Met this lawyer dude for lunch, right? Right after we ordered food, his phone rings, and guess what? It's business call time...for the whole date. I stuck around - old school manners, I guess - but when he tried a kiss goodbye after ghosting me on the convo, I was out.
This guy kept trying to hold my hand and sneakily touch my leg. I was quick to put him in the 'wrong' zone. When he escalated to grabbing my boob, I pulled the ultimate move: "You can leave now or I'm screaming." He bounced. Men, am I right?
This guy went full Seinfeld all night and I lasted just long enough for him to hit the bathroom. The table next to me? They offered to cover for me with a fake emergency. Need I say more?
Turns out, people decide if there's a second date way faster than you’d think - about 19 minutes! Looks count, but being a decent human and a good talker? Even bigger deals. Oh, and if you start chatting about intimacy the first night? That’s a nope from most. Fun fact: caring about the planet? Instant brownie points.
This guy dropped, "I hold the women I date to a higher standard than I hold myself" like it was a casual convo. Spoiler: It wasn’t. Instant cringe alert.
Military base date vibes: fancy car inside a trash cyclone, followed by a Wendy's drive-thru debacle. His card? Declined. Guess who paid? This girl. Spoiler: No second date here.
This dude acted like the king of the world, treated the server and me like peasants, and then got surprised I could pay for my part. Then he wanted to follow me home. No chance, buddy. I made sure he didn't.
Want that second date? Hinge spills the tea - timing, enthusiasm, and showing you're genuinely interested is the magic combo. Follow-up texts the same day or next? Yes, please! Just don’t try to plan the whole wedding right after date one.
Went on a date where Mr. Mocker decided to roast ALL my favorite stuff and then double down by trash-talking anyone who enjoyed those things. Heated vibes and borderline threatening energy = shut down mode activated.
Got handed a gift bag with a black lacy thong inside. Awkward silent shock. Somehow I stayed for a drink. He was way different in person than texting. After a 30-min odd date, I escaped. Tried kissing me; guy was living in his own fantasy world. Nope for round two.
Went on an internet blind date with a law student, who turned out to be a big ol' Christian Right extremist. His masterclass in obedience wasn’t quite the vibe I was going for. Early dodge, thank you very much.

Late arrival plus no wallet = me paying. When I called him out, his comeback was epic: "Did you want me on time or with my wallet?" I just told him to think about that. Mic drop.
Imagine being hit with a barrage of hypothetical questions like, "If I was late from work, would you eat alone or wait for me?" and then realizing he’s a decade older and 75 pounds heavier than his profile. No filter, no shame.
Met this gal at a bar, laughed a bit too hard, and well... beer flew everywhere. Why she stuck around? Mystery of the century.
Showed up suited up, brought a briefcase to a dive bar, dissed vegetarians, got salty losing at ping pong, and gave a weird twist to dishwashing chores. What a wild ride.
This one was wild - he rattled off a very specific fantasy he wanted in the bedroom, name-dropped his brother’s similar setup, and only bought me an energy drink. Talk about a weird combo.
Claimed he was a non-smoker, but I caught him puffing in the car before the date. Tried to play it off, but yeah, caught in the act.
He took me to a place where his daughter was the server. Throughout dinner, he bragged about how hot I was - making his kid super uncomfortable. Turns out he wanted his family to 'know he found someone.' Awkward vibes all around.
At the zoo, he loudly bragged about which animals he could beat in a fight. Hint: None. Then he wouldn’t stop comparing me favorably to his ex. Three days later, surprise! He got back with that ex.
He asked if I was 100% female, which I passed. Then he said he’d bail immediately on a trans date - and guess what? He did.
He scarfed all my garlic knots then went on a rant about how awful women were. Toss in some racist drama, and the date peaked when he unbuckled his pants and asked for a blow job. Block city.
Early high school date, shared a blanket with this guy during fireworks. He kept trying to shove his hands under my shirt and pants, despite his mom sitting right there. He didn't get 'no,' thankfully I dumped him soon after.
He talked nonstop about his County Commissioner gig and then dove deep into his mom’s cancer battle, including diaper changes. First date? More like therapy session. Didn’t ask a thing about me.
I’m gluten & dairy free. He insisted on ordering for me because he "knew best." When I corrected the order, he acted like I embarrassed him. Spoiler: Being interested means asking questions, not ordering for someone.
This guy kept grilling me about whether I'd been beat up. Maybe that’s not the smoothest opener? No wonder I declined going home with him.
Showed up late, claimed he’d already eaten, skipped ordering food, then tried to bounce to his place early. I deleted his number on the spot. Best decision ever.
Took his shirt off in a crowded bar to flash a tattoo, squeezed my thigh and critiqued my body, then licked my face when I said no thanks to making out. 90’s dating was wild, people.
