This is a form of heartless Practical Joke in which Alice thinks she has a date with Bob, but in reality it's a trick by Bob (or even a third party) and the expected outcome is anything but a romantic interlude. In the Romantic Comedy genre, this will lead to Alice either temporarily breaking off with Bob (to make up later) or meeting Dan, who will be the actual romantic interest for the rest of the story. In other comedies, Hilarity Ensues. In the horror or mystery genres, this will often result in a Deadly Prank, with the poor sap being set up either suffering an unexpectedly lethal fate, finding the prank less than amusing and coming back to take obsessive revenge, or both. Common types of the Prank Date: The No-Show - Just not showing up, to see how long the poor sap will wait. Not the same thing as Stood Up, where Bob intended to show up and was late or otherwise unable (with Doomed Appointment as a special subtrope if Bob died before arriving). Setup for Humiliation - Here the "date" is a setup for public humiliation by Bob and his friends. The "Dogfight" - Like number 2 above, but for a group, in which the objective is for each competitor to bring the least desirable date, so that the unlucky chosen can be humiliated both individually and en masse. Bait and Switch - The actual date is with someone else than Alice was led to believe, usually someone much less desirable. "Oh, you thought I was asking for me? No, I was asking for my cousin Melvoid." (Compare Bed Trick.) Embarrassing Location - The supposed date location is dangerous or embarrassing for Alice, because, for example, Bob wants to meet Alice in a Gay Bar. Malicious Trap - The "date" is actually a way of luring Alice to an isolated location for the purpose of robbery, murder, or rape. This type is rarely ever meant to be a "prank", actually, and not done with humor in mind; there is actual intent to do the victim harm. Scare Them Off - Alice is Bob's Abhorrent Admirer but Bob is too nice to outright reject her. So instead, he invites her out on a date and behaves disgustingly in the hopes that she'll lose interest in him. This will often backfire when Alice sees this as a sign of Bob's comfort around her and behaves equally disgustingly. Compare the generally more serious Marrying the Mark, which is employed by a Con Man. |

It turned out to be a prank played on him by Jokey who dressed himself up as Smurfette. And that Smurf was none too happy about it! | |

Happens twice to Beatrice (Betty) Pinzon in the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea: As she is having an affair with Don Armando, her handsome boss, she tells him that she has been wary of men who show interest in her because of what happened a year before. The neighborhood bully suddenly showed remorse for his actions, and dated her for a while, and she felt so comfortable around him, that they eventually slept together. However the next time she tried to talk to him, he bragged to his friends about how he won the bet of who was the first guy to have sex with "Ugly Betty." The second time it happened, Betty was so in love with Don Armando that she was convinced that he was going to break off his engagement to be with her. However when she was rummaging around his office, she found a letter from Armando's friend, Mario. The letter was basically going over the plan over how Armando was going to Romance Betty and going to use her economic saavy to scam his way into his parent's comnay, and how he was going to dump her and offer a nice severance package once they took over the company. Betty felt humiliated, and spends several episodes behaving coldly towards Armando, who was begining to fall for her, and he eventually demands to know why she's ignoring him. |

This happens to Montblanc from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, who received a letter from Mogumi, a townsgirl. She asked him to go to Materiwood. As he gets there, it was actually Reaker, the leader of Clan Rose who are going to attack him. This reappears again in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, involving a viera named Cois. It turned out to be Fras instead, for some Revenge. |

Happy Gilmore: Shooter getting Happy out on "the ninth green at 9". More of an Embarrassing Location or Malicious Trap, since the point was getting Happy on the green when the sprinklers go off. Happy takes getting soaked oddly calmly, but then goes to find Shooter so he can "beat the living piss out of him." Virginia's comments make it clear that this isn't the first time he's done this, either. | |

