The worst date was: A date in the park, just a walk around the park and it was boiling hot, it was a very hot day and there was no shade, and every time I stopped to coool, he would just say" come on, loads more park to walk"

Competition - Date-worst !
Had to flag down an Ambulance and get my date to hospital as she had sort of passed out.Alas it was not my animal magnetism ! It turned out she was diabetic(...and not being medicated properly)and was lapsing into a diabetic coma ! Luckily the hospital sorted her out.

Best date was a second date with my now husband. He picked me up and we went to the supermarket. Bought loads of picnic food & wine. Went back to his and had a fabulous picnic in glorious sunshine. I was smitten by his easy-going style!

Best date was my first date through Dateline where I met my other half and 15 years later we're still together.

the worst date i have been on was with a friends brother . he didnt drive so i had to pick him up from a town 10 miles away . we went to this little pub , where he got very drunk and bought himself some tea!!! didnt even offer to buy me a drink .. by 9 o'clock i was so bored and fed up that i told him i was ill and dropped him off at home. it was a complete nightmare, he didnt have anything to talk about and was way too friendly the perv!!!!

My best date was with my current partner when he suprised me with a date on our very own boat down the canel with candle lit dinner...it was very romantic and great to get away after being poorly.

to a star trek convention! (that was the worst by the way!)

I went out on a date with a guy called Simon, he took me mcdonalds!!
12. By Carole Dorran on January 13, 2011

I finally got a date with the lad I'd fancied for weeks, but he turned out to be totally stupid...everything I asked him (in an effort to stimulate conversation), he replied with, 'I don't know really'. The only thing he did seem sure about was going out with me again but I couldn't face it...and never saw him again.
13. By Julie Davies on January 13, 2011

My birthday treat from my ex was to spend a weekend in Blackpool to watch the end of the "milk race" as he was a competitive cyclist. Needless to say, it wasn't my idea of a good time and he was soon dumped. Have never been out with a man who shaves his legs since !!
14. By wayne bisson on January 14, 2011

going to a scotish girls house in an england rubgy thinking nothing of it when i knocked on the door i got chased by her very big scotish dad shouting quiet alot of abuse needless to say the date was a no go
15. By nicola hawley on January 14, 2011

mine was a blind date set up by a friend, I met the bloke in a pub and it was awful to start with I am the glam type and the poor lad was a country bumpkin with his moleskin trousers and green checked shirt, all he could talk about was what time he had to get up for milking his cows, and all other smelly farmer stuff, then he accidentally spilt his drink on me (could have been intentional as I was not very nice), fortunately because of his milking the evening ended early. Lets say I have mellowed out a lot since then and am no where judgemental as what I was
16. By sarah on January 14, 2011

one guy took me to mcdonalds and made me pay for my own food, cheapskate!!
17. By Elizabeth Smith on January 14, 2011

Sometimes I feel like my life is just one awful date but the worst has to be when my 'date' brought his Mum along to our first date. When it came to ordering she chose his food for him (with no discussion) then tutted at me when I ordered chips and said I needed to take better care of myself. (Given I was size 8 and swam every morning I was left speechless) When things get bad I comfort myself by thinking about what our wedding would have been like with her in charge and all the ghastly family events with her as my mother-in-law - suddenly everything in my life seems so much better!
18. By Joanne Ogden on January 14, 2011

Best ever date was definatley with my then boyfriend / now husband. We were going to visit his parents and for the weekend and stay over with them. Would be nice but not a rock n' roll. They live up in Manchester so he picked me up and we set off up the motorway. But we turned off and began heading off to Manchester airport! The date was a 3 night break to Rome which was amazing! The parent visit had been a ruse they were in on and a way to get me to pack some overnight things! Best date ever we had a brilliant Time2
19. By Heather Williams on January 14, 2011

The worst date i have ever been on was when my date turned up late and blammed the traffic , we then was on your way to the restraunt when his car broke down and said he did not pass his MOT .

first date with this guy he gave me chocolates,flowers and told me he loved me,too much on a first date
don't you think
22. By claire woods on January 14, 2011

Best date was with my first boyfriend. We met through Dateline and met to a local veggie cafe called The Treehouse. We got on straight away. It all just seemed so magic. 15 years we're still together. We used to go on anniversary dates at the cafe where we met until it closed. Now we've even called our house The Treehouse. It was love at first sight.
23. By esther james on January 14, 2011

Worst Date- I met a guy online and agreed to travel some way to meet him for a date. We had never actually spoken on on the phone before meeting which in hindsight was a little stupid. When I met him we decided to go for a meal. There was absolutely no chemistry between us and I found him very boring. The conversation mainly centred around him telling me about his Crohns disease and the associated bowel related problems he had. He also told me that his chosen career was professional gambler. Needless to say I didn't see him again!
24. By Emma on January 14, 2011

My worse date was a blind date set up by my neighbour it was with a very smug Mercedes car salesman who borrowed the most expensive car from the showroom and tried to convince me he owned it!. I think he was used to doing this and the dates being impressed but I started asking him whether his name was actually on the log book or was it just a car from the garage on loan and he spluttered and ummed and ahhed and couldnt really answer me needless to say the date didnt go well and he never called me again - I think I had a lucky escape!!!.
25. By William Jackson on January 14, 2011

The girl everyone fancies agreed to a dinner date with me, that was when things went wrong. First of all she trippedup in the bar, throwing her glass of red wine over me. (In a brand new suit.). Halfway through the meal something stuck in her throat and she was sick all over the table. Offf she went to the Ladies Cloakroom where she assaulted the attendant and we were ejectede from the premises.
Needless to say the date was not repeated. This was way back in the early '50,s.
26. By suzzee langton on January 15, 2011

I once went on a date that consisted of going to the local airport and watching the planes take off and the planes land again for four solid hours.....EXCITING HUH?
27. By Gail Cartwright on January 15, 2011

the best date I've ever been on was just before Xmas. I'd been talking to a man on a dating site and got to the phone stage after only two emails. At 2pm he asked me to go to a Xmas ball with him, but the ball was this day,and he would have to pick me up at 3pm, due to the location! I had never met him and knew nothing about him! But I had the mad inclination to say yes! It was amazing! He looked like Daniel Craig in his tux, and the ball was in the theme of a French Moulin Rouge! There was stars in the ceiling, and girls in bikinis and Feather fans, there was a cabaret with dancers doing the can can and mime artists, there was champagne rooms, and a casino. There was a three course meal and then a disco where we danced all night, The whole night was amazing and he was a perfect gent, and I am still with him now and we see each other 3 times a week if not more, It's a date I'll NEVER forget!
28. By Mia Fergusson on January 15, 2011

I've only had the one boyfriend which happily turned out to be my one and only, 6 years on and we are still strong! So my best date, because i still laugh about it! Is when he had lit candles every were and anywhere and bought me gorgeous gifts, anyways we ended up having an amazing time until we realised our duvet was set alight! what a drama it was!! So my best date comes with a little advice - keep candles out of harms way because their VERY flammable LOL
29. By Dave Thomas on January 15, 2011

Worse date I've been on was when I was 12 years old, I went to meet this girl who had a horse, I tried to get close to the girl when the horse bit me, I kicked the horse, end of date no more to be seen!!
30. By mick proctor on January 15, 2011

I liked this girl for ages.I booked a nice restaurant and she turned up in dungarees!I insisted she go home and change but she never came back! Had a 3 course meal on my own.

worse date was walking around a country park for an hour and then he said i have to go
32. By sarah chow on January 15, 2011

to an indian wedding it was a second date and my date did not inform me it was an indian wedding where women should becovered from head to toe so we travelled from Norwich to Hertfordshire me in my LBD and heels.

When we got there you had to take your shoes off and put them in a cuby hole then I was given evil stares from everyone at the wsedding of whom I knew no one. Thedn because I had nothing to cover my head I had to use a bright orange square piece of rag.

