“It’s Hashtags time!” Jimmy Fallon’s collections of hilarious real-life stories are back with a bang. Twitter users are having lots of fun sharing their personal stories with the 46-year-old comedian and the host of The Tonight Show. This time, everyone’s opening up about their very worst first dates by posting under the #WorstFirstDate hashtag.
First dates are supposed to be a tad awkward but fun. Unfortunately, that’s an overly romantic view of them. Reality shows us that first dates can be utter disasters—as bad as they are hilarious! Take a look at our collection of the funny and unbelievable stories that Twitter users shared with Fallon, give the ones that grabbed your attention an upvote, and share your own stories in the comment section.
Having a weird feeling of déjà vu? When you’re done with this list, check out our post about Fallon asking his fans the very same question nearly 3 years ago. Time flies, but people will never stop going on dates, so there’s an inexhaustible supply of future awkwardness.
Mike Sington, a former senior executive at NBCUniversal and a celebrity and pop culture expert based in Los Angeles, detailed to Bored Panda how shows like Fallon's work, how late-night shows have been adapting to the pandemic, and what the purpose of hosts asking questions on Twitter is. Check out what he had to say below.

Trump said I could vote for this more than once, but it won't let me

You don't even get mutant flipper children between first cousins... unless families keep marrying among cousins for several generations.
Load More Replies...Oh that's kinda sad, you had such a lovely time and then got a cold shower for desert!! Makes a great story though :)
My friend used to have a crush on her cousin before she found out they were related and he knew so when she confessed to him it was just a tiny bit akward
This is ridiculous. A relationship between cousins might be a bit weird, but it's not incest.
It's a good thing that you didn't cancel the date. He sounds like he has a good sense of humour.
Plot twist: she also couldn't figure out how to say no so she just ended up marrying him. Figured there was no way outta that. Welp, he saw me drool. I committed for life.

Helping out an older couple on the first date. That would actually be a good start.
Idk... she said older couple, that can mean 10 years older than them, not exactly elderly.
Load More Replies...According to Mike, Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, hosts like Fallon ask questions on social media to better connect with their fans. "TV hosts are sourcing material directly from social media because it’s a great way to engage with their audiences and stay connected with them," he said. "Each show has a staff of writers, so there’s no lack of content, but nothing can top the personal, and often very funny, contributions of the fans themselves."
For some viewers, the endless lockdowns seem to have taken some of the wind out of Fallon and other late-night show hosts' sails, removing a chunk of the energy and comedy from their work. However, Mike believes that the situation is quite the opposite. In his opinion, Fallon and the others have been doing brilliantly this past year, going as far as calling them heroes of sorts, while pointing out that it's natural for the hosts to have a different type of energy because they've had to adapt to the new normal like everyone else.
Lol. Imagine sitting down LL:Ms. Macober you are a month behind on your rent :)

Load More Replies...I would literally stand up and leave if an American tried to celebrate and gloat about the murder of my people. A lot of people might not realize but people like us who've lived in such places are equally human and don't deserve to become some weirdo's fantastical battleground.
This Native American agrees....We're still occupied 528 years later....
Load More Replies...My dad was killed in war defending our property, our home. I was more than three years together with a guy from the "enemy" country in that war. But I don't remember ever talking with him about any wars except for in the context when mentioning some basics about each of our families. Neither him nor me fought in the war (we were just kids back then) and it didn't really factor in our relationship
They had a get-together in DC the other day. You might've heard about it.
Load More Replies...Fist date and he know where you live !!!! And you don't Call police !!!!... Come on....
why downvote? he is right, there is some logic missing in this story...seems made up
Load More Replies...Hurray for gut feelings!! Always listen to them, no matter how awkward it makes a situation!
wow!!! that is illegal and he sounds obsessive... Why could he not leave a message??
"I commend the late-night hosts for soldering on during this months-long lockdown. So many people are isolated and alone now, and they are welcome and familiar faces we can safely bring into our homes. I would even say what they have been doing over the past several months has been somewhat heroic because it hasn’t been easy for them. They knew early on though, the need was there, and they stepped up to the challenge," the expert explained to Bored Panda.
