Dating Nightmares: First Dates From Hell

Dating Nightmares: First Dates From Hell

In this wild episode, we share the unforgettable story of a disastrous elevator incident that turns hilariously messy, delve into dating horror stories like discovering a date is married, and a Tinder match nearly goes off a cliff (literally). From ex-girlfriend party ambushes to duffel-bagged sleepover assumptions, and the epic Taco Bell 100-taco fiasco—these are dating fails you won’t believe. We’ll laugh, cringe, and give you the lowdown on the absurd lengths people go to in the name of love (or just plain chaos). We then end the episode with some dating advice about being the other woman and men with female best friends, you don't wanna miss it!
