Yahoo Lifestyle 18 Dates Who Had The Potential To Do Something Lovely But Did The Complete Opposite Instead
We wrote a post about the most brutal dates men and women have ever been on in their lives.
There were a ton of gross and unbelievable experiences, which unfortunately inspired our BuzzFeed Community to share some of their own worst date stories.
So, here are some of the most baffling dates people have ever, ever, EVER been on:

1."A guy picked me up on his motorcycle to take me back to his place. He pulled up to a shed by the house so I could get off, and he could store the bike, right? Wrong. The shed was his room (this could already be a horror story, but we’re talking worst date — not near-death experience). He invited me in where there was only one place to sit: a recliner, which he sat in. The only other place to sit was his lap, which he alerted me to. I chose a crate instead. He shared his airplane bottle of mouthwash-flavored vodka with me and, within maybe 15 minutes, said I looked like I wanted him to kiss me."
"What I wanted was to pee, so he took me to the house on the property (which was his mom’s). She was watching TV on the couch, and when I came out of the bathroom, he ushered me from the couch to sit and chat with his mom.
Shortly after that, I used our initial agreement to request a ride back home. The next day, I texted something about feeling we were incompatible and wishing him well. He said, 'Your loss.'"
2."I went on a second date with this guy. The first one was just a quick lunch, but the second date was an evening movie. After the movie, we went to his car (I had driven separately). We started kissing and maybe three minutes later, he asked, 'Do you want me to put it in?' I was initially confused by the question since it was so out of nowhere. When I realized what he meant, I said 'no.' Then he asked for a blowjob instead. When I said 'no,' he said, 'Okay, how about just a handjob then?' I said 'no' again, of course. He then said, 'Okay, well, I’m going to have to go home and finish this myself. I have it down to 10 minutes.' I promptly got out of the car and was so glad I drove separately! The next morning he had the nerve to text me and ask me out again?! What an idiot."
3."I went on a first (and last) evening date years ago. I wore a long black summer dress, and as he and I walked along the Seaport District in Boston, the sun had set. The sky became dark, and the street lights were spaced apart. As we walked through a dark little stretch, he casually said that if he pushed me into the water, no one would notice. When he asked to see me again, there was no second-guessing that hard 'no.'"
4."Earlier this year, I went on a date with a guy I met on Bumble. We met at a coffee shop and had a nice time, and then he casually mentioned he had a kid who was a little over a year old. I was 23 then, so I felt like I was too young to play stepmom. So, at the end of the date, I politely told him that although I had a great time, I didn’t see us going anywhere. Honestly, going in, I wasn’t 100% sure I was interested in seeing him again anyway, so his statement sealed the deal. He told me that if I’m concerned about his kid, I shouldn’t be worried because he lives out of state with his mom, and he hardly sees him, so I’ll never have to 'deal with him' (yes, those were his exact words)."
"Keep in mind during the date, he talked about all of these amazing international trips he’s been on, so he definitely had the time and money to see his kid.
This was my third date ever in my life, so I didn’t know how to react to that. I believe I said, 'Uh…okay,' and just awkwardly scurried to my car (and blocked him on Bumble 😂)."
5."It was a first date from a dating app. He met me at the front of the agreed-to restaurant, saying that he was inside and saw a coworker and wanted to switch to a different restaurant because he didn’t want them to know he was online dating. I agreed to move it to a different restaurant a couple of blocks down. This ass had the nerve to ask if he could 'do a lap' around the restaurant first before we sat down to see if he knew anyone. I should’ve ended the date there, but I let him do his lap, and 'the coast was clear.'"
"We sat and had one drink. He was awkward — it wasn’t going to work.
I politely told him so as I stood up to go. I laid down $10 for the drink. He got so mad, yelling and following me out to the parking lot, saying, 'You ruined my weekend! This is my only day off!' He screamed at me. I got into my car as quickly as I could and left."
6."Some weeks ago, a guy I was talking to on Instagram invited me to have a drink. It was pretty boring, and all I wanted was to leave and watch a movie on my sofa, but the absolute worst part was when he told me (in a good mood) that he accidentally KILLED HIS CAT. He told me that like it was funny. When he was about to return from vacation with his family, he was putting away his belongings in a trunk and his cat got in when he wasn't looking. Fast forward some months, he opened the trunk and found his cat's skeleton, and he recognized him because of the collar. He was pretty amused when he told me this..."
7."The horrible first date that’s on my mind today: He took me to a cigar bar, then he got mad at me for smoking a cigar because it was 'unladylike.' Mind you, he met me at a barbecue where I got insanely drunk on moonshine and wrestled with the biggest dude there. He already knew I was 'unladylike.'"
