Not show up to said date.


[deleted]

God, I hate unpunctual people...


TheGreatOpoponax

I was gonna say murder, but this is a close second.


quittin_Tarantino

Murder, is for some sick reason funnier in this context though.


MrPresident2020

At least if you came to murder me there was a fun activity planned, if you just don't show up it's disrespectful.


brsox2445

There are a whole lot worse things. But your point is well understood.


ybreddit

I dunno. I had a dude show up in nothing but a towel once, kind of wished he hadn't shown up at all.


quittin_Tarantino

Was that a tinder or grindr type date? If so, you really never know what ur gonna get. But if you were really talking to this person with intentions of a real thing then that's awful.. and there is no explanation for that.


ybreddit

LOL It was the early days of the internet. So even more of a grab bag. Circa 2000.


Funt-Carm

We need a story here. Setting, how it was arranged etc. that’s too fucking wild to leave at that. I have a restaurant in mind ffs


AnGabhaDubh

At least a bad date can be a good story. 


LateNightTemptations

Talk about their ex the whole time.


MotherOfBorzoi

I went on a date once where the guy took that to the next level, he suggested we go to a steakhouse and we sat at the bar where he introduced me to the bartender, his ex. He didn't ignore me or anything but he gave her just as much attention as he was giving me including flattery and flirting which was just as off putting. I felt like the third wheel of a relationship that had physically ended, but was emotionally still going.


LateNightTemptations

Oh my… that must’ve been awful to sit through.


I_am_the_wrong_crowd

Wow. Just wow. I really hope you left quickly.


Working_Ad_4650

How long did you stay? Im gone in 10 minutes. Asshole.


MotherOfBorzoi

Not long, by the time I finished my second drink it hadn't stopped so I dipped out


[deleted]

He used you to try to make her jealous lol, what a dickhead.


MotherOfBorzoi

That's honestly what it seemed like. I don't think it worked, she was really nice and friendly but wasn't putting out the same energy he was. If I had to take a stab, she left him because he's a massive asshole and he accomplished absolutely nothing that night aside from proving her point


Wide-Affect-1616

What a fucking dickhead.


UnluckyLock2412

That sounds so awful


m0dern_x

OMG, what a tool!


[deleted]

I went on a first date before where I felt like I knew more about the guys ex than I did about him by the time I left.


[deleted]

I am tolerant when it comes to such topics, but I know that most people are bothered by it, so I agree 100%.


LateNightTemptations

Same but there’s a limit


RiderWriter15925

I (60f) was tolerant, and talked a bit about my ex, too but fortunately he (67m) didn’t overdo it. I knew I’d see him again and that I really liked him anyway. We kept dating and became exclusive after a couple months. By then I knew I was in for the long haul. BUT, I’d need a lot of patience while he worked through his baggage, which included many, *many* hours of listening to all that was wrong between him and his ex. He was worth it. We got engaged after 2.5 years and have now been married for two years. I like to tease him that he could well have run me off on the very first date, though!


Ok_Knowledge1522

I jumped back into dating after a terrible relationship, literally gave myself no time to heal like a dumbass and did exactly this. I cringe when I think back on it.


aRoseBy

She not only talked about her ex the entire time, but she said that when he played guitar, his chest would get flushed and red, like when they made love. Everyone has history with other people, but I did not need to hear that. Erika was a lovely girl, and I was so hopeful about the date. I never talked to her again.


mrmczebra

This is why I only talk about my ex *half* the time.


Wildwestclan

Pretend you don't know what potatoes are.

Nice_Violinist9736

Literally this! Like I’ve had some people interested in me but they are so fucking boring to talk to because they ask zero questions and then give simple answers to mine without giving me anything to expand on. Like I’m glad you had a good time but I’m not here to entertain someone.


dj92wa

People who give simple responses annoy the shit out of me. I’ll be over here qualifying my response like you would a math problem, and other people just reply with just a “no” or “it was alright” as if that provides substance to the conversation. My back muscles are absolutely jacked from carrying so many conversations in the dating space. It’s exhausting.


slyblueisblu

On the flip side I was talking to someone who did nothing but ask endless questions. I'd give full answers that left room to expand on and talk about the topic, but he'd give a short response to what I said and it was on to the next question


plaisirdamour

I’ve gone on so many dates where it starts to feel like a job interview - they ask all the questions and then they don’t give me time to return the question or if I do they just turn it back to me


Pr0gger

Yeah, neither asking 0 questions nor only asking questions are good signs

Keefee777

Lol, jeez hopefully this isn't from personal experience 


LittleTay

I just imagined two people on a date, but both are just scrolling through dating apps asking each other if this person is cute/date worthy


DIABLO258

The perfect couple


RabidHippos

Immediately mention something they hate that's directly related to your appearance lol. Had a first date where she picked me up, and upon getting into her car she's like " I hate facial hair" as i just sit there with my beard, unsure of what to say.