I lasted 15mins which I am surprised at as if looks could kill I would of been dead a few times over. So I ran off and sat in the car for an hour and a half to make matters worse it raining while I was walking to the car so I got soaked and had to sit for the 2hour car journey home soaking wet

There was no 3rd date
33. By Pameh on January 15, 2011

In the 1980's arranged marriages were very common in the Asian community. My parents had arranged for me to meet a guy, but the only way we could go on a date was if we were chaperoned. So we arranged to meet in an Indian restaurant and he brought along his sister and I was accompanied by my brother. It was so embarrassing, we could barely talk to each other, and there were long uncomfortable silences. He ordered his favourite dishes and they must have been the spiciest in the restaurant as I almost choked each time I took a mouthful and my eyes watered. I kept gulping down glasses of water. We had to cut the date short because I had to keep rushing to the loo as I got an upset stomach. In case you're wondering, I did not end up marrying him and am now happily married with two lovely children.
34. By laura stewart on January 15, 2011

The worst date i went on (if you can call it a date) was a run along the cancal! Sounds nie but it was in heavy rain and mud! Lovely
35. By Melissa Sharpe on January 15, 2011

A couple of years ago I went out on a date with a bloke who called his Mum every five or ten minutes to let her know how things were going. At the end of the date - two thousand and one calls and text messages later - he rang her to come and pick him up. I had to get the bus.
And his age? 36
36. By K. Francis on January 15, 2011

My worst date would have to be going to the cinema to see Muriel's Wedding with the man who many years down the line is now my ex-husband. It started off very well and I was enjoying the film and didn't really think much of it when he said in my ear "just popping to the loo, I am not feeling brilliant". Then I was disturbed again a few minutes later by an usher who had come to get me. It turned out the clown had walked into a door and knocked himself out and they had called an ambulance. Not only did I not get to see the end of the film, but I had to spend the evening in the accident and emergency department.
37. By Christina on January 15, 2011

Worst date was been taken to McDonalds shocking I know.
38. By Susan Nisar on January 15, 2011

I went on a double date with a guy called Nigel, we went bowling...he didn't speak to me from the moment we picked him up till the moment we dropped him off!
39. By clifford allen on January 15, 2011

worst date is I turned up on a blind date and it turned out to be with my half sister talk about awakward
40. By Beverley on January 15, 2011

The worst date I ever went on was all my own fault. I had been trying for weeks to pull the bloke who worked in the local butcher's shop. I'd been going in, asking for advice on cuts of meat, buying this and that, even pretended to be fascinated as he held forth on which knives were best. I'd spent a fortune on various fancy cuts before he noticed me, and, seeing as I was a vegetarian at that time, my dog lived like a queen. Valentine's Day rolled around and I'd gone to so much effort - hairdressers, new dress, facials - you name it, I'd done it.

His rose and chocolates were well received and I played it cool, not letting hiim see I was weak at the knees. The pre-dinner drinks went like a charm - I was stunning, witty and entirely captivating. The restaurant was an expensive one, the table reserved, the champagne on ice - everything was going like a dream until he ordered for me. Of course, he had no idea I was a vegetarian, but after I threw up all over our Steak Tartares, I think he guessed. Dream date over in a flash!

my worst date was my first date when I was a teenager. I was so excited and couldn't sleep for days and he never turned up
43. By jonathan reed on January 15, 2011

First date was my best, only date really. My best friend became my girlfriend when i was 15, we went to a medieval festival in our home town and enjoyed the festivities. All capped off with an awkward but memorable kiss. 7 years later and we are soon to be married, a successful date i think.
44. By carol owen on January 15, 2011

best date? 6 months walking alone in new zealand with just the wind water and wildlife
45. By Martina Pichova on January 15, 2011

The most interesting one was with my partner I have now - when we went to a beginner scubadiving lesson. Didn't chat much but had fun...
46. By leila prowting on January 15, 2011

The worse datevalentine date i ever been was 5 years ago. i had to pay the full bill at the restaurant :0(
47. By John on January 15, 2011

best date didn't start as such -
I got dragged by a good friend to see the Bangles live. (They had annoyed their partner by drooling over Susanna Hoffs so much in the run up to the show they put them off going, so i was the replacement.) When I arrived she had started already started queueing and was chatting to the people around them in the queue, most notably a cute girl, who we stood and chatted to all gig, and afterwards waiting to get autographs we talked some more and she borrowed my sweatshirt as we all (about 20 or so) sat in the cold for a few hours.
Nearly 3 years on and its still going great, (still not that keen on the bangles though!).

The scary thing is my friend bought the last 2 tickets for the gig.
48. By YVONNE on January 15, 2011

The thought of going on a blind date filled me with horror. At the club, 'Terry' was waiting outside. He was tall, he was dark, but he was also incredibly hairy ! He had an enormous beard. It was so big and bushy that it almost obliterated his features, and I couldn't really see what he looked like. He also had a huge mop of frizzy hair he scared me to death. We said hello and then glanced away from each other. He spoke very quietly Lynn had told me he was shy. The whole night he wouldn't dance, or even speak to me. By the end of the night i was considering just walking out, which i eventuallly did, after i gave him the number for the local pizza delievery instead of my own...
49. By Julie Thomas on January 15, 2011

Worst date ever went to light up and singed my hair! Not a good start to our first and last date :o(
50. By Julie Booth on January 16, 2011

The worst date I have ever been on was a one night stand. I was 24 and we were having a fumble at my digs (nurses home) on the bed. I put my hand down his pants, and ......well.. lets just say, I must have had long nails or poor technique as the poor chap ended up in A&E with a torn John Thomas, and I refused to go with him as I worked there! I never saw him again......*blushes*
51. By Natalie Price on January 16, 2011

The worst date I went on was with a guy who only paid for his cinema ticket and not mine. Was lost for words!! I don't believe a man should pay for everything by any means but I thought he would have made an effort on the first date!! It goes without saying that I did not go on any more dates with him!! Oh and all he went on about for the whole date was the blumming supermarket that he worked at and how great it was!!!! Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!!
52. By Kristina Hutchinson on January 16, 2011

I met my date (who I had swapped numbers with the week earlier at a nightclub whilst rather the worse for wear) in my local pub. He was nothing like the charming adonis I remembered, he was very loud, had a very strange sense of humour and the dress sense worthy of a visit from the fashion police. The local was full of my friends and they took great pleasure in my discomfort whilst my date declared that I was his soul mate.... the longest evening of my life!
53. By joan on January 16, 2011

I've had lots of good dates, but the best was at the Hilton eating some lovely mediterranian food.
54. By Arabella on January 16, 2011

Early 20's (age, not decade!) and I was wearing a very tight skirt for a first date. Unbeknownst to me the young gentleman concerned owned something like a Morgan Kit Car which required my climbing over the sides to gain access. I could not hitch my skirt up so I had to be very ungraciously lifted in. Needless to say when the gig we were attending was over, I opted to go home with some friends we had bumped into and never saw him again.
55. By Helen G on January 16, 2011

I went on a date when I was younger, just to keep my mothers face straight, it was woeful, we had nothing in common and the silences were so akward. We actually went to see Blair Witch Project 2 at the cinema, that was never going to be a winning choice was it? To top it off on the drive home he blasted Bryan Adams' Greatest Hits.............................safe to say I never saw him again! :)
56. By Teresa Largent on January 16, 2011

The worst date I have ever been on was with a friend of mines brother he had a really flash car I drank far to much as I was nervous and the smell of the leather seats & the alchohol I was sick in the car . Funnily enough he didn't want to see me again I wonder why .
57. By John Smith on January 16, 2011

My Very Worst Date came after I had been sulking over my former fiancee for more than a year. I needed to get back in the dating field. I was still anxiety-ridden so I turned to online dating. I started chatting with a girl who was not what I was looking for but she wasn’t hideous and I agreed to meet up with her for lunch.

She asked me to meet her at her college cafeteria which was about 20 minutes away. She recognised me and introduced me to the guy who was with her, her ex-boyfriend. Weird… He leaves and I ask her what was good at the cafeteria. She says she has never eaten there. Weird again. So I grab a Nutri-grain bar and she refuses to eat. She acts as if she is put off by me and asks demeaning questions with a spiteful tone of voice. Keep in mind this girl is about five years younger than me and is about a 4 on a scale of 1-10. Not exactly a catch.

Our awkward conversation and even more awkward silence leads to her telling me how she is genetically superior to the other women in the surrounding communities. She says that her theory about why she is so much prettier and smarter than them is because they are all inbred. The theory is still suspicious. Especially when she is of below average looks and, judging from the school she goes to, below average intelligence.

