When Bad Dates Happen to Other People

[JMG]

Sure, sure, you've had plenty of your own war stories.  What are some of the worst that you've heard from others?  Have a best friend who was stood up for three hours?  Whose date turned out to be sixty years older than the profile photos indicated?  Had a date end surrounded by alligators that hadn't eaten more than a few gnats in over a week?  We want to hear 'em!

I've got one!

A friend of mine was on a date with a guy, it went well, and he went to kiss her at the end of the night, she closed her eyes, leaned in, and he sneezed explosively into her face!  Ah, good times.

One of the stories I read today (red scarf girl) reminded me of a great one:

A guy friend of mine told the story - he was chatting online with a girl from a dating site. She said to meet her at a certain bar in town. She told him to 'wear something red so I can find you'. So he goes to the bar, he's sitting around for awhile, wearing something red, she hasn't shown up yet. Suddenly, he looks around and sees quite a few guys around him wearing red, just wandering around alone. He laughs to himself, thinking it was some cute little prank by a bunch of frat guys, probably laughing at him from a corner. He goes outside to leave and smokes a cigarette. He sees another guy wearing red, waiting outside.
He tries to explain the joke to him, but the guy just scowls and continues to wait anyway.

I thought it was pretty clever.
