1. Living A Double Life
I went on a date with a guy I had met online. He wanted to meet for drinks, so I went to the pub and waited. He showed up 20 minutes late on his bicycle, proceeded to come into the bar, and down two pints after giving me a point and a wink.
I overheard him tell the waitress to "put it on his tab" and then he came over to the table with another beer. He proceeded to tell me about his two boys (no mention of them in our previous conversation) and how his mom wanted to take them all to Disney World.
He told her that would be too expensive, so he left his boys at home and he and his mom went to Disney World instead. Then he proceeded to tell me that he rode his bike everywhere because after his sixth DUI, "those dumb cops" took his license away.
He mocked me for drinking water, then in his next breath told me that he could really see falling in love with me. In 20 minutes, I got about ten words out, and most of them were me telling him I had to go. I later found out that he worked for a friend's father, and that he was married.

2. She Had Other Intentions
A childhood friend of mine asked me to go to dinner after we ran into each other at a party. I thought this would be great as she had gotten pretty cute since the last time I'd seen her and it was all was going well when we were texting.
I met her at the restaurant, and to my surprise, there was a middle-aged business-looking guy there as well. As soon I sat down, both of them tried to recruit me to one of those pyramid marketing schemes.
After I declined and went home, I would get texts regularly over the next month asking me what went wrong and why I didn't want to make all this easy money. I'm pretty sure I didn't even get to order dinner as well.

3. I’m Not His Girlfriend
I went to the cinema with a school friend. At this point, I didn't even know it was meant to be a date. Afterward, he asked if I wanted to play some games at his place. So I said yes. As soon as I walked into his front room I was met with about 8 of his family members.
He had invited over most of his family to meet me. They all believed I was his girlfriend, and that we had just come back from a date together. I felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't bring myself to tell them that we weren't actually boyfriend/girlfriend.

4. Maybe We’ll Meet Again
I got a call from a friend of a friend whom I thought I'd met once before, asking if I wanted to go out tomorrow (Saturday) night. Sure. I went out to her place about 40 mins away. Realized upon arrival that I didn't actually know her name.
We had dinner, talked, made out a bit, talked about going out again, made out some more, and called it a night at around 1 am. I tried several ways to get her to reveal her name, to no avail. Dropped her off at her place, drove home, and went to bed.
Realized the following morning that she had never spoken my name either, not on the phone or in person. Further realized that I didn't have her phone number.
Called a mutual friend to ask for her number. A mutual friend had no idea who I was talking about. Gave him the address of the girl. Said he didn't know anyone from that town and the address wasn't familiar. Never heard from her again.

5. Not Seeing Him Ever Again
He was a lab partner in college, he asked me out, and we met for dinner. He locked eyes with me over his salad and told me he thought I was "as beautiful as Hitler's niece". I could not look less like her, but okay.
He was a little intense and a good deal larger and stronger than I was, so I texted a girlfriend to meet me at the bar across the street so I'd have an excuse to run after our date ended.
He then described to me how he thought I'd be "exquisite while pregnant" and how he'd searched "so long for a woman so compatible with his genes and heritage", rolling his sleeve to expose a swastika tattoo.
It was then I excused myself to the ladies and noped out of the kitchen into the waiting arms of my best friend. I had to change my number, he was so insistent.

6. How’s your… “Cat”?
The date was dinner and a movie with a girl. We got the movie time wrong so went to dinner first. After ordering she starts looking at her phone a lot and has this weird look on her face. I ask what's wrong she says her cat has gone missing.
She goes outside to make a phone call and comes back 5 minutes later saying we have to go. I get our food boxed and pay the bill. I drive her back to her dorm and she runs inside with no goodbye.
I shrug it off and go eat my boxed cold dinner. Later that night I checked Facebook and saw her on a date with another guy. I send her a message asking how her cat is.

