34 Absolutely Disastrous Date Fails

If your date says they like books, you might want to ask what they mean by that. A Redditor recalled one of the more surprising dates he’s been on, which took a left turn when the woman uttered the fateful phrase “I don’t usually show people this so early,” before pulling a frayed book out of her purse. When he asked what book it was, she looked at him and said, “I eat paper, and I eat this book.” 

He said that he “played it as normally as he could” for the rest of the date, and that the book-eating “wasn’t the real deal-breaker,” which goes to show how hard dating is these days. 

Other Redditors have remembered the most disastrous date fails they’ve experienced, and a little wasabi to the eye is the least of it.
