Guys of Reddit, what was your most awkward interaction with a girl that still makes you cringe when you think of it?

I was a 18 y.o. University student at the time, and had my first real crush for that amazing blond girl with whom we studied on preliminary courses prior to the enrollment. We have known each other for a couple of years by then, but I never dared to show my feelings cause I was one of those hardcore nerds for whom any kind of human interaction seemed like a feat reserved exclusively for superheroes. Spending the majority of time with anime and videogames didn't help either. Still, for the past two years I had been just burning with passion, to the level that interferred with my sleep schedule, so I said fuck it all, approached her during a break between lectures and sheepishly suggested to maybe go watch a movie or something this weekend. To my neverending surprise, she smiled and agreed. To my eternal demise, the movie I so cleverly chose for our date was... Saw III. Motherfucking Saw III. To this day I can't believe I couldn't have come up with some better idea for a date, or wait a week until the cinema schedule rotates. Jesus.

Anyway, that weekend we met at the cinema theatre, grabbed our tickets and proceeded to our seats. If you never watched a Saw movie (lucky you), let's just say that it lives up to its name - limbs get sawed off, there's blood and guts all around, dissected bodies and screaming victims in chains sneer at you all over the place, while a smug motherfucker in a mask keeps boasting of all the torture he's about to apply to you in a moment. And what do you know, 15 minutes in, the blond girl stands up from her seat unsteadily, her body visibly shaking, tries to make a step to the exit and falls unconscious right on the floor. Fuck. Not knowing what to do, I grab her limp body and drag her to the exit. On our way out of the room I somehow get entangled with that bloody curtain that's supposed to cover the exit and keep the lights down. So I put the girl on the floor (at which point she regains consciousness and feels a little bit better) and just sit down right next to her, with the damn curtain wrapped weirdly around my head, and, being worried and panicky as fuck, ask her whether she'd like me to maybe escort her to the restroom or (sigh) just lie on the floor and rest a little. She says she's fine, though, and just asks me to help her get outside for a breath of fresh air. Finally untangling myself, I pick her up, refuse the offer to call an ambulance from the cinema staff and lead her to the exit. We escape the cinema safely, and later on she tells me the story of how she's absolutely intolerant to all kind of visceral and messy crap that has anything to do with blood, intestines and tortures. Who would've guessed. Naturally, the rest of our date didn't really go all that smooth. I quickly exhausted the reserve of my funny stories without any visible improvement, we awkwardly said goodbye, and to this day I hate Saw III with burning passion. And that's the story of the first date of my life.
