I have a confession.
I love hearing about bad dates. Come on, I know you do too.
Yes, going on a bad date in the moment is annoying and emotionally draining. You've carved out time in your schedule to get ready and meet a person who you will never want to see again and then you're most likely to do it all over again with someone else.
I've had my fair share of horrible dates.

One in particular that still haunts me is when I went on a dinner date with a guy in my early 20s.
We went to a small Italian restaurant, where the tables were so close you were basically touching shoulders with the other patrons sitting on either side of you.
The guy I was with was so rude to the server to the point where everyone else in the restaurant was starring at us and definitely talking about the situation on their tables. This guy provided them with a great source of entertainment.
I felt so bad that before we finished our meal, I went over to her and paid for the full meal and gave her a 30 per cent tip (I know, I'm an angel). I was mortified by his behaviour. To top it off, halfway through our meal, he interrupted me to ask if I wanted to play truth or dare. Before I could answer, he said "Do you dare me to eat a spoon full of this chili oil?" To which I replied, "no". He ignored me, ate the chili oil and then asked "Do you dare me to ask the waitress for a glass of milk?"
