35 People Are Sharing Their Most Awkward Dates And It’s Both Funny And Painful To Read
We all deserve love and to be loved. I mean, is it too much that we’re asking for? But if you've ever walked in the shoes of a singleton, and at some point we all have, you know what a blessing and a curse it may be. Let’s face it, the dating game is not for the faint-hearted, no matter what the media and apps that people download and delete in a cycle of despair and hope would tell us.
In fact, a Pew Research survey showed that most of those on the romantic hunt, which makes up 15% of American adults who are single and looking for a relationship, are dissatisfied with their dating lives. How come?
Well, the answer lies somewhere between the lines of real-life stories from people who survived the most awkward date. And although the degree of awkwardness varies substantially from one date to other, anyone who’s had a bad one came out of it with a fun (hopefully fun) memory to talk about.
Thanks to Twitter user Steven Glansberg, who asked “What’s the most awkward date y’all ever been on?” we now have a collection of honest answers that tick all the boxes for a well-made drama film. Psst! After you're done, make sure to check out our previous post with the worst first date stories right here.

In a sense, every date is like your first date. The nervousness is real, but the level of it varies from person to person. Some see it as a test they want to pass real badly, others go with a more relaxed approach and see where the encounter takes them.
So previously, Bored Panda contacted Susan Winter, love coach and author of “Breakup Triage: The Cure for Heartache,” to find out what she has to say about nailing the dating game. It turns out, even if the impulse to create romantic relationships exists, the skill set to do so may not. Susan said that there’s been an increasing loss of capacity for clear communication and clarity of "dating purpose."

100% agree that the parents can do what they want in their marriage - relationships are made by the people in them. But what a terrible way to find out. Open relationships should less stigmatized so that people don't feel forced to keep them secret from even family & close friends.

According to Susan, it’s important to know what you want and how you want it: “Without mental clarity, there is no emotional clarity.” Firstly, “we must know what we want out of a relationship.” And secondly, “we must define those goals to our perspective mate, using language they understand, e.g. 'I want a partner,' or 'I'm just looking to have fun.'"

When I first introduced my Father-In-Law to his 3 year old grandson, he was so proud. My husbands parents were divorced and we were staying with his mother. My FIL asked if he could take my son out for lunch on Sundays. I agreed and he took him for several weeks. It was only later that I found out he was using my son to help him pick up dates. The older women would come up "Oh..he's so adorable! Is he your grandson?" Next thing you know..he's got a phone number. Once he had a stack of him, he stopped taking my son out for lunch. Wonderful Grandpa, huh?

He sounds like a weirdo with not enough to do at work. Also I think that you should inform his workplace what he's up to.
When asked whether people still date in these unprecedented times, the relationship coach assured us that they indeed do, but nobody really calls it “dating” anymore. “This seems to be a resistance to the term itself. 'Dating' may feel too formal a word for some people who'd rather say they're hanging out, or hooking up,” she explained.

“If your partner takes the time and energy to plan a great date, then you know they have the capacity to invest time and energy into a relationship.” So no date should be overlooked. Planning a first date is a way to show that you're invested in making a good impression. “Plan in advance. Know your partner's preferences: their likes and dislikes. Be creative. Be thoughtful. Be kind,” suggested Susan.

Considering my experiences and those of friends and acquaintances, a**hole men must regularly attempt to get a little on the side when their partner (current or former) is in the hospital giving birth. Nothing like your friend's fiance calling from the hospital asking you for a booty call (completely random, no prior "connection" other than disdain for him) instead of informing you of the baby's gender.

I must be a monster too. I pull the meat off, and put it in my mouth. I guess it’s more polite to stick the whole thing in your mouth and chew off all the meat and then pull the bone out of your mouth.

Is it? If someone put the whole thing in their mouth and pulled the bones out after, I'd definitely rethink a second date.

This one is a toss up. It's possible that wings weren't his first food of choice for a date -- considering the monstrous way they're consumed -- but went to a "wings place" for to OP. Perhaps he figured his method was a lot less shocking, gross or messy.

Not all funerals are weeping thru a church service. I told my son when I go, no funeral, they cost too damn much money! I want my body donated to science, and then he can sell all my stuff & throw a big party for all my family & friends! So yeah, a DJ would be appropriate.

This isn't anything strange or abnormal for a date. Put it this way: If this is the WORST dating experience this guy was able to recall, he is DAMN LUCKY and should be counting his blessings.

Nah, last guy I was seeing (briefly), before my current and very clean boyfriend, lived with an infestation and it was disgusting. Going to the bathroom at 2am, turning on the light and legit seeing 5 roaches crawling along the seat. Yeah, deal breaker.

"...roach trying to high five me." I died of laughter at that. It reminds of when I went with my mom to a fruit store, and a cockroach that was sitting on top of a pile of oranges, proceeded to wave at me. I told my mom, and she said that I was being ridiculous. The woman had no imagination.

