Dating fails - universal experience?
Although experiences vary from person to person, dating fails seem to be a universal phenomenon. Almost everyone has experienced an unpleasant or even traumatic date.

Why is that?
It may be due to the high expectations and pressures of dating life these days. Thanks to social media and dating apps, it seems as if there are countless potential partners out there - and the next option is quickly considered if a date doesn't meet our expectations.

We often forget that behind every profile is a real person with their own quirks and shortcomings.

So maybe it's not so bad if a date doesn't go perfectly. After all, we can learn from these experiences and benefit for the future.

How do you remember your first awkward date? Was it a blind date or did you already know the person? We look forward to your impressions! By taking part, you will help other readers who don't feel alone with their experiences. And who knows, you might even find your "dating nemesis" or your happy ending among the comments!
