Dating can be a rollercoaster, and some first dates end in complete disaster. One person shared how their date wore a Bluetooth camera headset through dinner, while another had to walk out after their date accused them of secretly flirting with a waitress. In a truly bizarre twist, a guy discovered he had been catfished in person when a woman showed up pretending to be her more attractive best friend, who was the one he originally gave his number to.

Some dates turned rude quickly. A woman mocked her date’s small car, then blocked him on social media mid-dinner. Another demanded her date pay for her meal plus take-out for her two friends, calling it something “a real man” would do. In one instance, a girl spent the entire date texting and yelling at the waitress, prompting the guy to quietly leave after just 15 minutes.

There were also moments that were simply disturbing. One person showed up at a date’s house to find a pile of toenail clippings on the coffee table, while another ended things after their date threw trash out the car window. A man was shocked when a woman bluntly told him to shave his beard if he wanted the relationship to work — he dropped her back home without a word.

Some situations were unintentionally hilarious. A man realized his date was secretly complaining about him while telling a story about her “last date,” not recognizing him because he had shaved. Others experienced pure awkwardness, like a blind date that lasted less than five minutes when the woman opened the door and said, “Ew.” These stories are reminders that while dating can lead to love, it can also lead to unforgettable disasters.
