Cringe date moments?

[Anonymous]

For fun, what are some of your cringiest date moments?

I went out with a guy recently who was Asian. We were talking about college and he mentioned he did terribly in his math classes. Without thinking, I exclaimed “really?!?!” He just looked at me and replied “we aren’t all good at math”

It’s because he was a scientist. I thought scientists were supposed to be good at math. Yikes.

A few weeks before that, I went out with a guy who told me I was like a sexy honey badger. Wut.

I went out with a guy who literally ordered the same thing I did all night. From drinks to entrees it was like "that sounds good, I think I'll get that too". It was bizarre.

Or there was the guy who said he was 49 who must have been mid-60's. When I went back later to check out his profile pictures closer it was apparent they were some OLD pictures. I guess he thought I wouldn't notice? His car had handicapped tags (nothing against the handicapped, it was just a bit of a shocker).

We went to the bar at a Ritz Carlton and stayed till at least 9 having drinks. He refused to order food or discuss leaving to get food and then made a "joke" that he was going to get a shot to inject me with food because I was grumpy from hunger. Needless to say I ghosted him.

Once I was meeting a man for a first date who, according to his profile, was 40. When I got to the restaurant and mentioned to the hostess I was there for a first date, she said "yes, I'll take you to his table". We got there and he was at least 65!

I was about to bail but then saw my ACTUAL date walk in. Apparently the older man was also there on a first date and the hostess thought I was his date.

So, so many! Been married almost 25 years but one of the funniest was my date “losing” his car in the Kennedy Center underground parking garage. It was our first date/only and he drove a non descript (beige) car. Came out of the show and starting walking, and walking and walking. I was chatting along not really paying attention when about ten minutes later he said he couldn’t remember where he parked his car.

We must have been walking for about a 1/2 hour when the security guard in a van drove up and offered to drive us around every level until he found his car. By this time, people were leaving and more coming in. All I remember is going up and down every level hearing the banter between my date and the driver, “that it? I’ll bet it’s here? No?”

He cut the cheese and ignored it.

This was my cringiest moment by far, but I was the perp. So awful. I was 19. So glad I learned to just laugh at myself instead of hoping nobody would notice!

LOL. He wanted you hungry so you’d be easily inebriated, then upstairs so you are safe and don’t drive home. SMH

Lol. That sounds like a Seinfeld episode "She's an order copier! She copied all my orders!"

Not to make a big deal out of it, but why didn't you just order food yourself? When he said "nah, I don't want any food" you should have said 'okay, I am gonna order some apps"

He wanted scotch eggs, ate them. Then he had the runs and had to leave our date. He was turning red ans the face and sweating more than Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly.

He was like I can’t believe this is happening, damnit yore never going to want to see me again. I laughed and waved as he ran to his car holding his pants.

It wasn’t even that that ended it - it was a racist comment. But that was def cringeworthy lifetime award.

Oh this is fun!

In one weekend, I was waiting for my date to show up and he finally comes in and he legit has a HUGE murse. Like a purse way larger than I would ever carry, except if I was carrying a diaper bag. And then he sat down, and I know I shouldn't judge, but he just had very feminine characteristics. But I was giving him a shot. And then after one, not strong, margarita he starts proclaiming how drunk he is. I tried to just kept getting to know him and asked, "So what's your deal? Tell me about yourself." And he says, "Well, I'm straight!." I looked at him a bit bewildered because I thought it was just a strange response and then he says, "I LOVE PUSSY!" It was so awkward and cringy. Never called him back.

Another guy I went out with a couple times. It was our second date and we were having drinks at my place on the couch. We were listening to music and he was obsessed with trying to pick the music. My iPhone unlocks if I look at it. So he kept trying to steal my phone and put it up against my face. It was infuriating. To try and just move on, we started making out, and he CONTINUOUSLY kept trying to steal my phone while making out and then jump back real quick to point the phone at me to get it to unlock. one time, maybe cute. More times than I can count, I sent the asshole home. It was so weird.

Went out on a boat with someone who proceeded to complain/lament/talk about his ex-girlfriend the entire time. I was literally stuck. Got off the boat, went to a casino (this was Lake Tahoe) and asks to "borrow" money to gamble with.

Emailed me the next day, saying how glad he was to have found someone to connect with so well. ???? I emailed back that he needs to resolve whatever is going on with that ex and good luck...