7. Is This A Happy Ending?
We are walking around and a guy asks us if we want some drinks, that he is holding. I say no, we keep walking and he is clearly following us, we change the roads, side of the road, and walk off into the darkness.
Went to a pier, started making out and she sat on my lap, touching me for over an hour. She tells me she heard a noise behind us, we see nothing, and keep making out. No one was there it was a dark quiet pier.
We make out for a while and I close my eyes, after who knows how long I open them and a guy 40 - 50 years old, big build wearing a leather jacket with one hand in the pocket asks if he can join in and tries to kiss my date. I push him away and tell him I'm calling the police, he tries to grab her but she slaps him and I stand in the way.
He is on our path to leave, my phone has 0 battery and I know that. He still has his right hand in his pocket, which to me means a strong possibility of a knife.
I wasn't about to die for this and contemplated if I could push him hard enough for him to fall off the pier and make a run for it, but it wasn't a sure thing and I was terrified.
I take out my 0% battery phone and pretend to dial, and put it to my ear. He starts running away and we stay back. My date starts crying, I hug her and we walk away.

8. Too Weird
I’ve been talking to a guy who invites me over mid-day to watch a movie. I say fine, head to his place. I knock and wait at the door to the apartment for like 5 minutes, checking text messages to make sure I have the right place.
He invites me in and tells me he needs to finish something on the computer. He proceeded to ignore me for like another 30 minutes while playing a game on the computer, it was so awkward.
Bonus weird points: he shared a bedroom with his sister in a small apartment. I understand I was a broke college student but this guy had a job as a charge nurse at a local hospital, he was very socially awkward. Definitely the weirdest first date.

9. Different Points Of View
I went with a really pretty girl out on a date. She was 18, I was 22. I'm pretty well known in my small town, so she knew me as a friend of a friend. When I picked her up, the plan was to go to dinner, and then back to her brother's place, who was out of town at the time.
When I picked her up, she barely spoke to me. I take her to dinner, she orders the most expensive thing on the menu. We go to her brothers, I initiate making out for all of 5 minutes, and she uncomfortably asks me to take her home. Never spoke to me again.
Now, why was this weird? My friend, knowing I wasn't prepared to take a hot girl out, gave me some pills to take beforehand. I'd never taken it, but he assured me it would make me feel more confident. I popped three of the immediate-release pills with a Red Bull 20 minutes before I picked her up.
I didn't know why she never called me, but our mutual friend basically said the date went like this, in her words: "He picked me up, and did not let me get a word in. At all.
He then takes me to an expensive restaurant and doesn't order anything but water, which makes me think he is broke but trying to impress me (not true, just wasn't hungry...at all).
We then go to my brother's house, he picks a horror movie that I had already told him I didn't like, and before the previews were over, he was kissing me with a mouth drier than desert sand."

10. Don’t Touch My Sun!
I'd been seeing this guy for a couple of months but we never actually went on a date. So this being our first date, we went to get some froyo at Tutti Frutti. He comes and picks me up and he brings his mom along. He apparently can't go on dates unless she comes with him.
So we are sitting at our own table, eating and I lean over to show him something on my phone. His mom gets up and marches over to our table and grabs my phone practically shouting "What are you showing my son?!?!?" It was a funny puppy video. I took back my phone broke up with him and walked home.

11. Don’t Judge Me
I went on a date to a sushi bar with this guy, pretty cute, and met online. He ordered Ramen for us both because it was the best side to sushi I guess. I am not a chopstick master, I tried using them and kept dropping noodles and making a mess, so I asked for a fork from the waiter.
My date starts SCREAMING "You do not use a fork! It is disrespectful! You are supposed to use chopsticks! If you can't then don't eat it!" The waiter stared at him, then looked at me "It's okay if you need a fork." I had tears in my eyes and just mumbled "No thanks, I'll be going." Handed him some cash and left.
I had another where the guy invited me over to watch movies, and was moving furniture (so I just stood awkwardly since I was 'a guest and petite lady') so once we sat down to watch the movie he smelled to high hell, proceeded to take his shirt off and say "Just wanna show ya what you're working with."
It was awkward, but I liked the movie we were watching so I stayed, afterward we were talking and he started laughing at something and I noticed his teeth had yellow/brown/black stains. I'm shallow, good teeth are a plus for me. We ended the date and that was that.

12. That Doesn’t Even Make Sense
On my very first date ever, I went to a movie with my girlfriend whom I also had my first kiss with about a week earlier at a dance. She doesn't mention anything about this, but she ends up bringing her sister.
Her IDENTICAL TWIN sister. I had no idea who was who all date long and didn't find a way to ask. She later tells my friend she thinks I am more into her sister than her. Very awkward. Much confused.

