"On one of our first dates, my boyfriend took us to an event called Acro-Cats. It’s like a traveling circus for house cats. The cats are pretty well trained but from the beginning, they make it clear that cats will be cats and do whatever the hell they want. It was pure chaos, and several cats were just wandering around the audience. It was so funny and awful but amazing."

"I love the story of my parent's first date. The first time they met my mom spilled a beer on him, and then on their actual first date my dad was having trouble with the car so he got out to jump-start it while my mom was supposed to be turning the key to start the ignition, she somehow manages to put the car and neutral and the car rolls forward and hits my dad right in the shins.

She’s extremely apologetic but he just gets in the car and says 'You are so lucky I really like you because if you were anyone else I would have cussed you out like nothing else'. Married for 29 years."

"I once went on a date with someone who was deaf but wore hearing aids. He had a minor speech impediment. I have very poor hearing in one ear. We were in a fairly lively restaurant and both having a lovely time and a fun conversation until we realized we were both having two completely separate conversations.

We laughed about it and decided to go somewhere quiet for the rest of the evening where we found out we had more chemistry when we didn't understand what the other was saying. This was nearly 10 years ago now, I hope he's well."

I hope my future boyfriend (if I get one) will treat me like that! I’m also deaf but I have Cochlear Implants and going somewhere noisy is SO challenging to hear the other person. Like a restaurant, a classroom, etc. Sometimes I try to lip-read and other times I just nod and pretend I’m hearing everything they’re saying when in reality they might as well be mouthing at me. (I can lip-read a little bit, but I’m not good at it or anything.)

She told me I wasn't Christian enough for her and I agreed. And there I sat. Drinking two margaritas alone."

"First date with my now husband. We met up in a city near me that he was unfamiliar with. We grabbed hot dogs at a local place and ended up staying and chatting for a very long time. When we finally left he asked what else there was to do and since it was late at this point I said 'Well, there are bars and stuff... and there’s a statue of a kid banging a turtle.' There was a long pause and he said 'Okay, where is this statue?'

On the drive, I was thinking why did I say this, this is going to be awkward. We got to the statue and just stood in front of it for a while and he said 'Well, I don’t know what I was expecting but yeah, he’s really banging that turtle.' We had our first kiss standing there after we finished laughing our heads off. When we got engaged we went to the places we visited on our first date for our engagement photos and yes, we took a couple in front of the statue."

I said something like racism or puppy-kicking. She said she could never date a guy with a hairy back.

And then at the end when I went to go see him, he saw me and got all sulky and that 'I should have said I was a good runner'. We bonded over running in the first place though, what did he expect? I just found it way too funny that it was fine for me to like running, only when in his head I was slower than him."

"It was a first date. We went to a movie. He arrived twenty minutes and said that since we were short on time, I should grab the tickets while he got the food. He asked me what I wanted and I said a small popcorn and a coke. He took off to grab the food, and came back with an extra large popcorn and one extra large drink (I thought he must have decided we would share?). Once in the movie, he refused to share the popcorn or the drink (with the exception of one single piece of popcorn, which he told me would be enough). After the movie was over, he asked if we could go for a short walk. He barely spoke the entire time, and we walked for several kilometers; the whole time I was asking where the heck we were going, and he said that he was enjoying my company and wanted to keep wandering.

Finally, after over an hour of wandering aimlessly, he proudly announced that we had “reached his stop” - he has led me to a bus stop several kilometers from the theatre. He gave me a really sloppy cheek kiss, before literally hopping on the bus and leaving me there to walk back to my car alone… worst date of my life. He called the next day and left a message asking for a second date. Big nope."

My sister and I couldn't breathe from laughter, but this guy was so shy he couldn't laugh. He was bright red from trying so hard not to laugh which made it even funnier.

That would lighten the atmosphere for me personally I think. I’d be freaking out over the kiss and that would actually help me relax a little. (I think it would, at least. I’ve never had my first kiss. Just knowing me, I know I’d be nervous and socially drained.)

"I got set up on a blind date. We were texting for a bit before the date but this was before camera phones (I’m so old!), so we weren’t able to swap photos or anything, so I literally went into this date blind. He’d told me he was 6’ 2” so I was expecting a giant given that I’m 5’.

The man that rocked up was shorter than me but he accused me of lying about my height. It was the most surreal conversation I’ve ever had on a date, and we didn’t even see out the rest of the date because he said he couldn’t date a liar. I still chuckle about it now."

