“My date brought her toddler.
I thought it was a date, considering we met on a dating site.
But she seemed to be only interested in interviewing me as a babysitter.”
Recently Reddit userSugarAndSpice89asked the men of the community, “What’s yourworst date?”
Unfortunately men had many tales up their sleeves, and revealed some pretty horrendous experiences.
Like, dating is truly an extreme sport.
and took her hands off the wheel.

She wanted to go to a specific restaurant that was known to be a little ‘shady.’
I picked her up and immediately knew this was a terrible idea.
She just came off really entitled and rude.
We got to the restaurant, sat down, and ordered drinks.
She convinced him to buy us a round of drinks and then completely ignored him.
I was shocked, but we continued the date.
“As I was driving her home, I asked why she wanted to go to that restaurant specifically.
I was 22 at the time and was under the impression that we were the same age.

I was the best man, so they wanted us to get to know each other.
She had absolutely zero interest in anything I said.
So, things were a little awkward.
The wedding day came, and we had to walk down the aisle together, which was awkward.
She didnt even dance down through the reception hall to the table.
I looked like an idiot dancing into the reception while she just casually strolled with an annoyed look.
Then she left the reception an hour later to go home…she was a lot of fun.”

“I talked with a girl on Tinder, and we decided to meet up at a restaurant.
When I arrived there I saw her holding hands with a guy.
She let go of his hand as I sat down and introduced me to her ‘cousin.’
He was at least half a foot taller than me and 80 pounds heavier.
I said sorry and pretended to walk back to the table.
I haven’t used Tinder since then, and I never will.”

She showed up as a completely different person.
The photos we exchanged pre-date were so real.
This was in the Plenty of Fish era."

“I was 19 and in the military.
I matched with an 18-year-old online, and we planned a date.
I didn’t have a car, but she was cool with picking me up and heading to dinner.
For starters, she looks way different from her online photos.
She relents, and we go to dinner at Applebee’s.
“Then she starts getting calls.
She ignores the first couple and then answers.
I then very sternly tell her to take me back to my base.
It was a very awkward and quiet drive back.

“A woman pulled out some research she’d done on me.
She asked me why I had co-signed for a house with my sister.
There wasn’t another date after that.”

Me: ‘I rode my bike.’
‘Ugh, I hate cyclists.
Whenever I see them I want to run them over in my car.’
Two minutes later, she asked, ‘So, where are you from?’
‘I grew up in Canada.’
‘Ive been to Montreal.’
‘Oh, cool, me too.
I really like it what do you think?’
‘I hated it.
I thought it was dirty, and the French people were really rude.’
I started talking about work and said I was in consulting.
She responded with, ‘Ugh, me too.
I didnt like a single consultant I met.’
We left after 30 minutes and never talked to each other again.”

I decided not to text her after the date.

We met up, and she arrived 30 minutes late.
The chatty and flirty person I’d been talking to just wasn’t there at all.
She had short, curt answers and was CONSTANTLY on her phone.
I felt like I was doing all the heavy lifting with the conversation.
“I saw red I refused to be treated like that by anyone.
He smiled and said, ‘I know what you’re doing…good luck to you!’
One of the worst, but definitely memorable dates.”

We were hanging out in a park, and she brought her friend.
Then the friend texted me while I was in front of her, ‘But I like you.’
Her friend wasn’t my key in, so I told her it wouldn’t happen.
Then my ex returned and was like, ‘So, did you succeed?’
Her friend started crying.
What a shitty day that was I love being 15.
Glad I don’t have to deal with that crap anymore.”

“I was asked out to a concert with a girl who had an extra ticket.
We met two hours before the concert.
She was talking about how the singer used to send her dick pics.
She also admitted that she was banned from the band’s concerts for a while due to stalking them.
I wanted to give the band at least a chance, but it was awful.
That was our first and only date.”

“I have two bad date stories.
“The other bad date was with a gal who brought a toddler.
I thought it was a date, considering we met on a dating site.
But she seemed to be only interested in interviewing me as a babysitter.
Like, she had zero interest in anything besides finding someone to watch her kid.

“I dated this woman after getting out of a serious relationship.
I took her to a jazz club because I thought it’d be ‘sophisticated.’
It was louder than a schoolyard.
The few times I could get in conversation, I talked about my ex.
10 years later, we’re married, but not to each other.
Sorry for the awful date, [X]!”
It was my literal first-ever date.
We clicked and decided to meet.
I showed up at her place with flowers and was nicely dressed.
I was met by her parents and sibling at the door.
The father was in the military and grilling me.
I was nervous and felt awkward.
After 10 minutes, she finally came downstairs.
She gave me a quick hug, and gave me a printed picture of her.
We would be the ‘it couple’ on campus, and then we’d marry after graduation.
Again, this was my first date.”
“Thankfully, dinner ends quickly.
She said she wasn’t a huge horror fan, so this will sink the date.
I asked her, and she said it was a great idea.
I said I had, and I was going to bed.
The next day, I started to take a stab at fade out.
She didn’t like that, and I blatantly said, ‘I’m sorry.
I didn’t feel the spark.
Besides, I think it would be best if we both attend college single.’
She cried and demanded a few more dates.
Fast forward a few weeks, and we have pre-freshman orientation in the summer.
I met a woman who was 100% more my pop in there, and we clicked.
Around this time the catfish started calling and bugging me.
She said she heard I was dating someone else.
She wouldn’t stop calling, texting, and messaging me on AIM and Myspace.
I had to block her.
We eventually broke up, and after we did, my catfish would ‘run into me’ on campus.
