Sometimes, the reality of a date doesn’t match your expectations. And it’s only with a good sense of humor and an understanding of the fact that we are all different that we can try to save the situation. The characters in our compilation encountered all kinds of issues on dates like breaking their keys 15 minutes before going on a date, swimming away from a date and even falling asleep on a date. And those aren’t even the worst of them!

Strange Italian rendezvous

When a person’s true self opens up just after meeting:

“My son’s first ’date’ looks like it’s going well…”

When their actions reveal the true situation:

He was so close to success…

“This just happened to me 15 minutes before a date…”

“Let’s just say we never quite made it to the cinema.”

We all have different first dates.

“I love dating tall guys so when we break up I can keep my pictures.”
