Poll about your former life
Who has some good horror stories from the dating years before you met DH/FI?
I just saw some wedding pictures and the groom reminded me of this guy who took me to his parents' house on the first date. It was July 4th and we were going to go to a pool party and then watch fireworks. He asked if he could run by his parents' house to grab something and they made us stay for dinner. Then he got into a child-like argument at the table with them in front of me. I made him take me home before the fireworks.

[QUOTE]I didn't date before H. Unless you count the stupid boy in 6th grade that took all my money at a dance we went to and spent it all on games and junk food. His mom made him pay me back and write me a letter saying he was sorry. Sometimes I wish I had good dating stories to tell.

That's actually a pretty good story.
Most of my dating horror stories are from high school. My friend was obsessed with becoming "popular." The summer befoe high school, she tried to make me read these Popularity Plus books and sign a contract that I would only date upper-classmen. No joke. (Don't worry, we didn't stay friends for long).
She decided that dating football players would make us popular, so she set me up with her boyfriend's friend on a double date.
We didn't hit it off at all. Oh, and he also took us to his parents' house. It looked like a trailer park meets Hoarders. It was frightening. I saw a pizza box move and it was because there was a mouse under it.
I told my friend to tell him that I couldn't see him anymore because my dad found out I went out with a senior and that I got in trouble. So homeboy tells friend he is going to CALL MY DAD and tell him that he's a nice Christian guy and bla bla bla. Holy hell. Now I'm really going to be grounded forever.
[QUOTE]So he looks over at me and tells me that he's really 29 (I was 16) didn't have license and had a warrant for his arrest, and that I should probably go before the cops got there so he didn't get in any more trouble for giving alcohol to a minor. So I crawled out the small window in the back of the truck, and walked a couple of miles into town to look for my friends. Every time my neck or back hurts, I still like to blame him lol.

OMG! There are no words.
I was friends with his little brother so when he saw me later that day and asked why I looked so sad I gave him the note. He brought it home and slipped it under Ex's bedroom door and ripped on him about it for weeks afterward.

And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

Well I have quite a few, but I've tried to block them from my memory.
I did date a guy who had a foot fetish (for a minute), he wanted me to put on high heels and walk all over him, especially his nether regions. Not for me TY.
Then I dated a guy, who lived with his mother, and one night on the phone she asked him a question, and he went off on her cussing her out and calling her all kinds of names. Yeah I didnt talk to him after that night.
Weird #1 - I spent an excruciating hour at a Starbuck's with 45 year old Mama's Boy. Yes, he still lived at home and he showed me I don't know HOW many pics of the nieces and nephews. Apparently they were a very close knit family. He was a nice man tho.
Weird #2 - I drove down to Greek Town to meet this one at a restaurant. /We met at the bar where he was greeted with a "Hey Norm" enthusiasm by the others and proceeded to drink several drinks in a row and chat among his friends. At dinner, he did everything in his power to turn me off, but the biggest turn off (besides the excessive drinking) was that I found out that he grew up in the same suburb of xH and knew him in high school. When it was time to leave, he then asked if I wanted to stay the night with him since he only lived a couple of blocks away. I declined and he dumped me with the parking valet and went back into the bar.
The worst part was that he was NEVER like this before. I was totally blindsided.
[QUOTE]Y'all have already heard abut the last x and his 6 years of mess. The guy before him was just plain dumb. i have no idea what was going through my mind. He wasn't even cute. I met him on Yahoo chat, and met him in person when I went home for the summer. It was a 2.5 hour drive to his house and I did that every week. He lived with his parents, quit technical school, and quit a job at Popeyes because they wanted him to work more than 20 hours a week. He was a big Insane Clown Posse fan. I paid for everything, including hotel rooms. He stole my baseball card collection that I started when I was 5. I broke up with him over Yahoo chat when I got back to college, telling him that he was a lazy bum and I wanted nothing to do with him since he wasn't going anywhere in life. He then proceeded to tell me that the reason I always paid was because he didn't want me to know he had illicit income from illegal arms trading. What a crock! I set him to ignore, laughed about that for days, and never spoke to him again. After Katrina demolished his home town, he sent out an email saying everyone was ok and where they were staying. I guess my email was still on his list, even though it was like 6 years later. As far as I could tell, he was still living with his parents. And his teeth were funky.

I think we've dated the same guy. I've had those WTF was I thinking dates too.
I went out on a date last weekend with a guy. He seemed really nice, sweet, whatever.
All of a sudden he said "Okay, I have something I need to tell you. I have a friend who lives in California who I'm technically married to. See, she was going to get deported if I didn't marry her and needed a green card."
I was kind of like, "Uhhhh."
[QUOTE]There was another guy who took me out on a date and was the same height as me. This was awkward because I didn't really think about his height and wore these UGLY clog heel things on our date that were about 4 inches tall. He was the level of my collar bone when he was going to kiss me.

This reminded me of a guy I dated in HS. He was really short. We went to a HS dance together and the whole time we were dancing he kept staring at my boobs because they were at eye level for him. I asked him to please stop staring at my boobs and he flipped out because what the hell else was he supposed to look at?

I went on a date with a guy in high school who took me to the movies and when we got there told me he didn't think he had enough money for our tickets. I handed him a twenty to cover mine, but it turned out he had enough cash. BUT HE DIDN'T GIVE ME MY TWENTY BACK. I finally had to ask him for it. We saw Enemy of the State, and he tried to put his arm around me and was denied. That movie seemed like the longest movie ever. It was just so awkward. I didn't even wait for his mom's minivan to stop moving before I jumped out when he took me home. I think he called me again but I pretended like I wasn't home.
Another guy called me a lesbian because I wouldn't go to a Third Eye Blind concert with him.

B, you should have just told him to close his eyes and lay his head on them.
[QUOTE]I am embarrassed to say that H and I started dating when we were 17. Before that I really only "dated" one other guy. He took me to see the SECOND lord of the rings as a first date even knowing I hadn't seen the first one.. and he didnt pay- high school stuff really. No biggie. I am pretty lame.
Posted by Starmusica[/QUOTE]
I'm kind of the same way. I really only had one other serious relationship before FI from the time I was 18-20. And I've been with FI from 20 until present.
I never "dated" so to speak. I just dated the two people who ended up becoming serious boyfriends.
Sometimes I wish I had any good stories, but at the same time I'm glad I don't have any horror stories. Works for me.

That would have been problematic. Our relationship ended because I didn't want to have sex with him and he told me if I didn't he was going to pull me behind the bushes and rape me.

I agree. I wish I had funny stories to tell, but at the same time I'm glad I didn't experience any of these horror stories. I told H he is never allowed to leave me because I am not going back into the dating world. My best friend goes through men like her life depends on it and all she does is bitch about how they don't treat her right and how she feels like a slut for sleeping with them all. Well, stop picking the losers and keep your damn legs closed, genius.

[QUOTE]Yeah, he didn't understand why I broke up with him after that. But don't worry, ladies, he got his. The next day a group of my guy friends brought him into the bathroom and beat the snot out of him.
