Dating can be fun, exciting, and romantic — but sometimes it can also be awkward, cringey, and downright horrible. We’ve all had our share of bad dates, but some people have experienced things that are beyond belief. That’s why Reddit user u/batmanstitty asked the question: “What’s the worst thing a person has said to you while on a date?” The responses are hilarious, shocking, and downright disturbing. Here are some of the most outrageous things people have heard on dates that will make you glad you’re single — or appreciate your partner more.
