Best/worst Date

[hicks]

I did a forum search and came up with nothing, so here goes.
Post your best and/or worst date and the details, try to keep it SFW, but this is the hot tub so follow the rules that this forum goes by.

My best date ever started badly, i missed the bus and ended up nearly half an hour late, however i phoned up my darling girlfriend and she sounded more amused than anything and said it'll all be fine. I finally meet her in town and we go for coffees (how masculine!) and just talk about everything and anything, all in all having a brilliant time and arranging for a second date almost right away and spending hours on the phone that night, result!

My worst date ever was with the same girl (i'm still with her now :)), my house is deserted, we're both getting frisky and all is well when we hear rather loud noises from next door, it turns out my next door neighbours had a similar idea and we could hear everything through our very thin walls, and to top it off and Jehovah's witness calls round trying to convert me, which while i'm trying to rid of him i neglect the oven and nearly burn our tea, not to mention my entire kitchen down. When all is well my girlfriend had to go! Bloody typical all of that for nothing!

I don't really go on dates but the closest approximations are this I guess.

The best was the first time I went out with this girl I was seeing about a year and a bit ago. I had tickets to a club night at one of the local gig venues for me and a friend, but the band we'd got the tickets for pulled out so I was left with these tickets with bands and DJs I'd never heard of. I figured I may as well use them so invited this girl I'd met when clubbing and apart from the fact that I was late to meet her (she wasn't very impressed) it went really damn well. Not only was at my best re: not being a totally stilted loser and getting on really well with the girl, but the club night turned out to be ace after a slow start. Erol Alkan was heading the bill and while I'd never heard of him before he played a blinder of a set that is still in my top 3, and fast became a firm favourite. The Priory in room 2 (local group of DJs, put on the best regular club nights in cambridge if you like house and techno, which I do. Alas, very few of my friends share that love). So yeah, lots of dancing and having fun and a few drinks and many many makeouts on the dancefloor, on the way back to mine and then not so much at mine because we were tired from the dancing and it was like 5am.

The worst is with the same girl about 2 weeks after that. We went to the cinema and she chose to see Inland Empire, the most recent David Lynch film. Not only is this not a good date movie, it isn't really a very good movie and it's like 3 and a half hours long and by the time it was over everything just felt hella awkward. Not a cool evening.

Worst without a doubt was when I was still confused about my sexuality and she scared me into blurting out that I would rather sleep with a guy than her. This of course came out slightly wrong and she slapped me before bursting into tears. The walk home was quite awkward.

Best and worst date would have to be the same one. Mainly because I don't generally date, so I only have one experience I could even call a 'date'. Thing is, it wasn't bad at all, but since you asked for best and worst I guess it has to qualify for both.

I spent an entire day hanging out with this girl I had just met the other day. I managed to get through hours without saying or doing a single thing wrong. Total record for me, since I usually blow it within minutes of meeting anyone of the female persuasion.

I don't mean that to be a one-sided egotistical demonstration of why it was the best. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it as much as I did. For that day, anyway...

[albie_123]

best and worst are both the same date

i went out with two girls, at the same time, at the same restaurant

i'm not kidding, guys

it was the most fun i've ever had, even if it did end up in me getting slapped twice

damn it was good

thankyou, t3-x, for giving me the idea

[gembird]

Best date I ever had was with my ex, it was my second date with him and also my second date ever. It was a couple of days after Valentine's Day last year (he asked me out on the 14th, bless) and we went out for dinner and then we saw Hot Fuzz. We both have the same warped sense of humour and really enjoyed the film- although when that guy fell on the model church he jumped out of his seat and ended up clinging to me like a limpet. We walked home chatting because we missed the last bus home and he walked me all the way to my door in halls. We had our first proper kiss, then he left without trying to jump on me :p and when we were with everyone else the next night we embarrassed everyone by being all soppy and bleurgh.