13. Unexpected Date
This unexpected date happened on my bus trip back to college after Christmas my first semester. I met this 16-year-old girl who was leaving an orphanage (though we don't call them that here in America) to go live with a relative who'd decided to take her in.
She was going to be on buses for days because she was traveling from South Florida to Oregon. Anyways, in the span of a 9-hour bus ride, we went through all the stages of a relationship.
We had a first date that consisted of store-bought sandwiches and some Capri Suns she had packed for the trip. We talked about our pasts. We had our first kiss. We took a short nap which was like her sleeping over. We ended up mutually touching each other in the back of that bus.
Then we were a couple of hours away from my stop and started to realize we would soon be over. All the joy she once had being around me was replaced with a cold distance to hide her sadness.
As we entered my college town, we decided it would be best if we didn't contact each other after this. We got to my stop but she had an hour layover there.
She decided she wanted to give me one last/first “touch” before we said goodbye. Then I held her until her bus arrived. This older couple commented on how well we looked together and asked how long we had been together.
We told them we just met on the bus and they couldn't believe it. Then we kissed goodbye and she got on the bus. We never spoke again.

14. Crying Over Small Things
I cried. I met some guy (from social media) at a bar to watch a basketball game, where I was sure that my alma mater was advancing to the Big Dance. They were so strongly favored! And... they lost.
You have to understand that not much goes on in my hometown, and college sports have long been my thing - when I moved away, when I visited home, when I had beers, when I was lonely, when I was single when I was social... watching this team has been one my constants in life and, for better and (lots of) worse, I root for them always.
Anyway, they lost, I cried. I felt it well up as the clock dwindled down. When it was imminent, I just lost it. Tears down my face and I started muttering like a monkey. I mean really, who cries over basketball!?
Luckily, he found me charming and zesty, not crazy and obsessive, because we got married a year and some change later. I usually still cry when they face elimination.

15. I Hope She’s Fine
When I was in high school, I went out on a date with this girl I had a big crush on. We went to the zoo and then grabbed some food for dinner. Afterward, we had to split up in order to get our trains that were going in the opposite direction.
I awkwardly tried to lean in for a kiss, while she went in to hug me, and I ended up headbutting her in the face and her nose started bleeding.
I was embarrassed as hell, so I just asked, "Are you okay?" and when she said, "I think so" I just waved goodbye and walked away into the train station facepalming really hard.

16. Not A Bad Date At All
The weirdest date I've been on went really well. I went on a double date with a friend of mine. He was dating a girl and set me up with her roommate. We went to a comedy show, Steve Byrne.
What Mr. Byrne likes to do at the end of the show is get audience members on stage to be a part of his boy band. Now back then I was absurdly baby-faced, so when he saw me he laughed and said "Oh God, you, come here."
So I wind up on stage with a few other guys and we get our boy band names. Then he gets an older woman on stage and each of the boy band members has to give her a lap dance.
I've always had a flare for the dramatic so when it's my turn, I really grind hard on this lady. All of that went great. Steve Byrne got me laid.

17. Awkward Moments
We went out to a movie (that crap Lincoln one a few years back) and he put his very muscular/heavy arm around me the whole time I was near tears in pain but was too nervous/awkward to say anything.
Then, we missed when we tried to kiss one another. THEN, he texted me afterward to ask me to be his girlfriend after we had only met each other twice, I rejected him and then asked him to my prom. And then I dumped him a week later. Ah, dating as a seventeen-year-old.

18. Needing Comfort
I went on a date with a guy to watch Jack the Giant Slayer and the dude was vice-gripped to my hand for the ENTIRE movie. Every time I tried to pull away (It was seriously making me uncomfortable) he would snatch it up again like he was afraid I was going to float away.
Then he kept trying to talk to me and finally, I was like "Dude I'm just trying to watch the movie". And he's all "I'm here for you".We only went on one more disastrous date after that.

19. Date Him Instead
I met up with the girl at a coffee shop. The entire 'date' she would not shut the hell up about her 'androgynous' gay best friend (her descriptor words, not mine, but having seen about a dozen photos I'm inclined to agree) she was obviously in love with.
Literally, not two sentences could go by without her talking about him. I asked politely to change the conversation a few times, didn't work. After about 20 minutes I told her I had to get going but she asked if I would walk her home since it had gotten dark.
I'm a gent and a glutton for punishment I agree. She still keeps talking about him. She gave me a kiss on the cheek at her door and I never answered her calls or texts again. She was really pretty too, oh well.

