I once went on a blind date with this cute girl a friend knew. We started with a movie, and everything went okay throughout. No complaints.

The real disaster actually happened as we were leaving the theater.
After the movie finished, as we were pulling out of the parking lot, the girl saw her father leaving the same movie…with a woman who definitely wasn’t her mother. This definitely ruined the night for her. The real disaster actually happened as we were leaving the theater.

I was in my freshman year. This guy took me to Wendy’s for a date because neither of us had that much money. He had one of those monotone voices and could drone on and on and on about nothing.

I once had a blind date who walked into the restaurant wearing a niqab, which is a type of veil worn by some Muslim women. However, she was not Muslim and had a different reason for wearing it.

I went on a date with a guy who seemed really sweet, and we had a nice, classy dinner at a restaurant. The food and atmosphere were both great, but things took a turn at the end of the main course when he pulled out his phone and started showing me pictures he had taken of his private parts. It was a very shocking surprise. I went on a date with a guy who seemed really sweet, and we had a nice, classy dinner at a restaurant.

It was a very shocking surprise. Like…different angles, lighting, and dynamic effects. I rode with him to the restaurant, so I had to sit next to him on the ride home and fight the urge to fling the door open and tuck ‘n roll. Like…different angles, lighting, and dynamic effects.

So, this goes on literally like all day. From like 3 pm until midnight or 1 am. Anytime I start taking too long in between text messages, she texts me random song lyrics from wildly different genres.

We greet and say hey and she tells me a little bit more about herself and over the next 10-20 minutes she takes me on a magical voyage of vapid, unrestrained blathering.

Eventually, dinner happens, and she takes like 35 minutes to eat like six freaking boneless wings. After she finishes, I make every effort possible to alert our waitress I am ready. This girl was great, she keyed in on me right away and knew I was patiently waiting (and looked like I was being stood up) and was very diligent about coming by and exchanging a quick chat with me while I nursed my beers.

The road wasn’t lit and there were no houses; nothing, just trees and darkness. We walked in silence since she wasn’t able to hold up her part of the conversation—she replied with one word or just remained silent. I should have turned around at this point, but I was trying to be open-minded when it came to dating. The road wasn’t lit and there were no houses; nothing, just trees and darkness.

When I see the house, my initial thought is: “This is where I’m going to die.” It’s just one lonely house in the middle of the forest. When I see the house, my initial thought is: “This is where I’m going to die.” But I get into the house, and I meet her father at the door, he doesn’t understand what I’m doing when I try to shake his hand. I don’t think Trinity has told him that she was going to have company over, and I guess they never have guests here.

We walked over to her bedroom, and this is where it gets really weird because her walls are black. On the wall, she has painted this Satanist symbol. The room is lit by candles and her bed has skulls on the bedpost. We walked over to her bedroom, and this is where it gets really weird because her walls are black.

There is nothing else in this room, and then she proceeds to sit on the floor and starts to ask me repeatedly: “What should we do?” I’m paralyzed by fear at this point, but I have to ask: “So you are a Satanist?”—“Yes, I worship the Devil.”—“Do you melt in sunlight?” I actually asked this, and she laughed.

Then her mother storms in and yells: “Stop screwing around, it’s time for dinner.” Then she asks me, “Do you eat goat?” I’m stunned. After what seems like an eternity, I replied that I’m fine.

But I’m here, with a Satanist in the middle of the forest and the family eats goat. That goat had to have been sacrificed in some sort of ritual to please the Devil.

I get a ride to the bus and on the way, she forces me to hold her hand in the car.

And the moment I leave the car the texts start piling up, with her telling me that “It feels like you love me.” When I was secured on the bus I replied: “You will never see me again.” I had to cut a lot of things out, for example, that she spent the entire evening talking about her ex-boyfriend; an alcoholic that never got dressed unless somebody told him to get dressed, and that got her number by stalking her for a month and so forth. It’s just the most bizarre thing I have ever been through.

Back in high school a buddy of mine decided to try to set me up with one of his many chick friends who didn’t have a date to homecoming.

Of course we went out got dinner and went to the dance and stuff, but that night was terrible from my perspective.

I was set up on a blind date with my roommate’s girlfriend’s roommate. It was actually a double-date, and we walked from their place to a Mexican restaurant nearby. On the way there, we saw my date’s ex drive by (they’d broken up fairly recently after a long relationship). She, apparently, was assured that we were all just going to dinner as friends and that this most definitely was not a date, so she vented about her ex several times over the course of the meal.

It wasn’t until I paid for her meal that she realized that it was, in fact, a date.

Somehow the conversation turned into major dislikes and turnoffs and she brought up how much she hated gaming. She went on a five-minute tirade on how games are the devil and those who sell them and enable children to play them are the problem with society.

Met for drinks. Awkward enough because I don't drink, but whatever. He went to the bar and came back with a pitcher of beer with a straw in it. He drank at least three of those. The last I saw, he was face down on the sidewalk, and the bouncer was trying to get him a cab.

I text this girl from PoF, and we seem to get along really well, I ask her out, scheduled for a few days later, and she accepts. We have a fairly lengthy time of texting, and we share our experiences on the site, I mention that I keep getting last-minute date cancellations, and she commiserates, saying that sucks.

I went on a date with this person who spent the entire date telling me, while we were in a crowded Mexican restaurant, first, how much he hated his wife but wouldn’t divorce her because he hated her so much that he didn’t want her to have anything he had, followed by the detailed story of her suicide.

I was on a second date with a guy I met on the Internet. Boring guy, fast car.
