That sounds terrible. Hopefully your date understood. I love owls, but I can see why they would be terrifying. And it's not an animal people encounter all the time.

Everyone is afraid of something don't be ashamed. If your going to have a future with this girl then she will understand and let you set up the next date and start over.

Tough break. Hope you get another date anyway.

Completely normal to not know about something like this. If you're not previously exposed to something like this, how would you know you are scared of it? I am scared of all birds, and it didn't really make sense to me until a bird that I thought couldn't fly flew towards me. I feel your pain OP..

Yeah, I think you're not old enough for a date, if you still cry and piss yourself.

Phobias sometimes come out of nowhere. When I was younger I had no problems getting shots or giving blood, it didn't bother me at all. Now, if anyone comes near me with a needle I will freak out and cry or throw up. So I definitely understand your pain and I'm sorry you experienced this.

where in SC is an own sanctuary? I know where a reptile one is.
