I had an online first date where we decided to do a virtual cooking date. We both chose a recipe to make and then started cooking while on a video call. It was chaotic at first. I accidentally added too much salt to my dish and she had some trouble with her oven. But we were laughing the whole time. We ended up sharing pictures of our final products and made plans to cook together in person next time.
Well, once I went on an online first date and the guy showed up two hours late without even a proper apology. He just mumbled something about traffic. Then, during the date, he talked only about himself, his job, his car, and his ex - girlfriends. It was a nightmare.
I've heard of a date where the two met at a coffee shop. The person on the first date was constantly on their phone, texting someone else the whole time. It was as if they weren't even interested in getting to know the other person. There was also a situation where the online date's hygiene was really bad. They smelled awful and had dirty fingernails. It made the whole date really uncomfortable. Another horror story is when the date just abruptly left in the middle of the conversation without any explanation.
Many online first date horror stories revolve around false expectations. If someone has built themselves up to be this super confident and successful person online, but in reality they are shy and insecure. It creates an awkward situation. Also, there are those who keep checking their phone constantly during the date, as if they are waiting for a better offer. And some dates turn bad when there's a political or religious argument out of nowhere.
Well, I had a great first date from online dating. I connected with a guy who seemed really interesting online. On the date, we went for a walk in the park. The conversation just flowed so smoothly. He told me some really funny stories about his travels, and I shared my experiences at work. We found that we had a lot in common, like our love for reading. After that first date, we kept in touch and now we're in a happy relationship.
Well, I had a rather funny first date from online dating. We decided to go to an amusement park. I was a bit worried it would be awkward, but as soon as we got on the first roller coaster, all the nervousness disappeared. We were screaming and laughing together. After that, we shared a big cotton candy and talked about our families. It was a really enjoyable and unexpected date.
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.
A guy and a girl met online. Their first date was at a local fair. They had a great time trying different foods, going on rides. They found they had the same sense of humor when they were joking about the crazy rides. And they are now in a relationship.
One time, my friend was on a first date at a really nice restaurant. They had eaten some beans earlier without realizing. Mid - conversation, a small but audible fart slipped out. They were mortified, but their date just laughed it off and said it was no big deal. It was so embarrassing for my friend at first, but in the end, it actually made the date more relaxed.
In case it smells really bad, you could excuse yourself and go to the bathroom. Spray some perfume or something when you come back. Then, when you return, change the topic to something more interesting to distract from the incident.
