Remember when you were young and you couldn’t wait to be old enough to go on dates? Ignorance is bliss.

Dating can certainly be fun, but most of us have at least a few awkward date stories (and, hey, some of even ended up marrying those people!). But no matter how stilted the conversation was or boring your date might have been, chances are these 10 people still had a worse experience.

When Jimmy Fallon began reading #worstfirstdate Tweets on his late-night talk show in January 2018, thousands of people chimed in to share the details of some seriously horrifying encounters. Let’s just say that if you didn’t let your mom or some coyotes ruin a first date, you’re doing better than the people below.

And do we still need to remind people that it’s rude to stare at your phone while you’re getting to know someone?

Take a look at some of the worst first date stories we’ve ever head.

1. Full of regrets

Was this date pre-Uber? Because we don’t think we’d want to get in a car with this guy after reading his accidental text. The least he could do was apologize.

Maybe just stay off your phone altogether when you’re on a first date.

2. A family affair

It should go without saying that you should not bring your parents on a first date. Ever.

Frankly, this guy’s mother shouldn’t be allowed to leave the house at all. Where are her manners?!

3. Valentine’s vomit

Well, that’s awkward. Some things can’t be helped and you can’t always keep your body from betraying you, but this sounds horrific.

We can’t even picture this scene without cringing.

4. Phone fanatic

If you’re going to spend significant amounts of time on your phone, you’re not mature enough to date. Real-life is in front of you, not behind a screen.

This would be unacceptably rude even at a cheap restaurant.

Do you think she’s still sitting there?

5. Nope

We imagine this was the shortest “date” in history.

6. Epic fail

Sometimes egos are so easily wounded that people just can’t deal when others watch them fail.

This guy could have easily laughed it off, but he chose the nuclear option instead.

People like this should have some sort of mark on their permanent dating record.

7. Creeps and coyotes

It’s pretty creepy to offer to take someone out for dinner and then change your mind at the last minute and ask them to spend a significant amount of time in your home instead. No one wants to sit in a relative stranger’s house.

Following that up with a walk in the dark and some coyotes is the perfect way to end a relationship before it even begins.

8. Here, smell this

Never ask your date to smell anything. Ever.

Heck, even if you’re married you can just smell your own rotten food.

9. That’s not a thing

Talk about unwelcome advances!

We’ve never heard of a “puppy trumpet” but it sounds horrible and we can only hope he felt embarrassed for himself when his date was less than impressed.

10. Double dating

This waiter is a hero.

Multitasking is great and all, but not when it comes to dating.
