The story has gone viral

| Updated:

For anyone who’s ever been on Tinder, you’ll be familiar with bad dates. But this woman may have everyone else beat when it comes to the cringe-y quest for love.

One Twitter user shared a horrifying first date story from a friend, who was forced to attend a funeral…

The woman, who goes by Trash Panda on the social media website, tweeted: “When my mate asked if she’d told me about her worst first date I didn’t anticipate this…”

She then shared a series of screen grabs from Whatsapp, showing a conversation with a friend saved as “Bridget Jones.”

Bridget wrote that the prospective suitor had told her to “wear a black dress” so he could “surprise” her.

She initially thought it was romantic, and things went well after he picked her up by car.

But then he pulled into a crematorium, and she started to worry, writing: “[He] pulls in and I’m like, ‘Are you out of fuel?”

Her friend replies: “No way no way no way,” as Bridget continues: “He goes, ‘Nah, just really needed someone to come to this thing with me.”

She then confirms: “It’s his nan’s funeral,” adding: “People are sobbing and I’m like, ‘I can’t leave.'”

Trash Panda is shocked, saying: “YOU STAYED???” as Bridget says: “Imagine calling an Uber to a funeral home.”

She ended the story by explaining: “Turns out his girlfriend had left him a few weeks earlier and everyone had been looking forward to meeting her so he looked for someone to fill the spot.”
