Telling you that ‘dating is tough’ is the understatement of the year. Meeting new people is difficult enough as it is, while you’re trying to leave a good first impression. But sometimes you end up going on a date with a total creep who wastes no time in showing you their true colors.

Internet users who have gone on some truly god-awful dates opened up about their biggest disasters in a viral AskReddit thread. They revealed the most toxic, creepy things that their dates said or did, and it hurts to read. We’ve picked out their top stories for you to read. Just be careful, some of these are so bad, they might put you off dating for good.

Man in blazer talking to woman holding a cocktail, capturing a creepy moment that made people nope out of their dates. When I said I was going to run to the bathroom, he countered with, "And I'll slip something in your drink."

I didn't think jokes about [it] were very funny so I called it an early night and left for the exit rather than the bathroom.

How could a man even think that is a reasonable joke to make? Ever, yet alone on a first date.

    Young woman looks shocked while reading creepy moments on her phone during a sunny outdoor date setting After a date, not during, but I got the very disturbing message of: "I want to cut off one of your pinky toes so you will always know you belong to me."

    This was a country mile outside of my comfort zone.

    First impressions can sometimes be deceiving, and you can’t rely on them alone to judge a person’s character, values, and personality. That being said, some first impressions are 100% correct when it comes to identifying relationship red flags. Some individuals are very quick to show you their most toxic behaviors.

    At the end of the day, you should trust your gut, and, if ever in doubt, get a trusted friend or relative’s opinion about the person you’re meeting. Your health and safety should be your top priorities when dating.

    As per the Guardian, some of the worst first impression behaviors include things like your date arriving late, having a resting disappointed face, and looking very different from their profile photos. Moreover, it’s a really bad sign if they cancel the date on short notice or simply don’t turn up.

    Went on a date with a guy and had dinner at his place. After dinner, he leaned and said, "You wanna see something?" He then proceeded to play a video of him, his brother, and his passed out Mom (who he said was an alcoholic). The video started with her on the couch, and then they took turns slapping her across the face, saying things like "Take out the trash, Mom." He then laughed manically and looked at me for approval. This went on for a while, and the finalé of the video was that they splayed her out across the arm of the couch and put her own finger down her throat to vomit.

    I instinctively knew I was in danger and pretended like it was no big deal. Soon after, I made an excuse to go and never saw him again.

I snuck out of a window and called my friend to pick me up (the date drove me to his place). I got the address out of the mailbox next door. This is in like 2006 or 2007. I stayed on the street until I could see my friend's car approach. I immediately blocked the guy once I got home.

    Other questionable dating behavior, according to the Guardian, includes:

    1. Insisting on ordering food for you
    2. Criticizing their food or complaining a lot
    3. Telling you that they’re not the jealous type or that they’re “not like other guys”
    4. Constantly talking about themselves or their ex-partners
    5. Not being curious about you or agreeing with you about everything
    6. Being overly sarcastic or too self-deprecating
    7. Telling you that they’re tired

    Meanwhile, as reported by WebMD, some major toxic personality traits include inconsistent behavior, always wanting attention, not being able to be happy for you, and creating drama. What’s more, toxic individuals don’t respect others’ boundaries and avoid taking responsibility for their actions. They often try to control you and may even be violent.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Some other large warning signs that you’re with a toxic person are that you constantly feel like they’re manipulating you and that their behavior confuses you. You might also feel like you always have to defend the person, never feel fully comfortable around them, and feel bad about yourself in their presence. It’s also a bad sign if you often feel like you deserve an apology from them that never comes.

    Woman with curly hair making a creepy face showing discomfort during a weird and shocking date moment indoors. He was telling me about why he’d moved to our current state, that he moved with his ex, they’re still friends. Ok cool. While he’s talking, I do the math of their ages and realize he was 29 and she was 14 when they started “dating.” Married two years later. I started to feel nauseated and left when he went to use the bathroom.

    We planned to go to a movie and he instead drove me up the side of a mountain. It was after dark and I was secretly freaking out. I kept trying to talk to him and sometimes he would reply, other times he would just look over at me. But as time went on he just stared ahead like he was thinking about something really hard. I was a young gay man and this was NOT an ideal situation to be in since I'm from the country. I kept trying to talk about my dogs, he wouldn't look at pictures of them. I talked about my dad and my mom. My brothers. I tried to flirt a little and he wasn't really into it. He drove me to the top of this mountain and all the way back down while I tried to make occasional small talk and humanize myself.

    I'm 100 percent sure he was contemplating [end] me.

