Below are some stories of unexpected dating mishaps, make sure you check them out.

1. Thank God It’s Over

This first date ended wrong because the person a Redditor decided to go out with was so entitled, he made the night all about himself. He spent the first hour complaining about every aspect of his life, without giving the woman any chance to say anything about herself.

He went to the extreme to order food for her without even consulting her choices and then spilled the juice all over himself but blamed the staff while asserting the superiority of his home country.

As the evening proceeded, he expressed his desire to become a manager and fire everyone he would see as incompetent.

When they finally asked for the check, she suggested splitting it, but he started yelling at her. In order to avoid making a scene, she let him pay for it and then let him walk her home. Once at her door, she said goodbye but he tried to force himself on her. She pushed him and then threw the money for her part of the bill at him and told him to leave.

Thank God she hadn’t heard from him again.

2. Making the Exit

This Redditor went on a date with someone who insisted on dining at one of the fanciest and most expensive restaurants. However, she spent the entire night using her phone, taking phone calls and answering messages. She wasn’t really interested in engaging in any meaningful conversation because she was apparently too busy.

The waitress noticed how awkward this situation was so she discretely offered separate bills which allowed the OP to settle his bill before leaving the place.

3. A Kiss for Two

A man in the Air Force, 18 at the time, was on a date set up by his roommate. It was a double date, and they decided to watch a movie. However, everyone was stunned when this man’s date brought up a giant stuffed rabbit named Pebbles with her. After the movie, they had some ice cream and drove to his date’s cousin’s home. Before entering the place, the date asked from the man to kiss not only her but her stuffed rabbit as well to avoid any jealousy.

No matter how crazy that sounded, he did kiss both.

4. Calling It Quits

A man went on a blind date and was baffled to see his date arriving at the theater with her parents and her nine-year-old brother who joined them for the movie. As they started watching the film, her brother kept kicking the man’s seat.

He could no longer endure the situation so he excused himself to the restroom but left the place instead. And yes, he added that his date looked nothing like her online photos.

5. A Baffling Request

A woman shared the story of a truly awkward first date that took place at the London Zoo. She said she was surprised when her date asked her to pay for her ticket. She agreed and then he pulled out a two-for-one voucher, which allowed him to enter for free while she did pay for her ticket. What a baffling move!

6. A Major Turn Off

While having dinner with a man, a woman noticed his wedding ring accidentally slip out of his pocket when he reached for his wallet. Disgusted by the situation, she immediately threw some cash on the table and decided to walk home. It was a rare occasion where circumstances were too repulsive for her to have an appetite.

During a first date, a woman noticed her date’s wedding ring accidentally slipping out from his pocket while he was reaching for his wallet. She immediately took some money and threw it on the table before fleeing the restaurant without saying a word.

A man was left in shock when his date told him that she was engaged but wanted to go on a couple more dates just to be sure that her chosen one was the right person for her. As expected, he asked for the check and left.

Prince William wanted his brother and Meghan to marry in ‘small village church’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding resembled a fairytale.

From the moment the world learned the two were dating, everyone was eager to see how things between them would unveil, and not long after, Prince Harry popped the question during a quiet night at home while Meghan was roasting a chicken.

Recalling that special moment, the former Suits star said, “It was just so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee. As a matter of fact, I could barely let [him] finish proposing. I was like, ‘Can I say yes now?’”

The beautiful ceremony of tying the knot between Harry and Meghan took place on on May 19, 2018. Among the guests were a lot of celebrities such as George Clooney, David and Victoria Beckham, Serena Williams, James Corden, and Oprah Winfrey. Meghan wore a wedding dress designed by Givenchy’s then-creative director, Clare Waight Keller, and the stunning Queen Mary’s bandeau tiara which belonged to the Queen’s grandmother, Queen Marry.

Before the wedding, Harry and his brother William allegedly got into an “argument” over the venue of the lavish ceremony.

In his memoir Spare, Harry recalled that he initially suggested he and Meghan marry at Westminster Abbey, but William wasn’t happy with the idea since he and Kate married there seven years prior. Then, when Harry proposed St. Paul’s Cathedral, his brother said, “Too grand,” adding: “Plus, Pa and Mummy did it there,” according to Harry.