She was silent for most of our date so I tried to make conversation. At one point I asked her a question, she gave me a short, vague answer so I gave my answer to the question. She then loudly blurted out that I talked too much and she wanted to talk about her. I had only been talking to fill the awkward silence she created.

She told me she had to go to class so she hastily took off. Her ex-boyfriend stood up to follow her. He had been sitting in the next booth, hidden behind a wall, listening to everything that was said. I looked down at my phone to see that she had blown me off 20 minutes before her class started. Confused doesn’t even begin to cover it…
58. By Debbie Oconnor on January 16, 2011

My date thought he was a kitchen diva and tried to impress me with his cooking...Starter was beautiful...dinner was how shall i put it..RAW..he had cooked a chicken and it was raw with blood and just raw..I ran to the toilet and wretched..I got my mate to text me and i took a taxi out of there rather quickly....telling my diva date that i had a family emergency... gross or what
59. By colette hendon on January 16, 2011

In the sixth form the class hunk rang me up and asked me out. I
had a great time but he was rather quiet. At the end of the evening
he said moodily, I thought I'd asked out your sister (we're identical twins), not you!
60. By alexandra ball on January 16, 2011

a man i'd liked for a while eventualy asked me out and i was excited. on the date we went to a local bar restaurant where he met up with his mates, left me sitting on my own, we didn't eat and when the place was closing, he went to walk out with his mates until one them reminded him i was still there.
61. By Jenny Barker on January 16, 2011

My friend went on a date to a nightclub with a bloke she had just met and asked me to come along say that loads of his mates would be their for me to pick from. when i arrived their was one mate and he is now my husband :0)xx
62. By Christopher Watt on January 16, 2011

Worst date i was on was many years ago when i was a shy 18 year old working awya from home. I was a trainee manager of a shop in Oldham and the girls that worked in the shop aksed me to go out with them and there was an "admirer" going to come along too. I got talking at the club to this admirer and to my suprise , I felt her rub her foot several times up the back of my leg. This certainly gave my confidence a boost! I relaxed more as she kept doing it and winking at me. I went to the bar to get her a drink and when I got back, to my disappointment she had vanished!!!!! I was very disappointed and wondered why she had made a hasty exit when things were going so well. I quickly realised when I got a strong smell of dog poo............. she was only wiping dog turd that she had stood in up my trouser legs, not getting fruity with me as I thought she was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
63. By Helen Hodson on January 16, 2011

Best date has been every one I've had with my wonderful husband... although one of our first dates we went in a restaurant which had TV's everywhere with the Golf on(!) I could hardly compete with it for his attention, lol!
64. By FARIDAH BROOKER on January 16, 2011

Worst date was a blind date a long time ago. It seemed to go on forever and I made my escape after dinner. We had nothing in common and it was very embarrassing.
65. By Tracey Poulter on January 16, 2011

Worst date: met in city centre one saturday lunchtime & he was supposed taking to a pub which was closed - so, instead of taking me to one of the 100 or so other available pubs, winebars etc he took me for a drive to s field near the local airport to watch the planes take off! To make matters worse in the hour or so we were there not one palne took off or landed - I couldn't wait to get home.
66. By Avril on January 16, 2011

I got taken to a YES concert - worst night of my life. I was there for over 3 hours and everytime I thought it was coming to an end there was a big drum roll and off they would go again. Aaaagh!!
67. By helen on January 16, 2011

worst were all the ones when we were both very very drunk and just sort of fell together, went out together, and then after a few months thought 'wtf are we doing together??'
68. By Rob on January 16, 2011

Worst date, she brought her friend along and they just sat chatting (I could not get a word in edgeways). I made my excuse to go to the loo but never returned.

Had a few drinks and then a romantic walk through a quiet snow covered historic part of town. Just clicked.
72. By JOAN on January 16, 2011

Worse date was a blind date when I was in my late teens, I only made up a foursome for the sake of my friend - ugh he was horrid. In my mid 20's I was persuaded to go on another blind date with another friend, again to make up a foursome - this one turned out ok - I MARRIED HIM and we are still married 37 years later - not bad going

I had never met Alexis* before in person, yet we had built up a close relationship through calling each other, texting and skyping. We decided to meet in a public location so we chose a train station. I told him I was going to be wearing my favourite fox hat - real fur, and he agreed he would wear his Borat style mankini over his jeans. We were both famished after our long days at work- myself being a toilet cleaner and Alexis being a manager for a well known business aka Cineworld, so we chose to visit the local bistro, McDonalds. After our cheese burgers we decided to go for a pint at the local, otherwise known as the Wacky Warehouse. I gradually got bored of Alexis and despised his conversation, repeatedly about his male grooming and went looking for something a bit more entertaining, and found the ball pit. After playing by myself for a while a attendant eventually asked me to leave, after there had been a few complaints from the parents of small children, and I ventured back into the bar to look for my date. I soon spotted him chatting to another man, and as I was walking over he climbed onto a table and started to strip naked! Just as he was about to remove his underwear, silk Calvin Klein I remember, he fell flat onto his face breaking his nose. In a pool of his own vomit he looked straight at me and said ‘next week again?’

I said no.

Worst date some time back,he took me to a big posh night out,when the after dinner speaker was on,I was sitting on his knee when he let out the loudest fart you could imagine,when I got up to storm out.he shouted,"Come back,darling,I 'll take the blame"..Well you could imagine my embarrassment.Needless to say,Mr Wonderful was given NO TIME to make his apology.

the best date i ever went on was to see goldie looking chain - doesn't sound very romantic but i have never laughed so much in my life, we just had so much fun. 5 years on and i'm still laughing and i'm happily married to the man who took me x
79. By Martyn Cook on January 17, 2011

Met a girl who said she would cook me a meal. Not too adventurous, chicken portion and baked potato. Chicken was off and the baked potato hard as a rock. Twenty years later we are still married, though needless to say; I do all the cooking.

Turned up to new girlfriends house to take her out for the evening, her mother answered the door in stockings, suspenders high heels and basque....my girlfriend had walked to the end of the road to wait for me and her mother was expecting a "friend" over as she had the house to herself for the night! I turned pale, the mother turned red and the girlfriend a funny shade of purple when I told her.
81. By julia briscoe on January 17, 2011

I am lucky enough to go on a best ever date once a month.
I have been married for 34 years and once a month no matter what
we make sure we go out just the two of us (where is not important)
But to we listen and talk to each other with no distractions
or interruptions it is always a real pleasure
After all TIME is the most precious thing we can give each other.
82. By ROYSTON PEPWORTH on January 17, 2011

I have to go back over fifty years.We had our first date and went to the cinema to see "GIGI" afterwards we went to chinese restaurant that had just opened and chinese food was very new to Britain. After nervously looking at the menu we ordered one course and was told politely that that was soup.We re-ordered and three years later we married and were married for almost fortyseven years until my wife died in 2009

my worst date was when we were out at a shoppig centre and i needed a number 2, so went for one, and ran out of loo paper, and had to pull my pants and trousers back up, go outside and ask my date to go into the ladies toilets and get me some paper,wrong on every level !!!!! i now have 2 kids with her, and lots of toilet roll!!
84. By Jullie Barber on January 19, 2011

My worst date was when a boy picked me up and gave me a flower which i was allergic to, we then proceded to a very romantic resterant where the waiter when serving the wine swished it around in our glasses, The wine flew out of the glass and on to my brand new cream dress. On the drive home the car broke down and the AA took 1 and a half hours to arrive. when i finally got home irann a bit too quickly up the stairs and broke my heel as well as my ankle,. I spent the rest of the night in A&E
85. By Jo Hewlett on January 19, 2011

The worst date I ever went on was when I was 21, I was in a long-term relationship with my boyfriend (at the time!). However, I felt the relationship was not working so decided that over dinner I would let him down gently, thinking he was bound to agree and we could 'just be friends'. It took me a while to pluck up the courage and after the main course I shared how I felt. Unfortunately, he was completely taken aback and practically broke down at the dinner table, he then threw up his dinner! Mmm.
86. By Hannah on January 19, 2011

The worst date ever was with a guy I'd been praying would ask me out for a year. He finally did and took me out to the low end restaurant where his mother worked. I didn't mind, I was just glad to be there on a date with him but his mother took an instant dislike to me. She insisted on serving us, forced me to get a salad because "I look like one of those girls who will stay fat after pregnancy", and put her fingers in my food to "check it". I finally snapped when she "accidentally" split my dessert all over my new dress and jokily said to my date "I don't think your mum likes me very much." At which point, I kid you not, my date stood up and slapped me for bad mouthing his mother. There were a lot of people in the restaurant and they were all watching so the manager came out and asked what had happened. I tearfully told him that my date had hit me and what his mother had done. His response was to kick me out and ban me from the establishment.
Turns out the manager was my date's Uncle, twin brother to his mother. I haven't dated anyone since.

