'Made cake for a girl and got stood up and ghosted': 20+ Dates gone wrong

These people are finding out for themselves why the dating game is so hard!

When you're in a loving relationship, you may wonder why your single friends aren't dating so much. They talk about wanting to find their soul mate, but they won't touch dating apps. "Why not?" you wonder from the comfort of your loving romantic relationship. Well listen up, pal. I'll tell you: It's because first dates are often the worst.

Perhaps love is just difficult in general. They say you know when you know, and that's so true, bestie. But it's also true that I always know within like, 5 minutes of a first date if I'm going to go out with that person again, and I don't think I'm the only one who gets that gut feeling. Because as much as we want dates to go right, far more often they just go wrong. Some people just talk for the entire date without ever letting you get a word in edgewise. Other folks throw up red flags, like ordering your meal for you, telling you about their exes and why they dislike their parents, or planning out a full future with a person they've known in person for 15 minutes. All of these things have happened to me now, and this is why people avoid dating at all costs. "I'm tapping out! I can't do it!" I tell my friends. But then I get bored and go check out the dating apps again, because clearly I'm a hopeless romantic who will never learn their lesson.

At least I'm in good company! Some of the people below had bad dates, on or off of dating apps. Maybe all of us will just stay single forever rather than go on one more date that ends with, "Hey, I had a nice time but…"

Up next, read about the person who destroyed an HOA from the inside out, making the President resign and "put his house up for sale."

This person explained that one of their Bumble prompts is about baking, so their date suggested a baked-food exchange. Now that this person got unmatched from her, they're just in possession of a sad carrot cake tres leches that they don't even want to eat now. Hopefully their next date is more appreciative of a good dessert!

"It was a giant meatball covered in tomato sauce, and it just rolled down from top to bottom like a slide," this person writes

Assert dominance, comment on it and see what she says!

Call her out, and let the drama unfold from there.

That is a lot of calls for one Thursday! Blocking her is a good idea

I guess disliking fried Oreos was a dealbreaker for her

It's a good thing they're perfect and can find someone way better than him

Breaking up over text is a CHOICE!

She could've just told her date that she only preferred one flavor or something...

This is only cute if you're already dating and your S.O. enjoys that kind of quirkiness
