34 Absolutely Disastrous Date Fails

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.

leeliop 1y ago Edited 1y ago 3rd or 4th date with a miserable french woman Sitting in a restaurant and I was looking at the menu muttering to myself hmm whats the cheapest thing on here (non ironically sadly, poor sense of romance as was single 99% of the time). She started crying. 12 Reply ...
Prize_Ocelot_7866 1y ago One of my best friends went on a first date last year where the guy 'forgot his bank card' so she had to pay for everything (all suggested by him). Не ordered nachos and told her 'these nachos are making me fart' and lifted up his leg and farted. Не then CLICKED AT THE WAITRESS when he needed her to come over. Safe to say there wasn't a second date. 21 Reply ...
evilnoodle84 1y ago . Не picked something out of his belly button, sniffed it, then held it out to me and asked what I thought it might be. Also, he had been in a fight the night before and turned up missing his two front teeth. 71 Reply ...
Zwirnor 1y ago I had a date with a guy and it went well, so I decided to go for a second date. In the same breath, halfway through the dinner, he declared that I reminded him of his dead mother, that he loved me and he was certain he would marry me. Spoiler alert, he did not, in fact marry me. There was no third date. 37 Reply ...
thecuriousiguana 1y ago actually, I think for my age I've achieved a hell of a lot Said the (admittedly very hot) 25 year old with a MLM franchise and in the process of setting up an electronics retail website that had zero chance of success against Currys, Amazon and all the others 26 Reply ...
andromeda_starr 1y ago Met up and the first thing he said was, There are some rules for this date. First rule was to hold his hand the entire time. Second rule was to kiss him at the end of the date. Safe to say, both rules were broken. 21 Reply ...

tomkeys78 1y ago My second date ended in a reluctant car chase (me chasing her crooked business partner)quite slowly through the country lanes. Prior to that she had me sit in a hospital car park in my car (she was crouched in the back seat) while we waited for said crooked business partner. At one point I genuinely thought I was on some hidden camera prank type show. It ended when she leapt out the car near her home shouting I know where that bastard is going!!, Didn't do a third date. 82 Reply ...

