As he drove us to the restaurant he asked “why should I give you a chance to be my girl?” I got out at the stop light.
#3
Date lasted only 7 minutes. I picked her up, let her go on my phone to pick a song, and she went through my texts. I drove her back home.
#5
Told me I was using words that were too big... I said "deliberately"... really?
#7
He said he wanted a serious relationship with me.. His wife called, she was in labour.
#8
Rude to the waiter and ordered for me. Absolutely not 😂

Not that it's done anymore, but the man asks his date what she'd like, then orders for her. He does NOT choose what she'll eat.
#9
First and last blind date years ago. "I'm so glad this worked out while my wife is in Greece." (i had no idea he was married w/kids but the coworker who set us up DID).
#10
Towards the end he said “ let’s split the bill so I know if you really like me or if this was just a free meal for you” I payed the whole bill, quietly called an uber and left him there.
#11
He called his mom to help calculate the tip 😭
#12
told.me I needed to switch to dayshift because it would be my responsibility to raise our kids... 1. I dont want kids 2. it was the first date 3. when I pointed this out, he asked why I was afraid to let him love me
#13
He wouldn't talk to me, at all. I asked multiple things and the answers i got were head shakes and "Mhm". After a while, i got tired and told him "If you don't talk to me there's no point in being here" in an awkward tone. He got up and went to the bathroom, 5 minutes later he comes back, eyes red, and tells me that what i said made him cry.
#14
Not even a first date but he told me his favorite movie was fifty shades of grey. That’s no one’s favorite movie.
#15
Asked him if he was enjoying his food and he said it’s not as tasty as I’m going to be.
#16
“I like to read” “oh that’s nice I’m too spontaneous for books”. 🤨🧐 say what?
#17
He recorded the entire date with his glasses.
#18
I told him I can’t consume dairy, because I have intolerances. He asked if that can be inherited, I said yes then he asked me how will I feed our baby then… If the baby gets my intolerance. On the first date…

For those who actually wonder - mammals are, as a rule, lactose intolerant after they are weaned, except for the human mutants from Northern Europe and East Africa. So the fact that the OP was lactose intolerant (NOT allergic) as an adult will not affect her infant's ability to digest lactose while they (the infant) are breastfeeding.
#19
He told me it was cute I know a lot of words but I don’t have to use all of them. I have a doctorate in linguistics and literary analysis…
#20
twenty minutes into a date asked me "why do you smile so much?" in a near disgusted tone. It was in fact because the weather was nice, and I try to enjoy my life. hard to imagine somehow.
#21
I was talking a lot bc I was nervous and he asked “do you ever shut up?”
Luke || Kira (he/she) 1 day ago
Like w*f, do men even LIKE women? Half of this list is just men scoffing at women who are talkative, nerdy, educated, bookwormy, successful, and I'm just there like "those are all the BEST traits, what do you even WANT"
#22
On the first date he tried to Amazon ship semolina flour to my house so he would have a reason to come over and cook for me. I was like “why can’t you order it to your house and bring it” and he got super upset about it ⁉️
#23
Picked me up in his Tesla and on the drive to the restaurant he put it on autopilot and turned a full 90° to talk to me with his hand under his chin.
#24
He told me I was lying about where I grew up and that no such place existed…I told him I grew up in Montana…
#25
Took his socks off at dinner. LEFT THEM ON THE TABLE THROUGHOUT.
Nikki Sevven 1 day ago
I would have hit the ground running the instant the first sock landed on the table.

Said “aren’t you too old to be starting a new career” I was 30 at the time.
#29
Said I don’t do kisses on the first date and he proceeded to say ‘I’ll be the exception”, leaned I and I step to the left.
#30
I was like “I’m setting boundaries” and he has the audacity to go “ I don’t really like boundaries”.
#31
He asked what my hobbies were. I said I liked to crochet. He proceeded to call crocheting “super lame”. He didnt have any hobbies himself.
#32
After I said anything about myself he’d reply with “do you think you’re better than me”
#33
I asked what he liked to do for fun and he genuinely said “I hate small talk… let’s talk about aliens or the meaning of life” …. Like dude I just want to know if we have overlapping hobbies.
#34
Honestly it’s petty … but he ate off my plate. He didn’t ask. He just took a tender off my plate. I was so upset I literally didn’t touch the rest of the food and never spoke again. Because who does that!?!
#35
Told me 30 minutes in that he doesn’t believe birds are real.
#37
He kept referring to himself in the 3rd person.

Michael Largey 1 day ago

#39
We didn't even get to the first date..he sent me links to Facebook posts talking about how he hopes i don't break his heart and how hard it is to love him.

