32 Hilarious Memes Highlighting Those Awkward Dating Encounters That Leave An Aftertaste of Cringe

A girl and a boy cross paths. They talk and joke around, and eventually, the guy works up the nerve to ask the lady out. Not long after their first encounter, the guy feels this unexplainable urge to meet up with the mysterious girl he happened to run into earlier. Rather than patiently waiting, the guy picks up his phone and calls the girl. One thing leads to another, and an hour after the phone call, the girl is getting ready for an impromptu date night with her romantic new mystery man. They arrive at precisely 8 p.m. and begin to search for one another. Finally, through the crowd, their eyes collide. I know, a fairytale in the making… But then, it all comes crashing down. The food is cold, the drinks never arrive, the conversation is minimal at best, and they are both longing for the clock to strike nine so that they can find their way back home. 

Bring back any memories? If you're anything like me, you've probably had at least one disastrous dating experience. So, if you think that enough time has passed and you're ready to laugh at the past, check out some incredibly realistic first-date memes here! And when you're done, check out some hot takes of twenty-somethings flirting with the idea of commitment!