My worst date would probably be with this goth dude I know. We were friends for a bit and then all of a sudden someone else (my current boyfriend) asked me out. It wasn't that long since I'd broken up with my ex, so after a date with the new guy I wasn't sure what to do. The goth dude asked if our hanging-out day the next Saturday could be more like a date, and I said okay because hey, it's always worth a try. I felt really awkward because I didn't know if he was gonna act the same as usual or be different, and that day I realised that he was a bit needy. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't agree to take things any further, because literally two days later he got pissed and started declaring undying love, which freaked me out good and proper.

my worst date was when i was 15. the guy was 28 which was bad & wrong. it turned out he was more of a child than i. he met me in his pen0r extension car then took me to the fairground(?!?!) we went on one of those rides where everyone stands against the wall & it rotates really fast & he debated out loud the whole time about whether it was a good idea to try & spit on the people opposite or whether it would come back & hit him in the face. then i smooched him & it was nassty.

i also went on a double date where the other man ordered a ridiculously expensive seafood platter & then suggested we split the bill & we were far too polite to decline. but that is more a matter of politics.

my bestest date was probably having cocktails at the top of the mark, which is a bar on the 19th floor of one of the fancy hotels in san francisco. we couldnt see that far because there was a fog that night but there was a guy playing piano & the boy was saying wonderful things & everything was lovely.

or this february in paris with the new boy. we spent the morning walking around the paris local food markets (ramsay would be proud), buying pretty little cakes in boxes & cheeses & tiny tomatoes on vines & champagne & o course a check blanket. then we took it all to the gardens in front of the louvre & found the most secluded spot that we could in amongst the hedges. that whole day was perfect.

My worst date has to be last year when I was pretty stressed out with coursework and my dissertation but this really cute guy who was in the year above had come down to look around the photography degree show festival (he had studied photography) and I was all yayyy! Cos I'd fancied him for ages and it would be nice to have a break from working but when we finally met up (he was late as he'd got chatting with some tutors) he couldn't look me in the eye, downed his drink (we ended up going to Wetherspoons as where we were going to go to was shut, ergh), spoke at 200mph to me (I couldn't get a word in edgeways) so I didn't really know what he was saying, then rushed off again with the excuse of he wanted to go and see some more exhibits. In the end I was just left sat there by myself going "Whaaaaaaa-?"

[ynnekkenny]

my best date was when this girl booked us flights to Oslo for the weekend, the week before Christmas , it was awesome and Oslo was nice too, we've been together for 18 months and we've been living together for over a year :)

[Roxsie]

I don't really go on dates, i've been out for a meal but by that point we were too far into being a couple for it to really count. Although each time it was pretty fantastic, he bought me steak :D

However in the start of my current relationship everytime we went somewhere it felt like a date with all attendent nerves etc even though we'd been friends for ages.

Best has to be bonfire night, we just went for a nighttime stroll around aber and watched the fireworks while sitting on the castle ruins and then i got cold so he gave me his jacket to wear on top of my hoody and put his arms around me and we just continued to watch the people on the beach set off fireworks.

I don't know if i've had a worst so far unless other circumstances can be included, it wasn't a bad date but it was a really bad time for me and that coloured it a lot.

[Smartie]

The best date:
Had an extended lie in, followed by sexy time, followed by an awesome bacon, hashbrowns and egg mega buttie, followed by hours wandering round a park in the glorious sun, looking at the waminals in the small animal zoo and eating ice-creams, followed by more sexy time and chinese for tea.
Probably as near to perfection as I could ever get.
*sigh*

This was today by the way ;)

[captain canuck]

...Just noticed my only previous date sounds (when abstracted to the overall theme) exactly like my most recent one. On the surface and at the time both were excellent but given that both young women basically turned on me shortly thereafter without explanation (and cut me off all communication methods) I can't exactly maintain the positive view of both.

I think the most recent one actually manages to trump the previous one in terms of being rather excellent at the time; but the earlier one went much more sour a lot sooner.

Oh well. At this rate Date #3 is due in another seven years. Hopefully it will be less of an eventual catastrophe.

[rachel ^_^]

best: the day after valentine's day, our 5 month anniversery. we went out for a meal and then back to mine and watched a movie then he sayed over(and we barely slept ahah)

worst: less than a month later, unfortunately, same guy came over to my house one evening, bit of sexytimes(which i considersomething only to be done for love) then straight after he decided to tell me he didn't love me anymore. men have GREAT timing.