20. The Eyes Never Lie
Met a man from a dating app. Nothing fancy, just a coffee shop date downtown one evening. He maintained eye contact the entire time, I swear he didn't look away for even a second.
When I told him it was making me really uncomfortable, he asked "Why do you think that is?" and then proceeded to ask many more way-too-personal questions that I did not have answers to.
It felt like he was performing some kind of bizarre social experiment to see how much he could make a socially awkward young woman squirm with his unwavering gaze. There was no second date.

21. That Was Unexpected
My best friend finally landed a date with her dream boy. A few nights before, she called me up, saying "Hey, I'm a bit nervous about this. Would you double-date with me? He told me his cousin is in town and is also fun to be around." Sure, I agreed.
The night of the date, I met this cousin and over the course of the meal, found him to be autistic. And I don't mean this in the way that people casually describe socially inept people. He was actually severely autistic.

22. Not Weird, Just Different
I dated a girl with Tourette’s syndrome. She was acting weird but I couldn't figure out what was going on. At one point, we're hanging out in her room and I'm complimenting her posters, and I look over at her, and she's giving me the middle finger. Then stops. And the conversation continues.
I tripped out and faked an incoming phone call by playing with the volume button on my phone. Said it was an emergency and peeled out into the sunset, never to see her again.

23. And They Lived Happily Ever After
This girl who worked at the nearby gas station and I had been flirting a bit for a while. We exchanged numbers, planning on hanging out but I kept forgetting/putting it off.
One night, she called me as I was getting off work and she had invited me to a Christmas party. I basically moved in with her that night. 2 years later, we're in love and have an apartment together.

24. A Huge Coincidence
I'm in a coffee shop, and the waitress is a real cutie. My friend dared me to ask her out. I did and we agreed to meet up the next night after work, in the restaurant I worked at.
She showed up with her sister, a lady I'd had a crazy red hot six-month-long affair with a few years before. I cringed so hard when I sat down at their table. The first date had never even happened.

25. Not A Date
I went on a date with a guy I met on a dating site meant for geeks. We were both grad students at the same university and he had invited me on a grad student ski trip. The issue was that I thought it was a date. He just wanted to go skiing.
That was awkward since I was ditched for most of the day (I'm a beginner skier, he was advanced). I got the impression that he had a tendency to be more oblivious to people than I am, which is an accomplishment.
Amusingly, my husband has a mutual acquaintance with the oblivious guy, and the acquaintance wasn't surprised by the story at all. It was typical for him. I'm still surprised he managed to get a girlfriend.

26. A Huge Misunderstanding
We met on a dating app. Her profile was 'looking for women' which at first I thought was odd because she messaged me first, and my profile is of me, fully bearded and clearly indicates 'male' in my description.
We met at a bar, and she was very quiet. I really liked her and we had great conversations online. I thought she was just shy.
She disappeared halfway through the night. I was really sad because I had just gotten the courage to try dating again after a really intense breakup and I really liked her.
She messaged me a few days later after no response explaining that she thought I was a trans male on hormones, not an actual man. I was clearly very upset for multiple and very different reasons for a while after that.

27. What A Nice Surprise
The first date to a movie (The Hobbit) with a girl I started talking to on social media. I got to the cinema and found out that she brought both her parents to our first date.
Okay, maybe she just wanted me to meet them. A little early but alright. Nope. They're watching the movie with us.
We get movie snacks and go into the theatre. I take a seat next to her and then the parents each take a seat on either side of us, with my date and I in the middle. I was sitting next to her father. It was super uncomfortable, so I said that I "liked sitting next to the wall better."
Barely anything happened between my date and I. We shared a straw for the soda and that was about it.

28. Why Would You Lie?
We met on a dating app when I had just turned 19. We decided to go to a really popular park downtown, and had a rad time, right up until she told me she lied about her age, she was 14 (she looked 20 and said she was 18), and that her parents were working literally 30 feet from the shop we were in.
I've never run so fast in my life. Got calls and texts for about 3 months after, telling me she loved me. Jesus Christ, I’m getting stressed just talking about it.

