Tell Us Your Good & Bad Date Stories!

Editor Caroline wants to know your secrets, good and bad . . . !

Here at Piatkus Entice, we love hearing about good and bad date experiences. Was that first date one that you’d just never want to relive or was it the one that you met Mr Right on? I asked a group of girlfriends (all anonymous of course!) what their worst date stories were ever . . . answers below!

The date that sticks in the mind as particularly disastrous took place when I was at university. You know the scene. I took a book from a shelf in the library and our eyes locked over the gap between. He was really good looking and when he asked me out to coffee at the student union I was chuffed. He started with some lovely compliments but then in a blink of an eye started raving about the end times and Judgement Day for all who’d sinned. Needless to say I thought, Blimey. This is a bit full on for coffee! Once he’d finished his rant, he then went on to describe in minute detail his daily diet and how many calories he needed to function. This went on for quite some time. Thank goodness I could escape to my next lecture. It’s safe to say that when he called to fix a date for the next discussion of the end times, I was washing my hair!

I’d liked a guy for ages and so was very nervous about our first date. So I had a (large!) glass of wine before I left the house. Then more wine at dinner. Then a cocktail. And then . . . I threw up on him! I’m now happily married, but not to that guy who, unsurprisingly, never called me back!

I had a really bad date where we ran out of conversation so badly that the high point was when Twitter announced Amazon was buying Goodreads. We both noticed because we were both checking our phones that much.

Send us your best and worst date stories in! We’re dying to hear them!

Love,

Caroline x
