I’ll start!
My worst date ever started by finding out the man I was meeting was WAY shorter than me, which would be fine if he hadn’t lied about his height. So we sit down outside an icecream shop on a VERY hot day and I’m sweating off my makeup and this guy just WILL NOT let me talk, so it’s going pretty shit.
A homeless man with a guitar approaches us. He says we’re a cute couples and asks if he can sing us a song. My date says yes despite me silently begging him not to because I DO NOT have change to pay this guy if he asks. The man proceeded to play a 4min love song at us while we smile and nod along without saying a single word. I’m dying inside.
We say thank you, great song! The man begins another one. My date encourages it. We sit there silently for another two songs and by the time they end the poor guy starts BAWLING, like sobbing and hyperventilating. I get up so he can sit down because he legit looks like he’s in pain, and he proceeds to look at my date (who’s still seated) and tell him how his life derailed after his wife passed away and how she loved that song. I honestly felt really bad for him. My date started asking him more questions about his life (i think he forgot about me?) so I went to buy guitar dude icecream. When I came back I went ahead and told my date I needed to go home so I could work on my thesis.
So uh. Honestly thank you mr guitar man for stealing Gus from tinder away. Hope you guys had fun after I left 😭
