Real Life Stories of Truly Awful First Dates

Let’s be honest: first dates can be really scary. Things don’t always go according to plan, and opening up can be embarrassing. Some first dates, though, are worse than others, as these true stories of terrible first dates make very clear.

End of Date

We arrive at a nice restaurant for dinner. Idle talking while we’re waiting to be seated.

“Oh that’s a nice ring.” “yeah I love it. My boyfriend gave it to me for our anniversary yesterday.” LOLNOPE.

Romance at Walmart

I went on a first date with a guy and after seeing a movie he told me he really wanted to go to Walmart. So we drove over there and before we got out of the car he asked me if I wanted to make it “official”.

Even though I said no we still ended up going into Walmart together and I watched him shop for DVDs. Story credit: Reddit / Retawekaj

The Long Dress Story

She complained about every other girl that walked into the restaurant we were in, and then the bar afterwards. She also told me about her inability to choose what dress she wanted to buy when shopping the week before…for 20 minutes.

She also told me everyone she had ever gone out with and why she had split up with them. I cut the date short by saying I was tired, put her in a cab, deleted her number and went and got drunk with my friends.

Two Hours

I went on a date with someone I knew for a total of two hours. I was his first for everything. He told me he wanted to marry me. TWO HOURS.
