Most Embarrassing thing you've done / said on a first date?

[Greg222]

I once went on a date with a girl at work I hardly knew, after picking her up on our way to a restaurant I smashed into the back of a car at a roundabout,,,, she was really shaken up, we were late for our table and she didn't eat a thing all night,,, it was a disaster!!

I took my 'new' girlfriend out for dinner, sitting a few tables away from us was my ex girlfriend and her mates, problem was I hadnt actually told the ex that she was....an ex, I think she got the message then but was very embarassing listening to the colourful comments flying around and convincing the new girl that I only treat women with the highest respect

When I was 16 my boyfriend  took me to a JLyons cafe in Brighton where I ordered fish'n'chips(what else) The waitress brought my fish and a separate plate of chips.  I immediately put them all onto my plate and dug in (I was not used to chips).  Then the waitress brought my boyfriend's plate which was a lonely pie.  I had eaten most of the chips and he poor soul didn't have any.  I was so embarrassed when I realised what I had done - broke up with him the next day, and he was such a cutie!!!

When I was about 18 went on a first date & we were romantically strolling through town hand in hand on the way to a nice quite pub. Unfortunatley I was wearing jeans that I had worn the night before (They were clean!) and I didnt realise I had left yesterdays boxer shorts in them. As we were chatting & walking along they flew out of the bottom of my trouser leg and landed about 2 metres in front of us. I died with embarrassment! We cried laughing all night and I am now married to her.

My " friend " and I stress that point. Took his new gf down to the river bank with a picnic and bottle of wine, he also took a picnic blanket which when he got there threw down onto the ground and stuck to one corner was an old condom he had used on a previos romantic encounter. gross I know!

I went to a (now ex-) boyfriend's house for dinner, in a kind of "meet the parents" set-up. Unfortunately, his mum was the worst cook in the universe, and had over-cooked some pork chops for the occasion. I couldn't cut through mine, and became really aware of her watching me sawing away at the old bit of leather masquerading as a succulent chop. I tried to subtely tear the meat apart using my knife and fork, only for it to suddenly rip unexpectedly and the pile of overcooked peas balanced precariously on the endge of my plate shot all over her table.

soozmac, I had a very similar experience, except in a restaurant with steak instead of a pork chop. I cut through the steak, my knife slipped and my peas went flying across the room landing in people's laps, hitting them in the side of the face, etc, but worst of all, some landed in a poor guy's pudding just as he was about to spoon some into his mouth!

When I was a young punk in the 70s/80s, I was once at a music festival and was wearing really tight black trousers. The guy I was with picked me up and threw me on the bouncy castle. My trousers ripped from top to bottom all the way down the outside of my left leg and I had to pull all the badges off my jacket (and blag some from other people) to pin them back together again for the rest of the day.

ICEMANSAV that's horrific!

my worst-thing-that's-ever-happened-on-a-date story: i'd been seeing antonio for a few weeks, and one evening i unexpectedly met his mother (she wasn't supposed to be home, i walked past her on the stairs) and she instantly bombarded me with a torrent of questions: "hello carly, i'm gabriella. i've heard so much about you! it's so nice to meet you at last. how's art college going?" etc etc

my name's not carly... i don't go to art college... antonio had a LOT of explaining to do.

I went to the girl's house to pick her up, sat down in the front room for a cup of tea with her mother, and the zip on my trousers burst open!

the most embarassing thing that happened to me was when i was but a girl in my salad days, I was taken home to meet this youths mum .to my horror she had  NO NOSE , I didnt know where to look and felt that the least he could have done was fore warn me, someting in the way of " by the way mums got no nose"  about her disfiguement. then perhaps i could have prepared myself . I like to think that even at 16 I acted with decorum and my face didnt register the suprise "nay" shock that i felt.
