Creepy First Date Quotes/Questions So have you ever been on a first date where the other person said something REALLY weird?[More:] What are your favorites? Things like:

-How many dates do you think people should go on before they discuss marriage?
-So, are you pretty close to your cousins?
-What medications are you on? It seems like I'm always going to the pharmacy.



I was out with a fellow who felt the need to tell me that he broke up with his "ex-fiance" (this is when we were both about 18) because she was "psycho" and "the sex was really bad". Niiiice- why, what's that in my hands? My car keys? Gotta run, byeeeeeee.

I was on a date with a girl who started telling me about how she got her finger cut off by a lawnmower, and she revealed that her right ring finger was a FAKE, prosthetic finger, grafted on. And she pointed out how it was kind of crooked where it joined the flesh.

This was over dinner.

I think that would be totally awesome, agro. So some different tastes there.

About 10 minutes in she asks "so do you want to have more children?"

I also think that would be awesome, agro.

One of the most unusual first date stories I ever heard was from a friend whose date told her that he had to have sex every night between 11 and 11:30 pm, either with a partner, or solo, and he thought it was important she know that at the outset of the *relationship* because it wasn't negotiable. He allowed as how she might not be ready to have sex *yet* but hoped she would understand why any future dates would have to wrap up by 10:30 or so.

I don't know what weirded me out more - his prerequisites, or the fact that she ended up dating him for more than a year.

Wow, madamjujujive, that is quite a story!

agropyron - I knew a girl who's public story about her detached right ring finger was "lawnmower accident" whereas in reality, it involved her father and a wood axe.

madamjujujive: ROFL

dame & kenko: I was repelled and fascinated in equal parts. The girl was pretty weird overall though. My friend actually told me, "Uhh, you should know that if you date her, everyone is going to be freaked out."

porpoise: Whoa. Really??

Maybe it's the same girl.

Tara (?) something or the other, grew up in N. Vancouver, graduated HS mid/late 90's?
posted by porpoise 23 December | 22:46
Nope.. but perhaps related.

here's an awesome first date story.

...You were cute so I figured "watching JAG" was code for me coming over and snogging a bit on the sofa while some TV showed played in the background...

There was the guy who picked me up for our first date in a car with a backseat completely filled with cans. Not trash, not filth, just clean empty cans. I asked him if he was planning on recycling them and he just said, "no." He informed me several hours later that he occasionally collapses and then comes to several minutes later to find himself speaking in tongues. That was pretty weird.

Wedge, that is hilarious. Poor Taco Boy.

I'm pretty sure David Letterman is sending me secret first date questions with his eyebrows, but am still compiling the data.
posted by DeepFriedTwinkies 23 December | 23:22
Ok, it wasn't a date, really. I went to a bar, it was crowded, I sat next to this chick, we start talking.

She informs me that she's not wearing panties, takes my hand, put it on her knee.

OK, the weird thing was, the next morning, in her hotel room, she reminds me that she'd told me the night before, how much she loves to iron. And as I'm still waking up, she starts to do her ironing, in the nude.

One guy I dated told me he wished he could marry his sister because she was the only person who truly understood him. We broke up shortly thereafter.

My most unusual "date".I had been working late at the office and walked over to a nearby pub at about 11 PM. The temp was in the minus 20's. In the bar I saw a petite attractive blonde woman dressed far better than was usual for that place. She had three men talking with her but broke away and came and put her hands on my face and said "you're so cold!". She bought me a drink and rubbed my face. After a couple more drinks she started kissing me. She leaned into me and whispered "I'm staying at a hotel. My father died a few hours ago and I'm flying back to Ottawa in the morning. I don't want to be alone" That's a shitload of responsibility to find in a bar.

I once went on a date with a guy who was doing his psychiatric residency, and so of course had an MD. I mentioned that my father had recently had a heart attack and triple bypass surgery, and he proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions about my dad - how old is he, does he have diabetes, etc. I agreeably answered his questions and when he was done, he leaned back, crossed his arms, and said, "Your dad's a ticking time bomb. He'll be dead in 10 years, tops." Well fuck you very much, I don't remember asking, buddy.

I got a zillion of these stories as I'm the First Date King. Here are a few:

1. Drinking with a girl at The Green Room (all locations will be Toronto)--the place is packed--and she's really nervous. I say, "You okay? You seem kind of uncomfortable." and she says, "Yeah, I'm a little uncomfortable. What do you expect, it's a first date. How are you feeling?" and I reply, "I'm okay. Not uncomfortable." And she reaches across the table and puts her hand on mine and says, "I bet I could make you uncomfortable." I think I blushed. She got up from her chair, walked around to my side of the table, and climbed on my lap. She then proceeded to make out with my neck and sing along to Bob Dylan on the stereo (She Belongs to Me). I couldn't stop laughing. I think we were probably quite a sight.

2. At Insomnia. Date is going very well. Girl excuses herself to the can. 20 minutes pass. I'm wondering what the fuck is going on. She finally comes back and her mood is completely different. She seems upset. I ask if all is okay. She looks at me like the answer is obvious and says, "No! I have to go." And she does, and in such a way that it's clear she doesn't want me to follow her.

I finish my drink. I go home. There's a message on the machine from her: "I don't know what the hell your problem is but I waited in the bathroom for you for twenty minutes. No guy makes me wait to fuck. Don't call me again."

