A first date is one of the most nerve wracking social experiences out there. Navigating what is basically a job interview for a partner (or at least friends with benefits), it’s hard enough when you like the other person — let alone when they seem to be doing everything in their power to make sure you never want to speak to them again.

Recently, a thread on r/AskMen has gone into this topic in detail, asking men to share all their stories of first dates so bad that they had to leave them early. From DUIs to unexpected group dates, there are some pretty crazy stories here.
