When it comes to first dates, we all hope for sparks and magic, but sometimes reality has a different plan. First dates can be awkward and make us want to leave as soon as possible. Here are some stories of unexpected dating mishaps that will make you chuckle.

1. Thank God It’s Over

One Redditor went on a disastrous first date with someone who made the night all about himself. He complained about every aspect of his life for the first hour, without giving the woman a chance to speak. He even ordered food for her without consulting her preferences and ended up spilling juice all over himself, blaming the staff while boasting about his home country.

As the evening went on, he expressed his desire to become a manager and fire anyone he deemed incompetent. When it was time to pay the bill, the woman suggested splitting it, but he started yelling at her. To avoid making a scene, she let him pay and allowed him to walk her home. However, when they reached her door, he tried to force himself on her. She pushed him away, threw the money for her part of the bill at him, and told him to leave. Thankfully, she never heard from him again.

2. Making the Exit

Another Redditor had a date with someone who insisted on dining at a fancy and expensive restaurant. However, the entire night, the person was constantly on their phone, taking calls and responding to messages. It was clear that they weren’t interested in engaging in meaningful conversation because they were too busy.

The waitress noticed the awkward situation and discreetly offered separate bills, allowing the Redditor to settle his bill before leaving the place.

3. A Kiss for Two

An 18-year-old man in the Air Force went on a double date set up by his roommate. During the date, his companion brought along a giant stuffed rabbit named Pebbles. After watching a movie together, they grabbed some ice cream and went to the date’s cousin’s house. Before entering, the date asked the man to not only kiss her but also kiss the stuffed rabbit to prevent any jealousy.

As crazy as it sounded, he went along with it and gave them both a kiss.

4. Calling It Quits

On a blind date, a man was surprised to see his date arrive at the theater with her parents and her nine-year-old brother. Throughout the movie, the brother kept kicking his seat. Unable to tolerate the situation any longer, he excused himself to the restroom but ended up leaving the place altogether. He also mentioned that his date looked nothing like her online photos.

5. A Baffling Request

A woman shared the story of an awkward first date at the London Zoo. She was taken aback when her date asked her to pay for her own ticket. She agreed, but then he pulled out a two-for-one voucher, allowing him to enter for free while she paid for her own ticket. Talk about a bizarre move!

6. A Major Turn Off

During a dinner date, a woman noticed her date’s wedding ring accidentally slip out of his pocket when he reached for his wallet. Disgusted, she immediately threw some cash on the table and decided to walk home. It was one of those rare moments when circumstances were just too repulsive for her to have an appetite.

7. Where’s the Check?

A man was left in shock when his date informed him that she was engaged but wanted to go on a few more dates to be sure about her choice. As expected, he asked for the check and left.

Dating can be like a roller-coaster ride, with its fair share of awkward moments. But sometimes, you have to go through a few rough dates before finding the right one. Don’t you agree?
