Cynic!
My cynical friend Steve keeps up a website called datingcansuck.com. I personally don’t have a whole lot of sucky dating stories, but he is collecting them from his own experiences and those of others. You might be entertained by some of their experiences (my new favorite: Booger Hand), so be sure to check it out!
Here is a sample of a sucky date:
Are you having fun?? Yeah…well no.
OK this is just too good to not post. I had been talking to this very nice lady online and over IM and on the phone for a week or more. We decided that we should go out. I told her that there was a dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe and karaoke at a local theater afterwards on Friday night (an activity with other singles in the area) and would she like to go. She said she would love to. So I picked up my date at the established time and headed to the restaurant. We got there and were greeted by the ‘hostess’ of the party. The ‘hostess’ informed us that she had planned some ‘get to know each other’ activities and gave us instructions. Anyway, we both started participating in the activities. Now it turned out to be a fairly large group, maybe 50+ which is a lot of people. I thought it was great that my date was participating and she seemed to be having a good time. After a few minutes of the activity we sat ourselves at a table and proceeded to talk and visit. I was very attentive to her as this was her first “single activity�. Well we ordered dinner and visited some more. I introduced her to numerous other single people from the party. I thought everything was going fine and she was enjoying herself. Well when she finished her dinner she asked if she could borrow my cell phone, to which i replied “absolutely�. She walked to a quieter area of the restaurant to make a call. Now I am thinking she is checking on her kids, so when she returns I ask “is everything ok?�. She replied “yes…well actually I just called a friend to come and get me�. I could not believe it. WTH??? She said that there were too many people and it was too much for her. Well i was kinda shocked. I really did not know what to say so i just said “OK�. I have NEVER had a date leave in the MIDDLE of a date before. So this was a first for me. Ten minutes later she was gone. Now there is one for the books. LOL. Yeah, dating can suck.

I think I will have to have a look at the website you mention for dating that sucks.
Still in the story above you have to admit that the guy was a bit silly in the first place. Had he had my advice he would have met for a coffee before hand and then either of the party could leave after 5 minutes. A lot cheaper in my opinion if she ups and leaves.
