Things we call weird are usually pretty subjective. Like, what’s weird to you might not be weird to me and vice versa. Everyone has their own take. However! Some of the answers that Reddit user u/IsThisAppOk got when they asked, “What’s the weirdest date you have been on?” are just straight-up undeniably weird. As in, not debatable, 100% bonkers stuff. I mean, seriously, what the hell, people? Anyway, enjoy the following collection of 21 weird-ass dates and thank your lucky stars that these aren’t your stories.
1. Sooo, You’re Also Her

2. Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Potato
u/ImMuju
Probably the 2nd date with my now wife. Some guy paid me to get revenge on a buddy of his and wanted me to scatter a few hundred pounds of potatoes into his buddies front yard. It was near where I was planning on taking my now wife and she said she would be cool with helping. So we drove to this guys house, made sure he was not home, filled his yard and driveway with potatoes together then went on our date.

3. It’s-a Me, Miami-o!
u/[deleted]
The guy faked an Italian accent the entire time.
He was from Florida.

5. “Too Much?” —Dan
u/shortcakie
I went on a date with a guy named Dan when I was in my late teens. Dan said “I’d like you to meet my father, hes going to love you”
So I got in the car and as we started heading out of town I asked where we were going and Dan said “you’ll see, we’re almost there”
15 minutes later we pull I to a cemetery and he says come with me, I was nervous as I followed him down a little hill and he kneeled down in front of a tombstone and said “dad, meet shortcakie, she’s going to be my wife someday”.
That was the first and last date Dan and I ever had.

6. No. Nope. Uh-uh. Nyet. Nein.
u/wavetoicarus
Went on a date with a dude who showed up with a “test” for me that he made at work. Literally two pages typed up, back and front. I think it was 50 questions and each one was…about my boobs. As in “Can I touch your boobs?” “Can I touch your tits?” “Can I touch your cans?” Same question, different word for boobs each time. I was meant to circle my answers and then sign and date it. I gtfo there promptly.

7. Wear Cat Ears, Get Skritches? I’m In.
u/whyImcalledqueen
The time a woman over a foot taller than myself invited me over to her house had me try on some cat ears and then pet me while we watched a movie calling me a cute kitty. Then after the date deleted her profile and I never heard from her again, weird date, but I wouldn’t refuse her massaging my scalp again.
“Excellent.”

8. Me: “I’d Like To Leave Now.” Her: “That’s The Spirit!”
u/[deleted]
Meet a girl online and she comes to pick me up for dinner, ends up being with her entire family. I tried to engage each of them but everyone seems like someone had just died and has one word answers. We then go to a “fall” themed party where her friends and her are covered in leaves, I just wanted to see a movie or something not meet everyone you know in an afternoon.

9. Another One!
u/SpelledWithAn_H
Once went out on a date with a guy who claimed to be a DJ. We went back to his place to watch a movie (wink wink nudge nudge). He had his full DJ equipment set up in his room, turntables and all.
He asked “Have I mentioned I’m a DJ?” He had.
“Check this out!”
Guy proceeds to DJ horrifically for thirty minutes as I sit silently on his bed. I ask if he wants to watch a movie or not.
He says “Hang on, this is a good song coming up.”
I suddenly remember I have to be home. Right now.
He was still DJing as I left.

10. Who Invited Dad?

11. My Guess: Not Doing All Right
u/hojabisupreme
Long story short, I went on a date a guy that took me on a forty-five minute hellride through Lansing in which he ran every red and yellow light while gripping my upper thigh and telling me that he’d “found my girl” despite the fact that I was too horrified to speak. Also felt the need to tell me he was Korean when his family was ethnic Hazara from Afghanistan. Weird guy. I hope he’s doing all right.

12. I Repeat: Did. Not. Own. A. Cat.
u/burgerocious
And another one. Meet this girl who calls herself otherkin of the feline variety. Whatever, she was really hot even with the cat ears, tail, painted on whiskers and leopard print. We go back to her place and she’s got one of those big cat jungle gym things which she proceeded to play on for a bit. After that was done we had some way above average sex. Afterward I used her bathroom and found her litterbox. She did not own a cat.

13. That’s 11.29 Times, In Case You’re Wondering. In A Row.
u/itsgirby
Went on a date with a guy who was a bus boy at the restaraunt I worked at. We got into his car and he played Piano Man on repeat for the whole 32 minute drive to the movies, as well as the whole 32 minute drive home. That songs been hell ever since.

14. My Fish And I Are Leaving
u/MsSpEducator
First thing this guy wanted to talk about was pets. He loves his cat, I’m very allergic. Tell him I just got a fish. The rest of the evening, said fish was the topic of every conversation. Oh, you like rollercoasters? You should bring your fish with you! Put him in a water bottle! How do you make friends as an adult? Take your fish to the dog park!
This went on for three hours.

15. Not-So-Smooth Criminal
u/PomChiPrincess
We were walking out of the movies and this guy tried to hide the sound of his fart by sliding a rock on the concrete. It didn’t work….

16. Undisputed Hot Potato Champ

17. What’s A Stronger Word For Confused? Insert Here.
u/meggletteprime
A guy took me to a monastery for catholic mass in Latin before proceeding to tell me that he wanted to become a priest, maybe. This is while we are trapped on a ferris wheel after mass. He also then tries to kiss me at the end.
Not really sure what his plan was.

18. I Too Will Be Gone
u/Watch_shbeagle
I dunno what happened or what it was that I said, but my date decided it was time to dump her entire emotional being onto me mid-date. Then, she capped it off by belting out A-ha’s “take on me” at the top of her lungs on the ride home. Falsetto; opera style

19. You Only Get One Chance At A First Impression!
u/katomatic22
Met a nice lassie on tin and after we got the grapes to meet up she showed up in a fox suit… once i convinced her to leave the head off (it was creepy as hell) after that it was pretty good! Didnt work out but hey i made a fren

20. Should’ve Known After He Said To “Just Put The Ice Cream On My Bill.”
u/AntiRaz
Date started very normal, we went and got ice cream and then headed over to the park. Walking around, nice conversation, having a good time, then he sees a duck by the pond and high tails it over there. When I finally caught up, he was sat next to the water singing to the ducks. I laughed at first, but it went on for way too long and people started staring.

21. Saved The Absolute 100% Best For Last
u/NotAllThatGreat
Happened years ago when I was in college. Worked at Marshall Fields and made friends with this girl from one of the makeup counters. She had sort of a punk rock style that I thought was different and cute. Decided one night after work we’d hit up Applebee’s right next door. I ordered some boneless wings while she decided to have ketchup. Just ketchup. Like, squeezed a good amount onto her plate and smiled at me while she ate it with a fork. I tried to hold a conversation with her but she mostly sat there eating her dumb plate of ketchup, smiling at me, thinking I’d find it cute or something. It was disgusting. The date ended pretty quickly and I stopped talking to her after that. I’ve definitely had worse dates, but that one was the weirdest.

What About You?
What’s the weirdest date that you’ve ever been on? Tell us in the comments below!
u/10per
She talked about herself in the 3rd person the whole time. I didn’t realize until the date was almost over that she did not have a best friend with the same name as her.
