Regale Us With Your Online Dating Site Adventures!

Come on, OP - get the thread started with one of your online dating site adventures! :cool:
 
This should be entertaining. The stories I hear from some of my friends. Yikes!
 
Gosh it's been a hot minute but even I have stories.
The guy who was a "warlock", the guy who went and picked off someone elses plate at a restaurant, the infamous baby powder incident of 2003.

You had me at warlock.
 
This.

My bff received several messages from a fella who was (thanks to a plastic surgeon) gradually turning into an elf.

Pointy ears and all.

As I read this sentence, I never expected an elf. Thanks for the early morning chuckle

Good lord. 😯

I had a guy tell me about “putting his dog down with his bare hands in his backyard” within the the first 30 min of meeting him.
 
Years ago I met a woman on a dating site. Seemed nice. 2-3 years older than me, but well spoken. Not really my physical type from her pics, but cute.

We went out for dinner. We were both the quiet type, so it of course started awkwardly but we kind of found a groove. Felt like things were going ok.

But then details that hadn't come out in our messages started to emerge. Divorced. Ex husband is an ex con. Has a kid (which seemed like a big thing to leave out). Doesn't have a job. By the end of the night, she was trying to get physical, which I wasn't entirely comfy with. But then she tells me she's allergic to latex, so standard condoms are out. Oh and she has herpes. And HPV. And her ex has hepatitis and she hasn't been tested yet.

The word "fleeing" best describes my course of action at that point.
 
The first kiss that went: peck, peck, peck, OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM EAT YOUR FACE!!!

So many bad kisses... I think her tongue went up my nose...

Yes! The bad kisses!! Lots of teeth clanging into my teeth! Ouch!
 
This makes me realize that I really have been married for a long time - I never used a dating app or did online dating. But I guess blind dates/setups were kind of similar. There were a couple those that were... yikes.
 
Oh lordy

Oh Lord. I have so many from this year alone, maybe I am just picky, but CHEESE AND RICE.


So, going back a few years ago when I was in uni. I had a few random dates from online and one from a guy who legit picked me up on the street.

I, like PLP probably should have been murdered 5 times as well.

THE UKRANIAN..Ermmm English enthusiast:

Went on a date with this introverted Ukranian guy. We went to a coffee shop on campus. He was nice in that he paid for the coffee and all, but it was like a legitimate interview. He was studying to be an engineer. He asked me no questions and EVEYTHING he ever wanted to do had to do with England.

Where do you want to travel? England.
What is your passion in life? I want to swim the english channel.
Favourite film? James Bond.

Please if you're familiar with England, go ahead and think of some of the questions I would have asked and then answer them as if you were him. Seriously. It was weird.

I mean...I remeber all of this because it was so bizarre. Even though this was a decade ago.

He didn't ask me a single question. He went on to message me a day later to say what a great date it was and how he wanted to go out again.

I did not respond...


THE PR...Fork Lift Driver:

Guy seemed decent. He said he worked in Public Relations. Had the same degree as I, had an opinion. Seemed cool.

Wow. So, we met at a bar for a drink. He had lied. He was a fork lift driver at home depot. Had an overbite. Was not 5'9 more like 5'6 (I'm 5'9). Talked about eating expired grocery store food. Going to the gun range (which in Canada is a little weird tbh, not liek the US) and all around had issues. We spent 6 hours out with him talking. He complained when the bill came saying how expensive it was. He was drunk. I was not. I paid the $80.00 bill and ran to grab a cab. He came out after me, yelling at me. Saying he didn't understand why I wouldn't let him drive me home (he was DRUNK) and that I was a "Stupid fucking whore".

Great night. Hand clap.

THE DRC:

One day in my 2nd year of Uni I was walking home. Minding my own BIDNESS. Had my headphones on, not a care in the world when this guy stopped me on the street and asked for directions. I gave them to him, and asked me if I was attending uni and I said I was. He was in International Development and I was in Poli Sci. He seemed harmless, but wanted my uni email account and said maybe we can chat sometime. I was oblivious and was like...yeah sure. Whatevs.

Anyway, I guess the guy emailed me right away because when I got home he wanted to meet up for a coffee to chat. A few days later we did. This guy was older than me. And at the time I didn't realize how much older, but he was significantly older. I was 19 and he was probably around 35 or closer to 40. He was an international student from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I thought we were going to go to the Second Cup on campus. Nahhhh that was too easy. We had to get in his BMW and drive 15 blocks to a Tim Hortons. He bought me coffee, and I thought we were going to talk about our education. OH BUDDY. I was wrong.

He wanted to talk to me about if I was single. I said I was single, but it was because I was going away to study abroad in my next year (which I did). He seemed oblivious to this. He told me that this was okay. LOL, GET THIS. He would let me go away for a year. Come back and then we could get married and have kids.
I was like..ERMMMMMMM. Keeping in mind, this was the first time we ever spoke. He had planned out my future. I then tried hard to curtail the conversation with some humor and lay down the law. I just said to him I was gay. I was attracted to women and didn't want to get married or have kids. He told me it was okay. It was a phase and that he would "show me" that it was just a phase. Note: I am not gay, but i just didn't know how else to get through his head i wasn't interested. He was really aggressive.

Needless to say, this was one of those times i needed to trust my gut and I didnt. I was still new to the city and didnt know where I was, because he had driven me far off campus. He drove me home, all the while rubbing the inside of my thighs and when I got out (i kept trying to push him away), he tried to kiss me. To which I ran and slammed the door in his face.

I ran into my apartment where my girl friends were and i lost my damn mind. I never cry and I was shaking and losing it.

All that to say, the next say he invited me by email to have a party with him and his friends. Yeah, i never responded. He followed up a few times and eventually gave up. I was like...yeah...party with me and his friends. Sure. :rolleyes:

The more recent ones aren't as bad, but sometimes I wonder what happened to men. Like....You're on a date, not out with YOUR DUDES. Fuckkkkk
