He arrived an hour late, drunk after a football match, and his card got declined so I paid for our drinks. Then he fell asleep in the cinema so I took him to McDonald’s to sober up, put him in a taxi and called his mum from his phone to make sure he got home OK. ERIN, 20 Three dates in, he asked me if he was “stirring the porridge”. I looked it up on Urban Dictionary – he was trying to find out if I was having sex with anyone else. Gross. HOLLY,* 30 After snogging in the cinema, he took out his phone and talked me through his adding of every single girl in his “recommende­d friends” on Facebook. He clicked on one profile and said, “Damn, she’s so hot.” I asked if he knew her, to which he replied, “Not yet, but I’ll get to…” NATALIA, 21 An hour into our date, he looked into my eyes and said, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to show you.” He pulled out a twoweek-old urine sample from his pocket and waved it in my face. FREDDIE, 23 At the farthest-away cinema he could find, a girl saw us and shouted, “You’re disgusting!” Then a message popped up on his phone from “Bae”. GEORGINA,* 23 He wouldn’t stop asking me to have sex with him on our first date – so I said I was a virgin and waiting for marriage (a lie). He went quiet and asked if it was because of my religion (I said yes – another lie), then told me about another date who he’d “smashed” (had sex with). We were in an Emirates Air Line cable car so I couldn’t leave. FARA, 21 A guy from Tinder spent the whole date criticisin­g my holiday destinatio­n choices and discussing his controvers­ial political views, then told me off for weightlift­ing because “women look silly when they’re muscly”. I downed my pint while he was in the loo and left. ROSIE, 27 He said we were going on a romantic walk… We walked for two minutes, straight to his bedroom in university accommodat­ion. RUBY, 21