29. That’s Not What I Wanted
I went on a date with this girl I met on a dating app. Naturally, we got extremely drunk and I ended up sleeping over. She lived with her mom and super young brother (about 4) and I threw up while making them breakfast in the morning.
To make matters worse, I was constantly swearing between purges because I have acid reflux, and that really burned. There was not a second date.

30. Different Experiences
With one girl I fell asleep while watching a movie at the cinema. It was a good movie but I was tired. Another girl puked in a trash can at a carnival after riding the spinny cups. I saw the chunks of hot dog we ate earlier in the puke.
I understood and offered to take her home but she ran away. I don't know how she got home since she never replied to my texts. I was the weird one when, as a teenager, we went to a café and I had three shots of espresso.
I had never had coffee before so I got super stressed and speedy. I started to sweat and excused my odd behavior while shaking and stammering. I thought I was being cultured and swell when I slammed the three cups of espresso like I was doing shots of tequila.

31. I Hope She Came
I met up with a girl I'd met on a dating app, we had planned to go to this little coffee shop. I get there about 15 minutes early and find that the place is closed inexplicably. I then returned to my car to find out I had locked my keys AND phone in my car.
So I had no choice but to just sit and wait for her to show up so I could explain to her that the place was closed AND ask her to help me get my keys out of my car.

32. Unexpected Events
I had a casual first date with a guy at my apartment. We watched a movie that he had seen before, drank a bottle of wine, and chatted.
Toward the end of the movie, there's a little blood and the guy walks into my kitchen, pretends to get a glass of water, drops to the ground, and starts seizing. It was terrifying.
I ran over and kept saying his name and after a few seconds I was about to call 911, when he woke up, realized what happened, and just said "Damn it..." Apparently, the sight of blood really gets to him and this was not the first time this had happened.

33. Always Arguing
I went out with a guy that I had met on a dating app. The entire time, we argued. Either he didn't agree with me, or I didn't agree with him, on ANYTHING. Normally, I don't argue with someone just because I don't agree with them, but this guy was so arrogant.
After leaving the bar, he somehow thought it would be a good idea to ask me to come up to his place. Saying "no", was the last time I spoke to him.
PlainJane23
34. This Is Ridiculous
A cute-ish guy approached me at a foreign film screening at my university in Arizona and asked me out in French, which was the language of the film. I spoke college-level French, so I accepted the offer of a date. I mean, he was kind of cute.
When he picked me up that Friday night, he greeted me with "Guten tag!" Okay, cute, a reference to the foreign film screening, right? Nope. From that moment on he spoke nothing but clumsy German all night long.
He took me to a cinema and we rented a German film. He spoke German to the cashier. He spoke German through dinner. He spoke German while watching the film.
He tried to get to first base in German. And yes, this whole time I was telling him repeatedly that I don't speak German, I can't understand him, etc. He just responded in German.
But the weirdest moment was when his roommate came home as I was awkwardly leaving (my date was trying to convince me to stay, in German) and my date interrupted our "conversation" to say in a perfectly normal Arizona accent, "Hey man, what's up?" And then turned back to me and continued to speak German. Oooooookaaaay.

35. Why Is She Here?
Not shockingly bad, just a little weird. She showed up with her overprotective older sister. Most of the conversation was with her older sister. When I asked questions, in 80% of cases her sister was the one answering them.
The girl was cute, so after the awkward experience we agreed to have another date.
Turns out she was so sheltered and shy, that she was almost incapable of having a conversation on her own.
Yeah, we grew to be good friends, but other than that, in a more romantic way, she was a very closed person.

36. Too Many Things Happening
First time out with my now fiance, we were at a local sushi joint. I was telling a story (actively using my hands) and knocked a glass over and we both watched it slowly roll off the table and onto the floor.
Then not even 5 minutes later, a little, probably 2-year-old girl is running around her family's table as kids do, stops right next to our table, and vomits everywhere.

37. Self Centered
My roommate in college was kind of seeing a girl for a couple of weeks and at a tailgate, she was blowing my phone up wanting to meet up. I had an idea that she was interested so I talked to my roommate and asked if it was cool if I took her out.
He gave me the OK and said she was cool but they just didn't work out. So that night we go out to dinner and she is super self-obsessed. Went on and on about herself the whole time and talked about all the things she hates about guys. It was a nightmare.
We met up with her sorority sisters at a bar after dinner and I ended up talking to her roommate the whole night and kind of joking about how bad the date went.
Ended up dating the roommate for 2 years after we met that night. So a horrible date turned into a great relationship, so best of both worlds in one night. But damn that girl was the worst.

