I don't think I've had a bad first date, most of them were more in the category of 'why the heck did I bother to turn out?'
I used to do the 'blind date' thing, and while chatting on the phone I'd ask them if they resemble a famous person, so I could get an idea what they look like, one fella said Jeremy Clarkson, so I thought tall and dark and not good looking. (In my opinion)
When we met he was short, had white hair and looked nothing like JC, but he looked more like Santa without a beard, so I gave him the sack! . He was married too.
I have had dates with men who look like famous men, a younger Edward Woodward was one, I nicknamed him Scrooge cos he said he didn't have a televison or cooker cos he assumed the woman would have them already. He didn't have a car cos he lived in walking distance of town where he worked...as a tax inspector! lol
'Eric Clapton' was another look alike.
'Noddy Holder', I dated this look alike when we were 14 years old.
My daughter went on a first date to Alton towers. My daughter is a big girl. But when she finished waiting in line for the ride they refused to let her on the ride coz she was to big. ......... I would have gone mental ......... They didn't give her refund either she did see the bloke again though.
I went on a meet up with a guy quite a few years ago, we had talked online, spoken on the phone etc, seemed to get on pretty well. He had told me he was 6ƈ, had long black hair was an accountant (or some such), never married and all the usuals. Too good to be true - too right!.
We met at Euston station, there I was expecting some lithe looking lothario to appear to have a nice evening with, maybe some giggles and strike up a friendship and go from there.
When a short,(approx 5Ƌ) bald specimen suddenly stands in front of me, introduces himself and says 'shall we go dancing then!'. Shocked wasn't the word! I nearly fell out my heels. Figured maybe he was shy, felt the need to BIG himself up, benefit of the doubt, I had misheard (besides it's what is inside that is relevant). So began heading along to our destination, a nice little cafe/bar.
OMG! the man did not shut-up, (a sudden attack of nerves - nope) I can talk, but this guy seriously did not take a breath one of the 'done everything, seen everything, been everywhere' people!!!!. So we got to where we were going and he simply stood there, told me what he was having, expected me to pay for him as he seriously hadn't bought any money, showed me his empty wallet to prove it too and then went and sat down.
I got him a glass of water, told him he was a nice chap but it really wasn't gonna work and promptly left. Felt a bit mean though.
Thing is he called me a couple of days later to ask me out again, I nearly died laughing!
