Erin Molan dishes on her worst ever date
Erin Molan raised eyebrows when she made the unique decision to wed herself as part of a 2Day FM radio stunt, but if new insight into her dating history is anything to go by, her bold move may not be quite so surprising after all.
Speaking to Confidential, Erin - who is known for keeping tight-lipped when it comes to her romantic pursuits - spilled the details on some of the worst dates she’s ever had the displeasure of being on.
When asked if she could recall the bottom of the barrel experiences, Erin was quick to answer “yeah, my God. How much time do you have?”
“I once went on a date with a bloke while I was working at Channel 9 in Willoughby, years ago,” the former Channel 9 sports presenter went on to explain.
“He came and picked me up, and we went to a restaurant in Paddington. It was awful and awkward, one of those times when you know straight away that you’ve got zero interest.”
She went on to reveal that she’d tried her best to bring the evening to an early end, informing her date that she had to be up early for work the following day. She accepted a lift home from him, but things took a turn for the uncomfortable when they missed their turn over the Harbour Bridge.
“I kid you not,” she said, “he asked me for money for the extra toll.”
And while Erin handed over the cash, she certainly “never spoke to him again”.
A second unsuccessful romantic pursuit began in Hawaii, when Erin crossed paths with a Brisbane truck driver she believed could be her “future husband”. However, that dream was short-lived, with their flame fizzling upon their return to Australia.
As Erin recalled, “I remember getting to his place, sitting on the couch with his housemate, and he couldn’t even look at me.”
Despite her poor encounters, Erin dipped her feet back into the dating pool in 2022, but as of 2023 is single again - and she isn’t mad about it.
“I don’t think you could pay me enough to entice me to date right now,” she told The Daily Telegraph.
“The thought of it - I’m not going to say it would make me physically ill - but my focus is being the best mum I can be and getting myself into a really good place. That takes a lot of work.”
