I have to say I've been pretty lucky in my dating history. I've never really had any truly rude dates, outside the norm. I remember one guy I went out on a date with, who decided to mouth off to the cops when they came through the pub on a bar check. It was a Friday night in HB's Main St. That's what the cops do. Except I had never told him that I was working for the Sheriff's Department then, and my internal alarms went off. Only people who have been up to no good in their life tend to do that. I said to him, "So what did you get popped for?" He said, "Possession." That was my cue to exit. Of course it didn't stop him from trying to hold me there and put his tongue down my throat, to which I politely and in a ladylike manner explained I would break all of his fingers if he didn't let me go. It worked.
However, there have been others than hovered on the rude borderline. They were late (a little to a lot), kept checking their cell phone in front of me, texting in front of me, got a little too touchy feely too soon. I have to wonder, where did they learn their dating manners from? This morning I came across this article Bad Dating Manners. A lot of my friends have told me some funny stories, and they run the gamut from cheap men to men who do nothing but talk in a vile way about their exes. One man even cried at the table when one of my friends remarked how unhappy he seemed. Self control, people!
I pride myself on being a good date. I'm prepared to pay, should it come to that. I'm on time, and am a witty conversationalist. I flirt a little, but never with someone who I am not attracted to. I don't like leading people on and never agree to get in contact if I'm not feeling it. I will let them know right away, usually the next day, if I won't be seeing them again. That's just being nice.
One wonders where people get their dating manners from. A male friend of mine went to pick up a girl he asked out and she was dressed in what could only be described as "hooker chic". After he took her to dinner, she invited him back to her house. From there it just got weird and he quickly got back into his car to leave. So its not just doing the offending!
I think I can place the bad manners blame on upbringing. What say you, audience? What was your most awful experience?

I just had a recent one, and ih dear blog leader, you know the dude! Lol.
So, he invited me to join him in Vegas for a baseball tournament. After we established the ground rules for the living arrangements ( 3 bedroom condo he had already paid for with my own room) , I booked the flight which cost me nothing since I have miles to spare.
After a helatolious day of baseball watching in the scalding Vegas heat with noshade, we joined his friends for dinner. You would think that after I made the efgort to fly one state over o ly to drive right back thst same night, the dudr eould pay for my $20 cheesy Vegas cafe dinner. NOPe! The bill came, he handed me my share and I paid for it.
Now let's be clear about something; It's NOT about tge money! I make goox money. It's the concept people! I just reay long to be treated like alady. I dih it! I think it's sexy! It turns me on. And when the time comes, I dont mind paying for things too. But at least in the begining: Humor me!
I went on a first (and only) date with a guy that felt it was OK to look at my cell phone texts and ask questions about the other men in my life. When I politely declined to share, politely explaining that any questions about other suitors was a bit premature and that it wasn't really any of his business he declared the date to be over. He then proceeded to grab my lil' box of takeout food out of my hand, threw it on the ground and then JUMPED ON IT LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE!
It was definitely one of those moments when you have to stop for a second, pause and then ask yourself "did that REALLY just happen?".
OMG!!! THAT IS HORRIFIC!
OMG. That's quite ... odd. I recently had a guy (who I hadn't yet met in person, we were in the process of setting up a coffee date) quiz me on why I'm still single. At first it seemed like just conversation, but I soon got the feeling that he thought something must be wrong with me to still be single at my age (never mind that he's still single). Gah.
