love

He turned up to

a fancy restaurant

wearing a tracksuit.

Then as soon as the

food arrived, he said

he had to leave, for

no reason, and

dashed out the door.

NIRAN, 21

After arriving 20

minutes late, he

“accidentally” left

his wallet in the car,

before taking me

to an expensive bar

where he ordered the

entire menu. I footed

the bill myself and he

promised he’d return

the favour. I never

heard from

him again.

ELLEN, 27

On our first date,

two people he knew

came over. Thinking

they must be friends

of his, I shook their

hands to be polite.

Then I spotted a £20

note on the floor. He

was dealing drugs

under the pub table.

MONTANA, 28

He took his shoes off

in the cinema and

put his feet on the

chair in front. They

absolutely stank.

ABI, 21

Our “cinema” date

turned out to be us

watching a film on his

laptop in his broken

Honda. He then tried

to charge me £11.80

for the “ticket”.

PRINCE, 21

Upon hearing Trump

discuss immigration

on the restaurant’s

TV, my date said,

“Good. They

shouldn’t be here

if they’re not here

legally.” He then

spent 15 minutes

slating Obama.

SANDRA, 22

I took a tumble in

a skirt, ending up on

the floor with my bum

in the air, while my

date fell into me. It

was basically doggy

style with the whole

restaurant watching.

A well-known darts

player took me to a

casino where I had

to watch him sign

autographs all night.

He also said, “Who

wants a stunning

girlfriend that

everyone’s looking

at? You’re OK,

aren’t you?”
