Flat Fingers

"I went on a date with a guy, and we met at the restaurant. After the date was over, he walked me to my car, and was checking it out. Meanwhile, I was putting something in the back seat, and when I was done, I accidentally shut four of his fingers in my car door! I didn’t even realize I had done it, and he had to tell me. I was mortified! He wasn’t mad, but I still feel bad about it."

Glove for Love

"I was making small talk in this guy's car on the way to the restaurant for dinner. We starting talking about what kind of music I liked, and I mentioned a few, but EDM caught his attention. As soon as we got to a stop light, he pulled out a pair of rave gloves, like the ones with lights on the fingertips. I tried to play it off like it was really cool, and asked if he knew how to do the finger tricks. Apparently it’s called gloving. We finally pulled up at the restaurant, and we sat outside for at least 5 minutes so he could show me more tricks. It was still light outside so I couldn't even see the effects of the lights, just this guy basically doing the worm with his fingers and making really weird facial expressions. I finally convinced him to go inside, but he spent the entire dinner fishing for compliments about his performance, and begging me to let him teach me how to glove. I finally gave in and just kind of wiggled my fingers around, and he grabbed them and started moving them around while looking at me like this was some romantic and sensual thing to do. On the way home, he asked my favorite color and said, “okay I’m going to order some gloves with blue lights for you so I can teach you. Then we can go to a rave together!” Safe to say that was the last time we talked, and the last time I considered going to a rave."

Puke and Rally

“I went on a date with this guy I had a really big crush on. I wasn’t feeling well, but I didn’t want to cancel because I had been waiting on this date forever, so I decided to go anyway. He picked me up and drove us to the restaurant. After we ate dinner we went to the park in my neighborhood and sat in his car and talked. It was going really well until I started feeling really hot and nauseous. In the middle of our conversation, I had to open the door and throw up. I have NEVER been more embarrassed. He took me straight home and we never talked again."

Potty Party

"This guy wanted to take me to his friends party for our first date. I met him at his apartment, and we took an Uber to his friend’s apartment. When we got there, he swore he remembered what number it was, and after walking around for 45 minutes unable to find it, I finally convinced him to call his friend. He finally figured out what building it was, and complained that he had to pee the whole time we walked over there. We made it to the third floor of his friend’s building, but apparently he couldn’t hold it any longer. He literally peed off the balcony. I was so embarrassed and annoyed. It was definitely a deal breaker."
