A lot of us can agree dating these days is not an easy task, and finding "the one" might seem like an impossible thing to do. People are constantly lying about themselves on dating apps, showing up and acting crazy, or just straight-up ghosting their dates. And meeting someone in real life doesn't always work out like in the movies and can even be dangerous.

From these tragic events come pretty unhinged dating stories, and that's why when an internet user asked "What's something that happened on a first date that made you decide against a second date?" it went viral with people sharing all kinds of absurd things. Some stories are quite funny, while others serve as a perfect example of a "red flag" that you should run (and far away) from.

He took it out. And I don't mean this in a funny "unexpected Seinfeld" kind of way (although I suppose it IS that). I mean he leaned across the table and whispered "I'm out." I said "excuse me?" For some reason my first thought was "out of the closet." He said "out, under the table. Look under the table." And, like an idiot, I LOOKED." Then he said "that's what you do to me." I said "this is what you do to me" and I left. I'm a people pleaser so, to this day, I'm proud of myself for walking away in the middle of dinner.

We talked with Professor & Ph.D. Director Jennifer A. Theiss about first dates and dating in general, and we asked her why she thinks a lot of first dates end badly: "First dates are challenging because they are characterized by uncertainty. We have questions and doubts about what our partner will think of us, how we might feel about them, whether or not there will be more dates in the future, what we should say, and how we should behave. High levels of uncertainty can make it difficult to communicate effectively and make sense of a partner's messages and behaviors. This makes for an uncomfortable interaction on first dates, which many people presume is evidence that they are not a match and might discount their partner as a result, but really it is a normal and expected aspect of these first encounters with a new potential partner."

    I picked her up and she asked me if we could stop by her moms house so she could "run in and grab something." I said sure. Made the stop. She went inside. 5 minutes later she comes out hustling towards the car with a carseat and her mom chasing after her yelling. She opens the car door and throws the carseat(which i now see has a baby in it) and starts yelling at me to drive. I freaked and just turned my car off and took the keys out of the ignition. Her mom called the cops and they came and questioned all of us for a good while. Turns out she had lost custody due to drug use and was trying to use me as a way to get her kid back. We never made it to dinner and I just went home after the cops left.

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them The guy told me he would still be together with his kids mum if she had apologized for what she did wrong. Out of curiosity I asked what she did wrong? Was expecting something like she cheated, ya know something that actually needed apologising for. Nope. Apparently she kept nagging one day and wouldn't shut up, so, he tied her to a computer chair and went out for three hours and left her there. I said it doesn't sound like she was the one who needed to apologize and left.

    Jennifer A. Theiss also gave some tips and tricks for first dates: "Because uncertainty is high during first dates, one of the goals of our communication is to reduce that uncertainty so that we can form impressions and make decisions about whether or not we want to proceed with future interaction. Seeking information is the primary way that we might go about reducing our uncertainty, and the main way that we go about obtaining information is by asking questions. My advice for first dates is to ask a lot of questions. The answers you receive from your partner will likely provide substantial information that will quell uncertainty, either positively or negatively. They might share information that gives you a positive impression and reduces your uncertainty in ways that make you want more contact, or they might share information that reduces your uncertainty by confirming negative or undesirable qualities that you are sure you don't want in a partner."

I had already explained to him that I get very anxious in public and would like to get to know him better before going out. "No, we're going out. You're going to get dressed up. You're going to do your hair." Umm. No sir. I will not. Wild.

    Jennifer A. Theiss shared the main red flag to look out for while on your first date: "One red flag is when your date asks no questions about you. This lack of curiosity on their part suggests that they aren't attempting to reduce uncertainty by learning more about you, which may mean that they are not thinking about the potential for future interaction or a long-term relationship."

    Nothing obvious or overt but from the minute we sat down to eat the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I felt unsafe. He was polite, listened, very polished, but could not shake that feeling. I drove to the restaurant to meet so he did not know where I lived. After dinner he asked for another date and I just said no I don’t think we are a good match. Gave him money to pay for my half, said goodby when I got to the door turned around and he was staring at me with an expression I never hope to see again. I ran to my car, moved it to another spot, and waited until he left before I left so he could not follow. Restaurant was on an isolated road so that was safer then having him catch up to me. Found out about a year later he was sent to prison for the assault and rape of 2 different woman . It happened on first dates. Never used a dating site again

He touched her which is not ok. You don’t touch your waitress. Made aggressive ‘looks’ at another table where a family was dining (they were what looked to be Indian) and commented loudly that they were what was wrong with America. Had multiple tequila shots. His cologne stank to high heaven. I was so embarrassed. I was raised to be patient & polite but finally I was like ‘wtf am I doing still here? I stood up and left leaving my half eaten meal on the table. He yelled insults at me as I was leaving then when I was out the door texted me. Pure trash.

