Passive-aggressive “dating” at its finest. Well done! The third person on the so-called date is an especially classy touch. Your mom must be so proud.

With respect OP, you sound like the crazy one not the guy. His only crime was wearing a ring and a few chains… you on the other hand dragged a 3rd party before you had the chance to sit down to dinner with him, woke him up to look at the moon (weird), left a stranger you met on the net inside your home, bothered your poor friend at ungodly hours of the morning, all before returning home to scream at the guy!

He must have been glad after all of that that he lives 2 hours away.

I like that you had the deal with your female friend set up before the date. That’s a good idea.

Why would you let a guy you don’t know stay at your house? There are a lot of weirdos out there, be safe!

“no hint I dropped could get him to leave”

I hope you’ve learned to say “No you cannot stay over, thanks for dinner and drive safely.” since then.

Hmm. It seems to me that you’re not very nice, actually.

Seems to me that this girl was too immature to handle the situation that she shouldn’t have gotten herself into in the first place.

Ditto what Tronner said–

Waking him up to “look at the moon” is baffling as a passive-agressive attempt to give him the heave-ho. I should think most guys would have perceived it as a hint to get romantic.

It seems that you implicitly invited him to spend the night– why didn’t you simply crash on the couch then bid him adieu in the morning, like any sane adult who takes responsibility for their actions?

It might have been a better ‘worst date’ if told from the guy’s perspective: “First, she dragged her friend along on the date… later, she invited me to spend the night then inexplicably woke me to “look at the moon” I tried to be polite and told her it was pretty, then went back to sleep… I heard her noisily driving off at dawn, then returning… finally, she barked at me to “GET UP!” with a maw full of toothpaste, spattering Crest Baking Soda with Peroxide within a five foot radius. We never spoke again. Can you blame me?”

Ha ha, there’s no way ‘look at the moon’ was going to be an effective ‘please leave’ hint! Hindsight’s a great thing, but you should have simply told him in a kind way that you weren’t comfortable having a guy you’d only met once staying over at your place. Ultimately, I’d say that being straight with people tends to offend and hurt them less than being passive while silently fuming, cos if they pick up how you really feel under the passivity, they feel foolish and it’s unpleasant for them. Plus it’s kind of like you’re leading them on.