As the conversation proceeded, William made a suggestion on his own, telling his brother he and Meghan should marry at Tetbury, an intimate location near King Charles’ and Queen Camilla’s royal residence of Highgrove House, Gloucestershire.

“I snorted. Tetbury? The chapel near Highgrove? Seriously, Willy? How many does that place seat?” Harry recalled in Spare.

“Isn’t that what you said you wanted – a small, quiet wedding?” William reportedly answered.

“In fact we wanted to explore. Barefoot in Botswana, with maybe a friend officiating, that was our dream. But we were expected to share this moment with other people. It wasn’t up to us,” Harry wrote.

Finally, the royals settled for St. George’s Chapel at Windsor.

The discussions regarding Harry and Meghan’s big day didn’t end with the venue, allegedly. According to Harry, there was a debate within the family about whether Meghan should wear a veil for the ceremony since she was a divorcee. At the same time, William got angry at Harry for refusing to shave off his beard.

This, however, didn’t affect Harry and Meghan’s big day.

Speaking of the moment he waited for the woman of his dreams at the altar, the Duke recalled, “I stood at the altar, smoothed the front of my Household Cavalry uniform, watched Meg floating towards me. I’d worked hard to choose the right music for her procession, and ultimately I’d landed on Handel’s ‘Eternal Source of Light Divine’. Now, as the soloist’s voice rang out above our heads, I thought I’d chosen well. Indeed, as Meg came nearer and nearer, I was giving thanks for all my choices.”

Harry’s best man was one of his old friends, Charlie, which surprised many as they expected the role to be given to William since Harry was his best man at his wedding to Kate.

Some royal experts believe that Harry asked Charlie instead of his brother to be his best man because the feud between the brothers had probably started somewhere around the wedding.

“I asked what was really happening. Was he sulking because he wasn’t my best man?” Harry wrote. “Was he annoyed because I had asked my old friend Charlie instead? (The Royal Family announced Willy was the best man as they had done with me when he and Kate got married. Did that have something to do with it?).”

Despite everything that preceded the wedding of Harry and Meghan, it is certain that it was a fabulous one.

Woman blocks a man after he buys her a $500+ dinner

Meeting David, who could keep up with her random train of thought, somehow felt right for Penelope. He was a teacher and one of the most charming guys she has ever met. As they engaged in a deep and meaningful conversation about books, going from classics to sci-fi, he suddenly asked her about her favorite place to eat.

Penelope smiled. There was this fancy restaurant, which served food that felt it was coming from heaven, where she would go whenever she would reach certain milestone in her life. The perfect place for celebrations and a potential first date. But the place was very pricey, and she didn’t want to mention it, but she still did it. However, she then suggested a nice Mexican place that offered “over 300 tequilas and tacos with handmade tortillas that are to die for.” On top of it, it was easy on the wallet.

Unsplash

However, David decided that the two go to that pricey restaurant Penelope mentioned in the first place.

The evening was fabulous. It was more than she ever expected from a date with someone she had only seen once.

They ordered appetizers—those heavenly little bites she loved—and yes, the cocktails were as mesmerizing as ever.

Dish after dish came to their table as they laughed and laughed through the night. However, when the time came for the bill to be paid, something awkward happened. As Penelope offered to split it, since it hit over $500, she took some money out of her purse and her credit card fell on the table accidentally. David was quick to pick it up, but he didn’t return it immediately, instead, he took the time to analyze it, which confused Penelope.

What’s most, David scanned every tiny detail of it before putting it down. He then muttered something along the lines, “You should be careful with this.”

Unsplash

At that moment, Penelope felt like her privacy was invaded. She couldn’t help but wonder why he would stare at her credit card for that long.

It felt like a red flag, besides the lovely evening, so she blocked his phone number in case he texted her or tried to call her.

When she told a friend of hers about the incident, the friend felt Penelope was little too harsh towards David. She, however, decided not to think about it any longer, and leave things as they were.

Sharing her story online and asking social media users if she did wrong to David, she received plenty of different responses. Some believed that him starring at her credit card was indeed a red flag while others said he was just testing her to see if she offers to pay for the meal herself.

