Worst (and funniest) date stories from the Over60 community
Dating can be a minefield – you never know what type of lad or lady you’ll meet. They could turn out to be “the one” or they could be someone that, how she would put it, you never ever want to see again in a million years. We asked you, the Over60 community, to share the funny, embarrassing or just plain bad dates you’ve been on – and you didn’t disappoint. Luckily, we can all have a laugh over these dating mishaps.
“One guy I met was 10 years older than what he had portrayed online and when I questioned why he lied, he said it was to get younger chicks. We were heading to a popular eating spot and he began to yell out to people walking in the opposite direction on the footpath asking them where they were going and what were they doing later. Was a very confusing 20-minute date.” – Chris Hall
“The worst date I have ever been on, was one I met on a dating site. We met up to have coffee at a busy cafe, but even there he tried to kiss me and allow his hands to roam. I said I was leaving and he tried force me to kiss him. I said no, but he wasn’t listening! I had the car door open and out jumps my Corgi cross Jack Russell who chased him back to his car. He yelled at me that he was a war veteran under psychiatry and that he could kill me and get off with it. What a scary date I had! I’m lucky my dog stepped in.” – Carol Ahilya Skabe
“I have met two men on a dating site. The first met me for coffee as he was going through town. That suited me just fine, but when I asked him what he had under his cap (which incidentally he never took off) I was asked was this a f***ing interrogation. I thought I would give him another try, thinking that he may have been nervous and met him 100ks down the road for lunch. After lunch he wanted to sit in his car. I wanted to sit outside. Anyway to cut a long story short and after he asked what sort of position I liked, I said goodbye, went to give him a brief kiss on the cheek, after all he did buy me lunch and he then quickly turned his face and I had the full impact of his tongue. It took me less time to get home than it did to get there. The second fellow reminded me of Eeyore and I couldn't handle a sad sack.” – Jill Waterhouse
“I went out with a man who put on such air and grace beforehand. Within a week of going out with him, his vulgar mouth showed itself, vile disgusting filth and he thought he was the ant’s pants. Gone now.” – Jude Griggs
“I registered once with a dating site, and got propositioned on three occasions by men wanting a relationship outside of their marriage! At least they were honest and up front about their adulterous inquiries. I took my name off the site pretty quickly!” – Linda Fitzgerald
“I was asked out for dinner and a movie. He asked which one I wanted to see, but he declined each suggestion and we ended up seeing the movie he wanted to see. At intermission, he excused himself to go get a drink and nibbles. He brought back one drink and offered me a sip and I got one scorched almond from the box. He drove me home after… no dinner. The next night, he phoned to tell me he was considering marrying me but because he hadn't enjoyed our date, he'd look elsewhere. IT WAS A FIRST DATE. It never even occurred to him that he wasn't the "prize" I was looking for either.” – Laurel Bailey
“There were a few... the worst was when the guy was a tad too aggressive when we went parking and he was determined to have his way. I said I needed to pee in order to get away from him, so he took my shoes in order to keep me from running. I ran, no shoes, Canberra Winter, heavy frost, all the way home! My mother was waiting with open arms and a warm bath.” – Philomena Lear
