First Date Drama That Put People Off Dating For Life
Usually, you can determine if you’re meant to be with someone based on how the first date goes. It’s safe to say that most of us have had our fair share of awkward and weird dates where you’re desperately trying to find a way out of the cringe situation.
Luckily, some Redditors have shared their worst first date stories and we’re here to take a look at some of the worst ones!
Proposal
Mine didn’t even turn into a date. I bowled on a team once a week and chatted with a guy that came in the same nights with his family. We finally made a date, and as soon as I got in his car, he did something I could have never expected.
He asked me to marry him! He pulled a ring out of the glove compartment and said he was in the navy and was scheduled to be relocated to Germany in two weeks. I doubted for a minute, but eventually, I gave him a response.
I was shocked and scared, told him he was nice and I would write to him, but it was just weird, I never heard from him again.
The Truth Came Out
On the 4th date, she tells me the real reason she changed jobs. She used to be a prison guard and had cancer, so all the medical stuff forced a change of work. Now she works as a nurse. This is important.
She tells me in a totally casual way that because of having cancer, she felt like she needed to let go and be exciting. So she started dating 2 prisoners that were there. She used to smuggle them in cell phones and other stuff. Asked her how out of pure morbid curiosity.
She said, “women have natural pockets that fit lots of stuff.” Then tells me she was caught because someone walked in on them having sex in his cell, and the other inmate she was dating got jealous and turned them in.
She said the reason she wasn’t in jail was that the psychologist testified she was in an altered mental state because of cancer. And right then, I knew what to do. She went to the bathroom, and I promptly ran like hell. She called me every day for 2 weeks before giving up.
Ditched Her
I ditched the date at the bar we were at after she told me she got mad at her ex over basically nothing and then proceeded to ruin his mint classic car. But there was more.
She also casually mentioned being arrested over something else related to aggressive behavior – I would have remembered what she did had I not checked out right then and there, faked going to the restroom, then promptly paid my tab and left.
Why would you think that that’s even a thing to tell someone on a first date?
Constantly Texting
We met outside of one of my favorite restaurants. She was texting on her phone, shook my hand, and barely looked up. We get seated, all the while still on her phone texting.
So I asked her normal date things to only get “yeahs” and eventually a “hold on a second” after my 3rd attempt at striking up any sort of conversation. What the heck was that? So I asked if everything was OK.
After the “hold on a second” comment, I figured something bad might’ve happened. She responded by saying her friends are a priority. I didn’t know what to say.
I was kind of taken back, our waitress walks up right after that, and she cuts her off as she’s greeting us with a huffy “finally!” Then she barks her drink order at her as rudely as possible and goes right back to her phone. Right then, I decided that enough was enough.
I asked for water, said “excuse me,” and got up after a minute of silence. I found the waitress, gave her a 20, said I was leaving, and apologized. Quickest date of my life. All in 10-15 minutes max. I’ve never met anyone close to that rude on a date.
I always tell myself I got all my bad dates in one. Here’s to hoping that’s true!!
