Embarrassing (Amusing) 'First Date' Experiences

TheScribbler

This is a topic to which all Boards enthusiasts can relate. We have all gone out on a first date or 'firstish' date where we have tried to impress but where disaster struck and we wished we could have been catapulted to another dimension to hide our mortification. Well this is your big chance to tell all. It is your opportunity to engage in Boards therapy and to share your story with fellow sufferers, and give us all a few laughs.

I will kick start the process with a cringe story of my own. Many years ago I took a girl out for a meal with friends. Having had an enjoyable evening I took her home via a romantic route in my car and stopped on the way back. On stopping, having had too much liquid on board I excused myself and exited the car but not wishing to be seen relieving myself I stepped further into the grass verge than was expedient in the dark only to tumble head over heels down an embankment while in full flow. I finally re-emerged after some minutes covered in nettle stings and bramble thorns with one trouser leg missing and the bare bit encased in a cow pat. My date burst out laughing and was still in hysterics as she entered her front door 'unaccompanied.' We didn't date again.

Last two ex-girlfriends I had Ive had the same thing happen to me on our first dates.

With my previous ex, I was out with her and her friends on a night out and was chatting away, then knocked over a vodka and 7Up onto my ex in front of all her friends and drenched her.

Then with my most recent ex I was out with her and she was drinking a big cocktail (Cosmopolitan I think). I knocked it over her and drenched her again. She was in the ladies room drying off for 20 minutes and I was left sitting there in the middle of the bar alone with people all staring at me having heard the commotion and seen how ruined her dress, handbag and jacket was. Got her shoes pretty badly as well. Her arm was so sticky for the rest of the night too.

When I was 18 I had been "seeing" one of the lads in our big group of friends for a few weeks (ie drunken kisses in the nightclub) when we decided we'd go out all day Paddy's Day together, a drunken student version of an official first date. Myself and my friend were meeting my Dad for a few drinks at midday and I was meeting the guy at about 2....that was the plan anyways. We ended up spending the day drinking with my Dad and his friends, I kept texting the guy with updated times that I'd meet him, but he didn't realise how much I'd been drinking and he was being good and staying sober to see me. So at about 7pm we finally met up, he was delighted to see me...until he saw the state of me

What had been meant to be our first date as an official couple went like this:

At about 8.30pm I went to jump up onto my friends back, she didn't expect it and we both fell backwards, I hopped the back of my head off a speaker, hair was matted with blood, the guy kept asking me had I blacked out, but I was so drunk I didn't know

So I started crying then because I was scared I had really hurt myself, so he said he'd take me home to his house to sober up before bringing me home.

We got to his house and the wanker makes me go into the sitting room to say hi to his mom, I just remember waving at her, staggering, and she looked at him horrified, he just said "Spadina had a few drinks and a bit of a fall", such a catch wasn't I?? :rolleyes: So then he brought me upstairs to his room to lie down, where I burst out crying and started texting my ex boyfriend telling him I loved him. We went out for a few months after that and all, it should've been a warning to me what a nutjob he was that he stuck around after that! (He became slightly obsessed and scary, but that's another thread!)

This happened in a very nice restaurant and I was having dinner (though not technically a 'date') with a girl I had fancied for a long time. I had scrubbed up a good bit for this, as I wanted to make a good impression, as you do.

Was wearing a new blazer/jacket, new shirt, slacks and so on.

Needed to relieve myself about halfway through dinner, so I went to the gents. After using the urinal, the zipper on the slacks was a bit stubborn in closing, so after a bit of wrenching, it finally snaked shut... right over a protruding piece of my new shirt.

Cue much swearing and cursing and jiggling of the zip. Take off jacket as I'm getting quite hot and stressed at this ''f*cking, c*nting, b*starding zip''.:mad: I try to pull the zip up to the top and then back down.

Eventually the little metal bit/grip on the zip flies off... and my fist goes flying into my own forehead, sending me sprawling all over the wet, piss-covered floor. In my new clothes, now destroyed and me semi-conscious.

Date ended rather rapidly after that....:(

i find it hard to believe that a posh restaurant would have piss all over the floor? maybe im wrong..