Fit-Special-3054 0 1y ago My dad set me up on a blind date at 17. With a polish girl who didn't speak English, I don't speak polish. I thought it'd be fine because we were both living in Copenhagen at the time so assumed she'd speak Danish. Nope, it was the most awkward date Ive ever had. She apparently enjoyed it and wanted to do it again though. Found out the reason my Dad set it up was so he could be alone with her mum. Couldn't even be mad, well played dad,well played. 100 Reply ...
screws 13y ago Not entirely a fail, but something out of the ordinary, especially in our age. I met this girl at college. She was one beautiful girl, and I even joined a choir to get to know her better. I felt good chemistry between us, and even our mutual friends noticed the reaction between us. Eventually, I built up the courage to ask this girl out on a date. Things seemed to be going fine until the end of the date. She told me she was planning on becoming a nun.
Drop-Dead-Fred 13y ago Edited 13y ago My very first date ever, we went to see The Passion of the Christ. Edit: We were 16. I don't remember whose idea it was, but the cloud of shame and humility with which we walked back to the car afterward was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Kiss at the end of the night? НА. I don't even think we made eye contact again until we saw each other at school the next week. 544 ...
nellfromthemovienell 13y ago I've posted this exact story before, but feel it's applicable and it's still fairly recent. I am openly gay, and everyone in my office knows. A new guy started several months ago. His desk is located directly beside mine. We quickly became close friends. One day at work, he e-mails me and asks me if I was busy Saturday. I say no, and he tells me to come over and bring rollerblades. So Saturday arrives. I show up, we go rollerblading. Не buys me ice cream at the park. We go see Bridesmaids. Не invites me upstairs.
Kiki0223 13y ago 0 Set up with a guy who talking about how much he hated his baby mama within the first 5 minutes of the date. Не threatened to punch the waitress in the nose because he didn't get enough sauce with his food. Then asked me to go to the parking lot and do drugs with him. I left instead 312 ...
 13y ago Edited 13y ago Met a guy on the bus. Не asked me out on a date, I was apprehensive about it but I thought I should keep an open mind. We went out a bar for our first date. I was trying to keep it casual so I met him there and purchased my own drink at the bar before he got there. Не then made me pay for his drink because he just didn't bring ANY money. Then he kept urging us to leave the bar, yet he didn't have plans for where we should go.
mittens107 1y ago We went for lunch and he spent the entire time talking about the holiday he went on to Thailand with his ex. Even showed me pictures of them there. I stayed polite and we ended the date. When he asked me out again, I declined and he asked if it was because he chose Frankie and Benny's + 154 Reply ...
 . 13y ago I went on a date with a Redditor. We met up, got dinner, saw a movie, and went back to my place to just hang out and chat. Long story short, he got on my computer, got on Reddit, and one awkward hour later, I drove him home. Y'all, if you aren't impressed with a date, just let them know. Don't reddit at their house awkwardly and act really weird. No bueno. + 1.7K ...
Jazzy0082 1y ago Blind date set up by a mutual friend. She was Norwegian, and I mentioned I had a Norwegian friend and asked if she knew him (this was in Prague and a lot of people in the expat communities all seemed to know each other). She stared at me for about 5 seconds then got up and left without a word. Asked my Norwegian mate about it, turned out he'd shagged her the previous week. 364 Reply ...
throwtheflames123 1y ago Went on a first date with a guy to a Japanese place. Wasn't comfortable with using chopsticks, asked the guy if I should just get a fork. Не tells me it's embarrassing when people ask for a fork instead of chopsticks. So I soldier on through - navigating these chopsticks - and I go to pick up a piece of sushi and accidentally flick a chunk of wasabi. In slow motion, I watch the sizeable piece of wasabi hit him square in the eyeball. Не spends the rest of the date washing his eye in the bathroom. I felt so bad
grouchytortoise 1y ago Agreed to meet at a bar round the corner from him. Не was over 15 mins late despite it being <5 mins walk away. Не turned up in sweatpants and at some point said he wasn't wearing underwear (I was wearing a nice dress & makeup). Then he complains that he's being investigated at work for taking nudes in work toilets and sending them to a coworker. Worst part was my colleagues at work the next day told me I can't expect a perfect man :') + 407 Reply ...
mStealingTheTowels 1y ago My worst date was with a guy who looked down his nose at me when I told him where I went to university and then later admitted to being a Brony. That taught me never to have dinner with someone on a first date. My husband's worst date was with a woman who told him that she occasionally did meth. + 431 Reply ...
Mighty_joosh 1y ago Tinder date, had not checked out his socials first (lesson learned) We went to a lovely beachfront bar for a drink and as soon as he sat down he made a remark along the lines of yeah it's a lovely place until the funny coloured immigrants' boats wash up and ruin it and when I said it was a bit harsh his response was that the best place for them was in the sea Fastest I have finished a pint, there was not a second date, and when I went to block his tinder I decided to
supersayingoku 1y ago Edited 1y ago Probably not THE worst but the most recent: Went on a date, thought we hit it off, kisses and making out, so far so good She asks me to come to a bar near her place for drinks next time, over an hour of travel, when we sit down she says she wants to be friends and thought it is nicer to tell it in person HOW'S DRAGGING MY ASS AN HOUR AWAY DURING RUSH HOUR IS NICER THAN A SIMPLE TEXT BLUD?! That was a few months ago, I deleted all apps on
beermad 1y ago I went on a date with a Colombian woman who just casually dropped into conversation that when she was still in Colombia, a boyfriend who'd upset her was killed by one of her friends. I don't know if she was trying to impress me or trying to scare me, but I made sure that was the last date with her. + 550 Reply ...
SomeHSomeE 1y ago Tinder date. We both got pretty drunk and went to a late night bar. Was going ok but not amazing, until she ended up chatting up some other guy and getting his number. I'm not expecting exclusivity with someone I'm only on a first date with but come on don't go chatting up other guys. My mate went on a date and he went to the toilet. When he came back she'd gone, and the guys on the next table said she'd gone through all his pockets in his jacket before she left (thankfully he had his
iseusester 1y ago There was the guy who said he did not have children (my online dating profile made it clear that I neither have nor want children), and then dropped into conversation halfway through dinner that he did, in fact, have children but it's okay because I don't see them often. Dude! That's worse! Oh, and the guy who spent the entire time comparing me to his ex-wife. By the end of a glass of wine I wanted to ask for her number so I could congratulate her on being rid of this dingbat. + 463 Reply ...
medusozoan 13y ago I went out with a guy who wore the puffy shirt from Seinfeld. I swear this was the same shirt. i looked beyond that, or at least tried to, and continued with the date. he later had a meltdown in his car because i said hello to a male friend we had seen while we were at a coffee shop and laughed when he told a story to me. he said my laugh was sexual towards him and that he shouldn't have 'fallen for me' so quickly and wouldn't have if he'd known i'd 'cheat on him
 13y ago Met a girl on an online dating website, seemed normal enough, take her out to dinner for our second date. After having good conversation on different topics she casually says I don't usually show people this so early. She then proceeds to pull out a book where all the pages are frayed. I'm like, oh cool what book is that. It was something I can't even remember but the next thing she said was I eat paper, and I eat this book. I tried to play it as normally as I could and asked her questions about
CliffyGiro 1y ago Edited 1y ago I went on a terrible date once. The problem was entirely me. Night before the date I'd had a fight( :boxing match) Spent the entire date dissecting what I did wrong and what I did right in the fight, was analysing video that my coach took on his phone and everything. Poor lassie got to speak a grand total of two sentences the entire date. She ghosted me immediately thereafter and I 100% deserved it. I learned a lesson, if you've got a load of nonsense in your head that you need to verbalise
Smart-Grapefruit-583 1y ago Не turned up a foot shorter than he said and at least a decade older making it worse in tight white jeans Then as he came in tried to lunge at me to kiss me open mouthed. Dodged it and just left. Got a text saying was it the jeans?? + 1.5K Reply ...

reddit_isgarbage 1y ago . 1st online date. We met at a bar that we both drove to. She proceeds to get absolutely shitfaced. I called a company that drives your drunk ass home in your car and paid for it. Later on, her son, who was about 20, called me to thank me for getting his mom home safely. 9 Reply ...
