Anyone who has ever dipped their toe into the dating pool has gone on a bad first date. It’s like a rite of passage.

But the real (and more interesting) question is, when was your “a-ha moment?” You know, the instance you realized things were headed south fast, and you had to devise an escape plan ASAP.

Well, one Redditor recently decided to pose this question to the online community, asking daters to share their very own “I’m out of here” moments. And some of the responses are both hilarious and horrifying at the same time.

His Date Pooped In Public

“Legitimately when she said she needed to take a wee as we walked down a back alley to the next bar. She pulled down her jeans, took a poop behind a trash can, then searched in the trash can and wiped with a sheet of newspaper.”

“I was totally infatuated with her after working with her for a few months, and in 30 seconds, it disappeared fast. I just don’t get why she didn’t want until the next bar?”

Her Date Expected Her To Be Okay With Getting “Passed Around” 

“This guy and I were eating dinner after chatting for a couple of weeks, and unprompted and completely unrelated to what was being discussed– in the middle of something I was saying– he said something along the lines of, ‘So, you know, in order for this to work you’re gonna have to share yourself, right? My friends and I like to pass girls around.'”

“I was pretty dumbfounded, and after a bit of stuttering, I told him I didn’t think it was going to work, asked for a to-go box and my portion of the check, and noped the heck out of there.”

His Date Revealed They Were A Cheater And A Thief

“I went on an OKCupid date. The girl got really drunk super fast, went to the bathroom, came back, and her accent had changed. Odd, but okay, whatever.”

“She drunkenly proceeded to tell me, ‘You know, you’re a really nice guy. Do you know who you’d really get on with? Myyyyy boyfriend!'”

“I wanted to peace out right there and then, but I’d just bought myself a fresh beer. So, to keep the conversation going a bit longer, I told her I liked her dress. She leaned in close and whispered, ‘Can I tell you a secret? I stole it. Do you like to steal?'”

She Had A Terrifying Toenail Clipping Encounter

“I went to meet a guy for the first time at his house. There was a pile of toenail clippings on his coffee table. And it wasn’t one recent clipping. It was, like, many clippings. Out the door, I went.”

Her Date Wore A Camera Out To Dinner

“We had great chats online and decided to meet in person. He’s got a Bluetooth headset with a little LED light that shows it’s on.”

“He keeps it on during drinks. And I work up the nerve to ask if he can take off the headset while we’re eating dinner. With pride and complete confidence, he says, ‘Don’t worry! You totally have my full attention. This isn’t a phone headset; it’s a camera.'”
