74 First-Date Behaviors So Bizarre Women Didn’t Know How To React

This guy took me to a restaurant and ate all of my garlic knots in front of me and then started saying all this stuff about how horrible women were and they need to learn to respect men and how he hated his sister for dating a black guy. Then when we got back in his car he started unbuckling his pants and said “hey wanna give me a blow job?” I said that I would just walk and thanks but no thanks!

He texted me after trying to set up our second date. Blocked.

He asked if I was 100% female. I passed his test but took him to task on how he would treat a trans girl on a date and he said he’d leave immediately. I told him that seemed rude. He left immediately.

He did all of the talking…. I learned about his service as a County Commissioner and then he transitioned to his mother’s battle with cancer and every step he took for her care, including changing her diapers and wiping her bum…. And her painful death. We’d JUST MET. THIS WAS A FIRST DATE. And he NEVER asked me a question about myself.

This is one I've blocked from my memory because it's SO cringey. To preface, this was early high school and it's a guy I had done theatre with so we were friends beforehand.

It was the 4th of July and I went to a restaurant with him and his family. After dinner, there were fireworks set off in view of the balcony where our table was, so we all sat with blankets and watched. His mom was sitting on one side of me and he was on the other side of me. He and I shared a blanket and he kept trying to SHOVE HIS HANDS UP MY SHIRT AND DOWN MY PANTS under the blanket. As if his mom wasn't sitting directly next to me and it wasn't obvious what he was doing despite the blanket. He did not understand the word 'no'. I want to die every time I remember that this happened to me. I broke up with him very shortly after, and it turns out he has s*xually a***ulted numerous girls since then.

We met for ice cream. He said he was good, but I could get myself something
Then spent the entire time talking about all the fckng btchs at his job.
He was so engaging in text. It was a wild transition to see in person.

I’m gluten & dairy free. This dude insisted on ordering for me because “he knew what was best on the menu.” He never asked me what I liked or anything about me, really. After the server wrote down the order I interjected and asked for something that accommodated my needs. He was extremely put out and said “I could have saved him the embarrassment” and told him before the server came. I said I didn’t have an opportunity to get a word in edgewise and he hadn’t asked me a single thing about myself.

This adult man with a house and a job looked me in the eyes and said, "You definitely have curves, which I like. Well, boob curves." He then tried to lure me over state lines to his secluded home to get in his hot tub. SIR. Even if I liked you, I watch too much Dateline and Forensic Files for that bull.

I dated a guy who told me on the first date over tacos and a slightly elevated Taco Bell- that he’d been on To Catch A Predator. Yes, girls. I dated a celebrity.

One I didn't agree to. A friend asked if I wanted to hang out and make pancakes (not in his room - we were in a dorm so it was a communal kitchen downstairs, people hanging out, watching tv etc) and I like pancakes so said sure. He keeps trying to get me to dance with him while we're making pancakes and trying to pull me closer and I keep trying to pull away. Also at some point I had to run up and get something and he kept doing pull-ups for no reason. At some point he says "so this is our first date, right?"

NO. You didn't ask me on a date. We are not on a date. YOU BRIBED ME WITH PANCAKES AND I FEEL SO BETRAYED.

My very first date after getting divorced in my thirties was a man who met me for ice cream at the mall. He then invited me to lunch at another restaurant. During the lunch he bragged that he got paid $600 an hour as a consultant. I never even asked what he did for a living. When the bill came he insisted I pay my share... Which was $12.00. He then had the nerve to unzip his pants and expose his erect pp to me in the parking lot.

we met, we talked for at least 3 hours. i could form one or two sentences max. he talked. he even told me how his grandma died in a wedding party while she was dancing. then when we were leaving he said he really enjoyed our date, def wanna meet again. dude thought he liked me when he didn't even hear a whole sentence from me.

Told me he was enjoying being unemployed and living on someone’s couch. Asked me to find him a job in his field and before I could answer said nvm, he wants to keep collecting the free money (unemployment). Told me he love reading National Geographic for the “bare boobies”. And his retirement plan was to join a cult because they make all your decisions for you.

The people at the next table alternated between laughing and looking horrified.

I literally ran away from the bar. RAN!

I met a guy at 8 at a restaurant, only to find out he'd been at the restaurant's bar since 6, getting drunk. He asked me the same questions over and over, he took a phone call in the middle of the date and talked to his roommate about how the date was going, and went to the bathroom at one point and was gone for 15 minutes (definitely either passed out or he was puking).

I... don't know why I didn't leave when he was in the bathroom.

He told me he would have s*x with me even if I was dead. Wasn’t into that.

Omg. I've had so many. I don't remember most now. One of them, I recall telling the guy my academic aspirations and my interest in math. And he was like, "Oh I didn't know girls liked math" in a very sly way and continued saying that he hasn't met any woman who did. We were at a comedy show, and I looked at him, like what the eff? ... But, I was young and was still planning on seeing if he can redeem himself.

So we went out to dinner afterwards and I was noting the biased things that would slip out. I think the last straw was towards the end of dinner, he started saying very homophobic things about how as a man he wouldn't watch American Idol or Top Model because that was for gay people or women. I think this was after I stated my interest in reality shows. Anyway, that did it. Because I got my bag and left him sitting on the second floor of the restaurant and went to the first floor to recoup and figure out directions.

Little did I know that just a few moments later, my date would come storming down the stairs. He made a beeline for the exit that I was standing some distance to the side of. He didn't see me, but I saw him. But he yanked open the door, and yelled "DAMN IT" really loud, and slammed it shut.

I'm looking up from Google Maps, just in shock. Like did that really happen. He did text me sometime later blaming his views and his actions on liquor, and that he was so nervous for our date that he drank too much before hand... Sure, Roger.

The last date I went on.... buckle up. Dude was at least 20 years older than his photos. And 100 pounds heavier. Wore pajama pants and crocs. We had a weird date that started at 3 pm. Not lunch, not dinner. I ordered one drink, he had 2 and an appetizer. The whole time leading up to the date, he had been bragging about being rich, having multiple homes, cars. He had no homes or cars and was living in his sisters basement and driving her car. Bill comes, he says "I'll get the bill THIS TIME.

Many years ago in LA I went on a first date with a handsome successful lawyer… it was going well til he told me he was planning on quitting law to go into stand-up comedy and started reciting the vaguely racist towards Asians routine he’d been working on.

First date with a guy. I was 30. He was 35ish. I ask him what we are doing so I can dress accordingly. He says we are having a picnic - he then takes me to a family bbq at his mom's house. First date. His whole family.

He was 45 minutes late, ordered off the kid's menu, and proceeded to call my salad (spinach with cranberries, feta, and seeds) "gross".

Sorry it wasn't chicken fingers.

A guy that was super into himself and rude to the baristas - I was working on my master's at the time and so we he but it was almost like he made it a competition over whose degree was harder - like it all sucks and then he ordered a drink and was like, 'you know how to make that right, i know not many people order it and it's pretty complicated' - I asked him if he'd even been a barista before to be able to talk about the difficulty of the drink or the rarity of it and he was like 'god no' - f**king douchebag.

It was everything you'd seen in some poorly produced 80s HResque video about how to not act on a first date.