I took a charming young lady on a cheeky date to the safari park. She thought I was a quirky rogue with an unconventional charm. A giraffe reached into the car and bit me on the skull. She realised I was just an idiot with a head large mammals like to gnaw on. I couldn’t have made too bad an impression though – she’s marrying me.

My best date was 36 years ago when I was 15. I arranged to meet this 14 year old girl at the local youth club and this year we are celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary. It might seem silly to some people btu we are still head over heels in love with each other.

July 31st 1968 A friend arranged a blind date with someone who she thought would teach me to drive for free (I had just finished college with no money and was going to have to cycle 5 miles to work). I reluctantly agreed but it was the best decision I ever made. I met my soul mate. We were engaged within weeks and have been happily married for over 40 years.
PS I never got to drive his car. I loved him to bits and did not want to do anything that would upset him!!!!!
96. By Tara Haffenden on January 22, 2011

Went on a first date with a really nice guy, we were in a restaurant and I made my excuses and went to the toilet to powder my nose! Walked back to the table, sat down. From that moment on I noticed a difference in my dates demeanor, he kept looking away and seemed to have a strange look on his face, to be honest I just thought he had wind! Anyway the date finished and I went into my bedroom to get ready for bed, looked down and noticed that my skirt was tucked in my knickers!!!!
97. By john bailey on January 22, 2011

My worst date was the time I had invited a new girl to the restaurant on a whim (she was a temp..me and my regular girl were not speaking). The new girl entered the restaurant. I followed and sat down. I followed. We were sitting in a nice corner but not so secluded as I discovered later. After the main course and after drinking wine I was becoming amorous but it happened during dessert.....I guess thats when my regular spotted me or had about just enough....she flicked her blingy ring that I had her bought her across the table and it landed in front of Nadine (the temp) who, by the way is from the Ukraine. I just shrugged and told Nadine that is was a good luck custom for girls to do that...and she seemed satisfied. Well I might lose girls with my philandering, but something tells me I wont lose that ring if I bring them here.

worst date was from an internet site - the online pics never really show the real person
100. By JV Farrell on January 22, 2011

My worst date was also my best date. I had a blind friend Mark who wanted to go out on a date with a girl Laura he’d been talking to on the phone (he was a telephonist for a bank). He asked me to go with him and make up a foursome as he had problems with getting around in new places, so I agreed to go on a blind date with another friend of his. We all met up in a bar. The date was a disaster for me.
I am sort of arty and sensitive, but my date was a chubby fascist banker. But cupid was definitely there somewhere, as Mark and Laura got married on Valentine’s day the following year.

my worst date had to be when i was invited out by a friend of a friend ,we had a lovely day out in the country, went back to his for a nice meal which he cooked, all was going well dvd in, glass of wine when he disapeared up stairs,two minutes later he came down in his boxer shorts and told me hed run a nice hot bath for me ,was he trying to tell me something or was he being prosumptious,ill never know ,i promptly told him to take me home which he did in his boxers and i never saw him again.

The best date was a romantic meal onboard a private jet...even if it was still on the ground x

My worst date was when my tall, dardk and handsome date didn't turn up!
108. By Tim Robson on January 24, 2011

She was famous. I was a no-body. I worked on constructing her stage set. The tour had come to the UK from Paris. She saw me and actually came over to talk to me: "Do you want to come for a drink, sometime?" she said shyly but probably knowing I'd say yes. She named a bar and a time. I went home showered and changed wanting to look good. I got there early. Ordered a drink and waited. And waited. And ordered another drink. And waited. Who was I? A nobody? why would she turn up?
I put my drink down to go. Humiliation. I left the bar and straight into my dream looking lost and flushed.
She pointed at her watch.
"I was here an hour ago - you were late."
I looked at her watch.
"Wind it on dear - we're in the uk now!"
109. By Erica Davis on January 25, 2011

Worst date: I was invited to Perth, Australia when I was 21yrs old by a family friend who was emigrating and I did not know he liked me. I went for a month all paid for by him, however, I found him to be dead from the neck up. Best date: The back of a morris minor with a bottle of brandy with my NOW HUSBAND of 23years :)
110. By Ann English on January 25, 2011

I will never know if it would have been the best or the worst as I was 'late for a very important date!'

111. By Helena Jane on January 26, 2011

My first date with my now fiance was both the worst and the best if that is possible. He wanted to take me out for a meal in his words to one of the top restaraunts in town "the golden arches". I thought fantastic wined and dined for the evening, until we pulled up outside Mcdonalds!!!! "Here we are he says the golden arches". What a fool I had been, neadless to say it did make me laugh and now I am marrying him. Although i have told him since that I would have preferred Burger King!!!
112. By Em on January 26, 2011

Worst date was meeting a guy for a drink who then told me i was brave coming to meet him as he could have an axe in the back of his car o anything and be a killer. I left pretty soon after!

When I went out and with her and an hour later she dumped me. :(
114. By Michael Clough on January 27, 2011

Went to see a band with this girl, she neglected to tell me that the lead singer was her ex from back home. They chatted all night while I was ignored so I got drunk and told her quite a few times that she was d*ck on the way back. That didn't go any further!
115. By MIKE BARKER on January 27, 2011

CHEAP DATE, MEAL AT BROMBROUGH, GAME OF BOWLING AND A NIGHTCLUB. MEAL WAS OK, DID POOR AT BOWLING. COUPLE OF DRINKS IN NIGHTCLUB, DATE HEADING IN RIGHT DIRECTION, ENDED UP HAVING A GOOD SNOG. SHE WENT TO GO THE BAR AFTER SNOG, HAIR WAS HORRENDOUSLY TANGLED IN MY METAL WATCH STRAP. STARTED SHOUTING 'OW' AND YANKING HER HEAD AWAY WHICH YANKED MY ARM - COMPLETE DISASTER. TOOK MY WATCH OFF, LEFT IT DANGLING FROM HER HEAD AND FLED.
116. By Mrs Beverley Vernau on January 27, 2011

My worst date ever has to be when I was sweet seventeen, and quite besotted with a young man called John, he asked me out, and yes was I thrilled. The evening went well, and we ended up in a night-club, and me being naive, drank just a few too many... We both walked home (or should I say staggered) eventually deciding to have a sit down on a bench, when all of a sudden I felt very queasy, and threw up all over him. It freaked him out, as for tea that afternoon- guess what I had for tea? Spaghetti. The poor bloke thought I puked worms all over him, and that was the end of that romance!
117. By sarah robinson on January 28, 2011

worst date i ever had started with a blind date which was arranged by my mates, i met the guy in a restaurant and he was already sat down we had a gud meal and evening and i was looking forward to hitting a few bars with him ..... it wasnt until we both stood up to leave and i was much taller than him we both agreed we had a good nite and to end it there ... his idea as well as mine ... i think we were both embarrassed about the height difference
118. By shane freeman on January 28, 2011

funny enough the worst date and best..was some 29 years ago with my next door neighbour,who i then went on to marry some 20yrs later and gave me my gorgous daughter so a big thank to her
119. By Elliot on January 28, 2011

My best date was when I was wearing very tacky clothes as i'd just come back from a trip, she asked me on a date because she said I looked ''original'' this was fine for me! We went out she wouldn't let me pay for anything, she said it was on her and she had lots too spend! So we had a lovely Italian meal (onher) then went back to her place for some fun and games! Was the best date of my life!
120. By Nicola on January 28, 2011

My best date was at a karaoke bar - empty but for the two of us. He sang ¨Don´t stop believing´ more than once and I murdered a few Mariah Carey warblers. Good times.

