COSMOPOLITAN· 119Hey, we’ve all been there. So a problem shared is a problem halved... right?
WORST DATES EVER
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?

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, 19When I said I was hungry, he
squeezed my stomach and said how
greedy I was in a weird baby voice.
STACY,* 20I 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”.

@CosmopolitanUK using #CosmoWorstDatesOn 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, 39When 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
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, 22For 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.