Often, a potential partner is quickly excluded based on physical appearance alone or a few pieces of basic information. Most daters would benefit from casting a more wide open net and not being too discriminant during this early vetting process. Give yourself the chance to learn more about a potential partner by going on a first date and giving them the opportunity to share more personal information about themselves. There may be a lot of potential missed connections when people are quick to exclude people based on limited information about them."

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them Very recent- asked when I would get a real career. I love what I do, I'm a union stagehand in a major entertainment city. I have been in my industry for over 20 years, toured the country, toured the world, make a comfortable living. Yeah- no. That's pretty demeaning and I'm out.

    Being a union stagehand IS a real job, and a really interesting job at that. Cripes, I would’ve had soooo many questions—-not insults—-for OP if I was on the date with them. What shows have you worked? Ever traveled with a touring company of a show? What actor is the nicest to the stagehands? So many more. Definitely wouldn’t have been lacking for conversation.

    Yes, it is. It also may be part of the reason they're Still involuntarily celibate. Only Rosie Palm puts up w/ That level of disrespect. That "negging" 💩 is to determine if they've found a semi-willing victim whose self-esteem has been So Trampled she'll put up w/ more abuse. Luckily, therapy is more widely available & embraced these days than it was in the past. The result is that those broken by past abuse are more likely to seek pro help in healing, greatly reducing the pool of doormats available to these tools. They can all just date/torment each other now. The only people who appreciate doormats are creeps w/ dirty feet.

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them Went to dinner with a girl who I'd been crushing on for quite some time. It seemed to be going well, and we ended up back at her place, watching a movie or something. Out of nowhere, her boyfriend (of whom I was not aware) came back from out of town and stopped in unexpectedly. He and I had a super awkward conversation for a few minutes, then the two of them disappeared into another room for a minute or two. She came back, and said something to the effect of, "I don't have a place for you. I'm sorry." I just kind of got in my car and drove home, with one of the strangest feelings that I'd ever felt. At some point, a few minutes into the journey, I couldn't contain myself and busted out laughing.

    We also spoke to the online user Whitneywestmoreland who started this interesting thread, and they shared why they think first dates are awkward: "First dates can be awkward because, let's face it, you're trying to determine if you're romantically compatible with a relative stranger. Having said that, I think many of the stories shared in that post were uniquely awful. They weren't necessarily something you would expect on a typical first date."

    They also shared some tips for your first date: "As cheesy as it sounds, be yourself, be honest and don't waste your time or theirs if you don't think it's going to work out. Most importantly, if the other person isn't interested in you, don't think of it as a 'rejection.' Don't take it personally. You're looking for a match. Just because two people don't fit together, there's no reason for either one to feel spurned. People put far too much stock into the opinion of someone who barely knows them."

    Met a girl at a friend’s party. We were both in our mid-20s. Ended up spending three hours talking, and she was so funny, charming, gorgeous, and carefree. I asked her out and got a wonderful “I would love to!” from her. I show up about four days later at the restaurant she picked, one within walking distance of her place. She arrived about five minutes later. “Nice place,” I say, as I get her chair for her. “Since it’s so close, do you eat here often?” She scowls and responds, “You know, you ask too many f****** questions.” I was floored. Everything continued downhill from there. Within about 20 minutes, she just got up and left. I felt as if she had failed to tell me the other night that she had an evil twin, and that’s who showed up this evening. Later, when I ran into my buddy, I asked what the heck was up. “Oh yeah,” he said, “she’s a piece of work until she gets a few drinks in her. Then she’s adorable.” Thanks. Thanks a lot, buddy.

    This is sad... if you are an alcoholic then no one will ever know your real personality until you get yourself through detox and learn to live as yourself, sober. Until then you will probably feel terrible until you have a few drinks and be just nasty to everyone. She probably could become a decent person again.

    Whitneywestmoreland talked about some of the red flags they look out for: "These are red flags for me, but any guy who brags or likes to talk about being an 'alpha' is an automatic 'no' for me. If he brings up his ex repeatedly, he's clearly not over her yet. There are other red flags (if he seems too controlling, jealous or possessive) but those aren't as immediately obvious."

    They also shared an amusing story about their horrible first date: "Only one. I was staying with my parents for a bit, after college. I came down to dinner one day to find my parents sitting at the table with a random guy. Every extra chair had been removed from the table except for the one next to the guy so I would have to sit next to him. It still took me entirely too long to figure out this was their attempt at setting me up. No prior warning. Nothing. It was an awkward dinner with mom, dad and Yashar."

I didn’t really know what to do but you can’t just say “oh your family looks fun and I slept with your sister not too long ago. Show me more pics of your dog, is she a lab mix?” I cut the date short after dinner and hoped it’d just fizzle out, but they found out. It was cool though, just an awkward coincidence.

