Woman endures ‘worst first date’ ever after bloke takes her to strip club

A woman has recalled her ‘worst first date’, which she says ended up with her love interest taking her to hang out with his pals at a strip club. Then he sent her a bizarre follow-up text

A singleton says she was left baffled after a first date with a man she’d met on Hinge went disastrously wrong, with the night ending in a strip club with a group of his mates. According to this woman, the date started positively enough, with the pair sharing “some good food, good drinks” at a “nice restaurant.”

Things then took an uncomfortable turn after he began “trauma dumping” on her, “literally telling me his entire life story, all the family drama, baby mama drama.” After they’d finished with dinner, she’d already made up her mind that she never wanted to see this man ever again.

However, it was at this point that he announced it was in fact his birthday and that he was heading to a strip club with some friends to celebrate. He asked her along, and she decided to just go with it.

Taking to TikTok, dating app user Gabriella Miller – who goes by the username @gabrielladmiller – recalled: “So he takes me to a strip club. Which is kind of weird for a first date. That’s just not appropriate. But me being me, I can have fun doing anything. I say ‘Okay, let’s go, I’m down”.

When they arrived, the server made it clear her date was a club regular, a factor she didn’t mind too much until his pals started awkwardly denying it, claiming they’d never even been there before. The following day, Gabriella was left aghast to receive a bizarre follow-up message.

Gabriella, who works as a travel nurse, continued: “He goes ‘I think I decided that I really like you and we should just be together until you leave me’. Like you really thought this date went well first of all, and second of all, you’re going to disrespect yourself like that? I don’t understand men.”

The TikTok video has since been viewed 9333 times and counting, with many of Gabriella’s followers left just as flabbergasted by her date’s confusing behaviour.

One fellow dater joked: “My toxic trait is that I would be hooked after a strip club first date.”

Another sympathised: “I had been on three dates before a guy told me he frequented a strip club with friends and tried to talk me into going. No.”
