Dating may be a fun and exciting journey with lots of laughs and the potential to form a lasting relationship. However, as anyone who has gone on several dates will attest, not every date ends up with a happily ever after. Some dates can even be so uncomfortable that we hope they would end quickly. Let’s examine a few humorous and surprising dating disasters that individuals have encountered.
1. Thank God It’s Over
On Reddit, a woman talked about her awful dating experience. Her date’s boyfriend spent the whole hour of their first date griping about everything in his life, denying her any opportunity to say anything. Exasperated, she excused herself to use the restroom and made the decision to drive home.
When they were seated in a restaurant, nothing improved. He ordered her food with a haughty demeanor, insulting the workers and claiming that his country was better than others—until he ended up spilling juice over himself. He went on to say that he wanted to be a manager and terminate those who he thought were incompetent as the evening went on. She proposed splitting the check when it arrived, but he angrily reprimanded her. She went, leaving cash on the table.
She let him walk her home, grudgingly, so as not to make a disturbance. There was awkward quiet on the walk, and when they arrived at her front door, he made an attempt to push his way in. She gave him a hard shove, hurled cash at him, and demanded that he go. She told his family about the incident after it happened, and they broke off communication with her.
2. Making the Exit
The date of a Reddit member was someone who insisted on going to a fancy restaurant. The person was hooked to their phone, answering messages and making calls all during the lunch. When the waitress saw this, she subtly offered two separate invoices. Before departing, the user took advantage of the option to pay their share of the cost.
3. A Kiss for Two
An Air Force soldier, then eighteen, went on a date arranged by his roommate. His date astonished everyone by bringing a gigantic stuffed rabbit named Pebbles when they chose to see a movie together. They drove to his date’s cousin’s house and got ice cream after the movie. His date advised him to kiss Pebbles as well as her when they got to the door to stave off any possible jealously. He obliged, kissing both of them despite the peculiarity of the scenario.
4. Calling It Quits
A man was set up on a blind date by a friend. However, when they met at the theater, he realized that his date looked nothing like her online photos. To make matters worse, she introduced him to her parents and nine-year-old brother, who joined them for the movie. Throughout the film, the brother continuously kicked the back of the man’s seat. Unable to endure the situation any longer, he excused himself to the restroom and decided to drive home instead.
5. A Baffling Request
During a first date at the London Zoo, a woman was surprised when her date asked her to cover her own ticket. She agreed, and he pulled out a two-for-one voucher, allowing himself to enter for free while she paid for her own ticket. Quite a baffling move, to say the least.
6. A Major Turn Off
While having dinner with a man, a woman noticed his wedding ring accidentally slip out of his pocket when he reached for his wallet. Disgusted by the situation, she immediately threw some cash on the table and decided to walk home. It was a rare occasion where circumstances were too repulsive for her to have an appetite.
7. Where’s the Check?
On a first date, a man was taken aback when his date confessed that she was engaged but wanted to go on a few more dates to make sure her fiance was the right one. It didn’t take long for the man to request the check and make a hasty exit.
Dating can be a rollercoaster ride, and sometimes it takes these funny and unexpected dating mishaps to appreciate the good ones. Remember, not every date will be perfect, but you never know when you might stumble upon a truly magical connection.