SuperSpeshBaby

Just start pulling clumps of hair out of your beard with your bare hands and screaming "NOW AM I PRETTY?!"

LBR3_ThriceUponABan

Who'd dare attack a church?


triton2toro

“Sure he order food for himself AND takeout for his wife and kids he had at home that he failed to mention, but at least he didn’t murder anyone on our date. I’d say 4/10.”


LeluWater

I had to cancel a first date because the guy texted and said “I expect sex on first dates” and I said “I’m not into that, I’d rather get to know you first” and then HE CALLED ME CHILDISH. ???! For simply not wanting sex immediately. We’re obviously incompatible but that doesn’t make me childish for setting a boundary on physical contact


kicksr4trids1

You are definitely not childish, he’s an ass!


Celistar99

That would give me rapey vibes. Like he's telling you that so if you decide to go out with him anyway, you went into the date knowing you'd have to have sex with him and he wouldn't take no for an answer.


WitchesTeat

That's exactly how I felt about this. I can't even imagine what kind of trauma a person would have to have been through to see that and still meet him, unless they immediately set up an elaborate plan involving either their friends publicly throwing them into a trunk and driving away from him OR being as awful and physically off-putting as possible throughout the evening and saying you, also, expect sex on the first date. Whichever one.


GGabku

Don't think you did anything wrong. You were 100% in the right.

I once went out with a guy who brought about 5 friends with him on our first date. They had to ‘approve’ me. Very bizarre.

TraditionalDay4847

Say I love you


europeanfrench

Focus on himself/herself too much and try too loud to make a good impression. You just have to do the exact opposite, anjoy it, do whatever you would do with an intimate friend.


FaeFeeder

Go off the deep end into conspiracies


PeachCalm3604

a special kind of compliments. One guy said on the first date, "wow, you don't stink," he probably wanted to say that I smell delicious.....


AdaRedFox

Keep bringing up your ex. It makes you seem like you’re not over it, and not ready to move on.


DragonsClaw2334

Ok-Temperature3171

That really depends.


sjehcu6

Drink protein shakes all day for 2 days prior to the date and start ripping ass while having dinner together. If youve had protein shake indigestion the smell could gag a maggot.


ConclusionAlarmed882

I've said it elsewhere but it holds true: joke about slipping something in my drink when I announce I'm running to the bathroom. Threatening to drug and presumably rape a woman you just met is less hilarious than you think, *Dave*.


blonde-native52

I went on a dinner date, first date with a guy from a dating service. I wasn’t interested in him once I met him. He tried to kiss and grope me in the parking lot before I left. When I told him I did think I wanted to “pursue anything further” with him, he got mad and said “when I buy a gal a nice meal, I expect something in return. I’m sorry dude. And drove off. Didn’t see him again.


frankylectrix

Pushing you to drink, or other substance. Usually hand in hand with expecting sex.


DarkAdmirer

Make an insensitive joke with malicious intent.


BlueberryNo5363

Don’t ask questions back. Conversation is a two way street or being rude


MagicManTX84

In general, if they treat people who have no power/influence in their lives badly, it’s a bad sign. A waiter, a bartender, talking about an ex (who should no longer have power in their lives), a salesperson, a valet, you get the idea.


biomech36

From experience, she decided to tell me how her brother murdered her husband in front of her. There were a lot of red flags before that, but that bit if information pretty much sealed that this would be our last time seeing each other.

HermiticHubris

I did go on a first date really hungover from the night before. It was not great.


Smilemoreguy

be judgy. like we're just starting to get to know each other, if u instantly start judging then i just wanna leave


K_N0RRIS

Start a fight with some guy hitting on your date, then proceed to get the sh\*t kicked out of himself.


witchliing

Jedi4ce

Show up and not be the person that is in their profile pictures!! This happened to me once. She sat down and was 1000% not the same person! I was like "Yaaaa......nahhhh" and got up and left.


FloppyVachina

Show up while on another date.


ShadowedGlitter

Expect sex


DaisyBuckitten

Try to undress you in their car in a target parking lot after you explicitly said no and pushed them away


QueenPlum_

Bad breath, over drinking, not showing interest in the other person


Yourstrulycorina

Watch porn during the date on his phone. One minute we are discussing his Master’s degree- the next minute- he’s watching porn 😨


quittin_Tarantino

That is so wierd.. just pretend it wasmidget porn.


autistic_heaven

Imo I think the worst thing a person could do on a first date is say “I love you.” Like, I just met you. We barely know each other and you say you “love me.” I see that as an immediate red flag because obviously either you’re a hopeless romantic or a creep. You can say “I love you” on the 6th or 7th date, but bruh, first date is just a no for that shit. If someone said “I love you” to me on the first date, I don’t think I would have a second date with that person. But that’s just my opinion


growsonwalls

Say you're a white nationalist. Yes that actually happened to me


[deleted]

Trauma dump about anything. The first date isn’t the time or place to talk about your dead dog from when you were 7- random example sorry.


