27 stories of terrible first dates will make you feel better about your dating life
I think we can all agree that dating is an embarrassing tangle of awkward attraction mixed with the overwhelming hope that a few hours could possibly turn into something meaningful, something passionate, something that isn’t a complete bore. Since we are currently living in the age of hookup culture, where casual sexual encounters are encouraged and long-term commitment doesn’t necessarily always play a role, traditional dating is a rarity. Because of this, if a date does occur, a lot of pressure is put on the entire night. Too fancy? Too off-putting? Not fancy enough? The list could go on. The pressure and the anxiety for things to go correctly can sometimes steer the outcome of the night and for these 27 hopefuls, their dates most definitely left them turned off and unwilling to meet again.