    The online user opened up about what they think the main mistakes in dating are these days: "I couldn't begin to tell you the mistakes people make in dating nowadays. I'm sure it varies. I've had friends comment on how, back in the day, you would meet people face-to-face and...while you may not have been initially attracted to someone, their personality/sense of humor would often win you over. Now that a lot of dating is done online, people are often automatically dismissed based on appearance alone. So two people who may have connected, had they chatted for 15 minutes, never get the chance to meet. The same applies when you dismiss people whose jobs don't pay as much as your own, because you assume you wouldn't have anything in common. When a lot of focus is put on superficial matters, you're going to dismiss a lot of people right off the bat, and that severely limits your options."

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them I asked about his hobbies and he said "I play the bagpipes". I thought that was really cool and asked him to tell me more. He says, "Are you sure?" I said "Yes" He proceeds to go on about bagpipes for the rest of the night. How he felt playing the bagpipes was his calling in life, how he needed to carry his grandfather's legacy (who also played the bagpipes), how his dream was to play bagpipes for the queen, his favourite brand of bagpipes, the anatomy of bagpipes...every topic was somehow turned back to bagpipes. To be fair, I did say yes to him telling me more. I hope he's doing well and found someone just as passionate about bagpipes.

    In residency I had a patient with undiagnosed Asperger's/ASD. I was so young and naive. I kept trying to get him to make social contacts- he was depressed. After about a year I finally realized he loves coin collections and truly has no use for people. It was the loss of his coin business that triggered the depression. Not lack of social contacts. I left a note in the chart for the next resident who got him. The resident called and thanked me for the note saying he too would've wasted a lot of time trying to increase this guy's social contacts.

    I'm autistic and have obsessive interests I'm incredibly passionate about, but I learned to recognise when I'm boring people or making them feel weird. So, like this guy, I will only launch into enthusiastic talk about one of those interests after explicitly asking for permission. And even then I'll occasionally stop and say "If I'm boring you, please just tell me". People like us might be a bit much, but we can definitely be educational if nothing else, heh. I'm a walking encyclopedia of movie related trivia.

    He was super pushy about me having a third drink and got mad when I refused. ETA: I totally see why lots of people are replying saying he probably drugged my drink, but I do not think that is the case, as I never left either of my first 2 beers unattended and he had been pestering me to order a third beer, which is what I refused. I am fairly sure he was trying to get enough drinks into me to lower my inhibitions, not to drug me himself, but regardless his behaviour was inappropriate and a huge red flag. The fact that he got angry when I refused to drink more was the reddest flag.

    There's also the type of person who, even as a friend, will push drinks on you. They'll say stuff like they don't trust people who don't drink, that they think they are 'watching them' etc. This comes from having an alcohol addiction and wanting everyone else to drink just as much so they don't feel bad about it..

    A guy cracked a joke about feeding my cat arsenic. I didn’t even finish the date, just got up and left.

    A friend of mine once made a comment that you should hit an animal when they don’t behave, I was shocked but eventually forgot about it. She came to my house several years later, I was petting my cat and she started petting too. I told her to stop because my cat didn’t like strangers, she didn’t stop and my cat hit her on the wrist (just a warning tap, no blood drawn) and she punched my cat in the face. In response I punched her in the face, got her kicked out of the friend group and never spoke to her again. To this day I think about her and all the poor animals she owns, she lives on a farm.

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them 1)He tried to force a kiss. 2) He tried to get me to agree to marry him the next week. No, he wasn't an immigrant. 3) He said women were stupid and would believe anything he told them. I am a woman. 4) He said it was OK to drown puppies. It was "actually humane." 5) He swore that it was impossible to get AIDS if you were straight. Found out a week later that he knew the whole time he was HIV positive. That's just some of them... Edit to add: Y'all have me laughing here! No, not all the same guy. These are various different men throughout my lifetime, and in no particular order. I was writing them down as they came to mind. Can't believe I nearly forgot the one on #5. Scariest of them all. He tried way too hard to get me to go home with him. Glad common sense won the day. I was 16, he was 18.

    I agreed to meet a guy at my local where I'd feel safe. I got there a little before him & ordered a glass of wine. He came in and sat down. We start with the usual getting to know you stuff & I asked him what he did for a living (it wasn't on his profile). I a really nasty voice he says, "Why? So you can figure out how much money I make. Maybe I should just show you my bank statement." I literally said, "Wow. F*ck you", threw $5 on the table for my wine & walked out. I waited around the corner for him to leave and then went back in. Both bartenders were friends of mine and could not believe what they had just witnessed. (They'd saved my wine for me, too).

