"It Got Creepy FAST": People Are Revealing The Most "Unhinged" Things Men And Women Have Said On Dates, And I'm Flabbergasted "The first few days of chatting were great. And suddenly, he took off his 'decent guy' mask..." The first couple of dates or talks via a dating app usually consist of weird and awkward interactions; however, sometimes someone says something soooo off-kilter that it shuts the whole date down. So when we asked the BuzzFeed Community: "What was the most unhinged thing a person said on a date," people did NOT hold back. Here's what they said below: 1. "After I stupidly gave a guy a second chance when he stood me up for our first date, I agreed to go out to dinner. The place we ended up going was near where I worked, and I mentioned it. He said, 'Oh, really, THAT’S where you work? Huh… I always thought they only had, like, really hot girls working there. Huh.' He then got up to use the bathroom, our food came, and I wrapped up my sandwich and the fries, threw his sandwich in the trash, and left. Never heard from him again." 2. "My favorite worst first/last date was with this guy who said that math is stupid, animals are gross, and he doesn't 'get science'. This was after I told him I'm doing a PhD in biology, which I also told him before the date. So I guess he saved that one." —orenlevko1 3. "I met this guy at an event party, where he was bartending. We started making out, and while he was distracted, this other girl walked off with a cup of beer. He responded to the theft of a $2 cup of beer by punching her in the mouth. I disappeared into the crowd and then went home." 4. "I had a first (and last) date who went into great detail about his 'weak stream' and related medical history when he came back from the bathroom." —rachbetty21 5. "I was talking to a guy I met on a dating app for about a week. The first few days of chatting were great. And suddenly, he took off his 'decent guy' mask after I told him that a friend of mine and I would occasionally make homemade pizza, drink wine, and watch a movie/TV show. Keep in mind, my friend is not a threat. I'm not attracted to him, and he told me he had a crush on me years ago, and I told him I didn't feel the same. Now we are still good friends, but nothing would ever happen. After I told this guy, he got really upset and told me that I needed to stop and that men and women can't be just friends. He said that women often confuse control with boundaries." 6. "I met a guy on a dating app. He was older, wealthy, and a gentleman. After a few dates, he told me, as if he was giving me a weather report, that he wanted me as his submissive." —uniqueraptor2935 7. "I dated this guy who complained I never opened up and spoke about myself. Since I’ve heard this before, I gave him the freedom one night to ask whatever he wanted about me. Of all the things he could ask me about, he chose to ask me about my feelings towards guns. Apparently, he was a gun aficionado, and I, not being one, would be a dealbreaker for him." 8. "In college, I went to a talk by a holocaust survivor and poet. A group of friends, plus a girl I had been dating for a couple of months, came over to my place that night, and I was telling them about what the speaker said. She pulled me aside a little later and said something like, 'I don’t know if this is a good time to tell you, but I have serious doubts about whether the holocaust really happened.' I never talked to her again." —Anonymous, 42, California 9. "I met a guy on FB Dating, and we hit it off on the phone. I agreed to meet him in person, and we spent a couple of days planning our meeting. The day before we were supposed to meet up, he blew up my phone. When I was able to call him back, he lost his mind and started screaming at me for obviously cheating on him with some other dude and called me all kinds of names. I responded with 'Thank you for showing me your true colors before I actually met you in person, go F yourself.' I hung up and immediately blocked him. Dodged a bullet there. I can’t even imagine what some of these people are thinking, or why they would feel it’s ok to talk to others like that." 10. "I went on this first date with a guy I met through gaming online with my sister and her husband. He played a few games of squads with me, my sister, and my brother-in-law. I had been talking to him online for a little bit, and he didn't raise too many red flags until our first actual date. He invited a friend and refused to let me tell them not to come since he already told them they could. So we ended up going on this three-way date to the movies, and things went okay — but it was off-putting enough to be railroaded into a third member of the date, so I decided to call it after, but I stayed to respect the date. I was out already, so I might as well stay out and try to have as good a time as possible, even though in my head I was already burning bridges. (I was also everyone's ride)." "At the end of the movie, dinner, and dropping his friend off at his own apartment, I was saying bye to my date in the car. He leaned in for a kiss goodbye, and we were making out for a little bit when he moved my hand into his pants. Hated. That. Mid make out, with MY HANDS ON HIS ~member~, he asked if I thought my sister and her husband ever did this, like the thought of it excited him? I hated that even more. I was afraid to show him how thrown off I was because it was late and there was no one around, and at this point, I was like, 'You are in a compromising situation with a stranger in the dark.' I don't want to think about my sister or her husband right now. The fact that you did, sir, was weird for meeee. So I stopped making out with him, made up a lame excuse of being super tired, and later dumped him after explaining why and blocked him on everything. He has hounded me and my family and friends since, for another chance, randomly following people I get tagged in photos with in order to get a message to me. This guy seemed really nice, too." —Anonymous, 30, California 11. "I met a guy who would not accept the fact that I wasn’t into him and that our views and interests didn’t align. Dude straight up told me those things didn’t matter in terms of relationships." 12. "I once went out with a guy, and after googling him I came to find out he was 44, not 31, and a convicted sex offender. Two days later, he had managed to figure out where I lived and was on my doorstep to PROPOSE?!" —fnfryman 13. "We met on a gaming server and started DMing. He seemed funny and nice at first, but then got creepy FAST. After just a couple of days, he started sending me literally hundreds of DMs per hour, calling me his 'soulmate' and telling me he 'loved me' and wanted to move in with me. I blocked him and left the Discord server. Note that I hadn’t told him any personal info other than about my cats, favorite foods, and my profile picture was of a random squirrel." 14. "I met a guy on an online app. He told me his name and a bit of info about himself, and a photo. After some things did not add up, specifically about his line of work and name, I told him that I could not find him online and that he was not being truthful. He then proceeded to give me 'his real name', explaining that he was simply being cautious. Right. I ghosted him and blocked him for good. Good riddance; I cannot deal with liars." —cheesymagician682 15. And finally, "I am horrified to say this, but I have been on a date with a person who had informed me that she's not interested in personal hygiene on a consistent basis. When I asked for more details about her statement, she went on to say that she is not going to shower or bathe at least once a week, or not before."
