1. Thank God It’s Over!
Imagine going on a date where the other person monopolizes the conversation for a whole hour, complaining about every aspect of their life without giving you a chance to speak. To escape the frustration, one woman excused herself to the restroom and decided to drive home instead. But that’s not all—the disastrous evening continued with arrogance, food spills, criticism, and even a desire to become a power-hungry manager. When the check came, she gracefully suggested splitting it, only to be met with anger. Leaving money on the table, she walked away from the chaos. Little did she know that sharing her story with his family would lead to them cutting off contact with her. Phew, talk about a lucky escape!
2. Making a Swift Exit
Ever been on a date where the other person remains glued to their phone the entire time, taking calls and responding to texts? Well, one Reddit user found themselves in this exact situation. The observant waitress discretely offered separate bills, giving our user the perfect opportunity to settle their portion and make a swift exit. Goodbye, distracted dinner companion!
3. A Kiss for Two and a Bunny
When you’re 18 and set up on a date by your roommate, you expect the unexpected. For this young man in the Air Force, the unexpected came in the form of a giant stuffed rabbit named Pebbles. Yes, his date brought Pebbles to their movie night, and after the film, they decided to have some ice cream. But as they reached the door of his date’s cousin’s home, she dropped a surprising suggestion. To avoid any potential jealousy, she recommended he not only kiss her but also Pebbles. Quirky? Definitely. But hey, sometimes you roll with the punches and go for the double kiss!
4. Calling It Quits
Blind dates can go either way, and for one man, it went south real quick. As he met his date at the theater, he realized she looked nothing like her online photos. To add to his misery, she introduced him to her parents and even her 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 bear the situation any longer, he excused himself to the restroom and wisely decided to drive home. Sometimes, you just know when it’s time to hit the eject button!
5. A Baffling Request
Picture this: you’re on a first date at the London Zoo, having a seemingly normal time. Then, out of nowhere, your date asks you to cover your own ticket. Surprised but not missing a beat, one woman agreed. To her astonishment, he then pulled out a two-for-one voucher for himself, entering the zoo for free while she paid for her own ticket. Talk about a mind-boggling move! Needless to say, they didn’t have a second date.
6. A Major Turn Off
Nothing kills the mood faster than noticing a wedding ring on your date’s finger when they reach for their wallet. Disgusted by the situation, one woman promptly threw some cash on the table and decided to walk home. Sometimes, circumstances can be too repulsive for anyone to maintain their appetite. Can you blame her?
7. Where’s the Check?
Imagine sitting down for a first date only to have your companion confess that they’re engaged and just want to go on a few more dates to make sure their fiancé is the right one. Awkward, right? Well, for one man, that revelation was enough to make him request the check and make a swift exit. Smart move, sir!
Remember, not every date will be perfect, and sometimes it takes these funny and unexpected mishaps to appreciate the good ones. So the next time you have a less-than-stellar dating experience, remember that you never know when you’ll stumble upon a truly magical connection. Happy dating, folks!
