First dates are hard! You want to leave a good first impression, and not come off as a total weirdo. But sometimes you'll do something worth sharing to the internet.

My friend went to Red Lobster with a date who insisted on ordering everything in an Australian accent. He thought it was Outback Steakhouse.

Met online. Went to a nice restaurant. He ordered for me without asking. Which was fine because he ordered steak and I like steak. But the meal came and he proceeded to cut up my steak into very small pieces and then tried feeding it to me.#WorstFirstDate

When I was in 7th grade, I went on a movie date with my then girlfriend. Since we were in middle school, our parents would only let us go to the movies if like 10 friends came along so 10 friends came along.

I was told on a first date that I had six months to either put a ring on her finger or put a baby in her. The car ride to drop her off was so awkward and silent I started whistling.

We were at his place watching a movie. An ad for dog food came on and I started crying because the dog was so cute. He asked “what’s wrong?” I panicked and said “I’m just having a really nice time.” #WorstFirstDate

Blind date. He took me to Olive Garden. Talked about his ex-GF the ENTIRE TIME. Even when I tried to change the subject. #WorstFirstDate

1995 Guy took me to a Hawks basketball game. Nosebleed seats, so he brought binoculars.

He pulled them out each time the hot dance girls were performing, and put them away the rest of the time.#WorstFirstDate

A friend asked me on a double date as a blind date with his date's friend. I went to the bathroom and came back just in time to hear my date say to her friend, 'why do I get the ugly one?' I said good night to all three and headed home, leaving her w/the bill.#WorstFirstDate

Went on a date with a guy I met online. He wore flip flops and while we sat at an outdoor coffee shop, he proceeded to clip his toe nails. I was both astonished and embarrassed! #WorstFirstDate

We had a great night, until he took me to his house, started rubbing my leg, so I moved it. He then preceded to tell me that his parents committed suicide and thats how he had money. 👀 He started to cry—I think it’s because I didn’t sleep with him🏃🏻♀️💨 #worstfirstdate

Before the date, we had been chatting about books we liked and I talked about a great book I just read. We went on the date, I loaned her the book. She ghosted me. #WorstFirstDate

After an evening of dancing with a first date, leaving the dance hall, I had had to take a quick pee break, rushing out to the parking lot, i see a lady, I grabs her and swoops her around, and plant a big wet kiss on the lips, she was another guy's wife. Oops 😅

We went to a local bar and he said he could out drink me. After the third shot he threw up on the bar, me, and the waitress passing by. Some of it got on my face and I ended up with pinkeye. I’m still traumatized. #WorstFirstDate

#WorstFirstDate My date showed up with his bestie and girlfriend, and they talked thru dinner about ppl I don’t know. Walking to the car, he gave me a wedgie because he thought he hadn’t been paying enough attention to me. 😐

#WorstFirstDate the worst first date I ever had was when my date locked his keys in the car and I had a curfew so he had to break his car window out to get me home on time. Didn’t think I’d ever see him again but we wound up married 🤣

My buddy took his date to the bowling alley. On his first attempt, he tossed the ball backwards and landed it on the girl’s toes! #WorstFirstDate
