First dates are always challenging! Unsure about your feelings and behavior, they can be nerve-wracking and fearful.
Prepare yourself for some cringe-worthy stories that might make you laugh or cry! Here’s a compilation of disastrous first dates where things went terribly wrong.
It’s not uncommon to realize early on that a date isn’t a good fit. It could be something they say or do that leaves you shocked.
On a reddit thread, users shared their disastrous first dates. One user, Westonworld, recounted an incident: “He insisted on paying for dinner and then stiffed the waitress when it came to the tip. When I tried to leave a tip, he became upset as he believed the decision was his.”
That’s definitely not a pleasant experience! Tipping is crucial, and it can be embarrassing if your date disregards it. Luckily, it was just one date, and you don’t have to encounter that person again!

Another user, DopeCharma, shared a chilling moment: “She suddenly released the steering wheel and asked, ‘Do you think I’m crazy?!’ I promptly exited the car at the next stoplight.”
Such a situation can be terrifying, especially with someone you hardly know on a first date! Hoping that was just a one-time occurrence!
“Women are dumb” – I am a woman!
ShatteredKitkat recounted a nightmare first date: “He claimed women are gullible and believe anything. I am a woman.” That must have been unpleasant. Credit to her for maintaining her composure!

Free food!
Sol-Blackguy faced a terrible date: “I went out with a coworker, thought we clicked well until she lost her phone. I called her number, and the restaurant answered. When I retrieved it, I saw she saved my contact as ‘Free Meal’.”
That’s a painful realization. No one wants to be used for a free meal, especially when there are feelings and potential for a relationship, and being coworkers adds another layer of complexity.
Another cringe-worthy story shared by user wr_gix was memorable: “My date spent the first half discussing her irritable bowel syndrome and then abruptly switched to her love for God after the main course.”

User 4Ever2Thee shared a surprising revelation: “The date seemed fine until we talked about family and friends, and I realized I’d been intimate with her sister.”
These first date stories are truly intense and unpleasant. Which one do you find the most cringe-worthy? Let us know in the comments!
