First dates are stressful, no doubt. But did you know they could also be deadly? No, I’m not talking about the existential dread of small talk or that pit in your stomach when you realize you’ve been talking about your cat for 30 minutes straight. I’m talking about actual, life-ending disasters that can arise from those innocent blunders. Let’s explore eight ways you could literally kill your first date.
LEARN A “SECRET LANGUAGE” THAT MAKES ANY WOMAN FEEL AN UNCONTROLLABLE OBSESSION FOR YOU.
1. Choking on Your Clever Banter
You’re mid-sentence, delivering what you think is the most charming, witty remark ever, when your sip of wine decides it’s not going down without a fight. Cue the coughing fit that turns into full-on asphyxiation. Your date attempts the Heimlich, but who knew they had the upper-body strength of a toddler? One last attempt at charm — and then lights out. You were so close to finishing that anecdote.
2. Choosing a Spicy Restaurant Without a Will
Nothing says “I’m cultured” like suggesting an exotic, spicy restaurant for a first date. But one wrong bite of ghost pepper-infused curry, and suddenly you’re experiencing a mouth full of molten lava. Your date looks on, horrified, as your face turns fifty shades of red. Then purple. Then — whoops, looks like you’ve melted from the inside. Next time, just go for the pizza.
3. Biking Together — A Death Sentence on Two Wheels
You suggest a cute, romantic bike ride through the park. Adorable, right? Until you remember you haven’t touched a bike since you were twelve. The date starts fine, but ten minutes in, you’re wobbling like a toddler on a tricycle. You veer into oncoming traffic, manage to dodge a semi-truck, but tragically meet your end in the parking lot, crashing into a latte-wielding pedestrian who happens to be your date’s ex.
4. Attempting a Smooth Pickup Line (From a Moving Car)
You decide to “surprise” your date by picking them up in style — a convertible, top-down, music blasting. Except in your attempt to be extra smooth, you forget to park. Trying to lean in for that first greeting while your foot’s still on the gas? Not a good combo. One wrong move, and boom — you’ve crashed into their house. You’re technically dead now, but hey, at least they’ll never forget you.
5. Getting Lost in the Woods
“Let’s go hiking!” you suggest, envisioning a scenic stroll through nature that ends in a picturesque sunset. What you don’t envision is getting hopelessly lost because you thought “real adventurers don’t need maps.” Hours later, both of you are wandering aimlessly, using fallen twigs to spell out “HELP.” Eventually, exhaustion takes over, and you’re found months later — by an entirely different couple on their first date. Circle of life, right?
6. Accidentally Ordering Blowfish Sushi
You’re at the swankiest sushi restaurant in town, and you want to impress your date with your worldly palate. “Let’s try the fugu!” you exclaim. Little do you know that one wrong cut from the chef could mean instant death, thanks to its fun paralytic toxins. Minutes after consumption, your date watches in horror as your face freezes mid-smile. Looks like this date’s over. Permanently.
7. Skydiving as a “Fun First Date”
Ah yes, the thrill-seeker’s first date idea: skydiving. What could be more exhilarating? You’re about to make the perfect leap from the plane, when — oops — your parachute fails to deploy. You plummet gracefully to your doom, while your date watches from above, thinking, “I probably should have just suggested coffee.” Your legacy: dying with style. Sort of.
8. Misunderstanding “Escape Room” Instructions
You and your date head to an escape room, a perfect setting to show off your problem-solving skills. But when you misinterpret the “this is not real” sign, things take a dark turn. You freak out, believing you’re trapped forever, and begin frantically searching for any means of escape. In your panic, you manage to somehow trap yourself in an air vent that leads…nowhere. Your final words? “I thought this was supposed to be fun.”
Final Thoughts If you’re still alive after reading this, congratulations — you’ve just survived the potential horrors of a first date, unlike the poor souls who fell victim to their own cluelessness. But next time you’re planning a first date, maybe stick to coffee. It’s much harder to die over a cappuccino. Probably.
