People Share Their Dating Experiences That Went Horribly Wrong

Some dates are so awkward that you wish they’d end before they even start. Here are a few cringe-worthy dating moments that will make you grateful for your own experiences.

1. Thank God It’s Over: A date started with a walk but quickly became unbearable as my date complained nonstop. From his job to his family, nothing was right. At dinner, he ordered for me without asking and spilled juice on himself, ranting about everything. When it came to paying, he exploded at my suggestion to split the bill. I left cash and walked out, only to have him demand something in return, even threatening me at my door. The next day, his aunt called, but I never heard from them again.
2. Making the Exit: On this date, my date spent the entire meal glued to her phone, barely acknowledging me. When I asked for separate checks, she was shocked, expecting me to pay for everything. I calmly replied that a real date would involve some conversation. I paid my share and left, feeling relieved.
3. A Kiss for Two: My date brought a giant stuffed rabbit, Pebbles, to the movie for comfort. Afterward, she insisted I kiss both her and the rabbit. It was strange, but memorable.
4. Calling It Quits: On a blind date, I was disappointed by my date’s appearance, but I stayed. Then, she casually announced her family was joining us for the movie. Her brother kicked the back of my seat nonstop, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I made an excuse to leave and drove home.
5. A Baffling Request: At the zoo, my date asked me to pay for my own ticket. When we reached the booth, he used a two-for-one voucher for himself while I paid full price. I was stunned, but he shrugged it off, and I knew there wouldn’t be a second date.
6. A Major Turn Off: During dinner, my date accidentally revealed he was married, but tried to laugh it off. I couldn’t ignore the red flags, so I paid, stood up, and left.
7. Where’s the Check?: On a seemingly good date, my date casually told me she was engaged but unsure about her fiancé. I was stunned and asked for the check. That was the last time I saw her.
