I don’t believe in love at first sight. Sure, you can be infatuated with someone immediately, and you might be instantly drawn to their energy. But it takes time to build a relationship and truly fall head over heels.
Disgust, on the other hand, can be crystal clear from the first meeting. Redditors have recently been sharing stories of terrible dates where they instantly knew that the other person wasn’t “the one.” From hearing offensive comments to witnessing extremely dangerous behavior, these tales will take you on a wild ride, pandas. So enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the stories that remind you to stay off of dating apps!

She showed up wearing a (dirty) white crop top and started playing with her exposed belly button in the middle of our dinner date and then proceeded to say out loud with people surrounding us “Ew What the hell is that in my bellybutton?!”.

He asked me to go to a movie, then pulled up in crocs and pjs. Said we were gonna go to his house instead of the movie theatre. Then proceeded to tell me he doesn’t actually have his drivers licence.

When he said he traveled to Africa often for work. I lived in Africa for a bit and initially loved this…it was something we had in common. Until he said he doesn’t think people in rural villages in Africa should have access to clean water or electricity because “someone has to pay for it”. After back and forth for a bit I got up and left.

He owned several car lots and he sold my car for me. He asked me to dinner. Everything was great. He asked if I wanted to see the house he’d just bought on his credit card. 👀
It was still early out and the house was only a few blocks away. The real estate agent was there and he wanted to sign some papers so I agreed. It was a modest little brick house, super cute and he had indeed bought it. He used his credit card for the down payment and he was signing some documents for the finalizing of the sale etc. I was pretty impressed I admit. Then he dragged his finger along a dusty ledge and said “needs a woman’s touch” and I noped right the heck out of there. Big bucks or not, I am nobody’s servant. Never saw him again.

Buddy of mine wanted to get in the game but is super cheap, so he was using Plenty of Fish (mistake #1)
Connects with a chick who seemed down to clown, so he (mistake #2) invited her to his house. She immediately is upset that he doesn't have Tito's vodka and that's the ONLY thing she drinks. So she insists they go to the liquor store and get some.
Now my buddy is 50/50 that he's going to get robbed, but the other 50% is a good chance of getting laid. So he compromises by telling her to drive and leaves his wallet behind.
They get into her car, and there's no seat in the passenger side she says she has a huge dog so she took the seat out, and just sit in the back. And they head off to the liquor store
During the drive, he comes to the understanding that this woman is drunk. He's still holding out for the sex possibility though they get to the liquor store, and it's to late, closed. The chick says "I know a store there open late", but the liquor stores are all state stores, they all have the same hours. She insists she knows a place, and he's captive in the back seat.
She gets on the interstate, and a while goes by in silence, and he eventually asked "where are we going?" And she screams in terror... She'd forgotten he was in the back seat. She tells him they're going to the liquor store in a city 30 minute away.
Now he's almost given up on the failing hope of getting some strange, and just wants to live. Asks if they can just go home, and she screams again... Forgot he was in the car again
So he tried to keep a full conversation going to keep her awake and aware of him, and they eventually get to the destination magic open liquor store. It was closed.
She insists it's open and goes to the door and starts pounding on it.
Now comes the peanut gallery. Some Mexican guys are sitting in a truck drinking beers, and yell at her "that's closed. You want a beer?" And she starts yelling racial slurs at them... And not even the right ones for Mexicans. Now three Mexicans and a drunk/high/bi polar chick are trading profanities
And my buddy finally reached "sex chance = 0%" point, and just walked away. Turned around the corner and sat down at a bus stop and called me.
It's like 1:00am on a work night, and I see the call and like "this can't be good"
So I drive to get him, he tells me this whole long story that I honestly can't remember half of... It was much worse. Then we drank at his place until dawn and called in sick to work.

When he asked me if I thought he smelled nice. I politely said yes, and he reached into his leather jacket and brought out a little sample atomiser of Ferrari cologne. He proudly presented it to me, saying I could keep it as a memento of our date and him.
In the right way, it could be rather kitschy and cute, but this guy was fully into himself all night, and this was the cherry on top.
He was shocked when I didn’t want to go home with him that night hahahaha.

Gave her my phone to put music on in the car & saw in the reflection of the passenger window she was going through my texts.

On our first date, when he showed up with a framed photo of himself and his dog for my apartment.
