30 Of The Worst Dates Ever, As Per Servers Who Witnessed Them

When you go on a date at a fancy restaurant, cozy cafe, or, heck,
even your local fast food joint, you can easily forget that there’s
always someone around in the background—your server. Now, odds are
that most people working in the food service industry don’t
eavesdrop on purpose. However, when a date goes frightfully wrong,
they can’t help but notice what’s going on at one of their
tables.

We’re featuring some of the stories about the most awkward and
weird date fails, as witnessed by servers and shared on these two
r/AskReddit threads here and here. Scroll down for some of the most
cringe, dramatic, and weird romantic encounters that waiters
couldn’t look away from even if they wanted to.

However, one note of friendly advice for you, Pandas: the stories
here might give you some a case of some serious secondhand
embarrassment.

Bored Panda was interested to learn more about dating, whether
restaurant dates are a good idea, and what to do if you see that
you’re not clicking with someone, so we reached out to certified
relationship and self-love coach Alex Scot. Scroll down for our
full interview with her, Pandas.

Relationship coach Alex opened up to Bored Panda that she
personally isn’t a fan of “the stereotypical coffee or restaurant
date” because many people feel a lot of pressure “to keep the
conversation going with fewer things around to remark about.” In
short, going to a cafe or restaurant might not be ideal for a first
date.

“If you’re the extroverted type, these kinds of dates are easier
for you to show up and be you, but for introverts or anyone who has
social anxiety, this can be a triggering environment. I personally
feel it's a smarter move to go on some kind of activity date,” she
said.
