Singles dream of dating feeling like a hilariously wholesome sitcom, but it can also be a cringeworthy reality show with episodes titled “Mommy’s Boy at the Restaurant” and “The Awkward Movie Night.”

Recently, a person who goes by the nickname Nocta on X asked other platform users to describe the worst dates they’ve been on, and their post immediately went viral.

As of now, it has been viewed over 22.3 million times, with thousands of people contributing their experiences to the discussion, so we decided to scour the thread and show you the most memorable ones.
