It was a long time ago, but I went on a date with a guy who seemed nice enough at first. After the usual small talk, he was like “Well, we gotta get it out of the way... Are you the man or the woman?”

Physicists and philosophers are the fucking WORST

Matched with a cute guy on a Tinder. He had a shirtless mirror selfie which is usually a hard pass for me, but he seemed sweet/nerdy so I talked to him. He tells me he was heavy growing up and really awkward with women. I’m thinking “This guy doesn’t realize he’s hot.” I’m sick that week and home so we talk a ton and F…

This isn’t mine, but my mom’s—She’s back home from college during break and meets a local university guy at her summer job. He’s handsome, from Germany, and is interested in theater. All is great. He goes to pick my mom up on their first official date. The time (mid 1960's) dictated that the guy would be invited to my…

Late to this party but chiming in anyway: In high school, I was thrilled to be asked to the homecoming dance by one of the star football players. The plan was to meet up after the game, then head to the gym for the dance. When I got to our designated meeting place, I was surprised to see that his entire family—mom,…

Not cool for a prof to play with the power dynamic, regardless of collective ages. I agree with IonizedDare. 

I had just broken up with my bf who my friends couldn’t stand. They browbeat me into going on a double date with friend, her bf and his newish roommate so that I wouldn’t be tempted to get back together with bf. 

He offered to make me dinner. What he made was boxed mac-n-cheese with added broccoli and immense amounts of curry powder.

I probably won’t get out of the greys but here’s one where I’m the horror. I was recovering from MRSA and on sedatives because I was allergic to the antibiotics. I didn’t realize you can’t mix sedatives and alcohol, so when I met my date at a brewery for a Match.com date, I blacked out. Apparently I greeted him with…

I JUST had a guy who I went on a single Tinder date with a week and a half ago look up my work address (I told him what part of the government I work for, nothing else), and use it to send me flowers for my birthday. To a secure facility. Where we are not allowed to accept personal mail. Which I neglected to mention…

I went on a date in 2007 which I was very suspicious of, having tepidly put off this guy’s gentle, unthreatening advances for months (due to 16 year age gap) and then finally receiving a drunk text formally asking me out that was surprisingly sweet. I hemmed for another week, then said what the hell. We went to a…

A server at a restaurant I worked at (in the kitchen) asked me out. Nice enough guy. Went to his place, started watching SE7EN, he started talking about religion, then *turned off the movie* and proceeded to try and give witness. I left.

My friend and I get to the mall to meet two guys for a double date. It would be my first date ever even though I’m sixteen. We get to the movie theater and...

Almost same situation, working late with a female co-worker and needing a coffee break went to a Starbucks and spent a few hours talking. A week later, my apartment complex chartered a bus for a trip to a newly opened casino, I invited that same female co-worker to go with.

I was going through a bad period in my life and went out with a guy who told me that any woman who calls herself a feminist in her OKCupid profile is guaranteed to be ugly and said he wouldn’t go down on a woman unless she was completely waxed bare. He also had a huge scary tattoo of monsters/ghosts on his chest and…

I met a beautiful and hip woman on campus as I was finishing up my outdoor training at the track. We hit it off and I set up a date for Friday night. I picked her up at “her” house. Turns out, it was her parent’s house. Okay, that’s cool - why pay for an apartment or dorm room when your folks live near campus.

Testerical.

Any time a public figure acts even a little emotional or hysterical we should refer to as “pulling a Kavanaugh”.

My dear Hannah, what you are protected by is the magic forcefield of youth. Which is fleeting. Wash your goddamn face before you go to bed.
