Woman Live-Tweets Awkward First Date Conversation From Cafe

ADVERTISEMENT

Canadian blogger Anne Thériault was minding her own business in a Toronto coffee shop when she heard a date dipped in so much douchebaggery, she actually LIVE-TWEETED the spectacle.

Using her smartphone, Thériault documented the 30-minute date in which the guy showed no apparent interest in the girl he was with. In addition to asking her whether she’d “ever dated a writer” (hint; that was his job), he also confessed to looking “like James Franco”, and told her his Puttanesca pasta sauce was even better than his friend’s… who, incidentally, is a chef. What a surprise, no?

Unsurprisringly, the girl had “a look of mild panic” and came up with one of the best excuses to get out of out of what was possibly the dullest half hour of her life.

Think you’ve had Tinder nightmares? Spare a thought for this girl who had a real one!

I've met lots of guys (and girls) like this one. I was a full-time working musician for 38 years (with a degree in music so not a wannabe rock star), also a part-time PUBLISHED writer. Narcissistic attention-seekers like this one approached me all the time, trying desperately to insinuate themselves in my life. Most are living off their parents or a significant other and claiming to be 'artists looking for their big break' so they don't have to get a job. They always believe they're more talented, intelligent, and sensitive than everyone else. And it's amazing how many of them claim to be screen-writers—it's because they want to steal a little glitter from Hollywood as well. This girl didn't run fast enough! BTW, music and writing aren't all that glamorous or high-paying in the real world lol.

I have been texting with guys from a dating site....they ask me where I live and what I do...that is about it...It is ALWAYS about THEM -- like i should be enrapt with their dull lives. ...and they rarely ask me anything about myself. Douche. Bags. I think instead, I will just get a dog.

Jesus christ on a crutch, I wouldn't even have bothered with the bogus excuse... I would have just said to his/her face (bisexuality means having twice the chance to be confronted by used douchebags of either sex) that this was NOT working out, and BUH-bye. But, I'm a boy, and I know that girls have to put up with some scary s**t during those first dates that males do not. The most frightening thing? As much of a train wreck as this was... it wasn't the worst I've witnessed this YEAR. :-/

This is a somewhat interesting look into someone's date moment, but I also see this as a HUGE invasion of privacy!! I am a calm, kind, understanding and highly open-book sort of person, but I would be livid if anyone shared my private conversation/situation online like this! Not cool.

We have no right to judge others while we don't know them, and a conversation of few minutes cannot tell you about the behavior and personality of someone or what is inside them. The guy that I am reading about just doesn't know what to do and what to say! Anne Theriault's act of mocking someone while he doesn't know and sharing it with others, is awful and not funny at all!

I agree it is better to tell the truth but sometimes I feel like the companion is not worth it. Some people can't take it and she probably felt he was one of these people. Bursting people's bubbles takes away from your own energy which could have been better spent in improving the relationship with the people that are really close to you.