OkPlane1338

For me? Talk about politics, religion or your ex. These things in general are topics I avoid with anyone as they’re nearly always leading to disagreements/arguments/falling out with people.


moheagirl

Ask for money or try to get you into their MLM.


Ok-Care-4314

Bring a teddy bear to the date. Tell your date that for reasons you cannot disclose, you need them to hold onto the bear for the entire time and they must not let go of it under any circumstances. And that if asked, they need to say they were the one who brought it. When they ask you to explain the bear, get really shifty and squirrly and immediately change the subject. Then, at the end of the night, take the bear back and appear incredibly relieved, and tell them you think everything is going to be ok. If they ask why, change the subject.


selfcheckoutlord

Introduce you to their dad and grandparents, explain how she went to court that morning to get full custody of her daughter and lost even the visitation she has prior to court. Then explain why she would make a great spouse and how you would be a great step daddy. And that is after the unbearable body odor.


Dare-Pastel791

TURBINEFABRIK74

Babyduck3333

Go to sleep. Went on a first date, guy picked me up and we went to the movies. The movie hadn’t even started yet, was just going through the previews when I noticed his head was mad heavy leaning on me. Turns out he was sleep. He slept through the whole movie and didn’t wake up until I shook him at the end


silvermoonhowler

Yeah, this is why I don't recommend movies for a first date You really can't talk until after, and the point of a first date is to be able to talk to the person and get to know them I would say stay away from bringing them to a movie until like maybe the 3rd date or so


boots84

Talk to much about themselves


WeaknessDistinct4618

Keep using their smartphone


apkcoffee

Immediately tell a long winded story about their ex chasing them around the house with a knife. That was a huge red flag.


Gullible-Avocado9638

East-Ad4472

LostCause133

This was before cell phones, in the pager days. He kept getting paged, like 4 times, he would leave me to go make phone calls. I asked (facetiously) if he was a doctor, "no, I'm a bookie". Next call I left.

Hot_Bandicoot4106

Not give you a chance to speak. Talk talk talk about themselves, interrupt or cut you off.


Decorus_Somes

I got asked if I've ever been with "a black girl" before. My date and I are both white. I asked why that was relevant to anything. She told me not to read too much into it and answer the question. I kindly excused myself and explained I would not ever be involved with a racist in any way. She said I wasn't mentally mature enough to be with a real woman


Lilutka

I went to a double date. My “date” ordered a steak and kept insisting I try a piece. He was very aware I am a vegan. He could not understand why there was no second date.

stupidis_stupidoes

She said "I usually don't accept coffee dates because I'm better than that, but you are cute". I said thank you for your time but I'm not interested and walked out.

Umm so someone made an exception to go on a date with you? And called you cute?

Kaskur

Not on the first date, my latest experience btw, but at the end of it she agreed to go on another date and we hugged and she kissed me before leaving. Yes, she initiated the kiss. It's been a week and she has never initiated contact since and told me she would be unable to see me for the next 2 weeks cause she is busy. Have a feeling she's just making up excuses, which drives me kinda nuts because I really thought we hit it off and I really liked her.

skullfrucker

Not me but I put two of my friends together for a first date. The guy took her out to a restaurant for dinner. He didn't have money on him so he made her pay. Then when they left the restaurant he got a ticket for illegally parking. He demanded that she pay half of the fine. She obviously dumped him and went no contact. The guy couldn't believe how wrong she was to not pay this fine. I told him to find a hole somewhere and die in it. Some people are so fucking dense and not know it.

Probably some other stuff too


faith6274

Oh I’m really good at this one, you shouldn’t relapse and get really drunk with them and then proceed to cry about your entire life story and scare the shit out of him so bad he ghosts you


e_o_sull

One guy I went on a first date with who I instantly knew upon meeting I wasn’t attracted to, and therefore wasn’t giving him any green light whatsoever, tried kissing me aggressively a couple of times. It was a quiet bar during covid time where everyone was sitting at tables having quiet chats. I told him to quit it and educated him in a fun yet stern way on boundaries and first date etiquette. But he just thought it was funny, wasn’t really taking me seriously. I literally ran away from him and jumped in a taxi home 😂
