Scary dates....

by Raja
10:03pm - 30th September, 2008


We've all had em, at some stage they started off as scary and later you recall them with a either laugh or a shudder.....

I could write a book about mine, but let's start the ball rolling guys and gals, age before beauty and all..... ;-)

I had a large number of scarey dates
with weirdos. The guys seem nice
on phone and email then when you
meet some they are opposite.

I once met up with a surgeon in
Leicester square and he was nothing
like the pic. When he saw me he
said your mine and his clamy hand
grabbed my hand and he said lets
walk. I asked him not to hold my
hand as it was quite tight and he
didnt :-/ want to, eventually he did
and we walked to Trafalgar square
and I was thinking of getting a way to
escape from him and then he got me
into a corner and tried to kiss me I
ducked under his arm and ran like
fuck.
Good old shaadi.com (NOT)

I think I remember that one Pravaah..... ;-)

Smiler matey, that was awful!!!!

Man, I remember this one time where a mate hooked up a blind date.

I was sat there in my car, waiting to pick her up, then suddenly saw her walking up to me.....immediately I recognised her from a party the previous year (not in a good way....) and as she walked up to the car, I thought oh shit, I knew I shouldnt have text flirted with a girl before meeting her....

I swear, never thought so many thoughts in my mind so quick;

Mind: "Just drive off...."
Conscience: "You cant, thats rude."

Mind: "She doesnt know what you look like dude, just drive off..."
Conscience: "Thats bad, I shouldnt do that to someone. Karma etc"

Conscience: "Oh shit this is really gonna happen.....I was just bein nice?! Im so sorry dude"

And as I switched the motor on, put the car in gear, was about to drive off.....she makes it to the car and jumps in.

What followed, was the most harrowing date ever. She switched accents from a typical southern accent, to what I can only describe as a Mumbai accent. How, why, I wondered and questioned, her only reply, "I find the Indian accent Sehk-see"......

After a painful conversation dominated by her love of wanting to get to know her roots (yep she did classic dance moves in a bar....the lot).

FINALLY one of the mates I texted from under the table on the quiet, phoned me with the EMERGENCY call; which is the fail safe mechanism for a dodgy date, text emergency to a mate, they call and tell you your family is in danger, something's happened, you need to get home etc.

You think the date was hard, imagine the goodnight kiss at the end of it.....

lol...thats funny!! I have used the
emergency call one before as well.
The guy said he was 5'11'' and I said
ok that's a good height me being 5'6''.
We met up outside the train station
and he was the same height and
nothing like the pic again. He had a
limp in his walk and when I looked
down he had a problem were one leg
was longer then the otherand one
heel was longer...bless him though.

But I still went for a drink with him
and he was one of those gangsta
style hand movements and
behaviour which just put me off him
completely. Then when the drink
came to the table he also had a
problem with putting the bottle on the
table he didnt know the distance
maybe he was dyspraxic as well.

Well I had to phone a friend to say
phone me and ask for me to come
see him quickly and went to the
ladies in the celler of the bar and
luckily got signal. He phone and I left
the guy saying my friend was in
Emergency and I gotta go!

Don't get me wrong I have also been
on dates with other guys. My friends
call me a serial dater..well I was....lol

But some of them took me to a
resturant in central London and one
paid for 2 course meal in covent
garden £70.00. I offered to pay half
and because I was into art and
design and did life drawing at uni he
requested the waiter to bring me a
pencil and paper and I sketched him
and gave it to him and we never met
up again

I know what you mean, dont worry lol. That limp rude boy story had me in stitches!!

Ive got the emergency thing down to a T now, TEXT. i have it on standby just in case the date's going wierd.

The 1 time though, I met a girl who turned out to a lil munchkin, as opposed to what she led me to believe ("oh iv done catwalk modelling"....for what? Armani Midgets?!) so i thought ok, lets see if the personality makes up for the height. We sat down in a restaurant, and as i made a joke she laughed so hard, she farted. But in the spirit of the day, i kinda overlooked.

It's when she started asking me dodgy questions (how many houses i own, how much do i earn, have i invested in anything) that i heard Kanye West singing in the background..."gold digga!" i kinda thought, "you dont lie about your height, fart & then ask these personal questions!?

Serial dating aint easy...

I met up with a guy once and he was
really nice but a bit of a girl in regards
to London being big and loads of
people around him which was funny
again he was from a place near
Coventry cant remember but we
went to a resturant he paid and then
to a night club he paid again and
baught me a rose then we were
heading upto Oxford street and he
stopped a rickshaw and she had a
kiss on the back.

