There\u2019s something thrilling about a first date \u2014 the promise of new connection, the hope that maybe this time things will click. But let\u2019s be honest: first dates can also be gloriously unpredictable in all the wrong ways. You\u2019re meeting someone for the first time, squinting at their photo, wondering if they\u2019re as funny in person, hoping the conversation flows and none of the red flags jump out at you. Yet somehow nature, dentures, wardrobe choices, metaphysics or sheer bad luck sometimes intervene and ruin the magic. The result: tales you\u2019ll tell your friends and laugh about later (once you\u2019ve safely recovered). The Guardian collected a series of such disasters and, yes, they\u2019re as wild as you hope and fear. The Guardian<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>

  1. The bird-kiss disaster<\/strong>
    One dater reports: everything was going well, they hit the sweet spot of post-dinner chatting, then during a long goodbye kiss\u2026 a bird flew into a wall above them and dropped dead right in front of their faces. The date ended right then.\u00a0\u00a0
    Lesson<\/em>: If wildlife literally dies around you mid-smooch, maybe the universe is sending a signal.<\/p><\/li>

  2. The \u201cpartial denture in spaghetti\u201d moment<\/strong>
    Another had dinner, good vibes, until the man\u2019s partial denture launched out of his mouth and landed in her spaghetti. He calmly retrieved it, popped it back in, and kept talking like nothing happened.\u00a0\u00a0
    Lesson<\/em>: There\u2019s \u201cawkward moment\u201d and then there\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m eating pasta with someone\u2019s false teeth in it\u201d level.<\/p><\/li>

  3. The crash-worthy bike date<\/strong>
    The idea: a cute bike ride for a first date. Reality: the date ended with the man\u2019s legs and midsection run-over by a truck. Yep. Romantic two-wheel ride turned into hospital visits.\u00a0
    Lesson<\/em>: Maybe skip adrenaline-ridden \u2018fun\u2019 on a first outing until you\u2019re more comfortable with each other.<\/p><\/li>

  4. The \u201chike for someone on crutches\u201d setup<\/strong>
    She\u2019d mentioned she was on crutches. He still planned a \u201cshort hike\u201d. She slipped, fell, felt humiliated, and he spent the rest of the date berating her for being \u201cless sporty\u201d than her profile suggested.\u00a0\u00a0
    Lesson<\/em>: When mobility limitations meet ambitious outdoor activities without adjustment, expect disaster.<\/p><\/li>

  5. The boxer-shorts arrival<\/strong>
    Dinner plan: casual but presentable. Actual arrival: he showed up wearing his white boxer-shorts as outer-wear (yes, no pants) and a T-shirt. His explanation involved motorcycles and drumming and\u2026 something about forgetting pants.\u00a0\u00a0
    Lesson<\/em>: If your date treats outerwear like it\u2019s just an optional accessory, it\u2019s a red flag (or at least a warning sign).<\/p><\/li><\/ol>
