When you go on a date, there’s always a chance that sparks will fly. But sometimes you have a date where something so absurd, embarrassing or infuriating happens that your only positive takeaway is the story you can tell your friends afterward. So, we want to know: What is the worst date you’ve been on? Please record your response as a voice memo and email it to modernlovepodcast@nytimes.com by Dec. 2, 2024. We’ll be listening to all the voice memos you send, and we may use excerpts from your memo on the podcast.