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them Two times: Farmer dude: (showing my age) added me on MySpace. Chatted awhile, I can appreciate a country boy. Seemed pleasant. Wanted to meet at McDonalds. Cool, I’m not hard to please, let’s get some Big Macs and chat. We talked for about 10 minutes and clearly it wasn’t gonna work - he was almost completely silent. Wouldn’t ask questions, wouldn’t eat. Just sat there. I told him it was nice to meet him, but I had to get home. Later that night I got about 20 messages telling me how he was into BDSM and wanted me to come over and “puke that Mac sauce all over his balls.” Yeah, that’s a block. Counting Crows dude: Met the guy on a Counting Crows online forum (lmao again, showing my age) and he happened to live 1/2 hour away. Cool, let’s grab drinks at [local bar] and see where it goes. I get there, can’t find him anywhere, figured I was stood up… then the lights dimmed and he walked out onstage, drunk as hell, slurring every other word/proceeded to play “Round Here” and stopped halfway through to vomit on himself. Now I can never hear that song without cracking up… *Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hLLLLLLLLLLL (just throws up everywhere)* Odd that both instances involved puking to some degree.

    When I was in high school, some girl from another school got mad and got in her car and ran into a girl from my school. She pinned the girl to the side of a building with her car. She survived with a broken pelvic bone. She was a typical mean girl. She was the head cheerleader and missed the rest of the basketball season and I think she ran track. She was nicer to everyone after that though. I wonder if this was the same girl that ran her down. Probably not.

    This story is always fun to tell Basically, we got back to her place after dinner and were getting slightly freaky on the couch. As things started escalating, she pulls out a giant glass jar (like the ones with the finger loop thing that pirates put rum in) half full of a clear liquid. My dumbass asked her if it was moonshine or vodka or something. She then proceeds to explain to me that it’s pure GHB and that she has a fetish about getting drugged off of it before having sex, and she said that with a completely serious face. For those of you who don’t know, GHB is a date rape drug. She then went to the restroom and I noped out of there so fast that I practically levitated off the couch. Never spoke to her again.

    This is back before the term “catfishing” was a thing. Lilly was supposed to be a 22yo woman, with me being a 24yo guy at the time and used to being surrounded by quirky people, so her online messages never set off any major flags. I drove by her place to pick her up at night, so i never saw her til she was in my car. First, Lilly informed me she preferred to be called by her demon name, Lillith. Lillith was 50% demon, 40% vampire, 5% werewolf, 3% human, 2% other. She was also super tiny, under 100llbs/45kg. And instead of being 22, she just had her birthday last week and turned 17. Also, was suuuuper pregnant, 7 months along, which made her belly bigger than the rest of her. With child #3. There are so many other details, but those are just the bits from her self-introduction.

    Child number 3 at 17? So child number 2 was definitely conceived when she was 16, and, unless numbers 1 and 2 are twins, child number 1 most likely when she was 15? That's not a red flag, that's an ocean liner with a bright red hull.

    No, child two likely was conceived at 15. Typical gestation is 40 weeks, and since she was so small, there is a good chance of C-section along with labor earlier than 40 weeks, but there would still be at minimum 6 week between birth and next baby's conception, and at 17 she was super pregnant so probably 6 months or more. Maaaybe still 15 for conception of first too ? 😫

    OMG. One guy said on his profile that he was height/weight proportionate. Yeah, if he were 8 feet tall. He was easily 100+ pounds overweight, not fat shaming, I just didn't find him attractive AT ALL. Oh - & his online picture was probably 15 years out of date.

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them One was the time I took this girl to dinner and she could not stop staring at our waiter. I'll grant her one thing - I'm a guy and can admit this guy was probably totally hot for anyone who prefers men. Square-jawed and muscled college athlete type. I get it. But I didn't appreciate that she literally craned her neck every time the kitchen door swung open to see if he was walking out. Eventually I gave her enough cash to pay for my part of the meal, told her I'd noticed (as though I couldn't have), suggested to her that she could get his contact info when she paid the bill, and left. Edit - thanks for the awards everyone, this was a first date I hadn't thought about in decades and now I get awards for it at least. Cheers everyone, and may all your first dates go more smoothly.

    His card was declined for $11 at a coffee place he suggested (which he had me drive 6 miles to get to because he wasn’t comfortable going out of his neighborhood). When I offered to pay for it he insisted on swiping the card a second time, for the same result. He was terribly embarrassed the rest of the date and it was just very uncomfortable. Or there’s that time that conductor at the Houston orchestra who also fancied himself a home chef invited me to a lavish dinner party with his close friends which was an extraordinary meal and just really lovely… only for him to present me with some “gifts” afterwards: a leash and a gradient set of butt plugs. I had no idea a gentleman could ruin an evening so deftly til then.

    She ordered a $100+ steak and lobster meal and got shitfaced, I had to pay for the whole thing because she didn't even bring her purse. Almost made me crash while driving back to hers because she was horny and wanted me to finger her while I was driving so she put her leg across me and accidently kicked the steering wheel (and pouted when I told her to wait.) Threw up when we got to her place. Told me to sleep on the couch (wasn't expecting to stay the night at all). So I snuck out in the middle of the night and texted her saying thanks but no thanks, and she proceeded to insult and berate me, then switch to saying she's willing to work it out if I am, then switched back to insults again when I still said no thanks. She was 10 years older than me but acted like she was fresh out of highschool...

