Dating is hard. Whether we meet someone online, in person, or through a friend, there is always a chance for a first date to go horribly, horribly wrong. Of course not every guy or girl is going to be a total winner, and it may take a while to find a person who we click with, but sometimes the things that women endure during a date are so outrageous that they are actually comical — maybe not in the moment, but definitely afterward. That is why when Twitter user @_ItsMissBre tweeted out "Ladies: tell me your worst date," she got PLENTY of insane responses. The viral tweet was posted last month and has since received more than 1,000 responses and almost 3,000 likes.
The women telling their stories seriously make me consider being single for the rest of my life. Not only are they embarrassing (at best), but many of them are very problematic, kind of terrifying, or just plain disgusting. There are plenty of good guys out there, but for the most part the guys in these tweets are not it! From finding out their date is married, to having his mother tag along, to being in a high-speed car chase with his ex-girlfriend, these stories are so crazy that they could each be their own episode in a sitcom about the many DON'TS of dating. Ladies, remember to be safe when going on a first date. Let friends or family know what is going on, and if the situation feels uncomfortable then absolutely leave! Here are 20 terrible, yet hysterical epic first date fails. Not going to lie — they make us lose hope a little bit, but they sure are entertaining!
TRIP TO THE ER
Not only was his friend on the date with them, but that friend also happened to be a Michael Jackson impersonator. AND he injured the girl's date, so instead of sitting at a restaurant, she spent the night sitting in an ER waiting room.
ON A BUDGET
Homeboy was clearly on a budget, but couldn't he at least have made sure she made it home safely?
HIGH-SPEED CHASE
Having someone's ex chase you with a car sounds pretty terrifying. We're guessing this guy didn't get a second date.
FIRST DATE TO FIANCÉ?
Well, that escalated quickly. Maybe next time this guy should give himself a one or two drink limit.
FAKE TEETH
Not saying there is anything wrong with fruit rollups (although cutting them up is a bit strange). But, taking out his teeth before a first kiss is a tad disturbing.
MAMA'S BOY
Hey guys — bringing mom on a first date probably isn't a good idea. And her sitting between them at the movies? Weird.
TOO MUCH TO DRINK
Alcohol clearly doesn't lead to good first dates. I hope she got new window locks and a top-notch security system.
REALLY BAD TIMING
Not sure why this guy thought her talking about her mom in the hospital was the opportune time for a kiss. Awkward…
PUMP IT UP
We honestly feel bad for this guy. He was so excited for his date that he drove off with the gas hose still in his car!
HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC
This is all bad from start to finish. Splitting a check and needing a ride is one thing, but the awkward racist comments are actually disturbing.
CATFISH
FYI, catfishing someone is NEVER a good idea! I would have snuck out the back door too!
THE STARS DIDN'T ALIGN
If this guy thinks that women shouldn't have dreams and careers, then zodiac signs surely won't be his only obstacle while trying to find a girlfriend. Dude, it's 2018.
A SLAP & A PUNCH
Locking someone in the car will absolutely result in a punch in the face. You go girl!
PUKED ON MY SHOES
Hot dog puke doesn't exactly make for a successful first date. Hopefully he didn't get any on his waistcoat!
GIRLS SUPPORTING GIRLS
Well, that guy may have been a pig, but we're glad another woman had her back! Shout out to the coworker in the bathroom.
A MAN & HIS BIKE
Dang, she couldn't even get a ride? This guy was clearly out on a date with his beloved bike, not her.
SLIGHTLY DELUSIONAL
Yes, the guy from Lord of The Rings. Maybe he was there and she just didn't see him. LOL.
CRASHED BY THE COPS
Nothing like a punch in the face and three cop cars to make a lasting impression. As least he had his mom call her to explain!
SADDLE UP
Well, giddy up! We wonder if his version of "Jolene" was any good?
SWEATY
1. Why the winter coat? 2. Why go on a date when he knew he wanted his wife back?
People are strange.
