Women share worst first date stories in horrifying Twitter thread

Going on a bad date can be a pretty awful experience — but it can also make for one heck of a story.

Last month, Twitter user @_ItsMissBre asked women on the social media platform to share stories of their worst dates ever, and hundreds delivered.

Women (and a few men) chimed in to tell horrifying, hilarious, and truly eyebrow-raising tales of romantic encounters gone awry, from the dates that turned out to be pyramid scheme recruitment meetings to the ones that made women actually fear for their safety.

They rehashed stories of shocking cheapskates, self-assured racists, and discomfiting fetishists.

And while their tweets serve as red flags of what other women should look out for, they also make for side-splitting reading.

So awkward! Women are sharing their worst first date stories on Twitter
