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.”

Another joked: “And they say romance is dead. 😁 Sorry, couldn’t resist.”
One more added simply: “Oh my actual god,” while a fifth suggested: “Someone quick! Make a movie out of this!!”
Others shared their own bad dates stories, with one writing: “God, and I thought my first date was bad. Went to a school dance, gaggle of friends tried dragging me to dance and I opted to collapse to the ground instead.”