    While we were having lunch we ran into some friend of hers I didn't know and he stopped to say hi and their brief conversation somehow brought up that she owed the guy a meal because he'd paid for their last lunch together, so she offered to pay for his lunch to square it away and he agreed. He ordered something to go and they told the waitress she'd pay for it, they both said their goodbyes, and the guy left us alone to go wait for his lunch at some other table. So far so good, though their conversation was a bit strange it did seem like it came up organically, it didn't needlessly drag on, and the guy was nice at all times and also polite enough to make himself scarce as soon as possible instead of inserting himself into our lunch date with the excuse that he was waiting for his food. So we continued our conversation and everything seemed fine, until some time later after the friend had already left and it was time to settle our check, and I realized this girl obviously expected me to pay for the whole thing including the lunch she offered to pay for her friend as a way to pay him back for the favor he did her. Now, even if the friend hadn't ordered a pretty pricey meal that cost more than the rest of our check put together (and he had done exactly that), it didn't sit well with me how she had shamelessly decided to pay back him back with my money in what seemed like a deliberate scam. So I paid for the whole thing in order to avoid making a scene, but later brought it up and told her that it wasn't cool. She made it clear that she saw nothing wrong with it and said I was being cheap and childish, so I thanked her for her honesty and told her we were done and I wasn't going to be calling her again, she tried to argue that I was overreacting but I held firm and blocked her a couple of days later because she insisted on texting me to convince me that I was wrong and we should go out again. Some people really live in an alternate dimension.

    My brother makes a very decent living and is quite generous. He took the family (7) out to our favorite Mexican restaurant for my birthday about 4 years ago. It's a little more upscale than some, so obviously a bit pricier. My BIL couldn't make it, but my sister & niece were there. As we're getting ready to leave, our waitress comes out with a bag "to-go". My brother was like, "Who else are we feeding?" and my sister says she ordered dinner for Jon since he had to work. Yeah, without asking my brother, she just went ahead and ordered a $35 meal for her husband. My brother is far too much of a gentleman to have made a scene, but I (60f) sure as hell ain't. I didn't want to embarrass HIM, so I just leaned over and told her what an a*****e move that was. She just kind of shrugged & didn't even bother to thank him. Not surprisingly we don't really have anything to do with her anymore.

    Back in college a guy my jerk sister’s rat fink boyfriend set me up with took me to the public library. I’m a good sport who likes to read so that wasn’t a deal breaker. What was the worst was fighting him off when he tried to get a grope in the YA section, listening to him brag about frisbee golf and then making me WALK a mile from said library for Chinese. He ordered $60 worth of food I didn’t want and had the gall to pretend to search for his wallet when he had a square wallet shaped lump in the back pocket of his jeans. After admitting he wasn’t going to pay for the food he ordered he talked about all the “activities” we could do together in his dorm room. I didn’t say anything. I just paid for the food and let him walk me to his dorm. When we got there I said goodnight and left with the entire Santa sack of food. Had a good cry on the walk home once I was out of earshot of his swearing. My sister and her boyfriend chewed me out for being a b***h until I showed them my fridge full of egg rolls and explained that I hoped they liked Chinese because my monthly food budget they mooched off of was spent. In defense of the Chinese place they made excellent orange chicken but that was by far the worst date I’ve ever had. I hope his frisbees melted in the sun.

    Anger. When I was looking to get married, I went on a lot of one-dates-and-we're-done. There were a lot of angry women in their early 30s.

    He referred to every woman as a c**t and we aren’t in a country where that is common and harmless. His ex was a c**t, his aunt was a c**t, some random author he was telling me about for some reason was a c**t, etc. C**t doesn’t really bother me but the way he said it was very aggressive and angry. After that he decided to argue with me about sports and politics and berate me for my choices in those areas. No need for a second date after that!

So at the end of the date, he asked how I thought it went and I said I didn't feel a click / match. And he said, yeah, he was missing the 'wow-factor'. So I laughed my a*s off (slightly offended) in the car home, Gosh, no idea I was auditioning for a contest. I was happy we only went for drinks, but even that felt a bit too long.

    Best way to lose weight is to get rid of someone telling you to lose weight. (Unless it's your doctor telling you you need to lose wight for medical reasons. Then you should probably listen.)

