Cringeworthy Things That Happen on Every 1st Date

Not all first dates are picture perfect. Some of us find ourselves in the most cringeworthy of situations. Chances are you have been in one or more of these awkward moments. If you haven’t, you’re one of the lucky ones!

Being Late for the Date

There’s nothing worse than waiting alone for your date to show up. You were already nervous before the date, now you’re sitting there on your second beer wondering if they’re ever going to show up at all.

Getting Your Parents to Drop You Off

If you’re old enough to date, you’re old enough to get your own lift to meet your date. But some people still prefer Mom to taxi them around, which puts your date in the awkward position of possibly meeting the parents on the first date.

Having the Date in Your Parent’s House.

Following on from not getting your parent’s to drive you to your date, avoid involving your parents in your date at all, especially on a first date. A cringeworthy scenario is you, your date and your parents making awkward chit chat in the kitchen.

Being Stingy with the Bill

We are living in a time that is breaking away from the traditional rules of dating, with much less constraints on gender roles. It’s embarrassing to go on a date with the assumption that the other person will pay for the entire night.

In other words, be prepared to divide the bill or get the next drink.
