The Reality of First Dates
Many of us hope for magic on a first date, but things often take unexpected turns. Awkward moments are common, and sometimes the best option is a quick exit. Below are a few surprising dating misadventures.
Dinner Disaster: The Costly Date Escape
I took a girl to an expensive restaurant at her request. She ordered a $25 appetizer, a $45 steak, and a $15 drink. The entire time, she was glued to her phone, answering calls and texts. The waitress noticed and discreetly asked if I wanted separate bills. I quickly agreed, paid my share, and left her at the table.
Dodgeball Date: A Painful Mistake
He invited me and a friend to play dodgeball with his group. During the game, he grabbed a ball and threw it at my crotch, shouting, “Wham, bam, right in the clam!” I immediately turned to my friend, said goodbye, and left. Later, he sent several texts accusing me of being “immature.”
Military Date Gone Wrong: From Strippers to War
On a date with a military guy, he spent most of the time comparing strippers in Toronto to those in our city. When I asked about his volunteer work, he bluntly replied, “I joined the military to kill people, not help people!” I quickly paid my bill, chugged my beer, and left.
Stalker in the Making: A Quick Escape
Within 10 minutes of meeting him, he made inappropriate sexual comments and joked about stalking me if I rejected him. A helpful bartender allowed me to slip out the back door, and I made a quick escape.
Online Nightmare: From Bizarre to Dangerous
I met someone from a dating app, and he showed up erratic, with pupils the size of dinner plates. He told me he forgot his wallet, so I covered the first round. On the way to the next pub, he rambled nonsense and ended with a story about trying to drown his ex’s chihuahuas. I pretended to head to the pub but ran all the way home instead.
Boozy Lunch: A Date Gone Awry
At a 1 p.m. lunch date, she was already drunk. She invited me back to her place, saying her 2-year-old son wouldn’t even notice. I quickly called her a cab and left the scene.
