Well, once I went on a first date to a nice restaurant. The guy I was with was so nervous that he spilled his drink all over the tablecloth as soon as the waiter brought it. Then, when he tried to clean it up, he knocked over the salt shaker and made a huge mess. It was really awkward but also kind of funny in hindsight.
My friend had a first date at a park. They were sitting on a bench having a nice conversation when a huge gust of wind blew by. It blew my friend's hat right into a nearby pond. His date found it hilarious and they ended up spending the rest of the date trying to fish the hat out with a stick.
Well, my worst first date was when the guy talked about himself the whole time. He didn't ask me a single question about myself. It was so boring and made me feel like he was just looking for an audience.
Well, on my first date with this girl, we went to a really nice restaurant. But when the waiter brought the food, I accidentally knocked over my glass of water and it spilled all over the table. We both just stared at it for a second and then burst out laughing. It was so embarrassing but also broke the ice.
Sure. I once had a date where the guy took me to a really fancy restaurant but then spent the whole time on his phone talking about work. It was so awkward as I just sat there twiddling my thumbs.
One common element is miscommunication. For example, like in my story where my date thought it was a home - style date but I thought it was a proper going - out date. Another is when the person's behavior is completely different from what you expected, such as the girl who claimed to love animals but was terrified of a dog. Also, when someone is overly self - absorbed during the date, like the guy on his phone the whole time. These things often make for a funny yet bad date story.
There was a story about a first date at a coffee shop. The guy was trying to be all suave and order for the girl. But he got her order completely wrong and she was allergic to something in the drink he ordered. She had a mild allergic reaction right there and they had to rush to get some medicine. It was a mess and not at all how they expected the date to go.
There was a first date where the two met at a coffee shop, but the coffee was really bad. Instead of just leaving, they decided to go for a walk. During the walk, they saw a street artist painting. They stopped to watch and started talking about art. Turns out they both had a dream to visit all the famous art galleries in the world. This common dream brought them closer and made the bad first date turn into a success.
One common element is bad communication. For example, if someone is constantly on their phone during the date. Another is poor hygiene. If your date smells bad, it's a big no - no. Also, rudeness, like being mean to waitstaff or other people around, often features in bad first date stories.
On my first date with this guy, we went to a park. As we were walking, a duck chased him thinking he had food. He ran around a bench while I laughed uncontrollably. It was so unexpected and broke the ice.
