Dating can be hard. It can also be wonderful. This Valentine's Day, sit back and listen to 23 Austinites recount their first dates -- ones that never had a second one, ones in which they knew they had found the one, ones people wish they had never went on.

Some highlights:

Marrying that person

Being shown Walmart

Standing ovation after slapping someone

Hair catching on fire 

Showing up to a date in sweatpants

Threat of Murder

Enjoy, and be glad you've ever found the one. If not, know that there's someone out there for you.
