WORST DATES EVER

Business as usual, then

He asked me to watch his laptop while he went to the bathroom. I did, but turned away for a split-second and… yep, it got stolen. I awkwardly stayed with him while he called the police. MEGAN, 22

I thought he was joking about his foot fetish... until he showed me his Pornhub search history. He then told me to “start looking after my feet better”. EMMA, 20

He was an hour and a half late, so I left. Only as I did, he arrived and followed me, shouting that he was in love with me. Later, he blocked me on Instagram. Fantastic. ISADORA, 19

Before our drinks had even arrived, my date said he condoned cheating, “especially after a couple have had a baby and aren’t having much sex”. He then asked if I had any “controversial” views – how did I feel about smacking naughty children, for instance? RIA, 24

On our second date, while we were waiting for our mains, he blurted out, “I want you to give us a chance. Be all in and move in with me.” JANINE, 39

When I came back from the toilet – in a very fancy restaurant – my date was playing R’n’B loudly from his phone. Apparently, he “wanted to listen to something decent”. CHARLIE,* 22

For our first date, I met him straight from work and he wore a suit. However, when we arranged a Sunday cinema trip, he arrived in a floor-length tiger-print coat, flat cap and glasses (without lenses), swinging a skull-handled cane around. MEGAN, 25

When I said I was hungry, he squeezed my stomach and said how greedy I was in a weird baby voice. STACY,* 20
