Have you ever been on an awkward date? Or a date that was so bad it was funny?

No matter how bad your dates may seem, you are not alone. Have a read through some of our disastrous dates. You will 100% feel better about your bad dates.


Capturing your personality on a date is very important, especially in the early stages of a relationship. We have found that typical date ideas, like movies or dinner, make it harder to reflect who you are.

Music may be the food of love but let’s admit it – food is the ultimate way to any guy or girl’s heart.

The real question is how you play hard to get without crossing the line into disinterested – or worse yet, off-limits. There is nothing more frustrating that reconnecting with an old crush to hear they were crazy about you too, but you thought they “out of your league”.

With the incessant airbrushed ads that envisage the unreachable gold standards of so-called naked perfection to the fairly vapid model on which a well known and loved dating application is based - a simple glance at a person’s photo being enough to decide whether to give the right swipe of approval or the dreaded left swipe that is like a sweeping scythe of romantic death, mowing down all those potentials each with a unique complex of hopes, personality and experience to offer aside from their outward appearance.