Me and she. It was the fisrt time we dated. We went for a pizza and a drink in a restaurant. We had fun, laughed...sunddenly the changed her attitude and asked me which astral sign am I. I said Scorpio. Then she started to scream and tell me that I am a bitch and I only want to hook up with her and that she doesn't want to see me anymore because she knows eerything about Scorpios. I was astonishd...later on I found out that she had some mental problems. This was my worse date ever!
123. By Imogen on January 29, 2011

Worst date: We were going to take the train to Leicester, but all the trains were cancelled. We had to walk all the way home - which took over an hour. On the way home he either dropped his wallet (which was full of cash) or it was stolen. When we finally got home the house had been burgled. We spent the rest of the day talking to the police..
124. By Midi m on January 29, 2011

One of my new boy friends house mates decided he would cook a meal for 10 of us. Unfortunately my watch had stopped (yes, I own a watch that actually needs winding up) and so I was nearly an hour late for the dinner. The house mate, who had cooked and had been told by my boy friend to keep the food warm and wait for me to arrive was ,not unsurprisingly, sulky all evening. Not a good start to a new relationship, I think it is only polite to be punctual and I usually am very punctual. Now for a question. Would you believe someone who said their watch had stopped?
For those who are interested we are still all good friends, I married the boyfriend and I still have the watch.
125. By Kylie Martin on January 29, 2011

When I got my first professional role in Covent Garden a South African guy started shortly after me. We got on really well and flirtations went on for quite a while. He asked me to go out on a date with him one night after work. I wasn't really keen on any sort of relationship at work 'dont dip your pen in company ink' so they say, but went along anyway. We got on like a house on fire and went on several more, we was very good at keeping our relationship quiet and nobody knew until we announced I was 12 weeks pregnant. We have been together almost 3 years now, getting married in the Summer and have a beautiful 15 month old daughter. Best date I ever went on :)
126. By Mark Ghinn on January 29, 2011

My best date will be 9th February 2011, when I finally become the proud owner of a Time2 timepiece.
127. By Jennifer Dyson on January 30, 2011

My worst date started innocently enough as a meal at a local restaurant on a warm winters evening. The food was nice and the company great. All was going well until just before the dessert was served my date offered me a top up on my wine.

I agreed so he picked up the bottle of fine red wine, leant forward to top up my glass, lost his balance and poured the remainder of the bottle down my new cream dress. I had only brought a short jacket with me so there was no way for me to cover the red mess that covered my frock. Very embarrassed he gulped down his desert, made his excuses and asked for the bill.

The dress was ruined as was the date never to be repeated again!
128. By Wendy Murray on January 30, 2011

The best date was the first date with my husband. We met online and had been communicating for months. I lived on a Scottish Island and my husband lived in North Scotland .We each drove half way top a special rendezvous meeting place, went in this wonderful place for a drink and couldn't take our eyes of each other. We had one drink and then both had to get in each of our cars to drive up to the North of Scotland to continue the date. That moment we first met will stay with me always and I think about it every day. I am a very lucky girl!
129. By rebecca price on January 30, 2011

my worst and best date was when i was 15 and me and my boyfriend went on a walk, i was so nervous i ended up talking rubbish the whole day! we were too shy to even hold hands but we're still together today :)
130. By AC on January 31, 2011

My worst date was a blind date with an investment banker. I took her to a Dutch pancake restaurant but she barely said a word and just generally glowered at me for no apparent reason. I suggested getting a bottle of wine but she immediately shut me down as she had to get up early in the morning. As she was giving me nothing to work with I ended up talking about my socks. As soon as we'd finished eating I asked for the bill without even checking if she was ready to leave (rude, I know, but I was desperate to escape). I never spoke to her again (thank god).
131. By Glenys McGrath on January 31, 2011

Worst date = When I was a young teenager. My boyfriend arrived with a big bag. He opened it in the cinema.
His mother had sent him with a glass jar of sweets! Never did taste any as we could not get the sticky
tape off. Heaven knows what the rest of the people thought with us both trying to open the jar in his lap!!!
132. By Susan on January 31, 2011

Met a really handsome guy who took me to a wonderful venue, he popped to the loo- leaving me to choose off the menu. Unfortunately - menu caught the candle and set on fire whilst choosing which dishes we might desire!!

The worst was when my date told me I had to loose weight.
134. By Christopher Harris on January 31, 2011

On a blind date set up she turned out to be a vegitarian and I love meat, she was a commited Christian and I'm an atheist. She loved cats, I love dogs. She was tea total and I love a drink or three! She hated football and I can't get enough and three years later she said I do and I did too!
135. By Heather on February 1, 2011

My worst date was when I was very young and naive. We went for a drink, all his mates turned up and they played pool for the rest of the evening whilst I sat there on my own. Thankfully I demand a little better attention these days!
136. By Laura Pritchard on February 1, 2011

Best date was the one I met my ex on after meeting online...just goes to show though that a good date does not a relationship make, as the fairly mediocre first date I had with my next boyfriend ended in marriage & a baby on the way!
137. By Ella Swinbank on February 2, 2011

Worse date - I was waiting for my date in the bus station but he didn't turn up. He'd forgotten he was meeting me and he was watching Star Trek in his bedroom with his dad. I forgave him and we've now been married 25 years!
138. By kathy cakebread on February 2, 2011

My worst date would have to be when I'd arranged to meet this guy who seemed okay in his photos but when he said hello he barely resembled it! Whilst it was similar he looked about 12 years old and like he was wearing his grandads jumper. He had a real attitude as he slammed his ID on the bar after being asked to show it as he looked young, and I knew instantly I didn't like him whatsoever. Out of politeness I stayed for a hour or so in which he informed me how his dad, a ex police officer, forces him to work 18 hours a day in two jobs and would kill him if he didn't (even though he didn't live in the area). He also said he worked in a factory when he was about 12 and that's how he got a huge hole in his hand after he fell asleep manning a saw. He then started telling me about how he spent a whole months rent to buy a rolex watch rather then the sensible option of saving up for one and his £800 chain that clearly meant the world to him. After he started asking me to come round to watch a dvd or get a takeaway I couldnt' get out of there fast enough and kept checking over my shoulder to make sure he wasn't following me!
139. By Paul on February 2, 2011

My worst date was when I met who I thought was going to be the 'one'. When I met them they turned out to be awful in every way. Thought we had a lot in common but turned out it was a case of absolutely nothing in common. Could not wait to escape at the end of the date. Never again.
140. By Louise Clifford on February 2, 2011

The worst date I ever went on was with someone who shall remain nameless. We went out on Valentines Day to a restaurant. He was opposed to Valentines Day and sat there with a face like pickled lemon. The miser grumbled about wasting his money upon a meal that was only 10 pounds and when we decided to leave nearly got into a fight with someone over a cab. The funniest part of the evening in this very cheap and cheerful restaurant was when I found a piece of onion on the menu and suggested that it could be used as a pointer to our chosen dish.
141. By Marley on February 2, 2011

The best and worst date all happened at the same time. Finally got to go on a date with a guy who I had been flirting with for a while, all was going well, we went for a few drinks then back to his because he had cooked me a dinner. I was so nervous but also excited my stomach couldn't cope, so finally it said enough is enough, and as her brought out the main course I threw up all over the table and him and the dinner!!!! I was so embarrassed and made a quick messy exit, but he called the next day, to see if I was ok and arrange another date!!!!!

The worst date EVER for me was a 2nd date with a guy named Mark. He arranged to meet me during an afternoon at the the end of summer but had no idea what to suggest doing. We ended up shivering in a non descript city centre park surrounded by wino's, barely finding anything to talk about. I felt I would never hear from him again and was quite pleased about that but for some reason gave him another chance to redeem himself a few weeks later. Luckily I did as we now live together and are planning our future, we never run out of things to say and do and have so much fun it is hard to believe we were ever that dull!
144. By Michelle Ptak on February 3, 2011

Best date with my husband ..... our first valentine he told me he was taking me out, so got dressed up and he came and picked me up. we went for a drink first and i was begging him to tell me where we were going ... he would not tell me. Anyway he took me back to his flat where he had prepared this amazing meal, he had champagne cooling on the table, a bunch of rosies and a present. He bowled me over. xx
145. By Maria Turner on February 3, 2011

146. By Ann Riley on February 4, 2011

my worse date was the guy who took his passenger seat out (he liked to practice the trombone in car)!!