"Guy I met on OkCupid brought his mom to the date.

It was so awkward, the funniest stuff ever.

So he told me that his best friend was his mother and that they spent a lot of time together. At first, I thought 'Awww that's sweet!' and he talked about her nonstop, her work, her hobbies, and the things she did, he even shared her picture with me which I thought was kinda funky, we agreed to meet at a cafe in town, he hopped out of his mom's car and she waved and drove off, like 20 seconds later she shows back up and pulls up a seat, turns out she was parking the car to come to join us.

The entire date was just her talking about her work and showing me old photos of when she used to play baseball, they sat really close together and kept hugging and kissing each other's cheek, it was so freaking awkward."

"We were in a fairly empty lounge. There was a TV on with either Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien's monologue. Instead of either chuckling along or ignoring it like normal people do, he decided to dissect each joke and why they are not funny and people shouldn't be laughing at them. He then proudly said he does it at parties and comedy shows too.

People often sarcastically say someone must be fun at parties. I have never met anyone actually admitting to it."

"He insisted to take me out on a date, and so for dinner, he suggested a sushi place about 30 mins away from our area (we both live on the same side of the city). When it was time to pay, he 'forgot' his card. Alright sure, no problem, I’ll pay. I don’t mind. But for the first time ever, I did not have my card either. LOL. We then told the servers that we’ll be back to pay (I left my license with them).

So he drove all the way back to our area, drove past his house, and drove straight to my house. So I can get my wallet… I assume. So I did.

Anyways we of course drove all the way back to the restaurant so I can pay the bill. So yeah, I left it at that and never bothered to contact him back again. LOL."

Now the following day he calls me informing me that since we stayed up so late last night, and he had to work so early the next day, he wore the same jeans from our date to work that morning. What he did not realize, and to my absolute horror, I had started my period while sitting on him in the car. He did not notice until his colleagues pointed out the stain on his pants.

Welcome to my horror story of a life."

"I had been dating this guy in college for a while, and I noticed he never liked any condiments on his food and wasn’t very creative with any flavors. We went out for pizza, and half of the pizza had pepperoni, mushrooms, and onions, while his half was regular pepperoni.

The next time I see him, he gives me a kiss at the door, and immediately I was like 'Ewww' at his breath. He goes, 'I never realized how good onions are, I read that you can eat an onion like an apple, so I tried it! It’s actually pretty good!'

We didn’t last much longer than that. It was so awkward with his newfound onion obsession. And then I felt bad that I’m technically the one that opened that can of worms."

Of course, this realization didn’t come until I was retelling the story to my roommate. He still tried to take me on a third date but I declined and told him I wasn’t interested in him. He took my lack of speaking to him as an invitation to show up at my job looking for me randomly for about a month then he gave up."

"It was a first date. I suggested a cute place to get some coffee. When we arrived, it turned out to be completely full. No matter, there was another nice place nearby. He rejected it because it was 'too far away'. I was stunned because it was just down the street. We could see it from where we were standing. Less than a one minute walk.

We went to a cafe even closer. The date itself was not that bad, but it became clear that we were not a good match. When we asked for the bill, he immediately insisted we split. I prefer that too, but the total was only 4.20 euros (about 5$, we had one soft drink each). It seemed a bit silly to me to split that, so I happily offered to pay for both of us and handed the server a 5-euro bill. What was funny to me was that while I was paying, he came up from behind and gave me a 2 euro coin, proudly saying 'That should cover it!' Lol."

"There’s this cute little coffee shop in my town that I absolutely love to go to. I’ve known for a while that it’s run by a Jewish cult called the Twelve Tribes (they’ve tried to recruit me and invite me to their sabbaths and stuff). I invited a guy I met in college there on a date.

He was nice, and it went well. I eventually told him about this, and he started telling me what tribe he was from (I guess it’s a biblical thing? Idk, I practice witchcraft and have most of my life). He then started talking to the barista about it VERY intently and getting information about the sabbath and stuff. As we were leaving he was very insistent that we go to one together.

I don't know, I think I may have gotten this man into a cult or he was already part of it. Not sure, didn’t go on another date."

Rubs his hand down his leg and he’s got this huge greasy stain running down. Excuses himself to go to the bathroom to try to clean it, smeared it more plus it looks like he’s peed his pants. Brings me home, leans in for the kiss and hits some center console button for the rear hatch of his car, sets off an alarm, and can’t get it to stop. At that point, he tucked his tail and went home. Never heard from him again."
