Ah, Columbia! A charming city known for its vibrant atmosphere, friendly faces, and of course, romance. But sometimes, dating in this beautiful city can feel like something out of a scary movie. You know the ones—where the hero thinks they’re meeting their soulmate, only to stumble into a plot twist that leaves them haunted for life. In celebration of this spooky season, we’re diving into some of the most spine-tingling, hair-raising, and downright cringe-worthy date stories that Columbia has to offer!
The Ghosting of Charlie Brown
Picture this: it’s a lovely Saturday evening, and Charlie Brown had high hopes for the night. He met someone online who seemed perfect—funny, smart, and a huge fan of blockbuster movies. They decided to meet at a cozy coffee shop downtown. But as he walked in, he quickly noticed that something felt off. Despite arriving early, he found himself seated alone, staring at the door like it was the gate to another world.
After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Charlie checked his phone to see a message from his date: “Sorry, can’t make it, maybe another time?” Honestly, talk about a major letdown. Poor Charlie was left cringing with his untouched cup of hot cocoa, while friends still tease him about it to this day. “Just call me the ghost of Valentine’s Day,” he often jokes.
Casper’s First Date Fiasco
Then there’s Casper, whose first date turned into a living nightmare! Casper had scored a date with someone he had been crushing on for ages. Everything was going smoothly until they decided to watch a horror film together at home. Little did he know that his date was a total scaredy-cat!
As soon as the creepy music hit, his date jumped out of their seat, knocking over a vase, shattering it into a hundred pieces. In the blink of an eye, Casper found himself trying to calm a spooked soul while simultaneously cleaning up glass shards. By the time the movie ended, they were both laughing, but that date is one Casper will never forget—his friends still refer to it as the “spooky vase incident.”
Frankenstein’s Love Gone Wrong
Next up, we have Frankenstein, who learned the hard way that some chemistry experiments should never be tried on a first date. He took his date to a sushi-making class, thinking it would be a fun and interactive way to bond. However, his attempts at crafting a sushi roll looked more like a culinary horror show.
After a few clumsy attempts, Frankenstein accidentally flung sushi rice all over the place, including on his date. As laughter erupted, he turned crimson with embarrassment. They managed to salvage the date with lots of giggles and rice-throwing stories shared over dessert. They might not have ended up as a romantic pair, but Frankenstein and his date surely became lifelong friends, all thanks to the unforgettable sushi fiasco.
The Creepy Cupid: A Blind Date Gone Awry
Then there’s the infamous blind date story of Wednesday, who connected with someone through a mutual friend. They agreed to meet at a local bar (not the brightest choice, let’s be honest), where everything seemed to kick off perfectly until her date began dissecting horror movie tropes with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine.
Wednesday knew one thing for sure: when someone compares their love life to a slasher film, it’s time to run. By the end of the night, they did make it out of the bar, but the experience left our girl haunted by the phrase “Run, piggy, run!” ringing in her ears. She has since sworn off blind dates!