I spent the whole date talking to the back of his head.......
147. By sarah allcoat on February 4, 2011

My best date was when I met my husband on a blind date to a gig, he had a spare ticket. Love at first sight, we just clicked. Worst definitely in the days before the mobile when you had to trust your pre-date arrangements were correct and waiting at the agreed meet point till they did/didn't arrive- obv the worst was when they didn't and you had to crawl depressingly home with no good experience to report at all.
148. By Jessica on February 4, 2011

This isn't a proper date... but when I first started going out with my boyfriend we were going to have a film night together. I bought a table full of food even though it was too much for me to afford for a week and was really nervous and excited since we had only just started dating. He came around carrying flowers and some more food and was really sweaty since he ran to my flat not wanting to be late. Instead of having a romantic film night with lots of food we both felt really sick and only had about 5 tortilla crisps each the whole night...so I had to spend the rest of the week finishing off most of the food before it expired... that and we only managed half a film... We were so nervous that night but happily together still a year on :)

My best date was the first proper one I had as a teenager. We had fancied eachother for ages from a distance, and finally got together after much trading of insults, jokes and the usual teenage stuff. Neeedless to say once we got together it was magic. It astounds me how we used to stay lip-locked together for so long at that age!

My worst date was in a pub with this guy who said to me he did not like pale skinned girls, I cringed as Iam ginger and pale though my skin is always covered in fake tan. All I could think was what would he say if saw me without my tan, he would of probably thought I was a corpse as that is how pale Iam!

Best date = the one in my dreams...

Worst date = all the other 'real' dates with the bunch of tight-wadded, boring, unoriginal, freaky, dudes i've attracted over the years.

THE WORST DATE I HAVE BEEN ON WAS THE ONE I SAT ON WHEN I WAS ON THE CRESTA RUN.WHEN I FINISHED I DISCOVERED IT HAD STAINED THE SEAT OF MY PANTS BROWN
154. By paula Tarling on February 5, 2011

My best date was when I arrived to meet at the pub and was sat waiting for a drink when all of a sudden champagne and strawberries were brought over which had been pre-arranged. We drank the champagne and nibbled on them then I was taken to a restaurant where I had the most wonderful date of my life. Nine years on we are still together and have been married for four months, forever my perfect man xxx
155. By Freda Kerslake on February 5, 2011

My first ever date ( at age 14 years ) was my worst ! ! ! -----HE DIDN'T TURN UP !
156. By Rach on February 5, 2011

We got stuck on the Tube and had to be evacuated and walk down the tunnel. He twisted his ankle and we spent the evening in Casualty, where we realised we had nothing to say to each other.
157. By carol phile on February 5, 2011

best date was riding through the sand dunes in Southern Corfu at midnight on my Greek fiance's motorbike after an evening's dancing

Worst date I've had was when she turned up late with 2 of her mates and they were all pissed .
159. By Jackie ONeill on February 6, 2011

A guy at work asked me out for a drink which I agreed to. The 'drink' involved him filling a litre coke bottle with vodka and coke and walking around a musuem. He thought that it was ridiculous paying in his opinion extortionate pub prices for drinks and as it was during the Winter we would go to the musuem to keep warm!! Did not get as far as the museum as when he explained to me what we were doing I legged it! Luckily he left work soon after!!
160. By Sarah Davies on February 6, 2011

The worst date I had was when my boyfriend asked me for some money so he could buy my Birthday present !
161. By Melanie Francis on February 6, 2011

I went on a date with a guy many years ago. It was a lovely sunny Sunday in Cornwall and so we went out for a drive. There was I, expecting perhaps a nice Sunday lunch, a glass of wine and maybe a stroll along the coast...but no. He took me to watch a match at his local cricket club! In fact, the closest I got to food was when he informed me that some of the 'wives' at the cricket club prepare tea and sandwiches for the players. Maybe I would like to do this too...!!
162. By Leslie Evans on February 6, 2011

I was on a Blind Date, I drove approximately 80 miles ans because of bad traffic was 10 mins late, she was not there, when I contacted her later, she said she does not wait around for anybody.
163. By Janet A on February 6, 2011

My worst date was being taken for a lovely meal, but when the bill came he didn't have enough money to pay! It was well before the days of credit or debit cards, so he went outside to search the car to see if he had any cash there. He was still short by about £5, so he had to come clean and said he would bring the balance in the following day. Boy was I embarrassed!
164. By Edina Lengyel on February 6, 2011

I met up with the boy we've been e-mailing with for half a year, each of us flying 9 hours to get there, in New York. First meet at 1 am in a Brooklyn bar (in a former fire station), over to Manhattan, borsch at Veselka (with the Ukranian hookers on a break) at 3 am, walk to Madison Square, dawn with Antony Gormley's Event Horizon statues there, then to Central Park, back down to Chelsea Market, and breakfast at Brooklyn Bagel Company, 8th Ave and 23rd St. Best date ever, and probably the most walking done in New York by a couple in 12 hours, without much attention paid to the sights. I've never been immersed so completely in another human being before.
165. By Hayley Andrews on February 6, 2011

my worse date was when I was a naive 18 year old, out on one of my first dates ever. I had arranged to meet this hunk I had met on Valentines day in our city centre. There I stood at the designated place, on time, clutching the first valentine card I had ever bought, to give to him. There I stood for an hour. It was the day before mobiles, so I was clueless as to what was going on. I then walked miserably to the bus stop, and got on my bus. It was then, as I looked gloomily out of the window that i spotted him, walking hand in hand with another girl. I didn't know men would behave that way, until that day.
166. By Joanne Platt on February 6, 2011

The best date I ever had started on 14yh February! When my boyfriend was working abroad, I recieved a text message that said simply "Paris"

One month later we flew to Paris and spent wondeful days exploring the most romantic city in the world.

Then We went to the Eiffel Tower and drank champagne...and we all lived happily ever after!
167. By Karen Nolan on February 6, 2011

The best date I had was going out with an old friend who I had bumped into after not seeing him for years. He convinced me to drag myself out and we found that there was a spark between us. We've now been happily married for 7 years and have 2 children.
168. By terina davidson on February 6, 2011

all my best dates have been with my husband,friend & soul mate, can't remember before him.
169. By Linda Hine on February 6, 2011

Best date was with George Clooney in New York. We went for a carriage ride round Central Park then had dinner in an amazing candlelit restaurant with champagne. He was just handing me a small box from Tiffany the Jewellers when - my alarm went off and I woke up .........
170. By Laetitia on February 7, 2011

My best friend, who was tired of hearing me complain about being single, booked me for a speed dating experience as a birthday present. I was quite shocked by the whole thing but also was quite excited about meeting new interesting people. It all started quite well, until this guy - 20 years older than me and very unattractive - decided that I should be his date and noone elses. He kept coming back to my table, lunging in between me and all my other 'dates' making it impossible for me to talk to anyone. I am glad he blew all my chances, as that day I also received a massive bunch of red roses from a friend who I had known for months, and who is now my husband.
171. By Janet Kam on February 7, 2011

I was 17 at the time (a long time ago) driving dads new car. Took new boyfriend on our first date for a drive in the country, clipped the kerb and sent the car into a roll. One write-off, luckily no injuries, never saw him again.
172. By Annette Polak on February 7, 2011

My first boyfriend used to take me to his friend's house where they would both play warhammer whilst I sat there bored out of my brain! Needless to say, we weren't together for very long!

175. By nick moore on February 7, 2011

Worst date that comes to mind is taking a girl i really liked to a very posh restaurant to impress her no end, anyway its turns out she was quite clumsy and while toasting with her wine dropped it, she tried to catch the glass with her other hand but only managed to knock it forward. The glass ended up smashed on the table and i had wine all over me. Everyone was left glaring at me like i had said something terrible to her!.
Cheers
176. By LT on February 7, 2011

BEST DATE: Can give you the exact date - 12 February 1979. This was my first date with the man who was to become my husband. We went to the cinema to see a Burt Reynolds film. My dad dropped me off and my date had to walk about 3 miles as there was a bus strike on that day. We will be celebrating our Silver Wedding anniversary in March 2011 and have really enjoyed sharing our lives with each other, looking forward to the next 25!
177. By R, Kalhan on February 7, 2011

a lovely student from Thailand, that turned out to be a Ladyboy!
178. By Ellen Stafford on February 7, 2011

The best date was when I met my boyfriend Neil for the first time. We had been chatting on twitter for a few months and we started chatting more and then on the phone and then he came down to see me. I will never forget how nervous I was waiting on the bridge over the railway line from him. He walked straight up to me and kissed me and I knew we would be together.
We see each other every weekend. They are the best.