#41

If I hadn't lied about my height, my wife would've never met me. On her online profile, her max height was 6'6". It's a good thing I rounded down.
#42

CommunityMember 1 day ago

#43
Stopped responding to me the entire week before planned date so I assumed he didn’t want to go out so I minded my own business then 4 hours after the date was suppose to happen he texted me “you stood me up” noo I texted you once a day every day up until the date and was left on read so I assumed you were not interested.
#44
Busy bar. He was drunk when I turned up. After 10mins he got down on one knee and proposed. The whole bar went silent and looked at us. I wanted to just cry and run.
#45
I waited for him in a book store before our first date and ended up buying a book and he said that was weird.
Nikki Sevven 1 day ago
Go to a book store and—gasp—buy a book?! Unheard of. Go to a book store and buy a stack of books? Yep.
#46
They randomly brought an ex they were still friends with. I arrived and they were both sitting at the booth. I “went to get something from my car” and didn’t come back.
#47
he went on about how he hated big cars and trucks after watching me get out of my tahoe…. then proceeded to ask if he could drive my car…. and was upset when i said i don’t let other ppl drive my car.
#48
He made me pay him back for half the meal, only after I said I wasn’t interested in seeing him again.
tresgatos72 1 day ago
And that kind of thinking is why I always pay my share of the bill. I don't want the guy thinking I owe him anything!🤨
#49
we hugged after the date and he said (very serious): "I know you wouldn't have been able to sleep without a hug from me".
#50
He told me he didn’t eat vegetables! Like ever! He said he didn’t like them so he didn’t eat vegetables at all!
#51
I asked him if he was going to ask me what I do for work next, he responded "it wouldn't matter".
Flat_Alien 1 day ago (edited)
How can you not be interested in what your partner does with bigger part of a lifetime??? Do you even care to get to know each other?
#52
This guy spent 15 mins talking about his stools and where they rated on the bristol stool chart.
#53
He said, “I really like you, you remind me of my mom.”
tresgatos72 1 day ago
I had a guy tell me that I reminded him so much of his little sister, and he couldn't wait to introduce me to her and his mom. There was no 2nd date.
#54
He got mad I didn’t know the beef between drake and Kendrick.
Michael Largey 1 day ago
Between who and who? (Strictly rhetorical question here. No answer sought or wanted.)
#55
he complained about money as we were ordering food so I only ordered fries. he ordered a bunch of food. after we ate he told me I had to pay him back for the fries.
Earonn - 4 hours ago
The people in the replies know quite well what agreements OP and her date made before. They totally know that the date didn't offer to pay first, and that OP was to blame. Interesting. They know soooo much about the situation. Luckily, they could establish that the woman is to blame, phew!
#56
On the date the guy was cleaning his nails with his fork while we are eating dinner
#57
He told me on the date he was married, in an open relationship and had a child. No thank you.
#58
Asked me if I was on the pill 10 minutes into the date….. I walked out
#59
He asked me out for dinner. 4 days later asked if I could send him half the money. Boy bye.
Crystalwitch60 1 day ago
Tbh if it’s a first date it should always be split the bill anyway, he shouldn’t have to ask..
#60
He talked about ants the whole date. THE WHOLE DATE.
Luke || Kira (he/she) 1 day ago
Neurodivergent people also need love, y'know. I hope he's currently geeking out about ants with some fellow ant-person 😁
#61
Just randomly said " by the way my friends call me a walking red flag" then started laughing.
#62
We watched a movie at his house…you know what he picked? CARS! Like KACHOW Lightning McQueen Cars….and then proceeded to recite every single Mater part with enthusiasm.
#64
My sister invited me & the guy I was seeing at the time to dinner. After we all eat he tells my sister “I’m not paying for you”. SHE invited US out???? In what world omg.
Flat_Alien 1 day ago
Sister: "don't worry, I already paid for you all". Let him realize how much of an rude idiot he is
#65
He asked me what i majored in and I told him psychology he told me he always wanted to read people's minds.
Michael Largey 1 day ago
Tell him to take all the courses twice. Then he'll have a para psychology degrees.
#66
He said: "I love you, say it back even if you don't mean it." When i did, he said :"I feel like you don't even mean it." and got mad.

#68
Dude brought a clown nose and asked me to honk it.

He said he wrote me a poem. It was our first date. And even cringier…he said it was suppose to be a song but he forgot his guitar.

#72
He ordered and made me try escargot.
#73
He told me I was the 1st he’d never gotten flowers for…
What do you think ?

The most important thing to focus on before a first date is safety. Meet in a public place, tell others where you’ll be and who you’ll be with, and have an exit strategy already in mind.

Dear whoever decides the title of an article, could we please not imply that trauma builds character? I know the title needs to generate engagement, but language is a powerful tool that should be wielded responsibly. "Yeah, his dad beat him with a belt over the slightest mistake, but it's okay, that builds character" is not a narrative to propagate in this day and age. Far more harmful in the long run than swearing in the comments.

Guessing someone at BP had a rough time. This is not the first 'bad date' themed thread this week.