We met for ice cream. He said he was good but I should get my own. Then he spent the whole time talking about the terrible people at his job. Text vs reality disparity: huge.
Had tacos with a guy who told me he was on To Catch A Predator TV show. Call me starstruck? Nah, just super creeped out.
We talked for three hours, and I could barely get a sentence out. He thought it was amazing and wanted a second date. Nope, thanks.
A friend asked me to make pancakes (not a date!), but at some point, he decided it was our first date. Nope, you bribed me with pancakes. Betrayal!
Blurted out he made $600 an hour, insisted I pay $12, then shocked me by flashing his 'equipment' in the parking lot. Definitely a first and last.
20 years older than the pics, 100 pounds heavier, rocking pajamas and crocs - Mr. Rich lived in his sister’s basement driving her car. The bill? "I'll get this one." Yeah, right.
He said picnic plans, but it was really a family BBQ at his mom’s place. Nothing says romance like meeting the whole crew on date one!
He bragged about living on couchsurfing & unemployment, loved National Geographic for the "bare boobies," and wants to join a cult because they make all your decisions. I ran like the wind.
Self-proclaimed expert dished advice about complicated drinks, but he’d never actually worked as a barista. Total douche alert.
He was at the bar since 6 PM, got wasted, called his roommate mid-date, and disappeared for a solid 15. Why I didn’t bolt then? Mystery forever.
Handsome lawyer fessed up to quitting law for stand-up, then hit me with some not-so-funny racist bits. That date derailed fast.
Grown man likes to focus on 'boob curves' and tries to lure me to his secluded hot tub. Sorry buddy, that's a no-go.
Setup by friends, he started making out moves early and told friends we were an item before I said otherwise. Now he’s married to someone he met six months later.
From offering $10 for my jacket to shoplifting and stealing my stamp card, topped with an immediate s*x request. Nope nope nope.
Enjoying dinner with a live band, then surprise: my date’s dad is playing and takes my seat. Awkward levels: 1000.
Told a guy I liked math, he was like “Girls like math?!” Then went full homophobe on reality shows. Exit stage left.
He was already hanging with a friend (who worked as waitress) who appeared uninvited during our date. I dipped.
Even after I said no physical touch, he kept trying. Current boyfriend? Total opposite experience. Lucky me.
He was 15 years older than his profile said, threw a fit over my ride, ranted about women, and wrote fake Yelp reviews about me. Classic.
Went to the park where he boasted about doing "all the s*x" except, quote, "f*ck a rhino." That's one for the books.
He was a so-called local author, living with parents and delivering pizzas, but he kept negging me. We both blogged about the bad date. Entertaining for everyone else!
Got roped into a "group" date that was just me and two friends watching the Spongebob movie while they made out practically on me. Yikes!
An hour late, drunk off their mind, and then puked on me in the freezing cold. Had to ride home in a t-shirt. Never again.
One wanted me to play improv, and I rambled about how rabies is cool. Another slobbed a kiss right inside my ear and then walked me to our cars. Ouch.
Went out with a dentist who straight up said my smile needs braces and whitening. Didn’t stick around after that.
Met a Tinder guy who’d been at Huddle House for 30 mins already with a shared milkshake I hadn’t asked for. Nervous shaking, dirty clothes, barely talked. Later invited me to a farm bonfire, nope!
German guy lost keys, tried to fake a call with a friend to cover it. I saw through the drama and ended the date early.
Had to ditch a date for ignoring my food restrictions, and then got hateful messages. Now happily with someone who actually cares.
He was scared to drive, promised me a loungefly bag if I tried on lingerie at Victoria’s Secret. No way! I staged an emergency to bail.
He chowed down on two meals holding a fork in each hand, chewing like a piranha, all while complaining about being a plumber. A full-on spectacle.
Dude rocked jeans with bling, flipped antiques on eBay, loved wine nights watching The Bachelor with his friends, and blamed my single status on me. Bye!
Having dinner, a mosquito landed on his neck so I slapped it like it was nothing. Little did I know it was a memorable moment for us!
We had to climb a fence to leave the lot. He put his hand out to help me but let me fall flat on my face. Not cool.
Brought the check, stared at it for a solid 10 minutes. Finally agreed to split, then disappeared. Ghosted instantly.
Ordering pho, he just nodded and said '100%' to everything. I raced through my meal just to make it through the silence.
I date a Shi Tzu. He's charming, respectful, but when he drops a stinky surprise on the sidewalk? Time to break out the bags.
Visited his house where he claimed his family were werewolves who howled in the living room. He said I should cover my neck for safety because he was a vampire. Yeah, that happened.
Rented a boat for our date. He freaked out over a storm, got us wet, invited me in to dry off, then whipped out home depot rope for bondage practice. Lots of nope.