Wealthy landlord evicts elderly woman from her rental, only to find her at his family dinner

When she lost her husband to Covid and later her house was destroyed by a tornado, Diane Salinger, a lovely woman in her fifties, found herself at a crossroads. She contemplated life, and after giving it some thought, she decided to invest the money she was left with into a business at a mid-sized town in Michigan.

Her plan was to sell exotic goods so she bought a tiny grocery store and hoped for the best.

Luckily, the neighborhood where she settled was a cozy one. The people were friendly and accepted her as one of their own. Sadly, the same couldn’t be said for her landlord, Chris, who was a grumpy man and who seemed to only cared about himself.

Unsplash

Diane was the tenant everyone would ask for. She was quiet, paid her rent on time, and never asked for anything.

But one December, it was different. When the due date arrived, she was $120 short on her rent.

When she handed in the envelope to Chris and he started counting the money, he got furious, demanding that she paid the rent in full.

Diane explained that she would have the money in two weeks time, but Chris refused to listen to her. Still, she told him that she was helping some families in need and that she would be able to pay in full on short notice.

Unsplash

Chris started yelling and told her she could be playing Mother Theresa as much as she wanted, but he wouldn’t wait a day. Angry at her, he asked her to leave the place by the end of the week.

“I’m a businessman, not a charity,” he told her and accused her of taking advantage of him.

Chris could see people exiting Diane’s store with bags full of groceries so he was convinced her business was doing well enough to cover the rent in full, and that angered him even more.

Unsplash

Poor Diane found herself on the streets. She was forced to leave the house and look for another place to stay.

In the meantime, Chris didn’t feel any remorse for kicking her out.

A couple of days later, he was getting ready to pay his sister Vanessa a visit. She was a single mother who was raising her son all by herself. Her life was hard, but she was a strong and independent woman Chris loved dearly.

He placed a $20 bill in an envelope for his nephews’ birthday and headed to Vanessa’s.

When she opened the door, a pleasant smell of home-cooked food could be smelled in the air. Vanessa seemed happier than usual. She welcomed Chris in and told him dinner was ready. When he asked about his nephew, Vanessa said he was upstairs, playing video games with one of her friends. At that moment, Chris’ nephew got downstairs with a woman. It was Diane, the woman Chris kicked out of his home.

“I had no idea you were Vanessa’s brother,” Diane said.

Unsplash

Chris was stunned. He realized that one of those needy families Diane said was helping was that of his sister.

“But why isn’t she asking money from me,” he mumbled under his breath. Leaning towards him, Diane whispered, “Because it’s always easier to ask your friends than your family and Vanessa is one hardworking but very proud woman.”

Unsplash

Chris felt ashamed of himself. He now knew he did Diane wrong and wanted to make things right so he offered her to return to the apartment at half the price of the rent she was paying so that she can continue helping people like his sister. What’s most, he promised to match Diane’s help whenever he could.

Diane was glad to accept the offer. She hoped Chris learned a valuable lesson that day.

Strictly star Wynne Evans issues apology as he admits he’s ‘heartbroken’ over ‘wandering hands’ claims

Strictly Come Dancing‘s star Wynne Evans has issued an apology following the incident with fellow dance star Katya Jones after a footage of an awkward exchange between the two emerged.

During the fourth live show of the dance competition, Wynne was seen placing his arm around 35-year-old Katya’s waist. As his hand moved, she brushed it off.

Social media users raised their concerns following this incident, especially after Katya was seen ignoring Wynne’s attempt to high-five her.

Wynne felt the urge to address the issue on a show he hosts on BBC Radio Wales. “I’m absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day,” he said.

“It’s not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we’re really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke.

“It was a stupid joke that went wrong, okay? We thought it was funny. It wasn’t funny. It has been totally misinterpreted.”

Wynne, 52, added, “Everything’s on Katya’s socials. She’s talked about it. She’s explained that it was a joke. She wasn’t offended in the least. She doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

“We’ve got a brilliant friendship, an absolutely tight friendship, and I’m sorry if anybody was offended by it, but it was a joke. And that’s all there is. There is no real story, really.”

He said he doesn’t want his presence on the dance show to be remembered by this incident that started as a joke but took the wrong turn in the eyes of the viewers.

“I’m absolutely still up for it. I’m having the best time of my life. I just don’t want this to be the bit that people remember.”