    Or once in a while family. Diabetes runs in families so if you tell your kids about it, it's for health. Just in a nice way or your own experience, not saying someone needs to lose weight

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them So many. But I’ll say the one where the guy was kind and polite, but wanted to move way too fast (not sex). Grabbed my chin and tried to turn my head for a kiss while we were watching a movie (Surrogates, with Bruce Willis, if you’re wondering), he didn’t try again after I pulled away though. Also mentioned he should get to know the state where I grew up and my family lived, since he’d be meeting them soon. He had also catfished with a pic of his older brother, which was sad to me since he was really cute himself. He insisted on walking me to my car (I had parked near the attendant in a garage, glad I made that decision), and while I was getting in asked if he could tell his mom he had a girlfriend (we were both in our early 20s). Poor guy. Since he was just over-enthusiastic and not an outright creep or jerk, I did email him telling him why there wouldn’t be a second date, saying he came on too strong, but wished him well. I hope he found someone. I also kind of wondered if there was a cultural thing I wasn’t aware of (he was Indian), but can’t say either way. ETA: by “cultural thing” I meant if meeting families so soon was an expectation, not the trying to kiss or move fast part. Sorry for any confusion!

    I do think that a lot of Indian men have unrealistic expectations about how quickly American romantic relationships move.......and that this is because of Hollywood movies! In the movies, so many couples have instant attraction, fall in love at first sight, kiss right away, etc.

The ones who are still interested are who you want to date anyway.

    I'm assuming that person thinks: "If I put in a more flattering photo/description of myself, my date will find out that I lied, but if they decide to stay for the date, they might discover that they like me anyway, so at least I'll have a shot. If I put in an accurate photo/description of myself, nobody's going to swipe right on me, so I'll never even get a chance to make them like me."

    I matched with a guy who said he was 6' and had a masters degree. He shows up in a beat up pickup truck with paint cans and ladders in the back. He gets out of the truck and he's my height (5'7"). Before you get on my case about being a snob, I would have been happy with his true job (painter/handyman) and the fact that he was my height. I'm a bit of a handy lady with power tools and have flipped 3 houses in my time. A conversation about drywall and tile floors vs laminate would have been a good date for me. What I couldn't get past was the fact that he had lied about nearly everything he said about himself. Including his real name.

Full story: Without my consent she was being obnoxiously rough during sex, to the point of my face and back are bleeding and I'm getting angry because I kept telling her she was being too rough and she said "stop being such a pussy" so she then shoved her fingers in my mouth and then down my throat, I gagged and said "you have to stop, youre making me gag" and she said "just go with it" and was forcefully trying to shove her fingers in my mouth and I was like "I don't like that please stop" and she said "STOP BEING A F*****G PUSSY AND JUST PUKE IN MY MOUTH" and I was like "ughhhh what?!?!?" And she said "WHEN A B***H TELLS YOU TO PUKE IN HER MOUTH JUST F*****G DO IT" this is all during sex btw.... So then I faked an orgasm and rolled over and pretended to sleep all night 😅 the next morning she woke up and looked at me all angry and said "well.... OK I guess I'm gonna go now" and she left.

    You had every right to just kick her out, instead of pretending to sleep. If you tell someone to stop being so rough and they ignore that, then they are really crossing a boundary, that is not okay at all. But speaking up when someone crosses your boundaries, is sometimes easier said than done. Many times when people are assaulted or their boundaries are crossed by someone, they are so shocked and confused by it, they can't believe that that actually happened, they can't believe someone actually did that to them, so they just pretend everything's fine. That's why sometimes rape victims walk out of a party without telling anyone they were just raped. So I am not going to judge this person for faking and pretending to be asleep, he was probably really not expecting this situation, and just didn't know what to do and didn't realize that he was allowed to stick up for himself and throw her out.

    I went on a date with a man who I'd previously met on a night out. He seemed nice so I was looking forward to the evening. We went for a meal first and as we were talking I kept noticing he kept doing this weird shoulder twich. I don't know if he was even aware he was doing it but it quickly started to be annoying as I couldn't keep my eyes off his shoulder. He then started telling me a story of how he used to be in the army and his wife, who was also in the army, had been murdered. They had a child together and he had brought her up on his own. This was a horrific story and sat in stunned silence as I just didn't know what to say other than I was sorry that had happened. After the meal we went to have a drink in a pub across from the restaurant. He immediately picked out a bloke in a red top and started saying he shouldn't be around here because it wasn't his territory. He then pulled a knuckle duster out of his pocket and put it on his hand all while staring at this bloke who was just having fun with his friends and hadn't once looked over. The red flags were literally smacking me in the face so I made some excuses and left. I only dared tell him by text that I didn't want another date.

    Guess I’ll repost this here. She kept talking about the "emergency d**k" she had stashed around the city. She was like "I've been really busy with [grad] school but I don't go without. I have plenty of emergency d**k around town." And when I say she kept going on, I mean she KEPT GOING ON. She was telling me about the two guys downtown, three in the suburbs, one near campus, and two in her apartment complex. It honestly sounded like I was new to town and she was giving me a rundown of all the best places to visit. Just weird. **EDIT:** She said she was looking to settle down into a relationship (whereas she had only been in situationships before). She also said she had a “virgin heart”.

    If you run in to the people you have serious beef with, I'm not sure you could ignore that. If that hadn't come up before, don't think it's their entire personality. Unless it's drama-queening, that would be a turn-off.

