Growing up means that you're learning how to drive, getting through high school and (dun dun) you've finally started dating. When I say dating I mean actually going on dates and not just Myspace messaging your crush. Unfortunately, you'll sometimes run into that date that made you swear off romantic interests forever (or maybe like two weeks). I asked my Facebook friends for their worst first date ever and here is what they said:

1. The Weight Watcher

"Matched with a guy on Tinder and decided to mutually meet at the restaurant separately. When we were finally sitting down, he ordered my meal for me, which was not what I wanted to eat. It was a salad and he said I looked like I needed to eat healthier. Then, he proceeded to ask me my views on politics, religion and abortion. Needless to say, I told him I need to excuse myself to the bathroom and I continued to sneak out the back and leave." - AnneMarie

2. The Hospital Trip

"On my first date, I had an allergic reaction to my dinner and my date had to drive my car home. I ended up seeing her for another four months. It was a sh*t show that night, though. She drove us back to my place and then her mom had to come pick her up and I was like dead and my parents were laughing so hard" - Zach

3. The Sacrifice

"Went to Caraba's (fancy Italian restaurant) and had my date dress absolutely horrible, no manners, then asked for me to give her gas money since "she had to sacrifice other plans." - Andrew

4. The Recruiter

"Went on a first date with a high-school girlfriend. I had no problem with her, the date was going well. But an army recruiter who was constantly after me in high school was at the table beside us and he never left me alone the entire time. Constantly getting on me about joining until we left the restaurant. Most annoying thing ever." - Derek

5. The Fast Food Date

"The guy I was talking to at the time was unable to make it to cheerleading E.C.O.L.'s (our one competition), so he offered to take me out afterward. He was wearing shorts and a hoodie and I tried to make myself look presentable. We went "out to eat" at McDonald's and then we went to the movies. He was rude the entire time and was being extremely self-centered. On our way home his truck ended up stalling out on the highway and when we finally made it home, he told me he would've actually taken me somewhere nice but he just "didn't feel like doing that today." - Gabrielle
