20+ First dates that fizzled out fast: 'It was the first date. He brought his mom'

Making a good first impression is crucial when dating, yet so many people don't seem to care about that at all. They show up looking sloppy or arrive 20 minutes late. Some talk about their exes or rant about the reasons they've become jaded and bitter in life. And some are literally just looking for a free meal! 

Dating is all about managing expectations. You might not have a good time, or you might meet someone you adore. Much like a job interview, sometimes feelings change after the fact. You might think you had great chemistry on the date, but then within a day or two, your date has a change of heart and decides not to go out with you again. Or maybe you go out with someone you thought was cute in a group setting, but one-on-one, you realize they're a total bore. 

It's often interesting to get to know someone new, and just doing a fun activity might be enough to make the date worth going on. Even if you don't get along with your dating app crush, at least you got to make a painting or do some ax-throwing or some other cutesy activity. Still, it's an infuriating feeling when you realize 20 minutes into that first date that you're never going to see this person again. True love might be out there somewhere, but it hasn't found these people yet, because they're spilling the bad dates when they immediately decided, "Nah, I'm out."
