'A few years ago I went out with this girl I had met on OKCupid. She was already drunk when she showed up 45 minutes late,' Dominque told Thought Catalog. 'She was falling all over me and I knew we were about to get tossed out of the restaurant so I suggested we go to my house to order food. There was no way she could be in public.' 'On the way to my place she kept saying she would have sex with me without a condom. There was just something about her stressing that I didn’t have to wear a condom that really creeped me out so I got her some water once we got to my place and called her a cab. It was a complete disaster.' We hope she got whatever help she needed. Some folks have a sip of alcohol to calm their nerves but enough is enough.

A young woman agreed to a blind date only to find out her perfect match was her ex. Their mutual friend had no idea that they dated and ended on bad terms. That was the first and last blind date for her.

'He talked about himself all through dinner, then drove me around to show me where all his ex gfs lived.

Redditor Matchotamium has seen it all. 'Wasn't necessarily the date, which was bad on its own,' he wrote. 'But the fact that she hung out in my parking lot for two hours after she dropped me off in case I changed my mind about doing something after dinner.'

If anyone ever tells you, 'It's so cute that you're pursuing an education even though you're a girl,' dump them immediately. That's exactly what one horrified woman did.

Genevieve, 24, shared about a time she went to the movies with a guy she was set up with by a mutual friend. 'I thought it was going fairly well, but then he went to the bathroom. I waited 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 20 minutes. He left. I had to call my friend to come pick me up and I never heard from him again. It was so humiliating.' Can you believe this jerk? We love our friends but it turns out that only about 17 percent of dates set up by friends lead to a second.

I thought he was into fitness because he had on an ankle weight. He was actually on parole and it was an ankle monitor.'

Alex, 25, told Thought Catalog about a woman he went out with once. They went to a sushi restaurant and she ordered an Arnold Palmer. 'The waitress didn’t know what it was initially, and my date made a huge deal before irritatedly explaining that it’s half tea, half lemonade,' he said. 'She continued to be incredibly rude to the waitress — snarky remarks, smug attitude, really snappy. This went on for 15 minutes and eventually my date says to me, 'This waitress sucks and is such a bitch, right?' Because she was so hot, I did the pushover, cowardly thing and was like, 'Yeah, kind of.'' 'Turns out the waitress was my date’s best friend and they were playing a prank on me, but she was so shocked that I agreed it was just awkward from that point on. Haven’t interacted since that night.'

It's awkward enough running into someone you know while you're on a date. Ally, 27, was mortified when she spotted her dad making out with a lady at sushi restaurant. The lady wasn't her mom. She ended up running out in tears and no, there was no second date.

Evan Schlessel tweeted that his friend made him a mixed drink to 'loosen up' before his date. The secret ingredient? Laxatives. Oh, we forgot to mention that the date was with a beautiful woman.

Not only did they go to a frog jump festival, they had to cut it short because his wife, who has a restraining order against him, showed up as well.

It's always best to play it safe the first date. Just ask @SJSchauer, whose date fell while skateboarding towards her. He blacked out for 10 minutes.

'A friend set me up with a guy who loved his guinea pigs so much he brought them along in a cage on the date - all eight of them. I faked an allergy,' one young woman wrote. Any small chance this would've worked for animal lovers or is still too much at once?

'My blind date asked me if I was pregnant. When I said, 'No,' he asked me if I wanted to be.'