A post shared by Katya Jones (@katyajones)

Katya also took to the social media to give an explanation, stating what happened between her and Wynne was just a joke the audience didn’t perceived as intended.

“Happy Sunday everyone,” she said at the start of the video she posted. “Now I need to make something crystal clear. The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly, very silly inside joke between Wynne and I. So even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended me in any way is complete nonsense.

“It’s quite absurd actually. Can we just focus on how brilliantly he’s doing and what an amazing dancer he’s becoming?” she added.

She ended the video when her doorbell rang and Katya said goodbye to her fans.

Fans, however, were still not convinced that the dance pair was only joking.

“You’re not explaining how it was a joke?” one fan questioned. “I think it’s exactly how it come across on camera. You didn’t want his hand there, so moved it? Not a big deal.”

Another fan added: “Not even funny to be honest in this day and age with everything that is going on so can’t see the funny side of this when people were genuinely concerned.”

This is why you should keep the bathroom light on when sleeping in a hotel

When traveling abroad and staying at a hotel, it is recommendable to have the bathroom lights on during the night.

Among the rest, the dim-lit space can help overcome anxiety at those people who don’t find it comfortable sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings.

Next, it will provide visibility during potential emergencies such as fires or intrusions, allowing you to quickly find exits without fumbling for your phone or a light switch.

Of course, when at a hotel or a motel, we tend to leave the luggage on the floor if our stay is short or if we are too tired to place or clothes and other belongings in the wardrobe. Having the bathroom light on can prevent us from tripping over the luggage in the dark.

What’s most, if there is an intruder around, the turned-on light will make them believe that the people inside the room are awake.

Well, sometimes, no matter if we like it or not, we are forced to have the bathroom light on, just like a Reddit user who shared a photo of his recent stay at a hotel. The bathroom door was a glass door and the light seemed to be too much for him.

He captioned the post, “This hotel bathroom when you turn the bathroom light on at night.”

As expected, the comments showed that different people have different preferences, and as some said they would love glass doors because they provide a lot of light during the night, others said this would be a nightmare for them.

“I spent the night in a similar one recently… the bathroom light was motion activated, so there was no way to avoid turning it on too,” someone commented. “As someone who can’t sleep without the bathroom light under the door off, this would be a nightmare to me,” another added.

So, what’s your preference? Do you leave the lights on throughout the night?

Valerie Bertinelli candidly shares her experience of facing criticism over her appearance

Body-shaming is real and it affects the self-confidence of plenty of people who experience it. The truth is that the societies impose certain standards of what “beautiful” stands for and in the pursuit of achieving that looks, people lose themselves.

The moment we learn how to love ourselves with all our flaws is the moment we really start to live our lives to the fullest, and it turns out that actress Valerie Bertinelli has learned this truth and is now helping others embrace it.

In a video she recently posted, the Hot in Cleveland star could be heard giggling as a swishing noise echoed in the background.

“I’m giggling because I had a small, hidden bruise activated today,” the actress says. “My jeans are rubbing together, creating this particular sound, so you can probably hear them,” she added, trying to make a point.

She explained that it’s been long since she had last worn those jeans and the reason she stopped wearing them was a remark an ex of her made about the sound they made while walking, telling her that if she hand’t been lazy and worked out, the jeans wouldn’t create that noise.

Valerie then shared with her followers what she meant when she mentioned the “hidden bruise.”

“Hidden bruises are something that emotional, verbal, and mental abuse does to you that people can’t see,” she explained.

“The work I’m doing on healing is working, so it’s now making me laugh,” she continued. “I put these jeans in storage for good. After working to cure her concealed bruise, she can “wear them, hear that sound, and to me, that sound represents freedom.”

The actress added that she hesitated whether to post the video or not, believing her followers would tell her to “move on,” and “let it go,” but she figured out that speaking openly about being body-shamed was in fact a way of moving on.

The comments under the video were full of support and encouragement.

“Thank you for sharing the concept of hidden bruises,” one person wrote. “So proud of you! Many people find inspiration in you and your strength,” another added.

Valerie has always been open about certain aspects of her life. If you want to hear more about her personal journey and healing from past pain go to the video below.