    He was nothing like his pictures (he’d obviously retouched the picture to look about 20 years younger,) he was trying to touch me on the small of my back and waist within seconds, and within fifteen minutes I was done. He insisted on ordering food, but I said I’d finish my drink and complimented his food choice to be polite. He tried to pay for my drink, but I’d already paid for it at the bar.

    He followed me out after I’d said a polite goodbye and said, “I’m going to kiss you.” I ran out of patience and said no, you’re not, and I’d like him to not contact me if he’s pushy like that. He grabbed me and tried to kiss me, and some dudes around 19-20 who were outside smoking grabbed his arms and pushed him off in the other direction, telling him to walk away and don’t come back.

    They were lovely. They even walked me to my car, practically gambolling the whole way. I thanked them, offered them some candy and cigarettes for their trouble, and they also politely offered fist-bumps, which I happily accepted.

    I didn’t hear from the guy again, to his meagre credit.

    A couple sitting on a couch during a date, with expressions hinting at awkward or creepy moments that made them nope out. Second date. Watched a movie at his apartment. Ten minutes into the movie he pauses it, turns to me, and tells me he’s dumped his long-time fiancé for me (the day after our first date), he’s in love with me, and then asks if I’m ovulating because he wants to start a family with me as soon as possible.

    I started to laugh because it was so out of nowhere I assumed he was joking, but he was not. I felt truly afraid of this person; like his whole vibe/demeanor had completely changed. I didn’t want to upset him by rushing out of his apartment so I pretended to be super tired and told him I thought it would be best if I went home to rest up so I’d be good to hang out with him the next day. He (thank god) bought it and agreed with me but asked me for “one quick favor” before I go.

    I figured I was about to be [ended] but he just wanted me to take a picture with him in front of his bedroom mirror so he could “see how beautiful we looked together.” I stood there looking in the mirror with this psycho thinking about how unbelievably stupid I was to be in this situation. As soon as he got the pic I grabbed my bag and pretty much ran for my life to my car. When I got home I checked my phone and he’d sent me a bunch of texts, some declaring his love and like 4-5 videos of himself. Creepiest person I’ve ever met by a mile.

    ETA: He was a PhD candidate at a university I also attended post-grad in Southern CA. Conventionally attractive, but talked about being having been overweight as a teen. I was injured for the two weeks we spoke before meeting (I usually insisted on meeting quickly when on the apps) and go the first date we saw a movie which was a bad idea in hindsight. He seemed totally normal. Second date we went out to dinner before going back to his place and he again seemed normal and was fine when I said it would just be a movie. I did block him when I got home and got the videos because I knew he had no idea where I lived. I probably should’ve left him unblocked but I was too freaked out and wanted to forget I ever met him. Side note: he had talked about a daughter he’d had, while in college, with a FWB who, as soon as she had the baby, completely wanted nothing to do with him. He showed me a picture of her. I now believe that woman knew he was a psycho and wanted him far away from their child.

    P.S. Not long after psycho pants I met the love of my life on an app and we’ve been married for 8 years so never give up, lol.

    People who fake cancer are my pet peeve. They don't realise the harm they do to those of us who get cancer. I was 20 and dealing with effing cancer, bald and steroids moon face and I had to let people and touch my surgically implanted under my collarbone portacath to 'prove' I really had cancer. That's the last thing a person facing cancer should have to deal with. I loathe people who lie about it.

On a first date with a woman she told me she was comfortable coming back to my place after dinner because she had done a paid background check on me and there were no red flags and that she had already driven by my place and it looked fine. She then joked about probably knowing more about me than her little sister. We did not have any more dates after that.

    Picked me up and dropped me off from my place. Date went fine, everything was going normal and we had plans for another date. When we got back to my place, I said goodbye and he locked the doors as I went to get out. I turned to ask him to unlock them, and he looked me in the eyes while saying “NEVER cheat on me,” with the coldest look I’ve ever seen on someone. Didn’t say anything else and unlocked the doors, I got out and went inside (thank god it was an apartment building and he didn’t know my unit), and blocked him on everything.

    I found out a couple years later that he was in prison for [ending] his pregnant girlfriend after accusing her of cheating on him.

    Man in a white shirt at a restaurant table appearing shocked during a creepy moment on a date. "Oh! You're half Japanese? Will you be my senpai? I want the authentic anime experience."

    This shortly followed by the anime girl giggle.

    Being half Japanese, half white American can be weird sometimes. This happened in college during my freshman year. I find the above deeply disturbing and weird. I don't like anime like that and most people, I've learned, only understand Japan because of anime and nothing else. Still weirded out to this day from that comment.