    50 First-Date Horror Stories From People Who Suffered Through Them He told me he loved me BEFORE the first date, after we had talked for approximately one day via text. No idea why I even went on the date after that, when I had already decided there would not be a second. It was extremely awkward. This guy could not carry a conversation, constantly tried to hold my hand, and then told me that he was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't trying to get him to pay for things because all his friends had told him I would. Yikes

    Really nice guy, we hit it off. Talked on the phone for hours, had similar values, decide to meet up for dinner at a pretty nice Italian place. He’s pretty massively overweight (400+), I am fat too (mid 200’s) so I didn’t really care. He also tells me at some point during our phone calls that he’s a diabetic which I’m leery of for late 20’s but we were getting along so well I thought it could be something I could be okay with. We sit down to dinner where be proceeds to order 3 cans of coke for himself, and the largest plate of food with extra sides. This was shocking to me because I’m actually really healthy for my weight, and it can be mostly attributed to childhood poverty and autoimmune disease. Like I’m fat but I’m trying my best to be healthy. I have perfect blood work, go to the doctor regularly, workout a couple times a week, cook most of my meals at home from fresh ingredients, etc. My concerns with him stemmed from the lack of care for himself, and the possibility of needing to care for him long term if I continued to see him. I wanted a partner, not someone who wasn’t making the changes after such a serious diagnosis as Type 2 diabetes. I told him after that I wasn’t feeling a connection, and honestly felt like I was betraying the fat community by rejecting him (my therapist heard a bunch about this), but I wasn’t attracted to his lack of care for himself.

    I feel the same about heavy smokers or drinkers. I may like you and you may have a great personality, but when you don’t care about yourself, it’s a huge turn off. I totally understand the not wanting to end up being their caretaker when the other person is willfully putting themselves in that situation.

    It would have been better for both of them if she had been honest. It may get have been what he needed, and hearing it from someone he gets along with and has health challenges would probably work better than doctors, parents, etc. Really, it's no different than a thin couple not working out because one is workout focused while the other handles health easily without needing a heavily exercise focused life style

    P**s off. I'm just like OP. Overweight due to health issues and medication. I eat a healthy diet. Other than the fact that I have two auto-immune diseases, all my health markers are in perfect range. Blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc are all perfect. Meanwhile, my super skinny mom has high blood pressure, pre diabetic, and is on cholesterol meds. She also loves her sugar and HAS to have pastries for breakfast. But you'd probably insist she's healthy because she looks the part.

    She showed up drunk to a casual daytime first date, at a bar I frequented heavily. Proceeded to order a premium skinny rocks margarita and downed it. Ordered a second one. Conversation was all over the place, I was pretty much done. I went to the bathroom, came back, she had another margarita being served. She went to the bathroom after that and the bartender (who I was pretty cool with) flat out asked me, “Sea Vast, bro, is she your date? When she ordered the 3rd one I said she needed to slow down, she told me it’s OK, you were paying and you’d drive her home.” I told him I’m going to bounce, if she doesn’t pay her tab text me and let me know so I can pay it later. He was cool with that. So I left. She did pay her tab. She randomly texted me a few days later and asked if I was doing OK. I did not respond.

    This was weird but years ago I went out on a date with a guy that voicefished(?) me. Like catfished with his voice. He had already sent me a video that he was talking in, but when I met him he sounded completely different with a slight lisp. Which I would have gotten over except he ended up taking me to a gas station to talk to his friend at the pump for 45 minutes. I faked an emergency and went home. I have had much worse first dates than that but that one left me flabbergasted.

Have a Coke, get a feel for who she is, chat a bit more. Sure. Innocent enough." Turns out, she wanted to enjoy conjugal relations with me. In her bedroom. With her 8 year old kid who had just gotten home from school watching TV in the living room. I declined the opportunity and left pretty abruptly. And that was that.

Seriously though, if you lock the bedroom door and you're silent during sex, and it's one of those kids who will watch tv for hours if left undisturbed, the kid's not going to know what you were doing.

    It was my first date. I was 17, working as an office assistant's helper. The guy (20) also worked there. I don't remember what his job title was. He asked me to the drive-in movies. He came to the house, and met my mom. Did the whole song and dance to her about taking good care of me, get me home on time, bla bla bla, all that c**p. I was still nervous though, so I arranged with 2 friends to go to the same movie in their car. My date didn't know. They parked 3 cars down from us. After we parked, the guy is telling me to relax, he just wanted company for the movie, he respected me. So I'm thinking cool. The movie started. I don't think the opening credits had finished and he was all over me. It was like he grew 4 extra arms in seconds! I push him off me and say WTF!? He apologized and said he was sorry. He thought I'd like it and he couldn't help himself because I was so cute (whatever). I told him I didn't like it and to keep his hands to himself. I get maybe 2 drinks of my soda down and he tries again. Now I'm pissed! I get out of the car, throw my drink at him, and walk off. I go to my friends car and get in. The guy didn't see where I went because he was dealing with dripping soda on him and his car. My friends and I left. The following Monday at work was really awkward and he avoided me like the plague. This is why to this day I've never again dated anyone I've worked with.