Worst date was with my ex to the cinema to watch some fighty type film that I hated. BORING :)
179. By Karen Dixon on February 7, 2011

Me and my boyfriend went for a romantic break away to scotland for valentines 3 years ago after being to gether for one year! Spending this fantastic time together made us realise that we wanted to spend the rest of our life together resulting in us buying our first house together the day the we got back from our break - I have never looked back he is my everything and is soooooo good to me
180. By toni hall on February 7, 2011

a man once ran up to me in the street to tell me i was an extremely attractive woman! wouldn't give him my telephone number but took up his offer of a drink in a nearby bar, no strings attached.
the same man ran up to me the next night as i left work, to tell me the same thing!
i relented in the end and married him - 10 years ago this August.
181. By Lisa Mahon on February 7, 2011

My best date was with my now husband when we hired out rowing boats at Flatford Mill, before having dinner at Le Talbooth. It was a magical day!
182. By Leanne Bucknall on February 7, 2011

A date with someone I'd met on the internet, we'd spoken on the phone & we seemed to get along pretty well. Not quite the same when we met, definitely not the person I thought he was & I couldn't wait to get out of there.
183. By Justine Powell on February 7, 2011

This was a date with my EX boyfriend. He told me we were going out to dinner and I was really thrilled and asked him where we were going but he wouldn't let on. We finally got there and it was a steak house! I am a veggie!
184. By Gill Hancocks on February 7, 2011

I once went out with a Hans from Dusseldorf, he took me to a German restaurant. The starters were fine, but the 'wurst' was yet to come, boy was he a 'sour kraut'!
185. By Julie Thomas on February 7, 2011

Worst date was when we were supposed to be going to a fancy dress party. My date was dressed as Bond and was supposed to be picking me up in a limo. He was late cos the limo had blown up so we had to get the bus which crashed on the way, so we all had to get off. Then after escorting me home later he had had so much to drink he fell asleep on a golf course. It wasn't all bad though, and we are now happily married!
186. By Laura farren on February 7, 2011

187. By Hannah Beadle on February 7, 2011

Sad thing is don't think people really do "dates" now do they? Well I don't not even with my husband he is so unromantic. One Valentines he said we were going out to get some food so I got all dressed up and excited on the prospect of a romantis meal for 2 ......but no he took me to MacDonalds and we ate it in the car park nice!

My best date was 13th February, a meal out with my ex fiance that was so relaxed and pleasant and showed us how much we cared for each other, it became my worst date the next day when he was killed on the only road into my town. He deserved more life.
194. By Emma on February 8, 2011

Years ago when I was looking for Mr Right, my best friend rang me all excited one snowy weekend. "Get dolled up, we're coming over to go sledging and Paul (her boyfriend) has brought his mate who is gorgeous!" I didn't need asking twice and tried to look warm but beautiful!. My friend was right, Paul's mate was georgous but I found him difficult to talk to - he was very quiet. I was the first to take the sledge down a really steep slope and they all waited at the bottom. ( And yes, I was showing off!) Trouble was I didnt stop where I was meant to and girlie screaming, I crashed into brambles and nettles and really hurt myself. However, a tall, lean figure was running over...Mr Quiet!! He cared about me after all!....could this be the start of a big romance?? I waited for his arms to protect me.......to check I was ok.........However, his arms went for the sledge under me and he yanked it free from under my body. Then he legged it up the slope eager to have his turn. Who says romance is dead!!!
195. By chirag on February 8, 2011

worse date was when a friend arranged a blind date. Met the girl at the pub and for thirty minutes she did'nt say a word. only nodded when i spoke. After what seemed an enternity I said shall we go and she spoke. wanted to go back to my place and check my place out and what date were we going to get married. made out my excuses had to go to the hairdresser even though i have a receding hairline dropped her home and never got in touch with her again. She rang and left messages afterwards.
196. By Susannah Leggatt on February 8, 2011

Best date for me was the first date I had with my partner, we had hardly any money and went to a local greasy spoon, he had a fry up and I had a cheese burger. 15 years later we are still together and still have no money!
197. By Wilma Jones on February 8, 2011

My worst date was early on in my relationship with my now husband. He invited me for a weekend on the West coast of Scotland. As we got nearer to our destination I asked him where the Hotel was and he pointed to what looked liked a ruined army camp. We spent the weekend in a nissan hut with all the other members of the diving club he belonged to. We slept in metal bunks and ate RAF rations. Couldn't have been that bad though as we have just celebrated our Silver Wedding!
198. By Michelle Murray on February 8, 2011

My worst ever date was when i was 19 I had been going out for my boyfriend for 6 months. We decided to go to New York for Valentines Day Weekend. On Valentines Night he got down on one knee on top of the Empire State Building in front of everyone and proposed. I was gobsmacked. I quickly told him to get up but he didn't . There were loads of tourists saying 'aaah' and 'how romantic' and they were taking photos of us. Unfortunately I said no :0( The holiday pretty much ended there and we split shortly after we got home but 11 years later I married my goregous hubby in New York because I knew he was the right one for me!
199. By Diana Battye on February 8, 2011

Worst date was an eleven mile hike at speed along mostly dual carriageway to see where he grew up. We did get the bus back and when I got up the following morning I couldn't sraighten my leg. The knee had swelled and locked. I had to take anti inflammatories from the doctor. I should have heeded the lesson, I think.
My present husband is an angel by comparison.
200. By Dot on February 8, 2011

Last Christmas my boyfriend invited me to his place for the first time. When I got there, I was surprised to see no Christmas decorations, etc., because the week before he had asked me if I knew of anywhere he could buy a real tree.
After a great dinner, which he made himself and a few glasses of wine he suggested we went to the bedroom.
He opened the door, so I could enter first and I was amazed at what I could see. In the corner of the room there was a large xmas tree with lights flashing away and the room was full of decorations, fake snow, stars spelling out my name on the bed, etc.
Suddenly I heard a loud, Ho! Ho! Ho! I turned and saw a small plastic Santa which kept pushing his sack in my direction.
"Open the sack," my boyfriend said.
I opened it to find an engagement ring, I was so happy I did not know whether to laugh or cry, I think I did a little of both.
I said, "yes, of course I will" and we are now planning to get married this year.
I can't wait to see what surprises await me in our honeymoon bedroom.
201. By Chris on February 8, 2011

I had a date which was a bit of a mix of the two... Whilst holidaying in Greece I met a stunning girl on the beach, and my luck was in as she asked me out for a drink. So, the evening went amazingly, as we chatted and got on really well. I even thought that this could be the luckiest day ever as she asked me back to her apartment. As we reclined on the apartment's balcony, getting closer and closer together... my sun lounger decided to collapse, sending me backwards. Embarrassing enough, but the worst of it was that my head hit the gap in the curvy concrete balcony pillars and wedged completely. I was totally stuck, and she had to fetch help to free me. For some reason... I didn't see her again after that night.
202. By jimmy paton on February 8, 2011

my worst date had to be when i took this girle out on the town,all she spoke about was her car,how fast it was tyre size the lot.even when i took her home in a taxi she was telling the taxi driver his car was a bag of bolts and hers was way better.when i told her i had not passed my driving test yet she dumped me huh well saved me the bother
203. By Kate Coldicott on February 8, 2011

My worst date was a blind date set up by friends ( fellas, who I know now haven't got a clue). They set me up with their mate. I chatted to him on the phone and we discussed what we were attracted to in a date and I said they've got to have nice teeth as I'm a dental hygienist.
As soon as I met him I new he had false teeth. He was 25 and I spent the next hour staring at them thinking if he is like that now whats he going to be like when he really lets himself go.
204. By Adam Rotherham on February 8, 2011

The worst date i ever went on this girl called Claire, everything seemed to be going fine, we kissed and then few days later i found out she had boyfriend ouch. I didn't no this and i havent spoken to Claire since and the boyfriend she was with back then there now engaged ouch.
205. By Adam Rotherham on February 8, 2011

The worse date i ever went on was with girl i knew through school called Claire. Everything seemed be going fine, we kissed and i went home happy. Then i found out from my friend she had boyfriend of 3 years ouch. Since then i havent spoken to Claire and now she is engaged to her boyfriend at this time ouch.
206. By joanna king on February 8, 2011

