It’s rough out there, folks.
Reddit userSugarAndSpice89asked the men of the community, “What’s yourworst date?”
But do you know who else has beenthroughit when it comes to sex, love, and relationships?
Just like men, women didn’t hold anything back when Reddit usercheckmeowt904posed the samedating question.
yo proceed with caution.
“I went on a date with a man who I met through a dating app.
He then took me to a gentlemans club 30 minutes away.
After the show, he drove us back drunk and speeding in his convertible.
He was messaging other women on the dating app at the same time.
He ended the night by saying, ‘So Ill be hearing from you again?
Because Im such a cool guy, and dates with me are the best.'”

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 catfished (before the term was invented, we called it ‘Myspace angled’).
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.”
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 throw 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.
Can you explain?’
while I watched him flounder for a response.
That’s when I went into the bathroom to call someone to bail me out.
Luckily, by the time he called me, I had already extracted myself.
When the bill came, I insisted on paying for my own food.
He got super upset and literally argued with me.
I wasn’t going to let this guy have anything he thought he could hold over me.
I thanked him for the date, practically ran for my car, and blocked him.

I was so flabbergasted that I was speechless for several seconds.
“I rushed everything so he would take me home.
He started to take his seat belt off and lean over.
Thankfully, a car showed up behind us, and he started grumbling about it.
He started the car back up and finally took me home.

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 had gone out with this guy a few times.
He literally invited another girl to the same Halloween party he invited me to.
Well, that girl and I got along famously and had a great time at the party.
Then, he quickly started making out with a brand-new girl he’d just met.

“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.

It was super weird.
There was something about the way he did it that just made me feel deeply uncomfortable.”
u/One_Life_8852

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.”

“A guy picked me up on his motorcycle to take me back to his place.
The only other place to sit was his lap, which he alerted me to.
I chose a crate instead.
Shortly after that, I used our initial agreement to request a ride back home.
The next day, I texted something about feeling we were incompatible and wishing him well.
He said, ‘Your loss.'”

“A friend fixed me up with her newly single cousin (it was a blind date).
She claimed he’d be perfect for me.
We met in a pub, and for nearly two hours, he talked about nothing but himself solidly.
His life, job, workout routine, political opinion, and so on.
He never asked me a single question and I couldn’t get a word in.
Every time I tried to speak, he held his hand up to silence me.
I was so annoyed and disgusted with his arrogance that I just said, ‘Excuse me?’
I haven’t spoken to that friend since.
I have no idea why she thought I would like a man like that.
He was awful this was quite a while ago, but it really turned me off.”

I decided not to text her after the date.

“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.”

“He picked me up because my car was in the shop.
When I went back to his place, he started slamming beers (I don’t drink).
He made his move, and I told him I wasn’t feeling it.
I spent days scared he’d come back since he knew where I lived.”

“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.

“This guy thought I was really nice and smart.
I actually had fun until he told me I couldn’t go on ‘dressing like this.’
But we’d still end up in bed together, so he’d keep in contact.
Spoiler alert: we did NOT keep in contact and sleep together.”

“I went out with a guy a few times.
I was on high alert for months after that.
People are bananas.”

“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]!”
u/Rush_Clasic

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.”

21. and took her hands off the wheel.
Now Im very, very honest with my online pics and info.
The dude was far from an oil painting himself.
We talked awkwardly for a bit and decided to get some food.
It turned out to be a pretty dead down, and there was only a Subway open.
So we ate at Subway.
He had about as much of a personality as a wet sock.
Then he asked if we could go look in some ‘geeky’ store, so we went.
He then proceeded to flirt with a girl working there and told me how hot she was.”
“Then we went to see a movie to kill time at a tiny cinema.
After that, he told me, ‘Im sorry, Ive got to go.
I have to mow my lawn tomorrow.’
I couldnt even be bothered staying and drove an hour to my friends house overnight.
He was a huge jerk, and I regret making the effort.”
