People Share Terrible Details About Dates That Went Horribly Wrong
There are dates that have so many embarrassing moments that you want to end them before you even get started. The stories that follow focus on dating mishaps that took a dramatic turn for the worse.
Few things in life compare to the excitement of a potential date: the build-up, the jokes, and the potential for a deeper kind of connection. However, as anyone who’s gone on a number of dates will attest, not all of them end up as happily ever after.
Even though we hope for romance and passion, some dates end up like the amusing and unexpected dating disasters below— uncomfortable, embarrassing stories that make us want to leave as soon as possible.
1. Thank God It’s Over
On Reddit, a woman described her awful dating experience. They went on a walk on their first date, but her date took up the entire conversation for an hour, complaining about everything in his life and letting him have no say in the matter.
Reaching a breaking point, he decided to call it quits, excusing himself to the restroom and opting to drive home instead.
He ordered her dinner at a restaurant with presumption, disobeying the bartender’s warning regarding hard-to-open caps, and ended up getting juice all over himself. As he berated the employees and declared that his own nation was superior, his conceit came through. Even though she was uncomfortable in a place she went to often, he persisted in his tirade against the alleged incompetence.
As the evening went on, the man declared his desire to take over as manager and fire those he considered to be incompetent. The woman suggested sharing the check when it arrived, taking into account his past conversations regarding financial matters. He yelled at her in return. She went out, leaving money on the table, but he continued to babble about how great his country was.
When he insisted on walking her home, she gave in to his demands in an attempt to prevent a scene. The trip was awkward and quiet, and when he finally arrived at her front door, he tried to push his way in under the pretext that she owed him. She refused, shoving him aside and hurling more cash at him before announcing the end of their conversation. From inside, she wrote him a sharp text, threatening to call the police if he persisted.
His aunt, who lived close by, confronted him the following day and had the audacity to recount the tragic incident while claiming that his family ought to have “raised him better.” She didn’t worry if the family never spoke to her again after this occurrence.
When others asked where he was from, she said he was from Serbia, stressing that his actions were not a reflection of his nationality but rather of his own failings and fears.
2. Making the Exit
A Reddit member recounted going on his first date with a girl who insisted on eating at an incredibly expensive restaurant, ordering a $15 cocktail, a $45 steak, and a $25 appetizer. She was glued to her phone the entire meal, answering texts and taking calls nonstop.
When the waitress noticed this, she gave him a subdued signal. The waitress offered to prepare separate bills when he excused himself. With pleasure, he agreed. He paid his share of the bill and said, “That would be wonderful!” before leaving for home.
3. A Kiss for Two
An eighteen-year-old male living in the dorms while stationed in the Air Force was arranged to go on a date with his girlfriend’s cousin by his roommate. The four of them chose to go to the movies, and his date shocked them all by showing up with a huge blue rabbit—not the kind of little trinket you find on a keychain.
She clarified that despite the comic nature of the selected film, the large plush animal provided solace during movie viewings. The party decided to get ice cream after the movie, and then they went to the cousin’s house.
His date advised him to kiss Pebbles, the enormous stuffed rabbit, as well as her as they approached the door to stave off any possible jealousy. Thinking back on the strange circumstances, he underlined that he did, in fact, kiss Pebbles, finding his date to be really attractive but definitely weird.
4. Calling It Quits
Once, a man was matched with a female on a blind date by his buddy. When they first met at the theater, he noticed that she didn’t look anything like the pictures on Myspace. To make things even more complicated, she introduced him to her brother, age nine, and parents as they arrived at the theater to watch “Gnomeo and Juliet.”
Confused but unflinching, he managed to sit through the movie, even though his date’s brother was kicking the back of his seat nonstop for the whole twenty minutes. He finally reached a breaking point and made the decision to drive home rather than continue the argument, excuse himself to use the lavatory.
5. A Baffling Request
On Twitter, a woman shared her first-date experience to the London Zoo. Her date unexpectedly asked if she would mind paying for her own ticket at the door, and she said yes. After that, the date produced a two-for-one voucher, so she had to pay for her ticket while he was admitted free of charge.
6. A Major Turn Off
During a dinner date, a man’s wedding band unintentionally fell out of his pocket as he reached for his wallet—a “rookie mistake” for keeping both items in the same location.
The woman immediately put some cash on the table and made the decision to walk home, overcome with contempt at the circumstances. It was one of the few times in her life that she’d been too disgusted by events to feel like eating.
7. Where’s the check?
A man was shocked when a female said, “Actually I’m engaged, but I’m not 100% sure if he’s the right one,” during their first date. I’m going to go on a couple dates to see if I decide to change my mind. The man asked for the check and left without saying much more.
