“Hey Bambi”: 67 Times A First Date Was Completely Ruined When An Ick Reared Its Ugly Head

Mine was he kept on picking his nose while eating in front of me in a restaurant… idk if it’s just me but i found it so gross so i dropped him after that.

Worst ick on the first date was a guy telling me he likes to shave his private area and doesn’t wear underwear. Completely unprompted. We weren’t talking about anything related.

She smelled just like a pickled egg.

Unzipped his pants in the middle of a normal car conversation and it smelled like straight pee.

We went to a large corn maze. I paid for my date’s ticket to enter and the whole time she was ignoring my ideas on how to find all the landmarks for our punchcards. So ick from not being on the same page for a team building activity.

Then we went to Chili’s. I start choking on water, she doesn’t ask if I’m okay. I excuse myself to the bathroom, and when I get back she’s on her phone and doesn’t bother to look up at me for a while. Then she looks up, smiles , and turns her phone to me saying, “This is the new guy I’m talking to.”

She didn’t even wait for our date to be over. I dodged a bullet at least.

It was a blind date, he walked into the restaurant followed by his much older brother and said "This is my brother, he's just here to make sure the date goes okay" and proceeded to stare at us from across the restaurant the ENTIRE time. There was no second date.

Met up with a “victorias secret model” she was about 40lbs heavier than all her pics and said “well I don’t model for Victoria’s Secret but I’ve done modeling in their lingerie before.” When I asked.

I dated a guy who farted constantly and blamed it on being a vegetarian. Our second, and final, date was at a movie theater and I was so embarrassed by his loudly audible farting through the whole movie. He must have been on his best behavior for the first date.

Talked while he ate. I could see spits flying on my food and it even hit me in the face once. He was taken back by me flinching. He didn't even know sprayed my face.

He told me he did a workers comp scam to retire early.

Kept ordering me drinks even though I said I was done drinking, eventually I told the waiter I didn’t want drinks anymore. Then he ordered more drinks himself then took one sip and goes omg I forgot I’m driving, now you have to drink this so the money doesn’t go to waste since I’m paying. I told him no. He was actually drunk and he picked me up and I was scared. I was young and naive. I asked to walk to a close by public area so he could sober up and he used that time to show me his tinder profile. This was a blind date a “friend” set me on.

Went to dinner with a girl who had some mild tomboyish vibes, which tbh I was kinda looking for, anyway.


We were sitting at the bar, so really kinda in the middle of the place, and she burped really loudly.


Thing was, it was clear that it was kind of one of those "see? I'm one of the guys!" Kinda things, where she was being intentionally loud about it. 


Which like, okay, whatever. But she KEPT doing it. 


Every couple minutes. It had passed the point of being a little obnoxious to the point where it was getting embarrassing.


Everyone in the bar was looking over every time she did it. 


Eventually the bartender even made a slight joke about it, which anyone with social aptitude could read as the bartender trying to politely say something, to hopefully get her to stop. 


But it did the opposite. She seemed to read it as though the bartender found it interesting or impressive, so she started REALLY leaning into it. 


I was icked out from the beginning, but by the end, I just wanted to leave. Problem was, she kept ordering another round before I ever had any polite opportunity to call it a night.


I FINALLY finished a round before her - before she had a chance to ask for another - and asked the bartender to split the tab.

Met this girl off hinge to go for kbbq.

Once we got there and we were looking at the menu chatting and we got to talking about what we do and she mentions she's a league of legends streamer. After acknowledging that it was a pretty cool job (given my dorky background) she then proceeds to pull out a miniature setup and begins live-streaming our date, telling me to say hi to the chat. This is also not before she quickly inserts a comment about how she only goes on these dates for the free food.

I was so taken back from the series of red flags and reading the raging male viewer comments about who the hell I was that I still ordered food and waited for the items to come. Flash forward to finishing eating, I did the el classico of going to the bathroom and leaving her with the bill.

Found out years later in the midst of COVID from a friend that she was in fact a decently popular streamer who was recently cancelled due to cheating on her boyfriend with one of her moderators.

Still one of the worse first dates I ever been on but hilarious in retrospect.

The biggest ick is realizing they’re performing the entire date instead of just being themselves.

The guy said that he was going to “dress up” for me and showed up in a camo long sleeve.

Pulled my hair so hard while kissing my neck popped.

Chick asked if she could borrow my laptop for a zoom meeting in the am. No worries.

It was a court date, she had a DUI.

We drank the entire night prior.

Met a girl on Match, over 20 yrs ago, and we went to a bar/restaurant. Date was actually really good. Easy flowing convo, lots of laughs, and she looked better than her pics. After I paid the bill, she asked me if I could drop her off at a friend's house. Sure, seems harmless. I dropped her off at one of the most seedy tattoo shops and she wanted me to go in and get matching tattoos bc the date went so well. I tried the not really my thing statement and she wouldnt back down. So I said im not willing to commit to anything that long term. She looked so surprised but got out of the car and I just took off. Never answered her calls after that.

He wanted to bring a cooler (the small fabric hand held ones) into the movies (didn’t know until I arrived). We met there, he asked me to walk to his car where he was putting ice in the cooler. He threw the plastic ice bag directly onto the floor in the parking lot. He then proceeded to walk in front of me leaving the cooler on the hood of his car FOR ME TO CARRY.

This girl had intense BO. Like, she smelled like she hadn’t showered in days.
