People Share First Date Stories That Made Them Decide Against a Second Date

First dates exist for particular purposes. They're not really about discovering if you're in love with someone or feel a crazy amount of chemistry with them. Sure, that can happen, and if it does, good for you, but that's not the #1 priority. The most important thing about a first date is finding out if the other person is crazy. Secondarily, they exist to determine if their vibes are so vile that they are entirely undateable. 

First impressions aren't everything, but there are so many red flags that can occur on a first date that might signal that this person is not the one. If they can't properly communicate via text before and after the date, that's a sign. Additionally, if they only talk about themselves the whole time and don't ask you any questions, you're probably not with a real winner. Those qualities sound elementary compared with some of the things Redditors recently shared when asked to share their worst first-date horror stories.