"I think their material has been better than ever. Over the past year, there’s been a wealth of material in the news to utilize. The energy is there, but it’s a bit different. They’ve had to adjust to trying times and having no audience, but have done so admirably. What they’re doing is paying off in the ratings which have been stronger than ever. They’ve been providing much-needed comfort and familiarity that people are craving now."
lol This is the type of stuff you put your partner through after years together, not on a first date.
Everyone made (spelling edit) a valid point. Ummm. My sister, cousin, and mother are allergic to cat or dogs and my car seats are cloth..... I wouldn’t use it on them, but would appreciate if they did.
Load More Replies...why didnt he let you just sit and then after the date was over clean the car?
Fun fact: Hitler was neither blond nor blue-eyed and was born in Austria. Hate has no logic
Load More Replies...I married a guy who has African, Jewish, North American Indigenous, etc. He is dark complexion and has green eyes. I am brown eyed, brown haired and white European as they come. Both my kids have blonde hair and green/blue eyes. People are dumb.
In Germany there is saying: Blond like Hitler, tall like Goebbels and thin like Göring. Not really the aryan look a likes. ;)
Hitler is the opposite of blond and blue eyes. There is a saying in German: Blond like Hitler, tall like Goebbels and thin like Göring.
Never heard it. Is that a regional saying?
Load More Replies...My ex used to try and do that when I left a tip. He was ethically opposed to tipping (Europe, not US, but he was still a tight-ass). One of the many reasons he's an ex.
My friend´s boyfriend does this (middle Europe, but he´s from another country). But when he did that with MY TIP, I told him off.
What a weird thing to do, especially on a date. Because who on earth would find this behaviour ok??
WTF is wrong with her, and why didn't he say|do something?
A lot of us know Fallon from our TV, computer, and phone screens. However, the man’s more than just a comedian and a host. He’s also a loving dad of two girls, Winnie and Franny. Fallon also has a dog named Gary. He also admits that he forces his family to listen to holiday music all year round. Imagine the fun/horror!
The New Yorker’s also a very popular writer, having published hits like Your Baby’s First Word Will Be DADA, Everything Is MAMA, and This Is BABY. Most recently, he’s published 5 More Sleeps ‘til Christmas. Pleasantly surprised that Fallon has a literary side? So were we. But Fallon's books look like they're aimed at families—something that's difficult to build if all you can't move past your disastrous first dates.
At least he wasn't a farmer: He would have expected milk too...
Load More Replies...Veterinarian or veteran? Not that it would make a difference, but... context, lol?
Hopefully a veterinarian, because that’s the only way he’ll be anywhere near a pussy.
Load More Replies...Why was he even grabbing at you on a first date let alone in public!? Worryingly wrong!
Please, Dexter is much better at hiding his serial killer instincts than this! His wife went to her grave never suspecting a thing!
Load More Replies...Such sweet and thoughtful serial killer! Asked you for your preference before going ahead..
I’d rather stay home and eat breakfast (cereal) for dinner.
Load More Replies...Same, I used to love watching The Golden Girls with my mum.
Load More Replies...I had a neighbour that died in his sleep. I had to call the police for his girlfriend who woke up next to his cold body and was legitimatly to upset to be understandable for the operator. Diyng in a bed Can be gruesome... For the person you sleep with.
I dunno though, it's better that he got it out of the way at the very beginning. Would she rather she found out after dating him for several weeks?
Maybe more uh, third date? To tell someone that soon almost looks like they're presuming you'll have sex immediately
Load More Replies...Oh, poor man. He obviously liked you and was trying to be truthful from the start. Bless, he just blurted it out,probably very nervous.
:( ikr... Wouldn't call that the worst first date... I mean, it's best to be honest from the beginning ig, also as someone who's asexual, this wouldn't even matter to me
Load More Replies...Guess it had to be shared if you two were planning to cet anywhere... First date, while eating, talking about érectile dysfunction if thé subject pop out of nowhere... Pretty akward but I can't really bé upset about somone health issues and their akwardness when they share about it
I do not think that this is bad. He liked the girl and thought that it might lead, although maybe not on their first date, to a situation when it would be even more awkward having to talk about it. He wanted to get it off his chest and I cannot blame him for being honest, even if it was a bit blunt out of sheer nervousness. Media makes such a big thing out of sexuality that a man with erectile dysfunction might be under the impression that the girl could consider him as "not good enough". Surprise, you are a wonderful being, no matter what! I hope her reaction was nice and encouraging - after she managed to swallow the lettuce.
