    In high school I was invited to be a third wheel for a friend who I’m pretty sure had never been on a date before. He was so nervous he ended up knocking over a large glass full of ice water. Twice.

    Unfunny, she asked if I was dating her because she had blonde hair. Well duh, yah part of dating is that you are physically attracted to that person but her accusing me of being that shallow guaranteed I wouldn’t go out with her again. “You are a judgemental shit.”

    I dated a person who had a non-identical twin. A month later, I went on a date with the twin, not knowing they were family. I hit it off way better with twin #2 and continued going on dates for a bit. The introduction to family and realization they were twin to #1 was awkward to say the least.

    (FYI: this is divorcées attempting to date)

    Went on my 1st date after divorce. Sat down together at a café. After greeting each other, she immediately asks “So when do you intend to move to my town?”. I reply by saying “Whoa! Take it slow. Let’s get to know each other first!” and feeling that she can’t be serious about her question.

    She, however, explodes in my face that she has a life and a kid in that other town and no time to waste. I managed to reply that I have a life and kids in this current town we’re in, too, before she jumps up and storms away cursing.

    Not the most conducive first post-marital dating experience.

    We were taking a walk by the sea on a cold-ish winter night. Some stupid teens got up on the walls at the edge of the quay and started posing for photos and shit. Just as one of them was in the middle of yelling to her friends something about how not-scary it was up on that wall, two of them lost their balance and fell in the water. It was a big splash. I mean it was not good for those two kids of course, but the timing could not have been more hilariously perfect.

    First date with someone who absolutely hated Apple started talking about getting a smart phone (this was around 2010) and how she should probably get an iPhone cause it’s better but boy does she hate Apple.

    I’m just sitting there, can’t believe this moment is happening cause it’s the sort of thing you’d see scripted in a movie or tv show. She finishes hating Apple and asks btw what do I do?

    “I work for Apple on the iPhone.”

    She practically choked she was so surprised, laughing, and feeling embarrassed. We ended up dating for a while and remained friends after.

    One time when I worked at a hardware store, I was loading concrete bags for a woman and I asked her, “you wanted eight?” to confirm how many she requested. She asked back, “do I want a date??” Anyway, I was too shy to pretend that I was asking her out, so this comment is only sort of about dating.

    We realized we were both from Hassia (a German state) and from that moment on we just talked in that dialect and made jokes for the rest of the day. It didn’t work out between us but it was a super fun date.

    IDK about funny but I asked a girl out for the first time in my life as a young adult like 19 or 20 We met at a bar and I was already nervous. Within the first five minutes I started hyperventilating and had to leave due to a massive anxiety attack. I was so embarrassed that I never contacted her again.

    I had a few nice girlfriends as a teen but this one was so special it made me a nervous wreck and caused me way to much anxiety.

    I wanted to take a girl out. But I wanted to do something fun. I was sick of getting coffee; watching movies is worse. It’s just fuckin awkward. I had taken a girl some time before for beers and ping pong one time, and we had a fuckin BLAST. And so, I thought to myself, what is fun? Like ping pong fun? I know! Go karts are fun! Let’s do some go karts!

    And so for my first date with this poor girl we went to a go karts place and got in our little go kart suits and raced go karts around the track. That was the day that I learned that not all girls like go karts. Idk; she thought I was unique I guess; she tried to have a good time and we kept seeing each other after. But she referred to the go karts date as her “trauma” and regularly gave me shit for it after, and for my general lack of any kind of adult understanding of women or life in general.

    TL;DR apparently I am 12 years old I guess

      Go Karting is a very fun date idea. I think the wrong thing was to make it a first date kind of thing. Assuming you didn’t know each other beforehand, the first few dates should be the kind where you actually talk to each other to determine compatibility. Stay being awesome though. Think I might take my wife go Karting. Haven’t done it in a while.

        Yeah. Dates where something HAPPENS are in my experience an S tier idea. Walking around the park, playing a game, interacting in some way. All good things. Like I say, getting buzzed and playing ping pong and flirting was fuckin magic. But both of us being in our go karts with helmets on and 0 interaction and the stress of “wtf I am going way too fast what if I crash this thing I hate this so much” is a little bit less of an S tier idea. Definitely for a first date at least.

      Bah, she’s an adult, she could have turned down go karting and suggested something else.
