New York, NY (WFN) -- Staying home alone on Valentine's Day isn't so bad if you consider one of the possible alternatives: Going out on a truly awful date.

In the upcoming "Cosmopolitan" magazine, readers share some of their worst hook-ups from hell that could very possibly scare you off from dating ever again.

One woman had a few too many drinks and got sick as a dog. While she was upchucking into the toilet, her date started groping her and told her she was turning him on.

Then there was the gal whose date started making crazy ape noises and pounding his chest while they were having sex. She couldn't take it and left him right then and there.

Finally, there's the female lab assistant whose man started screaming like a girl when they were in bed together because her pet mice got loose and crawled under the covers with them.