[Dingbat]

My worst date - took a girl from work to the cinema. Instant mistake as when I met her at the bus station she was talking to a crazy homeless, which I didn't think much of 'til i found out that in all honesty she herself was absolutely batshit. She talked about only herself on the bus to the cinema - saying things that were blatant lies, I might add - then when we actually got into the cinema, shouted at the adverts.

Yes, she shouted at the adverts to make the other four people in the cinema laugh.

Needless to say this did not bode well and when it came to the end of the night, she then made things so much better by showing me some random text that said something like "Night night babe i love you xxx", then turned and said to me "My boyfriend. Reckon this one's getting a bit too clingy..."

wtf

[Gabber-Baby]

My worst ever date was just cringe worthy. It was when I was about 15 with this lad who was in a couple of my classes at school. He was year 10's most popular lad that all the girls fancied, their were always fights with the popular girls over him :p So when I, one of the outkasts bagged a date with him - it just went downhill from there.

I was in a club on one of the "under 17" nights (oh the shame) and I bumped into him, I obviously looked alot more nicer in the club from what he was to seeing - me in a gimpy, school blazer, pleated skirt and a tie - because he actually stopped to talk to me and commented on how nice I looked which just made me turn the colour of a beetroot and giggle. His name was Paul and I had fancied him for years, I was so nervous around him and had NEVER spoken to him before because I always thought he was out of my league. Anyway, we swapped numbers and got texting and arranged to meet at the cinema to watch Alfie a couple of nights later.

So many things went wrong that night - for a start my hair was a complete afro frizz ball and I just looked a right state. My mum drove me to the cinema and I remember crying in the car because I was so nervous!! I reluctantly walked into the cinema and he was on his phone so I awkwardly waited next to him for him to finish so I could say hi. He kissed me on the cheek and I felt like I could have thrown up with nerves, I then marched right ahead to go into the screen and he kind of, just followed obviously expecting to chat a bit first - god it was awful. Then throughout the film were just sex scenes which was uncomfortable. Then after the film, he did actually ask me out for some strange reason, and I said yes. We then went out for a month without actually meeting up during that time, I got all the whispering and the bitchiness when I got back to school. It just didnt work out so I got my friend to dump him and apparently he was quite upset. I wish I could go back in time and not be so fucking nervous and gay about it all. He was so fit! :D Even now when I see him, I think 'Phhwwooaar'. Even when I was going out with him and saw him in lessons, I rarely spoke to him because I was just so scared! A very embaressing and pathetic period of my teenage life that was.

[steffie]

the worst date i ever had was with some guy i met when i was working back in birmingham. he took me for dinner (which was crap and i hardly touched), but he hardly spoke to me during the meal, and i tried to make polite conversation as he stared intently at my cleavage. we then to the cinema. i forget now what the film was, because i was very distracted by the fact that he kept trying to feel me up. no matter how often i told him to stop, or tried to discreetly move his hand off my boobs, he didn't give up. i eventually made some excuse about needing the loo, and took my handbag with me. as it was summertime i didn't have a coat with me so it didn't look too suspicious, and i just went home. i still wonder how long it took him to realise that i'd left...

as for my best date...i'm pretty sure it's been mentioned already ;)

[albie_123]

congratulations, you are spineless enough to not just tell a guy you left and instead were a dick

nice one

10/10 in my book, i'm dead serious

my mate got dumped mid-blowjob. if theres a way i want to be dumped. thats it.

worst date, went up town with a lass, got into a club, spent about 20 minutes in there before she went outside to "use her mobile"
i didn't see her again

Albie, sometimes I can't tell if you're being an arse or not, so I'll assume you aren't.
If some letcherous bastard kept touching me up and wouldn't stop when I asked them, I'd walk out on them too. They've clearly got issues, and telling them you were leaving might have given them opportunity to follow you and for things to get even worse.