8."I coincidentally went on a date with a woman who worked in the same field as me. She knew of my boss and went on and on about how hot she was. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I worked for my mom's company, meaning my date was actually talking about how hot my MOM was for the entire date."
9."We met at a restaurant, and she brought a friend with her who proceeded to sit and watch us from a couple of tables away. The whole time I tried to make small talk with this woman, but her friend was watching us like she was some secret service agent protecting the president. We finished the meal and payment and I just shook her hand and said 'thanks.' I walked to the exit and said 'bye' to her friend. A month later, I get a text from the girl apologizing and asking if I wanted to go out again. Negative."
10."Once, this date explicitly told me after I ordered my first drink that he wouldn't pay for my drinks unless I went home and slept with him after. I didn't drink any of my drink, immediately went to the bathroom, and I had to pass him on the way out, so I went up to him and told him I was leaving. He then proceeded to try to walk me to my car..."
11."We had met through Craigslist and subsequently spoke a few times on the telephone. I thought that I was honest about my looks and personality, which I objectively think are a 'seven.' I arrived at the restaurant first and ordered a beer. This class act (who hardly is 'model material') literally took one look at me, said 'nope,' put some money on the table, and walked out. Because the thrown money would not cover my beer, I had to wait to get checked out by the server, who had witnessed all this. I called my date furious when I got home. I got as far as saying something like how dare you when the real bad guy in all this starts yelling at me for having the audacity to call! I hung up."
12."When I was living overseas, I had a guy follow me home despite me making it clear that I was not vibing with him on the date. I was living alone in a pretty rural location, and so I was like, okay, maybe he just wants to be nice and check I'm getting home safe. But nope, once I got home, he then invited himself inside and started groping me. It was really late and dark, but luckily, I knew a friend of mine was staying up until 5 a.m. to watch a sports match live, so I got them to rescue me and stayed with them for the night."
"I learned not to give dudes 'the benefit of the doubt' (I'm sure many guys would just walk you home, but I am never taking that risk again).
And if men want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the guys like the date who scared the shit out of me. And always end the date in a public setting if someone isn't vibing with you."
13."Back in the day, I went on a first date with some dude I met at the YMCA playing racket ball. We went to a surf and turf place at the beach, and he said to order whatever I wanted! He was ordering drinks, a steak and lobster dinner, the works. So, the dude got up to use the bathroom and never came back!!! OMG, I was mortified and had to call my dad to come to pay the bill because it was well over $100. So, what did I learn, kids? Always carry cash or a card with you when you go out. And what happened to the jerk? My dad actually found him at the YMCA and got his money back."
14."My blind date showed up an hour and a half late on a Vespa, so we missed our dinner reservations and ate at McDonald's instead. After that we went to a weird bar in Brooklyn where I paid for his three strangely expensive drinks and a plate of chicken wings and watched him hit on every girl in the place. When he asked if I wanted to have sex in a bathroom stall, I took a cab home. That was a date from hell."
15."I had a guy ask me about my hopes and dreams, then proceeded to tell me how (and in great detail) I had to change all of them so that I could be in his life 🤮."
16."I had a guy say that #MeToo Movement wasn’t real, and he didn’t believe women were actually harassed and assaulted as often as people claim. He said he used to be 'motivated to support women,' but he’s never heard locker room talk, so he doesn’t think it’s a real thing. He said women are missing out on a lot of really great guys because they’re so over-sensitive and worried about assault, a thing that 'never happens.' He also said that lesbians make him mad because women trust them more, and they’re 'able to have sex on the first date.'"
17."At the end of the blind date, the guy insisted on walking me home. I insisted that we go our separate ways because I didn't want to lead him on. He decided to give me a hug. During the embrace, he gave me a wet, slobbery kiss. He then got a boner. Instead of hiding it like a true gentleman would, he decided to rub it all over my pelvic region. Needless to say, we did not go out on a second date."
18.And finally, "We matched on a dating app, and he kept messaging me persistently, but he seemed like a nice guy. So he picked me up and took me to a decent sushi place. The actual dinner went fine, aside from him being VERY nervous and visibly sweating. As he drove me home, he continually asked if he could come up to my room with me and literally professed his love for me. By the time we got to my building, I was ready to book it as fast as possible into the entrance door, which would lock behind me and he would be unable to enter without a key. This dude was literally screaming, 'I love you, please let me in!!!' as I politely but quickly went inside I blocked him immediately."
