This happened last night and my ankle is currently fucked. I matched with this girl on tinder who is a bit adventurous and when we were planning a first date she suggested roller skating I don’t know why but instead of admitting I have the balance of a old man I said “yeah I love roller skating lets do it” I don’t know why I do this to myself. Fast forward to the rink she shows up and skating like a professional and I’m standing there trying to act like I know what I’m doing. The first five minutes were okay because we were just holding onto the rail and talking. But then she’s like “let’s go to the middle it’s easier there” so I let go of the rail and immediately my legs started shaking like they’re moving independently of my brain. She started laughing and trying to encourage me but then I hit this tiny little pebble or maybe a shadow lol and suddenly i started flying. I saw my life flash before my eyes before I slammed down hard on my left side. I tried to play it off like it didn’t hurt but my ankle was already fucked. She helped me to a bench and that’s when we both realized it was swelling fast so we ended the date early and she actually insisted on driving me to the ER herself which was very sweet but also very humiliating. While I was sitting there in the waiting room with an ice pack wrapped around my foot I was trying so hard not to look like I was in pain that I just pulled out my phone and started listening to calming music for pain relief on youtube to distract myself. Worst music ever but it kept me from focusing on the pain. Anyway now I’m officially the guy who lied about knowing how to skate, wiped out in front of a girl I like and spent the rest of the night in the ER.
TLDR: I pretended I knew how to roller skate on a Tinder date, wiped out in front of her and ended up in the ER with a fucked up ankle.

Was there a second date though?
I think this scores you points tho because you tried
Ouch. And to think you could have admitted your inexperience and had a bunch of cute “teach me” moments.
In high school I took a girl I was seeing kayaking for a date. Taught her the basics and we had a great afternoon paddling around.
When we got back to the boat launch I was showing off and tried to do an Eskimo roll. I didn’t quite make it back upright, and as I fell back down I hit myself in the head with my paddle. HARD.
I gave myself a concussion and needed stitches. Also ended the date at the ER.
The stupid shit men do trying to impress women.
So was it a first date or a third date? Post title says first, post substance says third.
Also, just don’t lie it’s not worth it
You turned a first date into a ER visit just to impress her, that’s some next-level dedication.
Dude, yikes! Major props to u for trying though lol. If she stayed with you throughout the ER trip, she’s a keeper. Meme your way outta this situation – Get her a shirt saying ‘My date went ER on wheels’ or smth. Minor Ls make for major wins eventually. Just don’t lie the next time skateboarding comes up. 😂 Heal up soon, mate! 🤘
Fumbled the ankles but secured the ride home
That is a fantastic first date story, hopefully there’ll be a second date. I had a similar experience (minus the injury) skating when my wife and I were dating, she made it look so effortless and could do all kinds of neat maneuvers. I was mostly focused on not falling and being able to make the turns lol
I refuse to believe people do this kind of moronic sitcom shit in real life
Lmao, that date story is legendary, hope your ankle heals fast!
Next date’s gonna be spicy food I guarantee it
Lmao, you totally sacrificed your ankle for romance!
I’m curious how old you are
