People Are Opening Up About Their Crappiest Dates Ever, And Oh God, Let Me Delete The Apps Again

“We talked on the phone for a week before meeting up. She suggested meeting in a parking lot before heading out, for safety reasons. Cool by me. What I didn’t know at the time was that it was the parking lot to a Chuck E. Cheese’s. She brought her two kids (ages 4 and 6) with her and wanted our date to include the children at the aforementioned Rat Pizza and Child Casino. I spent two hours playing games with the kids so as not to disappoint them. After we left, I let her know that we wouldn’t be seeing each other again. Bringing your kids on a first date with a dude without informing him is just trashy. Don’t mention ‘safety’ when you’re dragging your kids along on a date with a stranger. I have absolutely no issue with dating a woman with children. Hell, my wife had two kids when we met, but at least she didn’t drag them out on our first date.”

“I felt bad for the kids in all of it. She tried to guilt-trip me by saying that her children loved spending time with me and that her previous dates never went nearly as well. So I wasn’t the first person she had pulled this on; I was just the first one who didn’t leave immediately upon seeing her with kids.”
