Scarred People Share Their All-Time Worst Dating Experiences

It hasn't been a very good year or two for dating. Many of us have developed agoraphobia and/or germaphobia, and some of us have forgotten how to have proper social interactions. These pandemic side effects make trying to find love even harder than it already was. While it may seem difficult to remember dating in the "before times," there are written histories available all over the internet. Today we're looking at a Reddit thread in which users were asked to share their absolute worst courtship experiences - and boy, did the people deliver. Some of the detailed accounts are enough to make us swear off dating for good. But they're also a great reminder that romancing in the modern world has pretty much always sucked. It just sucks a teeny bit more these days.