I'm *super* white with a very scottish last name and I thought he was joking, but he spent several minuets talking about how my lips "aren't white." When we left the restaurant he kept trying to light heartedly talk me into taking a ride. I turned him down kindly and kept the mood very light. Right when I thought we we're good I went to wave goodbye and this guys face totally changed. That smile dropped off his face and told me "I know where you live" then almost hit me trying to back out of the parking lot. I have never seen someone change *so quickly*.

    Those poor girls. I guarantee you that they will know this, if they don't already, that their mother doesn't care about them and only wants a son. I had a few relatives like this - one of my cousins had two older daughters and completely booted them aside in terms of attention and affection once my cousin's son was born. Then they had another son, and their lives revolved around the sons, and the daughters were basically relegated to "the domestic help." They moved out as soon as they could and never looked back.

    Not a first date, but I once met a guy in BYU Idaho (worst years of my life and now im exmo). I recognized him as having been in one of my classes, but we'd never actually met. He said: "Can I follow you home?" I think he meant to say something more acceptable like "Can I escort you home?" But that in combination with a few other bad vibes and red flags, I told him no. He proceeded to follow me anyway, so I walked to another building until he left. He did this a few more times in the following weeks, a few times even without me noticing until I was already at my dorm, and once he even waited for me outside a class we didn't even share together. I felt like I was constantly hiding from this creep. When I asked our mutual teacher what I should do, as well as the bishop I was seeing at the time, BOTH of them told me to "just give the poor boy a chance". This would go on to be one of the reasons I left BYU Idaho.

    Maybe not "creepy" per se, but odd nonetheless: I moved from NY to SC for graduate school. I was on a first date with a native "southerner" who asked me where I was from. When I said NY the first thing out of his mouth was "oh a Yankee, well you didn't win the war and don't say you did." Puzzled I said, "What war?" He replied with "The war of northern aggression." I said, what is that, I've never heard of such a thing. After more discussion I figured out he meant the Civil War!!! This was in the early 2000's. Up until that point, I had never thought more than a few minutes about the civil war, and never on a first date. But it turns out a lot of southerns think about it all the time, and apparently still don't realize the South lost the civil war. I ended that date pretty quickly and didn't date much again until after grad school.

I went on a Bumble date with a girl who worked at a dog training school for a living. She told me that working with animals has taught her a lot about psychology— not just for animals, but human psychology too. And with these learned skills, she could train me to behave how she wanted me to just like I was a dog. There was no second date.

    After the date she attempted to follow me home, I guess to ensure that I was indeed going home since I told her I couldn’t go to a 2nd location because I had work the following morning. I was on the highway around the time it was starting to get dark. And I noticed a car following me like 2 car lengths back. I didn’t know it was her until I called 911 and told them someone was following me. They let her off with a warning but she sent me several voicemails and texts saying “how dare you call the cops on me” and “I was just checking to see you weren’t entertaining other [women]” and all sorts of trauma dumping & crazy girl texts. Rightfully so, I blocked her on everything and stayed off dating apps for about 6 months

    Correction: I got off the highway and back on to make sure I was being followed, and that’s when I called 911.

    The guy who flung a glass off the table, causing the glass to shatter on the floor, at a busy bar, because I touched his hand… same guy said he didn’t want kids, but he REALLY wanted to be a step dad.

    The guy who wore a button down shirt and sweatpants to our first date and was high as a kite.

    The guy who was so nervous on the date that he couldn’t stop shaking.

    Probably more I can’t think of right now. Ten years being single has been rough.

    She was set to meet someone for a first date, maybe arranged by a friend. Before going out, he told her to wearher nicest dress - for a movie theater. When they got seated for the movie, he said "You know why I asked you to wear a dress? So I can tell our kids how beautiful you looked at our first date," and then he laid his head on her lap.

    Needless to say, he ended up not being my dad.

    Got into his new looking luxury car and everything else was normal, but the interior passenger door handle was ripped out. I saw it and immediately freaked out and called my friend to text with an emergency. I left, and for months afterward, he sent me nasty insulting messages.

    It is truly unsettling how many of these stories involve the guy thinking that "trapping" the date somewhere is a good idea and will result in a relationship. W*F

    Not on the date, but after the first date he gave me a shaving schedule 💀 and told me I was to follow it religiously. I was like, my dude, no.

    I wonder if guys who demand things like this actually understand that we can get razor burn and ingrown hairs shaving "down there" XD Doing it too often can irritate the skin and make things worse, and I imagine that would "look" worse to a shallow man than a few centimeters of hair growth would look, but I'm not shallow, so what do I know? XD I get waxed every 8 weeks or so for hygiene reasons (I have really heavy periods, let's just say) but I remember my days of shaving well. Oof, not going back to that, thanks XD

    He saw a necklace I was wearing that had been a gift from my mother and commented "I see we wear our capitalism, on chains.". When the check came he said "I won't disrespect your freedom to be a feminist by paying the bill." He seemed surprised when I didn't accept his invitation to join him at his place a block away.