Probably got tired of waiting until later to reveal it then getting rejected. May as well talk about it early and save the hassle. An awkward conversation for a first date, but saves a lot of time and money dating if it's just not acceptable to the girl when she finds out in bed.
Well...it's kinda fair to bring it up early. Some women don't mind having non-penetrating sex.
Hitler is my hero. He killed Hitler to end the war.
Load More Replies...I would find them fascinating. To find "true believers" of Hitler are rare. To have them admit it openly is also rare. I want to know how they arrived at their conclusion. What made them think this way? I mean, I would never date them, but seeing the way their mind works would be darkly fascinating. Its like wondering what led the fans of serial killers to admire the serial killer.

Load More Replies...Looks like you dated the guy who wants blue-eyed Aryan children...
It's not the same guy that dated the German woman to habe blonde, tall, blue eyes kids.?
Or the one bragging about invading the country where his date was from.
Load More Replies...The only thing Hitler ever did right was ending his own life. I'm normally against the idea of killing oneself, but I'll make an exception for this one.
I see where Drew is coming from. My little nephew and niece refer to themselves by their first names. It isn't such a bad thing. You get used to it after a while.
Oh, Lord...it was a drug para charge...could have been something as mild as getting caught with a bong or joint papers....
Load More Replies...Urine need of a translator when it’s hard to understand his “stream” of words.
Load More Replies...Whoa... When you have kinks like that, maybe first kiss is a little early to share. Or maybe, try to date people that share tour fantasy to Bégin with? Saying that, i was once asked by a boyfriend to pee in his mouth instead of leaving thé bed for the bathroom, i think i know how Rob felt.....
Exactly. But sounds like he was too turned on to think
Load More Replies...I have mentally tried putting on three seatbelts for five minutes, so far unsuccessfully
i think it might have been a 3 point harness (racing seatbelts) but she didn't know how to call it
Load More Replies...You mean like race car harness seat belts, or he had three seat belts installed in his car? Because that may be the difference between eccentric weirdo and psycho.
Wow and I thought internet dating in the 2000s was full of weirdo creeps
Oh, no, the 80s was the cusp from way-out to weird and then to creepy (& then super creepy), all before the internet, cell phones, and mini-cameras...
Load More Replies...how on earth can you even have three seatbelts?? what did he do when he arrived where the calls were coming from...
Definitely do not murder the husband. He will probably be there when police respond to the call.
At least they let you know right away they were the blackmailing type... Nice to know you escaped the second date
It is not even blackmailing... It is litteral death threat.
Load More Replies...Anyone tried something like this, yell for help, get the staff over, and they need to revoke his membership once you are on the ground. Unsafe rock climbing in addition to the other problems here.
"rappel" for future reference. I hope that was also the last date. I hate blackmailers.
Eek, this reminds me of a weird first date I had when I was in my early 20's. The guy brought his mum with him to the restaurant, and she told me that if I had kids "by accident" she would be more than happy to look after them for me while I worked. I still shudder when I think about that evening!!
Mamma's allowing her pride and joy out to date, supervised, in order to have grandkids. Suuuuper healthy dynamic...jeez I'd shudder too, good thing the red flags were so strong the could do semaphore XD
Load More Replies...Why do these people exist? For one thing, he took you to a big family event for your first date. For another, he lied to his family. The red flags were strong with this one
I read it the wrong way and thought the same thing - that he introduced her *to* his long-term girlfriend not *as* his long-term girlfriend. I had to reread it to realize my mistake
Load More Replies...I once had a random guy come up to me to tell me "You're boobs are big." I said "I'm aware." and then he asked if he could touch them. I told him that he couldn't and then he just walked away. I still wonder what would have happened if I said yes - somehow I just picture him poking at them with a finger.
Someone told me to wear booty shorts and a low cut top because i’m EXTREMELY bad at detecting attraction....and I’d be able to know what kind of “man” they are (boob or butt)....I still didn’t catch them looking. Short time later, I just asked. They didn’t want to be disrespectful or make me feel uncomfortable...I dated them for six years after.
oh, and I dated them for a couple months before confirming that...we were in fact, interested in each other and it wasn’t just a platonically romantic friendship.
