My Three Worst First Dates — Ever
Which ironically double as my best dating stories.
I used to be that overly optimistic person about dating. I would proclaim, “I love first dates”. This was because, for most of my dating experience, I had really good luck with them. New restaurants would be explored, drinks would be had, and question games would be played. If you are not scared of a few awkward moments, what is there not to like?
I must have hit an invisible off switch because at some point my first dates started getting strange. I slowly but surely found myself hoping they would end sooner, so I could get home and my roommates about my awful night. I even swore off dating forever after a date with a guy so drunk, he threw up at the table — more details on that to come.
I do think it is important to note that I met all these guys online. So I went into these first dates pretty blind beyond a profile, a few pictures, and a day or so of service level conversations.
In hindsight, there are a few things I would have done differently but that is not what this story is about. Here are the three worst first dates I ever had, and no, I am not making these up.
