This was embarrassing at the moment, but it worked out.

It was a 2nd date, but it was also Valentine's Day, so I decided to get her flowers, a card that plays music, and some chocolates. It was freezing cold, but I didn't have anywhere to keep them besides my car. I took the chance the flowers might die.

Wish I had a video of that "date" just to laugh at it again. @GassyMagee / Reddit

We order coffee, he flashes a charming smile, "How about dessert for two?". I agreed. We’re sharing bites like it’s a rom-com, and then he says, "Last bite for you!" I shamelessly take it. Cue the waiter with the bill, and my date casually slides it across the table to me and says, "Since you had the last bite, it’s only fair you pay."

I froze, wondering if I’d just stepped into a sitcom. Romantic? Not anymore. That dessert turned out to be more bitter than sweet!

I work at the zoo. Every year we do Secret Santa. We each make a wish list for gifts under $50. I asked for a new perfume and was thrilled to see a fancy Versace box. Excited, I spritzed it on — only to nearly pass out when I realized it was... Click here to read the full story.