An example that doesn't exactly fit in any of the types above takes place in Tokimeki Memorial 4. After repeatedly asking (an ominous thirteen times), the Protagonist convinces his Patient Childhood Love Interest Miyako Okura to go on a date with him. This event boosts her hopes, as she's always been in love with him, and now thinks the feeling is mutual. However soon after this date, the Protagonist makes a careless remark how Miyako would make a lovely wife for another man. This shatters her psyche, as she begins to believe the Protagonist is screwing with her emotions (he isn't), and triggers her transformation into a heartbroken and very creepy yandere. | |

In My Name Is Earl, one person on Earl's list is a lonely, depressed man with No Social Skills named Philo, who has attempted suicide multiple times. It turns out, though, that Philo has a crush on Joy (even though she's already married to Darnell) and watches her hang her underwear on the clothesline. Earl goes to talk to her about this, reasoning that if she can give him one nice date, it'll build up Philo's confidence enough that he'll be able to find a woman who's actually available. Joy agrees to this, especially as she wants to try Operation: Jealousy on Darnell after he claimed that he doesn't get jealous when other guys check her out. She ends up having sex with Darnell in the men's bathroom. But while Earl worries that Philo will attempt suicide again, it turns out that Philo is OK now that he has Earl and Randy to hang out with...even if they do view him as the The Friend Nobody Likes. | |

A mild (and ultimately subverted) example; in the Superman Elseworlds story Secret Identity, in a world where superheroes do not exist (at least at first) but Superman comic books do, Mr. and Mrs. Kent name their son Clark, much to his later chagrin. At one point in Book 2, some friends of his try setting him up on a date with a woman named Lois. Both Clark and Lois are mildly peeved at the gag; Clark later told Lois that since college he had been set up with a number of Lois-es, several Lanas, and one Cat. Lois decides to go out with Clark; at the start of Book 3, they're Happily Married. | |

Internet version: An episode of NCIS has as its B-plot the saga of McGee's new online girlfriend—who is actually Tony using a fake screenname. The idea was to get McGee good and attached, then suddenly turn sour and eventually break up with him, so that Tony could have a good laugh at McGee being heartbroken. Only it goes wrong; when Tony turns on the shrew, McGee loves her more than ever, baffling Tony. It eventually turned out that McGee wasn't fooled, but figured he could wind Tony up by playing along. An earlier episode features a prank date that ended with one of the pranksters killed by the mark. |

On an episode of Taxi, lovable jerk Louie regales the cabbies with stories of his hellish high school days, as being a short, unattractive child made him an easy bullying target. The cruelest thing his tormentors did was tell him that an attractive girl that he had a desperate crush on wished to sit next to him at the cafeteria. Louie went to lunchroom and saw her sitting at a table - and a baby's highchair next to her. | |

Batman: The Animated Series: In "Birds of a Feather", Veronica Vreeland has a plan to bring The Penguin to a party as her date. She expects him to make a fool of himself, thereby attracting attention to herself and making her look good in contrast. The plan goes wrong when she begins to genuinely like Oswald for his charm, and the cruelty of the prank prompts a Jerkass Realization. She tries to come clean, but it is too late: The Penguin finds out about the planned prank and feels heartbroken. | |

In addition to the A Song of Ice and Fire example above, there is another, more violent, version later in the story. Robb Stark, having broken his pledge to marry a Frey woman, tries to arrange a marriage between his Uncle and a different Frey to broker peace. Walder Frey accepts... and then uses the wedding to ambush the Starks, murdering Robb and Catelyn, desecrating their bodies, and capturing their Uncle to deliver to the Lannisters. The massacre, known as the "Red Wedding", is an In-Universe Moral Event Horizon for the Freys. | |

The Brady Bunch: "Cindy Brady, Lady," an episode that saw Cindy go through a fit of wanting to act older than her age had a key plotline where Bobby – wanting to help his sister – poses as a "secret admirer," who is impressed by her maturity and tastes in what older kids do. Cindy takes the bait and wants to meet this mysterious boy, but Mike immediately figures out what's going on and tells Bobby to confess his trick to Cindy. Bobby bluffs his way out of his father's request long enough to get a classmate, Tommy, to pose as the "secret admirer." When Tommy wants to act his age and is disappointed at Cindy's apparent "mature" tastes, he tries to walk off ... only for Cindy to immediately admit she still wants to be a kid. | |

