Dating disaster stories

I met a bloke on an app. He was, and in some ways still is, one of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen. We talked for weeks before we arranged a meet-up at a jaunty coffee shop.

I arrived. He looked just like his pictures. I was overjoyed. But then he opened his mouth to speak, and the poor dear had, at most, four teeth in his entire skull.

He never posted a picture of himself with a toothy grin, so I never suspected. My heart shattered into a trillion pieces. I still haven’t fully recovered.

I’m not quite keen on the concept of a gum job, so it didn’t work out.
 
I once met a man on an app too, he seemed to good to be true but at the time I still believed in disney fairytales so after a few days of talking we arranged a date..

He was beautiful, we laughed, had food, had loads in common and even got a bit flirty… then his phone started vibrating face down on the table. We both ignored it, continued our conversation… it happened again.. and it was bugging me a bit.. on the third time I suggested he check who it was as it could be important or an emergency…he agreed.

He flipped it over for half a second, flipped it back and set it back down on the table…and said with utter nonchalance “it’s just my girlfriend.. she’ll give up in a minute” and carried on eating…

We’re married now and have three kids.

Lol jk
 
Don’t have many disaster stories, but I have one that stands out in my mind due to this guy having horrible hygiene. When I was in college(back in 2014) I was friends with this girl that insisted she knew this guy that I would be perfect for. She decided to set us up on a blind date. This guy and I texted for a couple weeks and then we decided to just meet at a restaurant. We met up at Applebees. He messaged me while I was waiting for him, he said that he just had gotten off of work(keep in mind he works in construction) and he was on his way. I asked him if he was going to stop at his house and take a shower before he came over, and of course I was more than willing to wait for him. He did not go home and take a shower. When he got to the restaurant his hands were really rough and very dirty, his clothes were dirty and he smelled like B.O. He was a very nice man, but we didn’t have much in common so I didn’t take him up on his offer of a second date.
 
Tbh @Kd. a man all hot and bothered from a hard days work is kinda hot to me 🤭

Zero on the lack of effort though!

There was this one guy too… my god he fought me tooth and nail to pay for dinner. I’m not usually one to allow that but after an argument about it I eventually conceded.. that he would pay this time, I’d pay next time.. cause sometimes you gotta let a man feel like he’s won the argument.

Anyways….after a lovely dinner..When the bill came… his brows shot up and he moaned how expensive every single thing was, very loudly- I was so embarrassed. I excused myself to go to the restroom, paid the bill and left.
 
Lol @MissMotive my best friend is also really into guys being all hot and dirty but it’s just something I can’t get into lol. 😆
I guess I was just expecting this guy to be wearing something at least a little nice and I was expecting him and I to have things in common but it just wasn’t happening lol.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

TOO EXPENSIVE <3 - Yes! Yes! Yes! He could have been joking. lol.
 
Oh. Somehow this reminds me. I scheduled a date with a guy once, and I showed up a bit early. (I was raised to believe if you’re early, you’re on time; if you’re on time, you’re late; if you’re late, you’re fired. Hard habit to break.)

As such, I was fine to wait around for a bit, but as the minutes inched closer to an hour, I finally reached out to ascertain where he might be, if he was okay or held up somewhere, etc.

“Oh, I thought the date was next week? Nevermind then. Good luck.”



Cool.

Sounds like you were, though. You ate all her snacks.

Went on a second date with this girl. Took her to a cool, hip "biker" bar in AZ on my motorcycle. Had a great time there, a few drinks, great band then headed to a restaurant prior to dropping her off at home. Good dinner, conversation, some flirting. Got back on the bike and dropped her off at home.

The next day we were talking about the date and the great band. I mention dinner and she was like....what dinner? I said at the restaurant we stopped at. She said we did NOT stop at any restaurant. Key Twilight Zone music.....I had to text her a pic of my bank transaction showing were were there the previous night. She totally blacked out. I knew she had a few but she was totally okay from my perspective. Apparently not.

Didn't go any furhter.