Not a first date but had been seening this girl for a couple of weeks. One night we went back to hers as she told me her parents were away for the weekend and her brother was staying in his girlfriends. Happy Days free house.

Well that was all good till the next morning. She had to go into work for a few hours from 7-11 and told me I could hang around till she came home. Well there was no way I was getting out of bed at that hour on a Sunday morning so I went back to sleep.

I woke up at about 10 o’clock, got dressed and went down stairs to be greeted in the kitchen by her parents and her brother who was sporting a very nice black eye that I had given him the day before playing football.

Needless to say I didn’t hang around till she came home.

I've done that twice. Asked a girl out at a friends 18th and arranged to meet up. I'm waiting outide Stephens Green shopping ctr and my internal dialogue is "Is that her? ooh that could be her.... WOW I hope that's her." After about 10 minutes I get a call and she says she's outside too and I thought "Oh crap, I'm probably after looking at her 10 times" but she was outside the park and I saw her on her phone across the road. Thank god embaressment was somewhat avoided.

This one's from quite a few years back:

Whilst walking to get a nitelink after a nightclub and absolutely hammered I run into a nice looking girl who's headed the same way as me on her own and end up chatting with her. Tell her I'll make she gets a cab safely or what have you so we wander on chatting away, ask her name twice and forget it both times! Getting on great and we eventually get to the taxi, she insists on sharing (despite being way out of my way) and asks for my phone number to arrange for dinner some time the next week. I give it to her since we're getting on great, drop her home and head home to sleep it off.

Wake up the next morning and get a text from an unknown number. Figure it's the girl I shared the taxi with and text something flirty back. Arrange to meet for drinks some night during the following week and send each other quite a few flirty texts in the run up to the date. Realise on the way in that I can't even remember what the girl looks like at this stage, never mind her name so pretty relieved when she walks up to me where we were supposed to be meeting and is still cute without the beer goggles.

We go for drinks, get on great. She's taking the piss out of me for forgetting her name twice while we were walking back and telling her I'd make sure she got to a taxi safe when I was in no state to be any use to anyone if something kicked off. We end up back at mine, she gets a taxi home in the early hours of the morning,

More texts during the week and meet up for a second date. Half way through she goes to the bathroom leaving her wallet on the table so I seized my opportunity, checked her bank card and finally found out her name!

Dated for a few months after that, are still friends to this day and she still has no idea that I made it the whole way through our first date without knowing her name!

Notice how most of the disasters happen to men - just an observation

Anyway, I had been dating this guy a short while (maybe 6 weeks) and we really liked each other. Still trying to make a good impression stage. He met me one Friday after work and we went for drinks with my work crowd. There was a free wine tasting on and I ended up absolutely occified. In the bathroom with my head in the toilet for 45 mins. He comes in and scrapes me off the floor and takes me home in a taxi. About 5 mins from home I barfed all over him and was made pay the €75 charge in the taxi. He must have found it endearing because we were together for over 4 years after that.

Went out to dinner with a friends girl friends friend (we hit it off in a club one night), nothing too fancy. Anyhoo we were getting on great, exchanging stories, funny times, holidays, travel etc etc when after 15 mins (just finished the starters) she says "no i dont agree with that". We were talking about how it sucks that Irish isn't spoken in Ireland. She didn't agree it was because of British rule... (go figure?). Cool no worries I said and tried to move onto the nex topic. But no she wasn't having it, before i knew it she was standing up in the packed Mao's screaming abuse at me. Saying Im a racist b'tard, typical bloke who doesn't know how to treat a lady amongst many more abusive language.

Embarrassed to say the least I tried to calm her down. Explaining nothing had happend its ok we were just talking there's no need to make a scene. NOpe still more abuse "do you think I am mad and making it up you abused me!!" Enough was enough I said "ok lets call it quits its not working out" at this our mains arrive. I said to the waiter look we're off sorry for the scene I'll pay at the dooor......"no you wont we'll split the bill im not some scabby biatch....." I / we pay for the uneaten meal and leave.... or i try to leave.

