I once went out with a guy on a date, and as I wanted to impress him, I confidently ordered sushi despite never having eaten it before. Everything was going great until I spotted a little green paste on my plate. Thinking it was avocado, I scooped the whole thing into my mouth. It was wasabi. As you can imagine, my sinuses exploded, my eyes started to water and I started choking. In my panic, I grabbed my dates drink, which happened to be sake, and chugged it, this made things even worse. My date tried to help but was also dying of laughter. The waiter took one look at me and asked, “Wasabi?” before walking away 😆

I met a date with only their description of themselves to identify him. He was 6’8” tall and described himself as looking like a well known actor from a soap opera at that time. He drove 2 hours to meet me. We met at the train station and i knew it was him b his height but not his looks! He was also about 10 years older than he’d said. I couldn’t stand him up as he’d driven so far so i thought where can i take him where no one will recognise me?! We went to Wetherspoons where i never went. Then he wanted to eat so we went to an Indian restaurant I’d never been to. The waiter showed us to a table. He said “ We’ll see you again Madam, but we won’t see you again Sir” !! This was soooo weird!! 
My ‘date’ spent the rest of the evening trying to persuade me we should be friends with benefits… and offered to drive me home in his van. I declined on all counts and never saw him again 😂

He picked me up on his motorbike.  I had dressed up in a smart skirt.  It was the week before Christmas, and freezing cold. When we arrived at our destination (pub in town) I was so cold I couldn’t move. It took me all afternoon to warm through, and then I had to get on the bike again for the journey home. 

I've been eyeing up an afternoon tea 😁

I was sick all over my speed date because a fly flew into my mouth unexpectedly, tingled my tonsils and I spewed all over her. My love life went out of the window for ages after that.

That time I nearly spilled my wine & in an attempt to recover the glass, scorched my sleeve on the romantically lit candle 🤦🏻‍♀️

I went out to dinner with my date, we had a few drinks first so by the time I got to the restaurant I was desperate for the toilet which was upstairs, my date sat at the bar while I made my way to the toilet. I got in the cubicle and I was wearing a playsuit so in order to go to the toilet I had to get out of the playsuit first. I was trying to undo the zip but it was stuck fast, I tried desperately over and over again, there was nobody else in the toilets so I couldn’t ask anyone either. I was so desperate I thought I was going to have an accident, made even worse by the fact the toilet was right in front of me, I finally got the zip down and the relief was huge! When I went back downstairs to the restaurant my date was nowhere to be seen as they had shown him to the table as I had been missing that long, his face was like thunder he said he’d been waiting ages for me, I felt so bad the whole meal was VERY awkward, I tried to explain but the damage was done!!

It wasn't a first date, but only about the 3rd. The gentleman was coming to pick me up for lunch. Prior to getting ready I was on the sofa, my phone needed charging, the nearest plug was behind the sofa so I lent over and put my arm down the gap between the sofa and wall. All of a sudden my knees slipped on the leather sofa and I was trapped. My right arm was trapped in the gap, my left arm trapped underneath me. I had no leverage to get my arm out.. I was completely stuck and overwhelmed by images of dying undiscovered! I was stuck for nearly an hour. Luckily, when my date arrived I started to shout. He jumped the fence, got in through the kitchen and saved me. I was so bruised and humiliated... But now we laugh! 

Took my date to nandos and bowling and on the way home drivign i got completly lost and ended up having to ring my dad to come fetch us as i didnt know where we where , back in the day befroe sat navs and mobiles lol

It all started with a dating app profile picture. He was holding a kitten! Instant win, right? So, I, a self-proclaimed cat lady, swiped right faster than you can say “meow.” We matched, chatted, and decided to meet for coffee.
He suggested a place downtown. I arrived, scanned the tables, and spotted him. He looked…different. The kitten-holder had transformed into a guy who looked like he hadn’t slept in days and was wearing a shirt that had definitely seen better ones. Okay, no big deal, maybe he just had a rough week.
We ordered our coffees, and the conversation started off okay. We talked about work, hobbies, the usual first-date stuff. Then, he leaned in conspiratorially and said, “So, I have to tell you something about that picture…”
My heart did a little flutter. Was he going to tell me he rescued the kitten? That he volunteers at a shelter? Nope. “That’s not my cat,” he whispered. “It was a prop. My friend’s cat. I’m allergic.”
I blinked. “You’re…allergic?”
He nodded miserably. “Yeah. But I figured girls like cats, so…”
Just then, his nose started twitching. He pulled out a tissue and sneezed. Not a cute sneeze. A full-body, honking, eyes-watering sneeze. And then another. And another. He was a sneeze machine!
I, trying to be polite, patted him awkwardly on the back as he descended into a sneezing fit of epic proportions. Finally, between sneezes, he croaked, “I…think…I…need…antihistamines…”
I, suppressing laughter, managed to say, “I think you do. Maybe…we should cut this short?”
He nodded, eyes streaming, and practically ran out of the cafe, leaving me with the bill and the image of a sneezing, cat-allergic man burned into my memory.
I paid, walked home, and updated my profile to say, “Must own cat AND be able to breathe around them.”
The end (and a very funny, if slightly disastrous, beginning).