3. The old El Mo. Seeing Pony Da Look. Date's going fine... however, there's another girl there that I had a first date with about a week prior. That first date didn't go so well and I told the girl I didn't think we needed to see each other again. She agreed there was no chemistry. This date was going well, and the girl was very flirty and touchy. After the set, other girl comes up to me holding a drink. She says "Hi." I say, "Hi. What did you think?" (meaning of the band). She says, "I think you're a fucking asshole." and throws the drink in my face.

4. Going to see a movie at the Varsity in the middle of the day. Girl is obviously not wearing a bra. We get there and the time listed in NOW (newspaper) is wrong (surprise sur-fucking-prise). I suggest we get a bite to eat and catch a later show. Girl says she has a better idea and takes my hand and leads me to a back door exit from the theatre which is just like concrete fire steps, somewhat secluded. Girl pulls me close to her and says, "Don't look down."

"Um... okay."

"Which of my breasts is bigger?"

I knew the answer but she freaked me out so much that I said the wrong one on purpose. However, I said it kind of "you've got to be kidding me" like, so it was obvious I was wrong on purpose. She was pissed. We parted ways right then and there. I went to Flo's and had an omlette.

5. Insomnia again. Date's going well but I have an all day meeting starting at 8 the next morning. Date asks to come back to my place. I tell her it's not a good night for that because of the meeting. She says, "We'll be fast. You can quickly come on my face and then throw me out of your apartment. That's fine with me."

5b. I had someone else say the same thing except for the throwing out of the apartment part. She confessed that she was on her period and didn't want to offend me by denying me sex. WTF?

6. Some place in the beaches I will never return to. Girl gets REALLY drunk. She lives around the corner. I offer to walk her home. As we're walking down Queen (during jazz fest) she starts hiking up her skirt and literally climbing on top of me. I keep pushing her off and trying to laugh it off. She points down an alley and says, "Come on, fuck me in the dumpster." I refuse and take her home and get the hell out of there.

The Toronto singles scene is pretty fucked up.

lol, dobbs! I haven't been on a date in 15 years (that's how well it went - we're still on the date!), so I can't really contribute to the creepy goodness, but you guys have had some doozies.

I have one fuzzy memory from ancient history: this one young, good-looking, rich engineer, who unfortunately turned out to be a yawn personified. After the dinner, he wanted to show me his (very impressive) house... So I went, and he starts talking to me in this sort of stern, serious voice about The Future, and what I Should Do, and what He Wants... It was very strange and puzzling, but as far as I could tell, it seemed like he was listng his assets, outlining His Plan, and... trying to propose. On the first (and last) date.

Guy: "I haven't had sex in a year and I'M ABOUT DUE!" (with pointed stare)

Me: "That's nice...keep waiting."

What a thread! Back when I was still trying to find the magic with men, I answered a personal ad and agreed to meet this guy I'd only previously talked to over the phone. We met on the campus of a college that was between our two locales by about a half an hour drive each. It was a beautiful spring day, low 70's, sun's beaming, and he walks up completely dressed in black - long sleeves, long pants, black shoes, black hat, and announces that he doesn't like the sun, could we get out of it as soon as possible. I said sure and got back in my car and left.

Dobbs - women throwing themselves at you left and right. You must be really hot.
posted by Diva Despina 24 December | 09:43
Diva, no, actually. I'm pretty average looking (though an abundance of confidence and good shoes go a long way). Most of these women just have pre-formed opinions of me based on reputation and things they've read.
posted by dobbs 24 December | 10:11
warbaby - no but maybe I should have been wearing a garlic necklace. Or something.

Good shoes? Good shoes?! Come over here.. I have a question to ask you... (giggle)

What part of the body is the "dumpster"?
posted by matildaben 24 December | 12:11
Not technically a "first date" but in high school a guy kept bugging me to go out with me and one day he offered me a ride home. This huge car rolls up (I think it may have been an actual Rolls) and we sit in the back seat. We are just starting to make small talk when the wanna-be boyfriend screams at the driver to change the radio station, "I told you to change that fucking station, James!"

I was nonplussed at this rudeness (in light of the fact that he was trying to impress me with his suavity) and said something about the driver's feelings. Wanna-be smirks, "He's my father." As if that made it all right.

In my case, the liver. Not an appealing sex location, unless of course it's supermarket purchased.

Scarlet Johansen has a can. Jennifer Lopez has a dumpster.

Hope I'm not too late for this thread. I was on a date with a guy I met on the Internet back when I was living in Cali. I'm not too shy to mention that it was the booty call section of the dating website. Went to the local Souplantation because I wasn't feeling too well and he's a high school teacher and didn't want to make things fancy. I may or may not have given him a blowjob in his car. (It's been a while since I've had to think about that date.) He takes me back to my house (because he lives about an hour away, and as I get out of the car, I say, "Goodnight." He says, "Goodnight, I love you."

o.O!!!

P.S. We ended up dating for a month or two. ^_^

Things they've read. By this you mean your famous? (or at least, quite literally, noteworthy?)

Hmm...

Haven't had any weird date stories, sadly.
posted by delmoi 25 December | 00:08
delmoi, no. I just used to have an emailed "blog" or mailing list thingy which was relationship-related and had many subscribers.
posted by dobbs 25 December | 00:33
Ah yes! I just joined that list- does that mean I'm not going to get to hear fabulous stories like that in the future, dobbs?
