bad dates

If you're looking for a reminder that there are a whole lot of weirdos in this world, look no further. Twitter user @NateIsBack2 has managed to round up some seriously insane stories after asking his followers to share the most awkward dates they've ever been on. While some of these recollections definitely fall into that category, other are straight up bone chilling and creepy. Especially the unexpected response from actress Patricia Arquette. On the bright side, the horror stories are a great reminder that you should really vet your date before committing to a night out or a relationship. 

Red flags are one thing. But to make someone straight up walk out of a date is another. Sh*t's gotta be serious. Redditor u/PorridgeBeforeBed took to the r/AskMen subreddit to ask members to share their ejection-worthy date stories. We'll give you some spoilers: a lot of people are addicted to their phones, a lot of people are looking for free meals, and others don't seem to understand that a date is between two people. The stories are disappointing, but not seriously surprising. So strap in, get your reading glasses, and learn what not to do on a romantic evening.

If life is an absolute pain, why, oh WHY, do we subject ourselves to the utter torture that is dating? Trying new people like clothes to see if there's a love connection can be the most demoralizing experience in the world. The idea of love is definitely enticing, but is it worth the endless swiping, blind dates, and bad sex? These memes definitely keep us wondering. 

These women went on the most disastrous dates ever and lived to tell the tale!
