Anyone said anything really daft on a first date?

The nerves have kicked in and you're not thinking straight!

You've forgotten their name or even your own!

Or maybe You've done something daft?

C'mon tell us..let's have a laugh

Or are you a cool cucumber?

Not fazed and a smooth operator

I usually clam up. I gather I look contemplative rather than freaking out

As the clumsiest person in the world I have done many embarrassing things on dates or meets or with friends or by myself out in public

I had a meet in Berlin with a man so beautiful that I was a gibbering wreck around him.

To cut a long story short within 5 mins an elaborate hand gesture of mine knocked his beer all over him

It was OK though as we were naked within the hour

I’m appalling.. I send myself into a panic and go crazy hot. Then I ramble about anything and everything at speed. Luckily I have short term memory issues so it’s all a bit of a blur! My favourite from here was when I met a lovely guy for a drink and he walked in and fell over a bar stool. Was quite an opener

I said to a woman who was eating an apple that she must have excellent bowels.

I forgot her name and lost the power of coherent speech for about 2 or 3 minutes. Like the link between my brain and mouth was cut.

No idea why, she found it hilarious, I've never been so embarrassed.

With what tends to happen in our meets, we have to remain calm and focused otherwise mistakes may be made.

As such, we tend to be more relaxed/comfortable instead of nervous.

I knocked all my cutlery off the table on my first date with one partner. On my first date with my other he knocked my entire drink over with his butt when getting up to go the loo and it soaked his phone. I was kinda glad he got in there first as I'm a walking disaster

I remember being so overawed by someone I could barely speak.

I was tripping over my words so much I apologised and explained.

He found it funny and said perhaps we should go straight up to his room, where I wouldn't need to speak.

Not really a date story BUT a really attractive woman asked me for a drink once whilst I was at work. I am pretty sure I said yes but as I said yes, I decided to sit down.

For some reason, on that day, at that time and in that actual moment the chair I went to sit on completely gave way and I went down like a sack of potatos. She never visited me again at work and I don’t think I ever went as red as a traffic light before or since!

My last date I went on was a double date. I went to pick up my date and her friend to meet her date at a pub somewhere. On the way to the pub, my date's friend showed me a pic of her date's cock. It look like a massive flagpole to be fair lol during the date.. we all got talking then the convo dried out so to get us talking again.. I blurt out to the guy if he knew any good surgeons as her inside are gonna get jumbled up that night (pointing to his date) only trouble is.. I said it loud enough for the surrounding tables to hear and there was a moment of utter silence by everyone

I dated the wrong person for 10 minutes once. I matched with someone on a left/right swipe app and their profile photos weren’t great. Side shots or not focused group photos. However we go chatting and decided to meet for a drink. So I walk into the bar and there was this woman sitting at the bar and I assumed it was my date. So I go over ask say “hi. Wow you look absolutely phenomenal, can I buy you a drink?” She says yes. Which doesn’t surprise me as I’m expecting her to say yes as we already arranged this over text. Now we chat and laugh and I’m thinking wow what a catch. I then ask her about something on her dating profile. She says “I don’t have a dating profile”. I laugh thinking she’s quick witted, take my phone and say “except this one”. That’s not me, she states. Then moments after my real date arrived. Made my apologies to the one at the bar. Who laughed and understood.

The real date was boring and to this day I wonder whatever happened to the one at the bar.

I never really suffer from 1st date nerves but as for names...

I was in my early 20's and walking through a local shopping mall when I was approached by a very sexy girl selling charity scratch cards, I can't overstate just how stunning she was and that plus her overly exuberant character put me in a bit of a daze.

I keept my cool but as I fished out a £ coin she to my surprise called me by my name and said how it had been ages since she last saw me, feeling awkward because I couldn't recognise her I went along with it but after a minuet or two of embarrassingly pretending like I remembered her I made my excuses to her and walked on very confused...

A few weeks later I was in my parents antique shop looking out the window and saw this girl looking in from outside, when she saw me she came right in and the charade began once again.

It turned out she lived right next door to the shop in a rented flat and asked me if I'd like to take her out sometime, she was so awesomely gorgeous how could I refuse.

The only clue I had to her identity was that she must have known me from school due to her asking if I'd seen one or two friends I had from there, the time where I should've told her I couldn't place her face had gone in the shopping mall weeks earlier

She was a couple of years younger than me and all I can guess is that in the 6yrs since me leaving school she went from an ugly duckling to a beautiful Swan.

For over 3 months I took this girl out and slept with her numerous times, I got away with calling her pet names but to this day I've no idea who the bloody hell she was...

I once fell over on a first date. One minute we’re walking along, the next minute I’m down like a sack of spuds. The look of shock on his face still gives me the giggles to this day, but at the time it was very embarrassing.

Don’t think I’ve ever said anything embarrassing. Not yet anyway.

I think I’ve blanked out the worst ones but I remember a double date where my friend and his girlfriend brought a gorgeous friend of hers to the pub where we used to meet up and play pool.

Was trying to play it very cool while taking a shot but managed to knock two pints over another couple with my pool cue, with the man going nuts and a quick retreat from pub followed.

This was in the countryside with no other pubs nearby so the ‘date’ ended after about twenty minutes and never saw her again.

I fainted once on a first date. We had gone out and we were kissing in a quiet street. Next time my vision gets all weird and I wake up on the floor. Never saw him again

I also fainted in a restaurant years later in my pudding on a date with my husband. We were already married though so he's used to my weird ways!!

I don’t suffer 1st date nerves and I’m quite confident so it’s usually me who holds the first few minutes together! After that and a drink in hand it’s plain sailing (assuming chemistry is there) hopefully the conversation flows..

Under the Duvet

Oh I've just remembered one from years ago. First date with a guy I reaaally fancied.

We were walking along by the river in Richmond, I jumped up onto a low wall to impress him (!) but then fell off over the other side!

It was about an 8 foot drop so could have hurt more than my pride, but luckily there was a shed under the bit of wall I was walking along so I landed on the roof of that.

I can still remember his horrified face looking over the wall and him having to pull me back up

The shame!

I'm laughing now but I wasn't at the time

I'm pretty chill on dates as long as I've had my pre-date wee!

I was on a date with one guy in a pub and he broke his chair, I felt so bad for him. I hopped up and scooped up another chair and replaced it and moved the conversation on. The awkwardness soon faded.

I feel ackward and shy at a meet id rather do something thats fun to do as a couples game.

Something that gets you both talking and having a laugh together.

Nothing worse than to have a meal or a drink and have nothing to start a convo off with them.

Im also the same at events as well

I will start off on my own viewing everyone, Then I will go around them.

Some are really decent and will chat with you others ignore you.

Best chat points have been at the smokers corner, Kinda surprising how many will chat there but hardly anywhere else.

a quandary, could you change my mind?

My last date was too long ago.

I do remember getting more than a little tongue tied, started saying what was in my head getting half way through the word and thinking "omg how do you pronounce that" trying the word again and oops same thing.

Very embarrassed.

Yes for me to. I like to go for a drink and a game of pool. It's fun, breaks the ice and I can bend seductively over the pool table whilst showing off at how good I am with a cue in my hand

Smokers corner was always a good place to strike up a convo

Not in any traditional sense of the word. A friend introduced us and would bring her to gigs I was playing... we went from that to meeting regularly for sex, then before we knew it we were in love & getting married.

I've never arranged to meet a lass for a date.
