock in hand. Needless to say I didn't meet her. Really dodged a bullet on that one.

Djinn - Similar story to yours. The man whom I checked online by his username checked out seemingly very well, until I found the same username simply on a list that was questionable to me. No further contact and no more looking into online possibilities for meeting people in a new region.

It is entirely possible that it was the same man or as well that it was someone using a same or similar username on the objectionable-to-me site. Either way, not worth the risk, in my book anyway.

Some years ago, I met a fellow on a popular dating site. When we spoke for the first time, I realized he had a very thick spanish accent. I mentioned it to him and he insisted he didn't speak a word of spanish and that he was born and raised in the USA. Minutes into the conversation, he then said he was looking for a wife to take back to Venezuela in 2 months and asked if I was ready to go with him! Of course, we no longer speak.

Why not? He sounds like a catch.

She sounds perfect.

I once told a guy I didn't like wine and he believed he could pick one that I would like. He said I would insult him if I didn't drink it because it can make a man appear to have made a bad choice.

I wasn't trying to hurt his feelings so I suggested he drink his wine and we switch glasses but I was unrefined and didn't understand these things. If I wasn't so young and immature I may have handled it differently but I was unrefined and a bit irritated.

I poured my wine into his glass and asked the waitress to give him the check.

I'm lucky he didn't leave me there. We went out a few more times and it was fun while it lasted.

Another one, though this one is a bit sad and upset me for quite a while.

I met a girl at an art exhibit I was a part of. There was a party on the opening night and we got talking to each other. At the end of the night we were the last two out the doors and she asked if I wanted to go for a drink. We found a nice pub and chatted away late into the night then swapped numbers and gave each other a hug.

A week later I was asked by another group I was a part of to buy some plants for a roof garden. They gave me the company credit card and said "go buy what you like". I thought an all expenses paid shopping trip could be a fun day out, so I contacted this girl and asked if she wanted to come help me pick things, but there was no response.

The garden renovations got set back for one reason or another so I never went shopping, which was fortunate because later that week the girl got back in touch, apologizing for not responding and saying that she'd like to meet up again. I told her that I hadn't done the shopping trip yet, so if she still wanted to come she was welcome. She gave no response.

I sent her another message a week later saying that I was trying to invite her out, but was starting to get frustrated with it and that if she would like to meet up she should try inviting me out instead. No response... at least not for another week when she called me up out of the blue late at night and asked if I wanted to come out for a drink. It was really late, but I thought what the hell, jumped in a taxi and met her in this bar. We had a really great night, got a bit drink, laughed and had a dance together. Then we parted ways.

The next week I invited her out to a gig. No response... till again she rang me really late and said "lets go to this gig, sounds like fun". I called her up and said that it was too late, the gig had already ended. She asked to still go out anyway, but I was tired and sort of settled so I arranged to do it another night, setting a date for the next weekend. We ended up chatting on the phone for hours though, till finally saying goodnight to each other around 3.00 in the morning.

The weekend of our date came around and I contacted her, asking if she was still up for it. No response. I send another message asking what was going on and that we had plans. No response. I went to bed that night feeling jilted.

The next day I get a message from this girl and it was quite hostile. She accused me of harassing her and been to pushy, then explained that she couldn't come out because she was with "Adam". I ask who this Adam guy is and she replies: "He's my husband."

Wa wa wa...

We went to the restaurant, which was fine in itself. Over appetizers we had some casual 'get to know you' conversation. Except, I think he took that way too far - as he didn't shut up for what seemed like an hour.

I zoned in and out of what he was saying (because he talked so much) but I remember him telling me how he used to be a big football star, won many awards but it didn't turn into him being 'drafted' and his feelings were hurt which led to a story about how he met some girl who he 'impregnated', his mom and him bought a bunch of things for the baby but she was kind of crazy and about six or seven months in told him she had never been pregnant. And it was just a lot to take in on a first date.

Someone he knew walked pass, and said "Hey" to him in passing and he made this huge commotion about "Oh my gosh....I know that guy....he knows me.....ughhhh.....I hate it when people know me.....oh my gosh..." By the time he made this big scene the person had long gone and I was just sitting there like

.

Then, mid-conversation, he started ducking down in the seat and saying "Oh my gosh that guy over there knows me too!" And I asked him was he running from the law or something because he was being a bit dramatic. (he said no).

THEN, he took a phone call in the middle of the date, at the table. It was a cousin of his and they talked and he invited her to join us on the date.

Thankfully, she had enough class to ask if I, his date, minded but by this point I was over it and was like, sure, come on. So she joins us at the restaurant and we have to move tables and everything because we were at a two person table. Those two start talking about everyday things and I just sit quietly and eat my food. Then, they decide to order drinks (i declined to join them) and start comparing which hard liquor they like over the other. They had shots of vodka and I just sat there like

They started making plans to go out to the club that night after our "date" and asked if I wanted to join (i did not).

Finally, we all left and they decided to meet up later. The guy and I went back to his place. He sits down and sets up a video game system to play football....of which I told him I had no interest in doing. I had sat down first and he chose to sit on a different couch and told ME to come sit with HIM, of which I also declined because I was so over this and it was just dumb.

So, finally, he puts in a movie for us to watch and literally before the opening scene the guy is asleep. I waited for like twenty minutes to see if he'd wake up and 'catch' himself - he did not. So I quietly grabbed my keys and left. He didn't wake up until the next morning when I got a text from him. Needless to say - I stopped talking to him after that date and he expressed confusion as to why.
