I've had way too many.
One guy I was seeing collected magazines about serial killers and admired Ted Bundy. And expected me to buy him sandwiches out of my dole money whereas his went on brand new Levis. One time I said "you can have some cheese and toast, I'm off to get a sarnie". He started screeching at me in front of a bunch of builders that "why should I have caviar when he had nothing". We once had a row and I ran away (from my own house!) as he would not stop going on and on, and he followed me into the street without his clothes on. We lasted a month. When we split up he hung around my house and used to say to my mother "why won't she speak to me". This was also after he'd nicked my leather jacket and I had to send my friend "Bob" round to get it back as I was a poor (ish) p/t student and it was my trusty winter coat.
Had lots of bad dates. One guy told me he didn't like women with big tits and flat arses after ranting on about how he didn't like people with "working class interests", (along with throwing in racist comments). At this point I stood up and said "that'll be me then, I've got big tits and a flat arse" as by this point I was fed-up. He looked confused and said I was perfectly formed. I went to the toilet, by the time I came back he'd had a good look and said he had to go.
Another date tried to get me drunk and didn't realise I can drink a lot. Told me his flat was a mess but would I like to come back anyway. When I ignored him he tried to steer me back there by gently pushing me. I now don't tolerate bad dates for long (or do online dating).
There are worse ones but keeping schtum on those. I stayed single for ages as kept thinking I was making bad choices....bad dates are unfortunate mind you, but the relationships.. urgh.
Mary Poppins... your guitar story, I went out with a guy for a year that used to get out his electric guitar and get me to sing along to Oasis and Jam songs. He used to get us to play singing games when we woke up in the morning as he knew he had a good voice and liked to show off constantly.
I think I need to raise my standards.
The person I'm seeing now is almost normal though.

She eventually decided to move in and her mother used to come round and there were crying fits and histrioincs while my flatmate and me would be hiding in the kitchen. Eventually threw her out and I'm sure there was some fallout.
