Explore the following anecdotes of unforeseen dating blunders. Don’t miss reading these intriguing tales.
1) Dinner, Distractions, and a Daring Escape: A First Date Fiasco
Had a first date with a girl who insisted we go to a really expensive place, where she ordered a $25 dollar appetizer, $45 steak and a $15 drink. She wouldn’t put down her phone, kept taking calls and answering texts. The waitress noticed and motioned for me from behind her. I excused myself, and the waitress had separate bills all made up and asked if I wanted to pay my share and leave her at the table. I said, “That would be wonderful!” So I did.

2) Strike Out: Dodgeball Disaster and the Swift Exit
He invited me and a friend to play dodgeball with a group of folks I’ve never met. We’re having an ok time, he’s paying more attention to his friends but that’s fine because I’ve got my friend to keep me occupied. We’re hanging out in the parking lot before the first game is about to start when out of nowhere he grabs a ball and throws it at my crotch as hard as he can. This motherfucker screams “wham, bam, right in the clam!”

I immediately turn to my friend and ask her if she’s ready to leave. I say goodbye to him and his friends. Immediately come home to a grip of texts about how “immature” I was behaving.

3) Mission Aborted: A Date with Unexpected Confessions
On a first date with a military guy. He spent a large portion of the date talking about why the strippers in Toronto were better than the strippers where we lived. To change the topic, I asked him if he did any volunteer work with the military overseas and he said “NO! I joined the military to kill people not help people!” I got my bill, chugged my beer, and left as fast as I could.

4) Quick Exit: Escaping a Date Turned Stalker Scenario
The fact that within 10 minutes of meeting him he started making sexual comments and ”joking” about following me home so he could stalk me if I rejected him.

I got out with the help of a bartender who let me leave out the back door.

5) Swipe Left: A Date with Danger and a Dash for Safety
This is meeting someone from an online dating app… He turned up with pupils the size of dinner plates, and super erratic. He said he’d forgotten his wallet so I got the first round. We were on the way to the second pub to meet his mates so they could lend him some money. For the walk there he spoke absolute garbage/nonsense non stop but ended with how he tried to drown his exes chihuahuas in a pool. Near the pub he said he had to answer whoever was calling him on the phone ( at this point we were 30 minutes into the date and already going to the next pub, he’d downed his drink in about 3 seconds) whilst he stood there on the phone I said I would meet him at the pub(everything was all in close proximity) but instead walked past it and ran all the way home.

6) Afternoon Alert: A Boozy Lunch Date and a Swift Exit
1pm lunch date and she was drunk as a skunk. She invited me back to her place, where she said her 2 year old son wouldn’t even notice. I noped out and called her a cab home.