38. Stop Being Creepy
It was just an awkward date with no chemistry, but when he dropped me off near my apartment he asked if I'd like to go on another date sometime.
I tried to let him down easily, but he freaked out and wouldn't accept it until I explained why I wasn't interested. Nearly an hour later I finally told him that even if I had been interested, he ruined it by being creepy. Then he let me go.
It's been 10+ years, but I'll never forget the last thing we said to each other. He asked, "Will I ever see you again?" And while scurrying away, I responded "Only time will tell."

39. Late Answers
I met a girl on a dating app, arranged to go to lunch, and arrived at a restaurant. So far, things are going well. She is late... I messaged her "Hey, you still coming to lunch?". No response. I decide to wait 15 more minutes (30 minutes total).
Just sitting at a table in my university's main dining spot. I leave. That sucked but it happens. She messages me a day later "Oh, sorry I didn't feel like going." I guess it's technically not a date but damn that sucked.
LordOfVigilance
40. Careless Man
I met a guy online who missed our actual first date because he had to meet with his parole officer. I gave him a second chance because everyone deserves a second chance and maybe he'd learned his lesson.
First time meeting him and I casually asked him about what he'd been in jail for - and he said a substance charge. Okay...not terrible. Then he proceeds to go on and on about how he doesn't care that he went to jail, doesn't care if he goes back, etc. Yeah… bye.

41. She Turned Out… Just Fine
In high school, I went on a date with a girl who went to a different school. I met her a couple of times before. Anyway, I go to pick her up, and the whole time on the date she is talking in this thick Texas accent. Now mind you we live in the northeast and I know for a fact she has never grown up in Texas.
What made it worse was that she was talking in this accent and talking about how my parents would love her, how would go to the same college together, etc. I finally said screw this, dropped her off, and blocked her on everything. The last I heard she's a stripper who does witchcraft in her spare time.

42. Who’s The Inconvenience Here?
She showed up to our first date at an ice cream parlor with about 3 of her other friends unexpectedly. It was extremely awkward dealing with all these people I didn't even know.
It didn't help that they seemed to take every opportunity to make me feel like I was the odd one out of place - like I was an inconvenience to them. I barely even remember talking to the girl I was actually on a date with.

43. A Date, a Friend, and a Bar Tab
I met a girl on social media (this was a long time ago). After a few messages, we set up a date at a bar downtown. I show up and she's already there with a guy friend. No biggie I'm thinking, she's just playing it safe. They are at a two-person table and the place is packed.
They already have drinks so I grab one for myself and put it on my tab. She and her friend proceeded to ignore me. Like I say something and neither one acknowledges anything unless I ask a direct question. Even then I get one-word answers with attitude.
So I finish my beer pay my bill and leave without saying a word. Later I get a barrage of messages about how I'm a jerk for sticking them with their own tab.

44. Stealing My Girl
I was hitting it off with this smoking hot French-speaking girl (the type they employ in nightclubs to dance in the cage or on the luminescent block) when out of the blue we stumbled into a friend of mine.
The dude became somewhat of a third wheel but actually managed to completely steal the girl away and started kissing in front of me after roughly 45 minutes.
Here's the bad part: the dude didn't speak a word of French, and they needed/requested me to tag along to translate for each other... Needless to say, it didn't take long for me to find a way out and spend the rest of my summer angry, humiliated, and sad. Never saw or talked to either of them since. All I know it lasted less than a week.

45. Arguing Over A Free Meal
I once took this idiot on a date, she wanted me to pretend it was her birthday so she could get a free dessert. I thought it was a joke until dinner ended and she got up from the table and said "alrighty I'm going to the bathroom, call the waiter over and tell them it's my birthday."
I didn't and when she got back she legitimately got upset with me. She said it was free and I should have just done it, then said we would just order it instead...
I wanted that chocolate cake but out of spite, I told her my stomach was hurting, paid for the bill, and then jetted out to my buddy's party.
