Dating Horror Stories

The world is full of dating horror stories. As long as men date women, and women date men, this will most likely continue to be the case too. It doesn't matter how perfect a date can be planned, something can and often does go wrong. Sometimes it's just plain bad luck, but at other times it seems to be nothing more than total stupidity. Here are some dating horror stories found littered around the Internet. Names and places have been omitted to ensure privacy.

I like the one told by a girl who had been dating a guy for three months. He emailed and sent her texts and called her on the phone every day, usually many times every day in fact. Everything was going well, or at least, she thought it was after she spent a weekend with him at his place, leaving on the Sunday afternoon.

She had a busy time at work, so she didn't really notice that he hadn't called her until the Wednesday of that week. She was wondering if anything could be wrong when she received a text message that said, "I really love you." This surprised her a little bit as they weren't yet at that point in the relationship. Then she received another message that said, "Sorry, that text wasn't meant for you. I'm back with my ex now."

As the girl pointed out, how could anyone be so callous and stupid as to send such a hurtful message to the wrong person? And of course, what a way to discover that the relationship is off!

When things go wrong on a date it's a good idea to counter it with humour if possible. I like the story told by another girl who agreed to go out on a date with a good looking guy. He took her to a fancy restaurant, obviously trying to impress her. They were seated, had a drink, ordered the meal and waited for it to arrive.

Ten minutes later they were both enjoy an excellent meal when the guy looked across the table and said to the girl, pointing vaguely at a food item on her plate, "Are you going to eat that?" The girl counted silently to 10 to control her annoyance at him saying such a crass thing and replied, "Well, if it's between you and the broccoli, I'm going with the broccoli!"

People do get nervous on a date and sometimes do bizarre things to try and overcome their nervousness. I think my favourite dating horror story in this respect is about the guy who brought a sock puppet along to his date and spent the evening talking to the girl - through the puppet!

There are a multitude of dating horror stories from all over the world, but I think my number one personal favourite is the one told by a girl who dated a man who suggested they play a round of tennis. Thinking this a bit odd for a first date, she nevertheless went along with it. However, he then insisted that they have a meal first.

In the restaurant she ordered a salad, conscious of all the running around she expected to be doing soon. He ordered a huge hot chili dish. She watched him in amazement as he guzzled down the hot chili in record time and said it was time for tennis. Out on the court he was limbering up for the match when he suddenly keeled over clutching his stomach. She feared he was having a heart attack, when suddenly he started to break wind very loudly in copious quantities. The blast of chili-powered wind over, he straightened up and smiled saying, "OK, you ready to serve?"