[albie_123]

dude i was totally going 'nice one' as in 'damn that is awesome you are such a dick, hi fives all round'

sorry if i went about it the wrong way i will not do it again

:(

[steffie]

put it this way, albie, if someone was coming onto you, and wouldn't take no for an answer, would you stick around to try to reason with them? there were only so many ways that i could say 'get your hands off my boobs now' without resorting to physical violence, so instead i just walked away. it probably didn't come across in my post, but i was actually really freaked out, because i thought that if he won't listen to me telling him to stop groping me, then how likely is he to stop if he wants to go further?

if me being scared that my date could well have ended up with me being raped makes me a dick, then fine, i'm a dick.

[Pinky`]

I dont really have a best date, mainly because i've never been on a date with someone i really like. All of them were with guys with whom i had kissed at parties, so they were drunk enough to think even my grandmother was beautiful. Set up a date at the same party, and then first eat and then a movie.

My last date was absolutely the worst. I got to know him over MSN. A friend of mine thought we would be perfect for each other. all was well over MSN, we talked a lot about the same things, we had the same type of humor and so on...

Then we set up a date, we met up at the train station. I had never even seen a picture of him, so i said i'd put on my oh-so-pretty cowboyhat on so he could recognise me. he came up to me, i thought the guy was going to ask me for directions or something. But then he introduced himself. I was freaked. The guy looked about 10 years older than me, was starting to get bald, and extremely fat. Okay, i thought to myself, I liked him on MSN, maybe he's the same irl. Then we went to the afternoon showing of the Dark Knight, and after that we went out to eat. Guess where he wanted to go...

MacDonald's... I tried to talk him out of it, in my oh so diplomatic manner, he started to say that we could go eat pizza, but thenhe said he wanted to go to MacD's anyway. And I had to pay for everything for myself.

I had quit smoking for about a month that day, and after this enormously bad date, i just HAD to have a smoke. I went to a smoking friend's house, which was not too far from the station, and 4 smokes later, i went home. I felt terrible for not speaking my mind that afternoon/evening.

After those 4 smokes i stopped again, fortunately :)

Worst. Date. Ever.

Best date would either be the first date I had with my current mister or another one with him that was the day before my birthday.
I met him on facebook (which I know is cheesy as fuck) and we were friends for a month or two but I hadn't actually met him irl. He lives like 20 odd miles away so he drove down to the town I live in and I met him by the train station. I was absolutely bricking it but the minute we met we just clicked. We went to this quiet little bay and just chatted and went for a bit of a walk and had our first kiss standing on the beach (: Then we went to cardiff bay and went to the cinema to see Iron Man which was awesome. Especially as we had gallery seats so we had plenty of room to just cuddle all the way through (:

The other date was kind of his birthday present for me because we hadnt been together long and he didnt know what to buy me. He took me to his really quiet little tapas resturant in cardiff and it was just really good food, talked for hours and it was just really fun and relaxed (:

[Pinky`]

i want to have a best date. kind of like wigpat's... I have a slight idea with whom i would like to have that kind of date with, but unfortunately it's one of the few men in this world who wants to stay 'pure' :S really strange, especially because he is finnish. But so sweet and handsome and SO my type.

[Roxsie]

Got reminded of one of my favourite dates today.

Exactly 9 months ago we spent the evening rambling over aber and ended up in the Bay which is a club in aber. Somehow it was really empty and we found a sofa and just cuddled up drinking, talking and kissing until this guy interupted us and asked if nik was the guy from the JSB (band) to which nik said he was. This guy then tries to convince nik he'd be a great lead singer (now nik knew he'd been kicked out of his other band ADD for stealing money) but nik was polite and when he went to the bar we moved to the seats near the dancefloor where it's really dark and continued with what we were doing earlier until i was drunk enough to dance. A ska song came on and i taught nik to skank and then noticed a woman on the dancefloor wearing a flesh coloured top and the black lights had made her white bra show through it ;). Laughed and pointed it out to nik. When the bar closed we ended up in the small sea hut next to pier kissing and the same guy who had been bothering us earlier and his mates walked past and shouted at us to get a room.

After a while enjoying the sea and each others company we went back to niks where he put on some vinyl and we continued demolishing the bottle of vodka we'd started the night before :D
