'My Eyes Were Red and Puffy’: First Date Dos and Don'ts From Romantic Redditors Who Learned The Hard Way

First dates elicit that 'eek!' reaction that never seems to go away, no matter how many first dates we've been on. Meeting someone new (especially from an app) is always pretty nerve-wracking, and we're well aware of the million things that could go wrong. Can you think back to your own worst first date and pinpoint what about it was so terrible? Because we sure can… from punctuality to the long rants about the recent ex, the dude was digging his own grave before the first drink arrived.

To be fair, at times we've also been a terrible date for other people; particularly when going through a breakup ourselves. Oh, the cringey things we would say. Our eyes would be slightly puffy, our frown was not going upside down, and we left the pub super early because the dude noped right out of the date. See, we all make mistakes.

Below you'll find some hilarious tips from Redditors who have seen it all. For more, here are some cringey pickup lines that didn't pass the vibe check.
