Our Dating Horror Stories


Listen Later

Dating can sometimes be thrilling. And other times absolutely unhinged. Our wildest dating horror stories may make you laugh, cringe, and rethink your safety plan for your next first meet. 

We start with a hilarious “not-a-date” blind date to a Hamptons rave that brings hostage vibes to mind, before moving on to an OKCupid date featuring age lies, drunk negging, and leering tag-a-long friends.  We end with a multi-week dating experience where tiny icks—heavy footsteps, salad slurping, and "almost" empty condiments—foreshadow a hard boundary breach around hygiene and kink consent. Each story is ridiculous, but each also reveals a principle worth keeping: believe what people show you, exit fast when a boundary is crossed, and never apologize for protecting your peace.

We don’t just vent; we translate chaos into practice. Keep first meets short and public. Don’t debate the red flag that shows up on minute ten. Listen, laugh with us, then add your voice—we want your worst-date stories and your dating dealbreakers. If you smiled, winced, or took a note, please follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so other listeners can find us. Your stories might save someone’s night (or make it!).