Ya see I didn't drive and was a few miles from home. She insisted on giving me a lift in that kind of psycho way. I said feck it if she attacks me I'll knock her out whats the worst that could happen. 2 mins in the car and nothing but silence (felt like 20). She turns and says "im sorry I suffer from depression and I didn't mean to have an outburst like that. I really like you but I flipped out I hoep you can understand". Yeh yeh I said its ok ya know dont worry about (nervous and starting to get afraid). "no!!!" she insists "I'd really liek to give another date a go, what do you think?"... fearing she has a tire iron some where close to hand I entertain this and try to be supportive. At this stage she is in full flight tears while driving. I did all that i could to chill her out.... thankfully we made it to my gaff after her balling her eyes out.

We stop outside and I said "thanks for the lift and Im sorry you had such a hard time during dinner, depression is very hard to cope with and I hope she'll be ok driving home".... nothing... silence. Hm ok i think... then she turns to me with fire in her eyes "Just get the F out of my car you pr*ck".

OMG, I got out of the car in a flash and went straight to my mates house to berrate him for setting me up with a nut case!!!

I have never had a good first date. Most people I have ended up going it with have been friends of friends who I may have hung around with for a while and hey presto we are an item. To be honest when people ask me out on a date the nerves kill me so I end up acting like a complete knob.

We meet in front of BT in Limerick and begin a walk to a nearby pub and she says to me "I thought you wore glasses?".

When we were all introduced the week before my other friend had glasses on.

She insisted she asked for the right person but I didn't believe her. It fizzled out after one more meet up.

Why didn't you just wear a pair of glasses on the second date in order to get your hole?

I've got a good one! Wasn't a first date but I went out with a girl who didn't tell me she had a blood disorder which means she can have episodes. She wasn't drunk or anything and went into the bathroom. About 10 minutes later I see a bouncer dragging her ass out of the toilet and they leave her outside.

I went outside and sat her down..she couldn't talk and her eyes were all over the place. It was as though she was very very drunk. She couldn't tell me where she lived so I had to bring her back to my place. So I put her into my bed and slept with her(No Funny business though)....anyway I woke up around 8am...feeling very warm...she had pissed all over me!!..She seemed better when we got to mine was making some conversation...didn't expect that in a million years

First date with a girl we said "sheep" but with a bit of a lisp. I look at her confused because she had been talking fine up untill then. I ask her why she was talking with a lisp, I thought she was making a joke or something. She says "thats because I have a bit of a lisp". Oh dears!!!! Embarrassment City

Sounds like a certain well known kebab chain to me, i've never seen the floor clean, not once. It's like they actually empty a bucket of piss on it every hour or so. Classy!!

First date with my lovely ex-girlfriend involved lots and lots of wine. She threw up on me and then fell over and smashed her face off a wall. She then threw up in my bed.

We discovered later that she had lost her bag. Just as well that we got on like a house on fire, because her housemates were away for Christmas so she had to stay with me for 3 days until she could get her friend to send her down a spare set of keys.

I thought it was all hilarious. Embarrassing for her though as she had to go to work the next day (when they all knew she had been out on a date the previous night) dying of a hangover, in filthy clothes with a black eye and a big cut on her face.

A different first date at a girl's friend's birthday party, involved me drinking on medication that you really aren't supposed to drink on, making a general drunken nuisance of myself and completely blacking out. I sobered up moderately to find myself alone in a nightclub. I found the girl in question "chatting up" (ie. politely talking to) someone else and proceeded to lecture her about messing me around and not bothering to talk to me all night.

All well and good until the next day when the magic of facebook photos revealed that the person she had been talking to was in fact her best friend; not a rival. And I had indeed spent a lot of time in her presence that night - generally grabbing on to her with a messy drunken leer on my face, whilst her and her seemingly sober friends look repelled by my very existence.

Needless to say that was the last date. I was told months later that I had been so repellent that night, that despite earlier promise, she just couldn't bring herself to look at me in the same light again. I of course apologised again and told her that I didn't remember much. "It's probably best that you don't" she replied...ouch

My first "date" ended back at my place where my flatmates had left 'Electirc Six - Gay bar' on repeat and a condom hanging from the ceiling with a smiley face drawn on it.

When I was 15 I went on a movie date with a girl i'd liked for ages. We were walking homewards through a park and I tripped a little, didn't fall, but I did tear my rediculously baggy trousers. Then they kept getting caught under mh shoe and tearing more. By the time we were out of the park they were ripped up past my knee and billowing back in the wind.

