What's the worst thing that's ever happened or you said on a first date?

Oh geez! I forgot about that memory. That was so bad.

There was a very pretty Chinese girl in met in Tokyo back in my early 20s when I was clubbing a lot. We started dancing together but she barely spoke any Japanese, no English, and mostly only Mandarin. Meanwhile, I only spoke Japanese and English and only the teeniest amount of Mandarin (I originally got to the point of speaking some of it when I lived in Singapore and Hong Kong, but forgot almost all of it).

Yet her friends were there with her in the club who could speak some English and Japanese so they helped translate things we said to each other. Then I asked them to tell her I'd like to see her again and she responded by sharing her phone number with me and we arranged a date together with her friends helping to translate.

So for the date, we were supposed to meet at Shinjuku station and I told her friends to tell her to meet me at the South Gate. I also went to an electronics shop and bought an electronic translator just for the date so that we could communicate with each other and also brought a notepad so that we might be able to draw pictures or find some way to communicate to each other.

Then I arrived promptly for the date but she was nowhere to be seen. I waited and waited and then she called me saying one of the few Japanese words she could speak: "Doko? Doko? [where? where?]". So I had no idea how to explain to her but was trying to constantly say, "Please wait a moment," and frantically typing into the electronic dictionary and looking for the word for South. Then I said that along with the word for gate. But I'm not even sure she could read the Japanese and English signs. This was back before we had smart phones.

Yet we ended up not being able to find each other for ages while barely being able to understand each other. So I looked for landmarks she might be able to recognize and found a McDonald's nearby and shouted, "McDonald's!" Her: "McDonald's?" Me: "Yes, McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's!" Her: "McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's! Hai hai hai! [yes yes yes!]" Like we finally understood each other.

So I stayed by McDonald's and we finally met but that took over half an hour for us to find each other! She only had a relatively short period of time for our date between her lunch break so that was already about the time she had to return back to work. So that ended up being almost the entire date was trying to find each other and failing. We went on a quick little stroll through the park and that was it; she told me she had to return to work after that (we communicated through the electronic dictionary/translator).

After that, she didn't return my phone call to try to see her again. Can't blame her. 😅

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Ugh, that memory makes me cringe so hard remembering it. I hope she found a good guy who can communicate with her by this point. I had this silly hope then that we'd find some way past the communication barrier, like maybe I could relearn Mandarin, or teach her some more Japanese, or both, only to discover we could barely even make it to let alone past the first date. It was my very worst first date ever, by far.

[Elena_Stewart]

Wow, I believe now the language barriers are gone🙂

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

My sister's husband (American guy) showed me some amazing apps on his phone that he uses that would have been so useful back then! Like he can just talk into the phone and have it translate what he said on the fly into any target language. Also he can just use his camera to scan and convert Japanese text into English directly from things like restaurant menus. It's amazing. That would have made a world of difference for me back then.

[Elena_Stewart]

That’s right. You know even more with the chat gpt now you can choose the voice you want to talk with

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I'm a bit embarrassingly behind on a lot of this new tech for a software developer. I tend to use the computer way more than my phone but might need to check out all this latest stuff.

[Elena_Stewart]

That’s fine👍🏻👍🏻😊

[NathanDavis]

I can't recall bad experiences at the moment... not to the point of saying "oh that was the absolute worst"

[Elena_Stewart]

I hope you never have one🙂

[NathanDavis]

me too... lol

[bobalife]

I can only think of two things I’ve done, which was so embarrassing… 🫠 I was drinking boba milk tea and I tilted it where it started leaking on my top… so embarrassing 😭 my date just smiled at me like he adore me and trying not to chuckle while he helped me clean it up

I went to dinner and stargazed after a work day, I was sooo exhausted from work that when we started stargazing.. I was all comfortable and kinda dozing off to sleep while he tried to kissed me.. well.. he did kissed me as my eyes shut lmao. Not prepare for that either haha.

[Elena_Stewart]

Wow😆

[Laciejordan]

It was with the guy I’m with now. We were going on our first date, and after he picked me up, he ended up hitting a deer. It was awful! He’s pissed about his truck being damaged, I’m walking around in a field, in heels, looking for the deer! Never did find him, so there we sat. He ended up driving 4 miles, back to my place, with his hazard lights on. His head lights didn’t work lol…We ordered food and watched a movie at my place and I actually believe fell in love that night.😊

[exitseven]

That is one great story.

[Laciejordan]

@exitseven lol I just hope the deer was okay! It was a pretty big buck. He ran into the field and seemed okay.

[exitseven]

Deer can take a pretty good hit and just shake it off.

[Elena_Stewart]

@Laciejordan wow😳

[Wallythewalrus2]

@Laciejordan I’m sure he eventually ended up in someone’s freezer, with his head on their wall.

[Laciejordan]

@Wallythewalrus2 !! 🤦‍♀️ Don’t say that! 😞

[AviatorTom]

I've told this story before.

After my divorce, I was on a dating site, and met this woman. We chatted a few times and agreed to meet for dinner.

She showed up 30 minutes late for dinner, was grossly obese (totally unlike her profile picture), and the first words out of her mouth were, "My pussy is so wet." I didn't even let her sit down, I just left.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

My period leaked.

He asked me out again, but I was too embarrassed to go on a 2nd date.

