Ever had a bad date and thought you were the only one on earth this has happened to?

Fear not. Even the rich and famous had their share of bad dating experiences.

Poor Sandra Bullock is now happily married to Jesse James, but she once had a boyfriend who broke up with her when she went to his house on Valentine's Day.

"You can't get much worse than that!" she said.

Eva Mendes once had a date where the guy took her to a party where his ex-girlfriend was.

Like a scene from a movie, Eva was checking out the competition and fell in the swimming pool.

"The ex bent down to help me out, but at the last minute let my hand go and I fell back into the pool again. It was humiliating," the sexy Latina said.

But the trick is to realise that dating is all about taking calculated risks.

When you decide to meet an online chat partner in person, you have no guarantee that it's going to be a perfect date (if something like a 'perfect date' even exists).

But the upside is that if the date doesn't go according to plan, you can be sure that there are lots more fish in the online chat sea.