I know some people have interesting laughs and that wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't constant from beginning to end. After that she put on Iron Man and same thing, witch cackling the entire movie. There's a point in the movie where a characters phone goes off and the ringtone is an old iron man theme which made me chuckle, at which she turns to me and says: "you laugh at all the weirdest parts!" The second the movie was over I got out of there and did not see her again.

    She showed up with her friend(ok, I guess), already buzzed and offered me weed. Admitted that she wasn't divorced about 30 minutes into it. Had me take her to a dance club where she promptly f****d off for 20 minutes to talk to "someone" (she was a regular I found out and knew EVERYONE). I drove her back to her car and told her to get out.

    Did she go to score, or to score?

    Went on a first date to an upscale restaurant and bar. We met at the bar first for a drink to get to know each other and then I was going to suggest moving over to the restaurant and get a table. It was a fairly large place with a large bar area. During our “drink” I kind of noticed that she was always looking across the bar at this older lady and the older lady was looking back- it also appeared they were communicating with facial expressions… I wasn’t sure, but it seemed very odd to me. After our drink we moved to a small booth in the restaurant area to get some dinner. We were getting along great, but I kept noticing odd facial expressions on the occasion from her, but the place had “mood lighting”so it was kind of dark so I wasn’t sure. After we finished our appetizer I excused myself to go to the bathroom. - which was behind me- I noticed that the older lady from across the bar was sitting at a small table behind us.. she was trying to hide, but not doing such a great job. When I got back to the table I asked her if she know who the lady was, and that I thought they were “communicating”… she confessed that the lady was her mother and that she always brought her on first dates so she could give her an opinion and rate her date… so far I was doing well and her mother thought I was great. I asked for the check, paid the tab ( it included drinks and dinner for her mother) and cut my losses…. On the way out I told her to lose my number.

    Our daughter met someone on Tinder when she was 17 and arranged to meet him at the local pub. We insisted we also go along to the pub because we wanted to make sure she was safe. We kept ourselves discreetly away, though, and didn't interfere or let her date know we were there. We certainly weren't rating him, we were just being cautious because it was her first ever Tinder date.

    This is where it might not be crossing a line. Still, not very fair. Imagine if your daughters date was having his buddies do the same. Discretely hiding out to make sure he was “safe.” A group of strangers all there to observe your 17yo girl on a blind date.

    I have mixed feelings on this one. To some people it could be considered weird but I kinda understand why she did it. I wouldn't be communicating during the date though

    The lack of disclosure. Tell me your fam or friends are doing this and assure it’s a group date, not a free meal, so I can opt out beforehand.

    This would not have been a red flag for me. Women have to be careful, unfortunately. Though the obvious communication between them was not so nice.

    Having a friend or family member there to make sure you're safe: totally fine. Having a friend or family member there to rate your date: not okay.

    My aunt used to pretend to be my cousin on dating apps so she could check them out beforehand. She asked me to double date with my cousin and her date's friend (safety in numbers thing). They never asked again when I let my date know about the situation, who rightly told his friend, who also didn't want further dates with her. My aunt has never forgiven me for this betrayal.

    Dude forgot we were supposed to go to lunch. Blamed it on being overwhelmed moving and lost track of time. We still met up and he was on his phone scrolling videos for the most part and even left the table to take a phone call from his roommate. He was hot, but not that hot.

    Makes me wonder if that was supposed to be some kind of a PA power move.

    I met her parents on the first date and she was terrified of me. Most awkward date ever.

    Bought her a whole meal and she didn’t take a single bite of her burger and ate like 2 fries and was just going to leave it there without taking it to go. I ate it myself and knew right there that there’s no way I’m taking this person out again cause I can not stand it when people waste food

    Very judgemental. But if this is something that bothers you a lot, then it might indeed be better to not have a second date, because you're very incompatible. By the way, there are girls who think a guy is going to think negatively about her when she eats a normal amount of food, so they barely eat anything during a date. And there's also girls who feel super self-conscious about the way their face looks when they eat, so she might be too scared to eat much.

    Maybe she was too nervous to eat. After I lost a bunch of weight I wouldn't take food like that home with me bc I'd eat it and gain the weight back. As a once in awhile thing on dates the burger would be fine. But I'd paid a nutritionist to learn how to keep my house stocked with healthy food. I had a date with a guy I could tell was irked by me not bringing food home. I felt like it was too much trouble to explain. If you judge an entire person off of this one quality you may be missing out.

    Huh? Perhaps she was nervous and had the jitters so that she could not eat.

    When someone says “whole meal” with burgers & fries, I’m thinking fast food. Not good or bad. Just a consideration.
