People Share Their First Date Horror Stories

It starts like any other first date — small talk, polite smiles, the sense that something might develop. Then the conversation takes a hard left. Passive income. Mentors. “Opportunities.” Suddenly, the romance is replaced with a business model.

It’s almost impressive how quickly the mask drops. This wasn’t flirting; it was prospecting. The worst part isn’t even the MLM — it’s realizing you were never a date, just a lead. The evening ends not with chemistry, but with the lingering urge to block a number and never hear the words “financial freedom” again.