It means white, as in white people. When you say the word 'white' it sounds like 'Y' with the 't' at the end, and it's also a lot fewer letters to type/text.

The day after a first date, we were texting about setting up a second date. I jokingly mentioned that there was a strip club down the road from where we had dinner the night before. He said it wasn't his thing, but he'd go if I wanted to. He was pretty relieved when I said I was joking. We've been married almost 3 years.

I get it. Personally I prefer listening to music only when I can devote my full attention to it, so I don't listen to music that often.

Noise is an issue for me. I usually don't listen to music in the car because I find it distracting, especially if there is also conversation. I listen to music at home quite a bit, and own more speakers than one person should be allowed to.
Legen ( wait for it ) dary 4 years ago
Many years ago, I was not just listen to music as the amount of noise I could tolerate was very little due to hear pain,and a normal day was noise enough for me. Doesn't mean that I didn't like music though.

I was asked on a first date to a party. I really liked this guy so to make his drive shorter I told him to pick me up at my mom' house. I got ready at my place, favorite jeans and a cute sweater. He picked me up dressed to the hilt. Turns out we were going to a ritzy wedding reception it an upscale neighborhood. This guy made a quick stop on the way to change into jeans. We were the only two dorks in jeans on fancy pants occasion. Pretty sure that's reason I married him. Now it's 38 years, 3 kids and 8 grandchildren later. Yeah, I got one of the good ones.

I joined a dating service with so many pretty ladies. One of them picked me, so I gave her a call. We had a basic "dinner & movies" type date. She was agitated and overreacted to everything I said during dinner. She said she was a nurse at a nearby psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. She explained she was acting a little weird because she was cooped up with psych patients every day, and it rubs off. I was so nervous, I started to walk out twice. After the movie, I dropped her off at her apartment. No invitation to come in, no problem, I wanted to get out of there. So I called the psych hospital a couple of days later since she didn't give me her number. I wanted to thank her anyway for going out with me. I asked if I could speak to Nurse XXXX. The phone went quiet for a moment, and then the receptionist said, "Sir, we don't have a nurse by that name, but we do have a patient. Do you want to speak to her?" Apparently, she was out on a weekend pass. Yikes!

I have so many of these. I think the one that fits this one is this: Met a guy online, we meet for coffee, hit it off and agree to dinner a few says later. We meet at a restaurant near a mall and have an hour to kill before our reservation so we go window shopping. He stops in a shoe store and wants to buy me a pair of shoes, I decline because I don't know him well enough to accept gifts and he becomes very insistent almost to the point of anger. Then he tells me that I wouldn't get to keep them anyway, he wants to buy them, have me wear for the date and then he will take the shoes home with him. Um...I noped right out of there and didn't even go have dinner with him.

I met this guy online, he seemed sweet and attentive. Because he knew I liked cats he invited me for a date in a cat cafe. The first thing he said to me was that he hated coffee and ordered a bottle of beer. Then another one and another one. While I was slowly drinking my first lattee he had 4 beers and he was getting tipsy. Then he started to say how he hates woman, because his mom kicked him out of the house because he was doing drugs and then his girlfriend kicked him out of the house because he was cheating on her. He said because of those b*tches he must live with his friend. Then as he was getting drunk he ordered a cake and then started to throw pieces of the cake to the cats around him, calling them b*tches. Then he said his friend, who is also his drug dealer, is in the neighbourhood so he could join us. And indeed a few minutes later the friend showed up. After that I really wanted to leave so I headed out. He said it was an amazing date and we should do it again. We didnt.

We were in a restaurant where there were TVs on the wall. He starts watching the news and making comments. The first story was about a nursing shortage. He starts ranting about how the "real problem" in this country are people like nurses and teachers who b*tch that they're being paid too little, when they should just shut up and be grateful they have jobs. "The reward of helping people should be enough. Teachers unions are ruining this country." I am an underpaid teacher. I knew it was done at that point, but thought I'd politely sit through the rest of dinner... And then there was a news story about a coach who was going to jail after having sex with a 16-year-old girl on his team. My date says, "He shouldn't have gotten in trouble for that. It's not like she's 12. These girls know what they're doing." Nope! I said, "This isn't going to work out" and left. In my car before I leave, message back this other guy who just asked me out.

My worst date, was about 20 years ago now i think. Had been talking to a guy online for about 6 months and we really seemed to click. I suggested we meet up for a date and see how it goes and he agrees. So he picks me up at my place for a movie. He'd sent me a picture online and let me say, not even close. He had a hunch back...not just a little one either. He was cross eyed and grossly over weight. I felt so duped. At the movies and the drive he didn't say one SINGLE word, nothing. I tried making conversation several times and he never engaged. After the movie he took me home and asked if he could come in. I said "no, this was a bad date, you didn't speak once i think you need to go". He was sitting in his car a little on my parents lawn/sidewalk for like half an hour. When he finally left he freaking peeled out on my parents grass. The next morning he sends me an online message saying he had such a great time and wanted to see me again LOL
