Women reveal their biggest first date disasters

First dates can be frightening enough to make anyone nervous but these hapless romantics really take the biscuit.

From being asked how easily they conceived to watching their dates lick the plate clean at the end of the meal, women have revealed the most embarrassing things that have ever happened to them on a first date.

These unlucky ladies shared their often hilarious stories on Reddit.

Shocked poster babblueyed5 said: "I had a guy lick the plate at the end of dinner. It wasn't a silly joke, it wasn't to show off his skills.

"It was a plate of tikka masala with perfectly good naan just sitting next to it, and he picked the whole thing up and licked it clean while I sat in absolute astonishment."

"Then he asked to come back to my place like nothing out of the ordinary happened. He was in his early 30s. Sigh."

Astounded dater coffeeshake wrote: "I had a guy who asked how easily I conceived and if I could still have children on the first date. I'm 32 and have a daughter from my first marriage."

Reddit xisha47x said: "He told me that he belongs to a swingers sex club that met once a month. He even showed me his membership card."

Many awkward first date moments revolved around lengthy discussions of former flames.

Poster clean__underwear said: "He was talking about his divorce. Talking about his divorce for literally 20-30 minutes without asking me a thing about myself, or even trying to fake a bit of 'but enough about that, tell me about yourself' interest."

Lilpin13 added: "I had a date where I had to console a guy about his separation/divorce for nearly two hours.

"He started crying like a broken man and I couldn't find it in me to abandon him there. Poor guy."

SantagetoutClause wrote: "I went on a date a few weeks ago and he gave me a ride home, but took me on a detour to show me his exes house.

"Pleased to say that was the only date he got from me."

Other embarrassing episodes took place when their daters shared a little bit too much of themselves.

Zazilium said: "I had a girl once tell me on the first date that she was allergic to latex so we couldn't use regular rubbers."

12thStreetAndVine said: "Had a guy ask if I was on birth control. A bit presumptuous."

Jazmalinda added: "Ask if he can call me his girlfriend before we've even met, when exchanging pics send one of him with a bloody head injury, after a terrible first date present me with a necklace engraved with lyrics from some emo metal band about how I'll be his until death."
