  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've been on a few bad dates but this one takes the cake...

She could barely stop talking about herself, but when I started to talk, she stopped listening. She insisted that I drive, and she was ticked when I wasn't doing it her way. I let her know there wouldn't be a third date, and predictably, she took it personally and blamed me for being a lousy boyfriend.

I wouldn't call it a date really. But it was the week O spent out here last year. It's the only time that I can remember actually being upset/angry.

I just have no tolerance for people who don't respect nature.

We were walking through a Nature Reserve where there are endangered owls nesting on the ground. There is a clear path with signs that say, "Do not wander off path. Endangered nesting owls." Yet in order to get a picture of a tree or something, he completely ignored the sign and wandered off the path, tromping through everything.

I flipped. Maybe the reaction was a bit extreme, but I just know of the time and money people have put in to that reserve in order to help all of then endangered species that live there. I think it was that day that I knew I couldn't be with someone who would do something like that. His actions were selfish.

I got called into work during a date. Tried to get out of it, but it didn't work. I had no choice but to leave right then.
When I was thinking about it the next day, I realized I forgot to pay for the food before I left. So I called her to explain how bad I felt, but not surprisingly she wouldn't pick up when I called.

I ordered a steak. Lol

I always make sure ahead of time how rude someone is so I don't waste my time. I always ask a woman "Do you like to shop", "Do you like gettings lots of gifts?, "Do you expect your meals to be paid for?". Then finally I ask "Would you say are materialistic?". If they say yes, then I say "Nevermind, we won't work!". I never liked the "I'm a woman pity me and buy me stuff!". Love is not about how much you get, its about whats inside.

The ones that I have been with were never really rude per say. Although one woman I was with we went to the mall and she kept saying everyone was watching her (she had paranoia I think). Well a sales associate came up to her and asked "Is there anything I could help you with?". My sceamed out the "B" word to her then screamed and swore as she stomped out of the building. All I could think was "Ugh, well this isn't going to work!".

I also had another woman who after kissing me said "Mmm, I've had better kisses. Your like a 4 out of 10". Gee thanks. That makes me love you more! >.>

SHE DIDN'T???!!! Wow.

I was dating this beautiful guy with a british accent. Wasn’t til date #3 that he snuck into the conversation the fact that he was MARRIED!

mr. face meet mr. palm

Eek! =/



I don't think I ever had a "rude" date but a bad date, yes.
I went on a date with a guy who couldn't stop talking about himself. He would then ask me a question but never let me finish or even say anything half the time. I sat through 3 hours of listening to all the things he had done in his life and how "connected" we were when I seriously said less then 5 words ever 15 or so minutes. I think I was the rude date. I kept staring at a distance at the large graphic sign on a building and wondering who the artist was and why they choose the specific font type.

The only time I ever let myself be talked into a blind date... and why I told my friends on no uncertain terms they were not to set me up again, or they would not be my friends...
This was a youth group valentines banqut thing I was asked to help chaperon as the leaders were married and wanted to sit together, one of my friends set me up with his girl friends (later first ex-wife) best friend
she talked about herself all night, was rude to the other girls around us(who were my friends, just to young for me) she let slip a few cuss words in church.

We went out bowling afterwards(the whole church group) and she really showed her true colors then she tried to make a move on me, I literally had to stand up and get her off my lap while at a bowling alley.

Thankfully, I've never seen her since.... cause I was like "ok, go away or I file a restraining order now."

Hmm... I can only really think of one story. I was with a woman I had been dating for a couple of weeks and we were driving to one of our favourite restaurants. Anyway, we get caught behind this horrendously slow driver and this person will not turn left to cross like 2 lanes of traffic. I am a fairly patient guy and while annoying I recognize that some people are less than comfortable drivers (my mother being one of them). My date is not patient.... she reaches over and honks the horn from the passenger side! I was so mad! I lost my - word that is blocked out here- . lol.... lets just say diner was awkward and it just about ended our relationship.