Meghan Markle is reportedly feeling ‘frustrated’ about a recent photo of Prince William

The ongoing feud between the royals doesn’t seem to be coming to an end any time soon.

While royal experts claim that Prince Harry is more than willing to bury the hatchets, it’s his wife, Meghan Markle, who appears to be holding onto past grievances.

Royal expert Tom Quinn commented on the situation, expressing his belief that Meghan isn’t pleased with her husband’s attempt to extend an olive branch to his family unless two conditions are fulfilled. According to Quinn, the former Suits star will only back down when “she feels that the Royal Family have been sufficiently nice to her, and grovelingly apologized for the past.”

“Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the Royal family have been sufficiently nice to her – and grovelingly apologized for the past – it’s not going to happen,” the royal expert said.

Meghan’s, as well as Harry’s, decision not to bring Archie and Lili to their father’s homeland unless the issue with the protection is resolved is yet another obstacle towards rebuilding the bridges that have already be burnt.

What made things even worse between Harry and the rest of the members of the Firm is his and Meghan’s trips to Nigeria and Colombia, which certainly resembled royal visits.

Now, it appears that Meghan is even further frustrated with a recent photo of Prince William with one of her and Harry’s good friends, football legend David Beckham.

When Meghan made her way into the royal family, the former Spice Girls singer, Victoria Beckham, was said to have given the Duchess all the access she needed to hairdressers and stylists in London. Meghan wasn’t happy that this information found its way into the press and believed it was Victoria herself who leaked it.

In an attempt stand up for his dear wife, Harry allegedly gave David Beckham a call, and David found it rather awkward.

“Harry was very polite, but obviously it was a pretty awkward exchange and David was mortified. Inexplicably, [Meghan] feared Victoria was behind it – I mean, the idea that Victoria Beckham would be personally ringing journalists to give them a scoop is ridiculous – and spoke to Harry about it,” a source told The Sun.

“Harry is very protective of Meghan, and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David. He quickly put Harry right, and the two men agreed to move on – but it certainly made things awkward for a while.”

The Beckhams were invited to Harry and Meghan’s wedding, but were excluded from the wedding dinner.

Harry and David, who have been good friends for quite some time, were to meet in Australia after Harry asked from the former Manchester United star to be an ambassador for the Invictus Games, but the meeting failed as Harry refused to see David in Sydney because he wanted to keep his friends at arm’s length while in Australia.

The real reason for this failed meeting, however, according to royal biographer Tom Bower was that “[Meghan] wanted no competition in the media from David. It seemed she was not prepared to tolerate anything flattering regarding the Beckhams and the Games to appear in the media.”

What affected the relationship between the Sussexes and the Beckhams even further was David’s respect and appreciation of the Royal Family that Harry dragged through the mud ever since Megxit.

“David had always been an ardent royalist who would stand up for the Queen’s Speech every Christmas, dressed in his Sunday best. Years later, he queued for 12 hours to view the Queen’s coffin when her body was lying in state,” royal expert Richard Eden wrote in the Daily Mail.

“So it is, perhaps, no surprise that the Sussexes’ attacks on the Royal Family failed to impress the Beckhams.”

The expert added: “Both David and Victoria put great importance on family and would never, ever turn on their relations the way that Harry and Meghan did,’ one of their associates tells me. The truth is that Victoria never really liked Meghan much. She was friendly and welcoming to her but is not bothered about staying in touch.”

A couple of days ago, David met with Prince William at RAF Northolt to celebrate London Air Ambulance’s Up Against Time campaign. Shortly before, Prince Harry attended the WellChild Awards in the UK.

The photo of the two was shared in the media, which allegedly frustrated Meghan, who used to be close friends with David and his wife.

“Yes, I do think that this is something that will annoy Meghan Markle,” royal expert Kinsey Schofield said, per the Mirror.

“After two weeks of bad press since Prince Harry’s been gone. I just think that she’s probably livid right now, based on the reaction that she’s getting from all of these stories. She’s had to deal with that while Prince Harry’s been out of town.”

The royal expert added: “That’s gotta be incredibly hard for her. And then to see this kind of victory moment from Prince William. A victory moment that she would tell you it should have been Harry’s moment after the WellChild awards, that would be upsetting to her.”