[Elena_Stewart]

The worst thing that could happen😆

[exitseven]

When I was in college I was friends with a guy who lived in the city and was a commuter. He and his girlfriend set me up with somebody they knew. We were supposed to meet her at a small restaurant. They picked me up in my dorm and we drove to this place 5 or 6 miles away. When we got there she showed up a few minutes later. She was nice looking and I thought that maybe she was pretty. She was kind of a hippie and I was in Air Force ROTC. She thought I was a baby burning fascist. I thought she was a hippie. We were not getting along at all. My friend and his girlfriend thought it would be funny to leave me there with her. So they sneak out and a few minutes go bu before we figured out what happened. She tells me she was leaving. I asked her if she could drive me back to my dorm. She refused. It would have been a 5 mile walk in the freezing cold. So before she left I jumped on the hood of her car. She tried to shake me off but I had a good grip on the hood and held on as she took a couple of laps in the parking lot. Finally she stopped and told me she would give me a ride. It was a quiet ride back to campus but I thanked her when I got out

[Elena_Stewart]

Lmao….

[exitseven]

@elena_stewart You had to be there.

[Elena_Stewart]

I bet it was hilarious😆

[exitseven]

It wasn't when it was happening but I laugh about it now

[Elena_Stewart]

I am sorry, but it was funny when I read it
Good you laugh about it now🙂

[exitseven]

Elena when I think about some of the stuff that happened to me that was really bad I sort of have to laugh today. Of course it took 30 years to get to that point

[Elena_Stewart]

👍🏻👍🏻

[Bricealan]

Well, I guess I can tell this: On a first-blind date- my date made a smart comment about my cunnilingus skills, and I stuck a piece of gum in her bush (she had a large bush) --- Well, she was super pissed off as you might imagine and called me "You dirty cock sucker" ... needless, to say, our first and last date... although she and I and her sister contemplated a threesome... that never took place...(The sister commented on her sister having a large bush)

Honest to God... truth here... I never forgot that incident and still smile about it

BTY, I did cut the gum out of her bush with a small pair of sewing sissors.

[Elena_Stewart]

Lmao…

[Wallythewalrus2]

We were sitting in a booth at a restaurant, her across from me and she decided to take her sandals off and put her feet next to me on my seat. I looked at her, with what I’m thinking was a confused look on my face and she just gave me a smile. I kept thinking if for some reason I might have led her to believe I had a foot fetish. She wiggled her toes and feet and would occasionally tap my thigh with them! It was weird. Kind of erotic but weird!

[Laciejordan]

Lol…Maybe she was hoping you had a thing for feet, Wally? That’s kinda weird and gross to do on a first date. I wouldn’t do that on our date. 😉

[Wallythewalrus2]

@Laciejordan Where would you take me on our date? Some place nice, I hope.

[Laciejordan]

🤔 Well, I was kinda thinking you would take me some place nice. I guess I’ll pick the place but you pay? 😊

[Elena_Stewart]

@wallitgewalrus2 really weird thing to do, but you felt it was erotic, so just👌🏻

[Elena_Stewart]

@Wallythewalrus2 really weird thing to do, but you felt it was erotic, so just👌🏻
I spelled you name wrong the first time

[RebelinSteel]

Long long list lol.
called her by her sisters name, called her by an ex of mine name, forgot her name. Talked to the wrong girl at the bar that looked similar, forgot to actually book a table, lots more.

things that have happened, a fire, police raid, a large fight broke out, her ex was in same place and got arsey, my ex was in same place and both got huffed,

[Elena_Stewart]

Lmao 🤣🤣

[MemeSupreme]

w-we we dont talk about that... its giving me a PTCD flashback

post traumatic cringe disorder

[Elena_Stewart]

Lmao🤣🤣

[KittygosMeoWW]

…had sex in my truck then the battery died and the guy had to call his insurance to fix it lol. Ended up going to his house and he lived in a hoarders messy house except the room we slept in at night. When I woke up I was in utter shock.

[Elena_Stewart]

Lmao….

[KittygosMeoWW]

Lmao he was so well dressed, put together, and smelled only wore expensive cologne.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Educated and had a successful career. I was shocked.

[laly520]

worst thing is being young n clumsy thus spilling juice all over my outfit, table, his white shoes

[Elena_Stewart]

Lol….

[laly520]

it was a disaster but at least he found it funny

[Elena_Stewart]

I found it funny, don’t worry😊

[TheSpaceGnome]

I dont go on dates.
I just hang out with friends, and if a female friend likes me, she usually just says so, and then I will either politely turn her down, or we would end up as a couple.

[Elena_Stewart]

I think it is better this way🙂

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yeah it gives more time to get to know eachother, forces shared hobbies to be the means of staying in contact (which ensures compatibility), and removes the expectation of earning the person through favors or gifts (such as paying for dates).

Its a much more realistic, effective, and equal way to connect.

[Anonymous]

He kept bragging about his salaries and everytime he brags about it his voice is so loud that I find it cringey and makes me want to vanish from the cafe and regret my decision to go on a date with that guy. He was nice but he was so heavy on the salary bragging. He was not the right guy for me 😬

[Squatting_Slav]

All of my dates have been really funny and chill. I did almost fully land on my ass on a slippery muddy slope while miraculously maintaining my balance

[Elena_Stewart]

This sounds fun😁

[moneymagnet24]

She told me i don't want to have sex before marriage... I was like wtf

[Elena_Stewart]

Ok😁

[Nikki1989]

He couldn't hold a conversation. It was torture.

[Paris13]

[Elena_Stewart]

[Paris13]

[Elena_Stewart]

[Paris13]

[Jennz6]

When I was 14 years old I had to give him a blowjob but it wasn’t a date, I was being abused.

[Alina_980]
