Guy Lies To Bartender About Being Alone When He Goes To Buy Wine For His Date, Ends Up Spending The Evening With Him
There are many ways to screw up a date. You could spend the evening talking about yourself only, or your ex, or you can get steaming drunk and make a complete ass of yourself, for example. This story, posted on subreddit r/tifu back in 2015, is a much more wholesome way of doing it though, and is a good reminder to never lie to your bartender.

It began at the cinema, and a fancy one at that. In Europe, it’s quite normal to grab a couple of beers for the movie, but this place, presumably somewhere in the U.S., had wine. Wine!
Thing is, when you are buying a bottle and need two glasses, you gotta produce two separate IDs, and here things began to get interesting. What to do? This is where the crucial mistake occurred.
Now, this bartender had clearly taken a shine to this guy. Either that, or Jared is simply one of the nicest and most sympathetic people around. But how would his date react? Would she be as understanding?
What a wholesome ending to this amusing tale, and even though the date was ‘ruined,’ it was a memorable and funny experience for both of them. We can only hope that Jared wasn’t harboring any romantic hopes, and was simply a kind and empathetic person. Otherwise, there might’ve been a tinge of disappointment there!
Here’s what people had to say about the hilarious episode
oh, this is an old one. I've seen it countless times but it still makes me smile every time. That bartender was a kind soul and the fact that he put himself out there for this guy who said he was lonley- even if he wasn't - is genuinely good-hearted and well meaning. This is the content i'd like to see more of, instead of bashing people for their poor choices (even though i do enjoy that occasionally).
Jared must be a great guy. Either that or he was romantically interested and the OP misled him. I would never date him again if I were the girl he took out. Sure it’s cute and all, but a guy too lazy to get an ID and too scared of a stranger to be honest is not a very dateable guy. Then he left her sitting there with no drink because he was too much of a wimp to just be honest. Jared would be a better man for her. Someone who isn’t lazy and insecure to the point where it’s crippling.
I think more emphasis needs to be on his date he had in the first place for not getting up and leaving.