    Creepy moments captured with a crying baby in a high chair holding a spoon, showing a shocking reaction during feeding. First date; guy was super weird and I was already trying to figure out an exit when a baby started crying in the busy restaurant we were in. Baby was maybe 10-15 feet away. While it was wailing pretty loudly, it wasn’t anything I hadn’t heard before. It happens, you know?

    He was visibly agitated and couldn’t focus, and suddenly he says very loudly, “Jesus Christ! Someone needs to skin that baby!” I did not get the feeling he was trying to be funny and just failed. It was very pointed, and the family heard him. I am still shocked over it to this day.

    We went for one date, and it was fine. Nothing exciting, but he was nice enough to try a second date.

    The day of the date, the weather is a bit icky. He tries to "insist" on picking me up. Hell no - not until I am much more comfortable. I declined firmly, and met him at the restaurant. The meal was mediocre, but fine. We planned on the movie theater next, which was about 10 minutes away. He, again, tries to "insist" on driving me, for my safety. I, again, decline firmly - I can drive just fine, and by now I'm getting a little weirded out by this dude continuing to insist on driving me places. I do not want to be trapped on the far side of town with this guy in case it gets weirder.

    We go to the movie, and as we're watching it, he randomly hisses loudly at other people in the theater to PLEASE SHUT UP. None of them have made more than light shuffling sounds. He tries to hold my hand, but I dodge it. After the movie is finished, he walks me to my car, and tries for a kiss. I dodge. He tries to insist on following me home to make sure I get there safely - I very firmly decline, and have now decided to ghost this person.

    After driving home, feeling paranoid the whole way that he was going to just show up in my rearview mirror, I look at my phone to find a dozen messages. It had been about 15 minutes or so. I just ignored him. Over the course of the next few days, he texted another several dozen times, with increasing anger in each message. And then he stopped, mostly. But I'd get random messages a couple times a week, where he would say things like, "Mmm. Shamrock shake. Want one, Lexi?"

    In hindsight, maybe I could have just told him "no thanks", but I don't know that it would have been enough. I'm just glad he didn't know where I lived.

    Young woman smiling inside car, wearing glasses and a white shirt, depicting a moment before a creepy date experience. A Mormon girl had me in her car stuck in the middle of traffic in the city on our way to a museum. She looks at me and goes “my elders say I’m getting too old to not be married. What do you think about short dating times of less than six months?” We were 20.

    I once went on two dates with a woman from a dating app who then called me and grilled me about talking to other women, saying she knew I had been using the app recently because she was tracking where I was using it (the app in question potentially changing your profile location based on GPS whenever you open it). She later apologized for freaking out and blamed her period. I unmatched her and we did not go on a third date.

    He decided, of his own accord, without ever mentioning, asking or discussing it with me, that we were immediately about to start a serious relationship automatically, after the first time meeting in person. Because of this, he told me I was a bad person for not having preemptively told him a ton of personal health information that he never once asked about. I clearly broke the well known HIPAA rule that every random stranger is legally required to know everyone’s private health data.

    Of course, I have dealt with FAR more creepy things from people I never went on a date with. Still trying to wrap my head around this bizarre first date guy!

    I hate when men assume that all women want kids. Like, I hate being expected to get pregnant and have kids I don’t want. If I don’t want kids, and I’m forced to have kids, I’m not going to take good care of them and that isn’t good, healthy, or okay for the kids. Men (that do this), PLEASE stop assuming that ALL women want children. Because some of us don’t.

    They gave me an old picture, then wanted to go to an out of the way restaurant. I had done my usual things. A friend knew where I was and had sent them an email with a screen grab of the profile.

    It then turned very stalkery when I got there. She had tried to find me but I didn't have the normal social media and the little bit I did have was locked tight. She didn't have last name or phone number. She was desperate to find out where I lived and not just which town or area. She kept talking to the waitresses about us being in a committed relationship. I was polite but got out of there quick. Made sure to drive back on empty roads to make sure wasn't followed and then jumped on the highway.

    Never heard back from her.. which was a relief.

    This was on a Saturday and the following weekend I was traveling to see a friend. I told her I would be back Sunday morning so we planned to meet that Sunday night.

    My flight got cancelled so I asked her if we could meet the next night. She told me I could just tell her I didn’t want to see her anymore. This wasn’t true. I sent her a screen shot of the cancelled flight and she told me not to contact her again. That was that….

    At the end, she said she couldn’t wait to “Play It Again” on our next date.