WORST DATE EVER!!
I was 18, thought I was cool seeing a 23yr old guy (even though he was ridiculously boring... it was cool!, yeah right!). He took me to Chester for the day. Firstly, I got sick on the boat ride down the river. Then when we went to Old Orleans for a meal, I burnt my finger on the hot plate and literally had to hold it in my drink to stop it throbbing. I then proceeded to drop steaming hot broccoli (in a sauce) on my trousers which were of the linen variety. I had one beautiful blister, one brocolli shaped see-through grease stain on my thigh and I had sea-sick breath. He still wanted to see me again after this, but I just told him I was too busy with work. Such a shame, he really wanted a to treat a gal like his princess... just not for me! Bless him.
207. By michael redfern on February 8, 2011

The worst date I went on was out for an Italian. The guy I was with ate his lasagne with a spoon shovelling it down. He paid at the end with his Dad's credit card, I was not impressed!!
213. By Rachel Harding on February 8, 2011

Worst date - and my first. When I was twelve I agreed to go on a 'date' with Malcolm. My Mum dropped me off at the park and we met up in the playground. I was trying to be all tough and brave so I went on the aerial rope slide. Malcolm thought he was helping by pushing me really hard from the top of the jump off point. I slid down that thing like a bat out of hell, but I hit the other platform so violently the bar flung back in my face and gave me a nosebleed. Malcolm was impressed but also said he definitely wouldn't be kissing me that day.
214. By Neil Smith on February 8, 2011

My worst date: 1978 I was on shore leave from the Royal Navy in Lisbon, Portugal. Desperate to speak to my family back in the UK I entered a major Post office but alas no one could speak English when out of nowhere a vision in a leopard print cat suit came to my assistance. Great I thought speak to family and a hot woman in the process. She lead me back to her place and we climbed the stairs only to find I was invited to a prayer meeting. Deflation set in in more ways than one and after dodging the abundant amount of candles raced out of the house leaving my dream woman and fantasy behind for a local hostelry to drown my sorrows
215. By William G on February 8, 2011

Worst date - Met a girl in a nightclub and invited her out for a day in Derbyshire the following day with a group of friends, which see seemed up for. When I picked her up, she was wearing a very short skirt and killer heels. Not too clever for the Derbyshire countyside! Things went rapidly downhill from there......
216. By paul baker on February 8, 2011

my worst ever date was a one night stand she stayed over at my parents house and she was the first girl i had ever brought home with me so i was worried about what my parents would think so told this girl that she would have to wait upstairs until my folks went out, she told me that she needed the toilet but i told her that she would have to wait anyways next thing i know she suddenly stands up shouts TO LATE and has an accident all over my bedroom floor needless to say we didnt see each other again and i had to tell my mum and dad that my best mate had got to drunk and had an accident on the floor lol
217. By Jo Boyd on February 8, 2011

The worst? He forgot to turn up!
218. By Sharlene on February 9, 2011

Worst date - Being on a blind date but not knowing, thought I was just going for a drink with friend, how wrong could I be!
219. By Zoe Corbin on February 9, 2011

I went for a meal with my now ex boyfriend and it was a complete disaster. He was in a bad mood as someone had sent me a Valentines card and present and also sent flowers to our hotel. Needless to say it wasn't a very enjoyable meal.
220. By Mathew Burr on February 9, 2011

The worst dates are like some of the ones above.Where one or more parties tries waaaaay too hard and tells more than a few white lies to get the prize of a second date.The best ones are the fruity, juicy ones that leave you wanting more and with a sweet taste on yor lips.I've had plenty of both but I'm going to watch what I say as sometimes its time2 be quiet.
221. By Carol Gardner on February 9, 2011

worst: Blind date set up by a friend with her boyfriends brother, who she said she had never met. He was smelly, unwashed, unshaven, wore hideous clothes, had a glass eye and no personality whats so ever, and his only conversation was football, which I hate. The worst thing was, he kept turning up at my place of work for the next 2 weeks hoping to change my mind, he was really any ones worst nightmare. My friend thought it was really funny. I never went on another blind date ever again.
222. By Ann Calland on February 9, 2011

My worst date was when two guys turned up at the meeting place to take me out,yes I had forgotten I had arranged to meet one of them there and arranged to meet the other,Luckily I spotted them both stood there and beat a hasty retreat before they both saw me! No date for me that night.
223. By Phillippa on February 9, 2011

The worst date I have been on was with a man called Peter who took me to a local cafe and basically interviewed me and asked me the most stupid questions such as 'have I ever tried marmite on cheese thins!?' - it was very bizzare and to top it off when I asked him questions, he hardly spoke! Needless to say - it didnt work out :)
224. By karley on February 9, 2011

227. By Sharon Curran on February 9, 2011

The worst date I have ever been on was when we went on a romantic walk with a picnic and almost got stuck in a muddy peat bog because we went off the beaten track. Stinky bog mud is NOT romantic at all - especially when it's all over your brand news shoes!

My worst date was all down to me. We went to the pub before we were supposed to head off out for a meal. Me being nervous and not a big drinker didn't mix well. I drank just 3 glasses of wine because I was nervous and ended up feeling really queasy so I couldn't go for a meal so he suggested trying again another night and I said ok. As he helped me into a taxi I tripped and fell into it, I was mortified. Let sjust say that second date never happened

My best date was with my boyfriend of 4 years, for my 21st birthday he took me to edinburgh for the weekend in a nice hotel, he took me on a ghost tour on the night followed by a slap up meal at a gorgeous italian. When we got back to the hotel he suprised me with a stunning birthday cake and he had even managed to light the candles without setting the smoke alarm off! The next day we had a day at the zoo despite the freezing cold November weather and he treat me like a princess the whole weekend. Im a very lucky girl :)

I once went out with a car mechanic who talked about cars all night. When he asked what kind my dad had, after a lot of thought, I said, " A red one, with a roof rack".
Wonder what happend to him?

The best date I ever had was to attend a Xmas party. There I met David. We fell in love & have now been married for 28 years. We have two beautiful daughters & any time now we are to become grand parents for the first time. Perhaps the baby will be born on VALENTINES DAY!!!

‘What’s the best or worst date you’ve ever been on?'

The worst date I have ever been on was a trip to the cinema, 15 minutes into the film she took a toilet break and never came back, on the bright side the movie I would have given a 9/10

It was a blind date, we met at the local train station after work and he took me to the Mcdonalds opposite...?! There was a choice of 2 pubs and a nice coffe bar but McDonald's was his choice - it was a v v short date!

My very first one, as i met my wife and been happy since...
247. By ROSE JANES on February 9, 2011

I was 15 years old and my new boyfriend invited me to the fair. He drove us there and then asked me to look after his car keys. Yes you guessed it I lost them! He hot wired the car to get me home. My mum was horrified that he knew how to do that and banned me from ever seeing him again. That didn't really matter as he didn't want to see me ever again because I was so careless with his keys!!!!

My best date ever was the first date with my partner of 10 years..it was just a meal and a drink but I had had my eye on him for ages and felt like the cat that got the cream that night!! :-)

250. By scott tomison on February 9, 2011

well i thought it was a date, but it turned out to be a "FIG"ment of my imagination.
251. By Anthony Elvy on February 9, 2011

My best and worst date was meeting a young lady in a pub during my carefree days of single super-studness. I ended up marrying her....The jury remains out on the plusses and minusses of THAT encounter :)
252. By Duncan Campbell on February 9, 2011

Worst date - gorgeous amazing beautiful girl waiting patiently for me on first date, but car broke down in the middle of nowhere so I never even arrived :-( This was before the era of the mobile phone, and of course she thought I couldn't be bothered, worse she believed in first impressions and decided I was unreliable. I never got another chance, and will never know what could have been.

Over 30 years ago I worked for a famous british hish street chain who were known for their knickers sales. I was a management trainee and the building frim that were building a very large new store in Exeter where I was based had a trainee site manager working for them - Taboo with both companies to go out together~!! He asked me out for a drink for his birthday and I said yes -then i went down with the flu and didnt go - i stood him up he thought! When he found out I was ill we tried again and all went well Needless to say I didnt stand him up again....... this July is our 30th Wedding Anniversary with the added benefit of bringing two wonderful young adults into this world.
