We've all had them, those stomach churning encounters with Mr-Couldn't-Be-More-Wrong-If-He-Tried. Here, iVillagers spill the beans on some of their biggest dating disasters.

About six years ago I went on a date with this gorgeous guy. We met up with a friend of mine. He took one look at her, came on to both of us and started telling us that one of his fantasies was a threesome with a brunette and a blonde.
Neither my friend nor I were very happy about this so we decided to get our own back. We flirted outrageously all night, went back to his place, persuaded him to strip, tied him to the bed ... and left. Apparently, he couldn't untie himself, spent all night being used as a pillow by his dog, and his flatmate had to free him the next morning!

I went on a picnic date with this guy once. He started kissing me and proceeded to get a bit frisky so I told him to keep his hands to himself. Then he said he was a virgin (at 29) and that he fancied having sex before he was 30 and needed a girl to 'do the business.' He said he would like to see me again but on 'his terms' (no prizes for guessing what he assumed would happen).
After letting me pay for all the wine he ended the date by saying that he hoped he could see me again, but after that, if he decided he didn't want to see me again, he hoped that I wouldn't turn into a stalker and bother him at his home! Needless to say, I ran away fast and sent him a 'Dear John' email the next morning. If nothing else, he was hilarious!

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me on a date was when I had a cold and before I could stop myself I sneezed mid-kiss - right into the guy's mouth! He was a tolerant sort though and we were together 3 1/2 years!

I met this guy online and we decided to meet to see if we got on in person. We met and went to a coffee shop. He ordered his drink and I ordered mine, and I paid for us both (cough).
When we sat down he started bombarding me with questions such as 'What is your best quality?' 'What is your worst quality?' 'Why do you think you are ready for a relationship again?' etc. I wasn't sure whether I was being interviewed for a job or for the secret service!
Before we parted, he suggested we meet again. I was so stumped that I ended up stuttering and stammering away in a whole new gibberish language that I am sure not even a top CIA investigator could crack, but of course he did, and I never saw him again!

I was going out with this guy once, who desperately wanted to have sex, claiming he would have done it 'anywhere' with me, I just had to choose the venue. So I did.
I invited him around my place, went in the bedroom pretending to 'get ready', left him outside the room and then called him in. When he opened the door, my bedroom was packed with my girlfriends cheering him on and telling him to 'GO FOR IT'. He wasn't very happy, especially as he had stripped naked!

I met this guy through a friend and we began our first date by having a lovely meal and a really nice evening. To be honest I did like him, we went for a walk and he even gave me a £1 to throw in the river from a bridge to make a wish. We went for a late evening romantic walk along the riverside, he held my hand and I felt quite happy in his company.
Then, out of the blue, he flung me around and started kissing me but at the same time trying to choke me with his tongue shoved half way down my throat. It literally made me gag and I was so shocked that I pushed him away from me. To be honest I probably pushed a bit harder than necessary, but I didn't realise how close we where standing to the river's edge. Well, he sort of fell in, and it was fairly deep, but at least I felt it had taught him a lesson!

I dated this guy who said he owned a pub, a nice bungalow in Maidstone, had recently inherited a lot of money and held down a good job. He also told me he had a high sex drive!
The pub - he had once lived in an upstairs flat with one of the barmaids.
The bungalow - his parents.. where he still lives in his 40s!
The money - all in his mind (waiting for relatives to die).
The job - he did have a good job, but that was all he ever talked about!
High sex drive - he was 5ft 5", so it must have been on a high shelf, because I never saw it.
