A woman has experienced possibly the most awkward first date ever after the guy she was meeting insisted on taking her to a “surprise” location.
When a woman was told the location of her first date with a guy she met was going to be a surprise she thought it sounded romantic but the day took a very awkward turn.
Twitter user @itssraychposted screenshots from a conversation she had with her friend about her worst date ever and it is so uncomfortable that it’s hard to even read.
“When my mate asked if she’d told me about her worst first date I didn’t anticipate this,” she captioned the photos.
The conversation was fittingly named “Bridget Jones” and the friend starts out by saying how her date told her to wear a black dress and the rest of the day would be a surprise, which she thought sounded romantic.
“(We’re) chatting in his car and it’s going well, until we turn. And I’m like this is a weird place,” the message read.
“Then I see the sign. Oh god the sign, saying ‘Crematorium’.”
At this point, the woman was still hopeful that it was just a misunderstanding and politely asked her date if he had taken a wrong turn.
But it soon becomes devastatingly clear what this guy’s idea of a surprise is.
They pull into the parking lot and her date tells her that he just “really needed someone to come to this thing with me”.
“This thing” turned out to be his nan’s funeral.
He explains that he thought if he told her they would be attending a funeral she wouldn’t come.
To be fair, he was probably right.
Not knowing how to get out of the situation, the woman proceeded to stay for the service.
“People are sobbing and I’m like I can’t leave I’d be a massive b***h,” the woman said.
“Imagine calling an Uber to a funeral home.”
After awkwardly introducing her to his mourning family, her date proceeded to hold her hand while sobbing throughout the service.
And to top the whole cringeworthy experience off she later found out that his girlfriend had just left him and he just needed someone to fill the spot for the day.
Ouch.
