27 Terrible First Dates That Made People Want To Quit The Dating Scene Forever

“He had told me prior to the date that he was a widower. Once I arrived at the restaurant, he told me he was standing in a parking spot to save it for me. I thought that was a jerk move, so I told him I’d already parked. But he told me to move to his spot to make it worth his while, since a car had already yelled at him for holding it. As soon as we were seated, he showed me his recent vacation pictures, explaining each one in detail. They were all of him alone in the wilderness with the same dead-eyed stare. When I mentioned my divorce, he made a big production of how I must be so frustrated that he hadn’t told me how his wife died. I said no, that’s fine for now. Then he shoved his phone in my face and said, ‘In case you don’t believe me.’ It was a picture of his wife’s death certificate.”

“I said, ‘In case I don’t believe what?’ He responded, ‘That she died by suicide.’ I changed the subject. I knew I wouldn’t go out with him again, but he was so intense, I didn’t want to upset him. Then, he took out a trash bag that he’d brought with him to reveal homemade desserts. He said they were from his neighbour and he wanted ot share with me. At that point, I knew there was no way I’d dare to eat anything he gave me. He didn’t seem stable. As I was trying to wrap up the date, he started planning our next date. He wanted to cook for me at his place. I said, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t be comfortable going to your house on a second date, I’m sorry.’ He said, unprompted, ‘Oh, don’t worry about it, if I get too excited, I know to be a gentleman and go in the bathroom and handle it myself so we can go on with our evening.’ We left shortly after, and I made it to my car, and that was it. And yes, I think he killed his wife.”
