wrong dates

Mistaken calendar entries

Wrong dates are incorrect dates—the wrong year on a check, a misremembered anniversary, an error in a historical record.

The phrase also describes romantic outings that go badly or pairings that were ill-suited from the start: I've been on so many wrong dates I've lost count.

Context usually makes the meaning clear.