When I was 19 I took a girl out, she was 17, to the cinema and then went to Eddies. We ended up back in her parents as they were out (giggidy). She was walking me back towards a bus stop when she paused turned and puked all over the place. She was mortified but I thought it was just funny. I happened to have tissues, water and chewing gum on me, but didn't get a goodnight kiss (probably better off).

My mate turned up on a first dinner date and half-way through realized that he'd forgotten his wallet.

Dublin141

The first time my OH and I kissed (tame version) we went for something to eat afterwards and he told me that he had something to tell me, he was only 16 but would I still see him again. I almost cried. All I kept thinking was but he has man hands, he has man hands!

Anyway, he made me feel like a right old cradle snatcher. He said that he thought I was lying about my age too because I look so young. For an hour I sat at a bus stop with him waiting for his bus (because I thought he was too young to be in Dublin alone) and the whole time I kept shuddering and going ew. Just as the bus arrived he burst out laughing and said ah I was only winding you up.

He had to come back with his i.d. before I'd believe him. (I still check it, just in case

). To this day he says that I only went out with him again because I was so relieved that he wasn't actually underage. It's true too. :mad:

Seven years later and he's still boasting about fooling me...

I had what I thought was a date arranged. Was going to meet a girl for drinks. She said she'd tell me which pub to go to. I got the text around 8 asking to meet in a night club at 11:30...got there and she was there with loads of her friends...she was 18 and I was 20. Her friends and here spent the night running away and then coming back to me and running away etc. She thought it was perfectly normal and wanted to meet up again. I left after an hour and got drunk by myself.

My last first date with my current girlfriend as I met her outside the restaraunt I told the biggest stinker of a joke...asked her to be easy on me that I learned everything I know about dating from Saved By The Bell...luckily she gave me a chance!

It was summer and i was going out for a walk with this unreal girl I was mad about - we had 3 dates before we even kissed, and this was the 2nd.
I got a huge boner and couldn't hide it cos of the netting in the shorts.
She just kept laughing and I got real self conscious.
I was like, im never wearing shorts again!!
Went out for 2 and a half years tho, so maybe it was a charm. Unreal girl too.

This is a lesson in being honest and upfront.....i was asked on date to a very posh restaurant ...i was working late on the day of the date ..so i decided to take a change of clothes to work with me get changed there...all goes well until i realise i had forgotten my high heels...the shoes i had on were a mankie pair of runners... id just have to go home and get the high heels..i knew this would make me a bit late but for some strange reason i didn't phone the guy and tell him id be late ...so i dress up in work make up included but with the mankie runners on ...

Then when i leaving work i realise sky fest is on in and the traffic is at a standstill ....by this stage my date is phoning my asking where i am ... again instead of being honest and saying ... look its going to take me a least an hour to get to you ...i said I'll be a few minutes late..he phoned a few time after that with me still saying i wont be long ... i think i should have given up when he said the restaurant were asking him did he still want the table....

Eventualy i get there... no hope of going home to get the high heels...couldnt find any parking neer the resturant....by this stage im stressed out all the make up has melted off, im sweting... i run from the car to the resturant...i meet him in the looby of the resturant where he has being siting for two hours...i must have looked a state...we did have the dinner and he kinda say the funny side of it

Unlucky does not even begin to describe... But at least I can crack a little bit of a grin at the story now. I nearly used to want to curl up into a ball and cry thinking of it a while back. Realise now it is actually quite amusing, if sinfully embarrassing.

This is nore awkward than embarrassing, but anyway

My first date with my ex. I was 18, she was 21, we met in a pub on a sat night, i got her number and a few days later i texted her. We decided to go to the cinema. i met her outside, and we chatted etc. I decided we should see "Monster's Ball", i heard it was ok, adn it was the only half decent thing on anyway.

All was goin well, i had made the stretch and drop the arm over the shoulder move

(smooth i was). The movie was ok, not great, until.... the sex scene with Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry :eek: cue the two of us looking around, trying not to look at the screen or eachother. It never seemed to end! went on for ages, it was like a porno!

We laughed about it in the following years but at the time, t'was rather awkward