We decided to meet up again the
next day and he came in his car
picked me up decided to go for a
proper Indian meal in a curry house
in the west end did it again. He was
dropping me off at the station and
trying to find a stop which I didnt
have to change line. He told me to
pull out a map book from his hand
compartment and I found Cocaine
and had a little kiss and said bye
bye...never met him again but he
was very funny in general but a bit
too soft was looking a real man ;-)

See thats cruel...it might've been his mates gear?! lol

See, I couldnt give a sympathy snog at the end of an unsuccesful date, thats like a lead on (I think?....)

Honesty hurts too. Once there was a girl who I realised half way into our date that I wasn't on it, so I thought "honesty is the best policy", so I told her how I thought we'd be better off as friends.

She basically spent the rest of the date in sucha strop, then finally when I dropped her off home, she put on a dramatic bollywood performance, "we can make this work!" i was already looking for the ejector seat but sadly my car didnt have one....

very funny. the coke ruined it for me

Thats what happened to me as well
once i met a guy once and the
camera always seems to lie for me.
Same thing again looks wise and we
didnt have much in common and
there were a few quite moments in
between. He told me he really liked
me and I was sitting thinking to
myself "Will I tell him no your not my
type?" as he said he wanted to take
me out for a meal. I decided to be
honest and told him that it was not
gonna lead anywhere and didnt want
to waste time going for a meal. But
he insisted I go with him. I said
ok...anything beats have to go and
cook at my flat so he baught me a
meal and tried to say lets meet up
again and I said I said its not gonna
work out.

Well we were both gonna go to the
same train station and we walked
together and up the stairs but we
were going on different trains, his
came before mine and he slipped a
piece of paper into my hand and said
not to open til the train doors closed
and train departed. I read it and he
was saying how he really liked me
and wanting to meet me again.

A month passed by and I deleted his
number when the train departed but
he had mine. He asked if I found
anyone I had to bulls**t to him and
said yes. He then called me back
again 3 months later asked the same
question it was like he was stalking
me and said yes Im still with the
same guy. Then he started talking
dirty on the phone to me and in the
end told him to stop calling me and
got it confirmed by a male friend
calling him as well.... I seem to be a
weirdo magnet :-/

That happens, some people are persistent, sometimes it pays off, sometimes it gets you nicked...?

My mates a model and he met a girl on Fbook, then he discovered the girl goes to his gym. They got chattin, exchanged numbers, but before they got a chance to date, he realised she was 2sandwiches short of a picnic. Hence, he explained he wasn't on it, but she became psycho to the next level! Started sending him dodgy naughty pix, followed him home from the gym, non stop phoning and texting. He just couldnt succesfully lock her off. He ended up getting her nicked eventually poor lad.

I remember hearing 1 of her voicemails on his phn. It was a strange mixture of twisted comedic desperation....

Do you ever notice when on a date,
they always say have you met
anyone else of the website? I
always get told that and end up
saying yep I have met loads of
weirdos? When it doesnt work out
then they must automatically say
they must have fell into the weirdo
category!

A male i met once was talking about
one of his dates saying that she was
very fair "don't know why they got
that in the site though" but when he
reached the bar he expected to be
able to see her instantly but he
couldnt until he looked into the corner
couldnt make out the face but just
saw these white teeth smiling at
him...lol

He is a bit of a bullshitter though

See thing is, if they said they met some really top people via sites, they come across as serial daters of the v promiscuous kind.....dont wanna appear that now on the 1st date would they lol! Hence, yep lots, but all wierdos....(much safer)

I have noticed that the hotter dates tend to down play their looks whilst vice versa for the others. Thats why blind dates, or pic based 1st dates always have potential to go so wroooong! (thought I know of 'some' really good successes...)

Thats what I do when I dont like a
guy who seems to like me but is a no
no! I play down and sit in a bad
posture, talk so casually as if they
are a just a friend including the odd
swear word.

I met up with a guy from a speed
dating event and he said to meet up
again at the history museum, 'not the
first kind of place I would have said
to go to' but met up with him. He said
I had saw the world now and am
looking someone to settle in with an
who likes to watch TV and a drink of
wine. I asked where have you been
and he said US and canada and I
was expecting more countries but
nope...I just laughed to myself and
when we were strolling in the musem
it got so boring him looking at art
which I was'nt into and thought to
myself this is the sort of place he
belongs to, so boring, ancient and no
fun at all, so we came out and he
said I dont think its gonna work out I
just smiled and said to myself thank
fuck this is were his ancestors must
be and said to him I feel the same.

Raja - I didn't think you'd get that. But yes, that is what I was inferring. Guilty as charged!
Not that being a weirdo is anything bad, you're just 'special' obviously lol.

Smiler - your post about the museum made me cringe. Just the other day I was telling a dear friend that he had got it wrong about Asian girls. Not all of them fail to appreciate Art and History. He's decided to go further afield and date English girls now...I guess sometimes the saying 'one man's rubbish is another man's gold' (or however the proverb goes) just holds true.