Game of Thrones: Tyrion and his first wife Tysha met while she was fleeing from an attempted rape. Tyrion fell in love, and the two married. When Tywin arrives, he informs Tyrion that she is, in fact, a prostitute hired by Jaime in a prank now gone wildly out of hand. Then, to drive the point home, he makes Tyrion watch as his soldiers have their way with her, paying her a silver for each one. In the books, it's later revealed that Tysha wasn't a whore, but rather a simple commoner who genuinely loved Tyrion, making the last part a brutal gang rape. This is never hinted at on the show, however. | |

In Carrie, the titular character is asked out by a popular football player named Tommy Ross (whose girlfriend Sue talked him into it as her way of atoning for her part in the shower incident). Chris Hargensen, resident Alpha Bitch and Carrie's chief tormentor, catches wind of it and together with her boyfriend Billy Nolan turn it into this as a way of humiliating her as revenge for being kicked out of the prom for the shower incident. When Carrie gets to the prom, the ballot box is rigged so that Carrie will be voted prom queen, and Chris and Billy dump pig blood on her. It does not end well... Note that both Tommy and his girlfriend Sue were completely innocent in regards to the prank, and Tommy had actually started to grow fond of Carrie herself. Not that it mattered in the end: Tommy was killed when the bucket of pig-blood came down on his head, and Sue was the Sole Survivor of Carrie's rampage. |

A CSI episode had a plot that involved luring a boy into a trap of all of the three examples (the bait lured him to a construction site with the prospect of having sex, then her friends proceeded to beat him to death with hammers before taking his wallet and splitting the money four ways.) The boy had originally been friends with the rest of the teenagers, who were all emo punks, but when he stopped hanging out with them, got a job and started doing better in school, the other teenagers were angry at him for "ditching" them, figuring that he thought he was better than them. Well, if they were willing to murder him and then rob him, he probably was better than them. |

Bully: The page image depicts Algernon "Algie" Papadopoulos getting rejected by Pinky Gauthier. Although nothing of this sort explicitly happens in the game, one can say that you can't really blame Pinky for doing this, as Algie is infamous for his potty failures. Also, Algie prefers blondes. As a blue blood, Pinky's family practices endogamy to preserve the family fortune. Her parents would like her to marry her cousin Derby Harrington, but she dumps him after thinking she's the victim of this trope (turns out he's just 5 minutes late). |

In Friends episode "The One With The Blind Dates", Phoebe and Joey scheme to get Rachel and Ross back together by intentionally setting them up on horrible dates so that they will want to get back with each other. However, Joey accidentally sets Ross up with someone who would be perfect for him (but awful to Joey), so he just tells the woman not to come and Ross ends up thinking he was stood up. | |

Carrie, or so she thought. (The date itself was benign, but the two antagonists made sure it went very wrong. So she responded.) | |

In a rare case of this having a happy ending, on WKRP in Cincinnati, Mr. Carlson learns, years after the fact, that his wife and her friend only accepted their first dates with him and his friend as part of a sorority pledge "bring a drip to the party" prank. Both couples fell in love and married but when Mr. Carlson learned things had started as a joke, he felt humiliated. His wife reminds him that they didn't actually go to the party, and she quit the sorority shortly afterwards. | |

Cold Case: Several fat girls were brought to a fraternity house party, and then publicly weighed and mocked by guys with pig masks. One of them had been friends with a fraternity brother (who felt guilty), but the other brothers beat him up and attempted to rape her. The other girls, enraged, set the house on fire for revenge. The girl who had gone back inside wound up locked in a side room while her friend heard her last wishes before she died. | |