Load More Replies...Been there... Done that... In HIGH SCHOOL!! You would think that the jerks would realize that we KNOW how big our boobs are.
His head people, HIS, not hers. If the first thing he says to his date is some comment about her boobs, then, yeah, tiny head to hold his tiny brain. I'm hoping the downvoted were a misunderstanding
Load More Replies...I cant believe you stayed for five minutes, you must be very patient
On a first date the guy showed up in sandals, which is fine. His toenails were so long you could rake leaves with them.
This is fun when you've been dating a while, you find something specific to laugh at together and spend the day trying to find it on every art installation
That’s all my Instagram feed these days. Edit: fine art museums highlighting a painting with a nude subject. I kid you not.
Load More Replies...I agree, but he might have been extremely hard to get rid of.
Load More Replies...and then I went to LIVE in a cave? If this had happened to me, I would have went to DIE in a cave..
Load More Replies...what kind of person makes fun of someone for wearing a fancy suit? ew. he dodged a bullet there.
And on the second date he was debating who would get the kids in your subsequent divorce?
He may've been looking forward to walking her down the aisle for her third wedding.
Load More Replies...I once had a boyfriend that went on the same kind of trip after we slept together. We were together for a month, he was going to marry me (even though I didn't want to get married), and our wedding would bring my family together (I didn't want to get closer from the toxic part of my bloodline and still happy to be far from them 20 years later). I went to spend a WE by myself with the loving part of the family. I told him about the place of the family party and.... he was so please to surprise me by coming and introducing himself as my boyfriend and futur husband. I heard he still don't understand what went wrong between us (Yes, I told him what went wrong, just like I previously told him I would not marry anyone or that I was happy with my half family, or that I couldn't see him this WE because I was spending time with my family)
Red flag!!!! I'm single and have kids and that's terrifying!!! I will never date lol
I think this lady was offended by not being offered one more than anything
Invite someone home in first date? Surprised at how easy people let others into their houses.
Lucky your dead body wasn't found, days later, with your name written in chili sauce. Who let's someone in their house, let alone bedroom, on a first date?
Load More Replies...Who doesn't keep 3 chili dogs in their backpack I find that attractive 😂
acting like your Mum. why did you allow a first date back to your house and in your bed ??
Umm, yeah, is this not widely known? We have first unleaded parties to celebrate the first pour at age 16. Suits, grandparents, long drawn out picture sessions, cake, etc. it is a big deal in the south.
Load More Replies..."I stopped at a gas station because she said she never pumped gas before..." "...we stil need gas.". But. Do you need gas and did you stop, or did you stop because she told you so. Also never having pumped gas can be very real when you don't drive, but not being present while gas is being pumped? Right.
An adult that’s never pumped gas?! Isn’t that something you teach your kids when their little?
Illegal to pump it here if you aren't old enough to drive
Load More Replies...So yes, this is gross, but might actually be impulse control disorder, which is usually exacerbated by stress. If he was nervous then it was probably made worse. Poor guy! I hope this gets better for him!
You win the worst date award! Meth head face scabs on the table wins every time.
I reach a point in my life where I would have stop the date after the dinner. The details about skinning a deer, specialy when I'm eating, no way I'm going anywhere with him after that.
Never get in a car with a man you barely know. Take your won vehicle to the date.
I wouldn't have made it past dinner. I'm one of those "Dude! I'm eating!" People. Don't be nasty while I'm trying to eat food thanks.
Why you went so far as the movies I dont know... I would have gone by dinner..
Depends on where you live I guess. Where I come from it's usually dinner first, film later. I think because of the time the film screening starts, usually round 21:30-22:00 (that is 9:30-10 pm)
Load More Replies...Well, I don't find it weird at all. Every wife should know what kind of girl her husband is dating.
When my ex and I were separated, we lived in the same house, him upstairs and me downstairs. We didn't get divorced officially because of insurance. One night a girl comes to the door and asks for him, then asks who I am, "I'm his wife, technically - but I'm leaving for my date now..." I paused a moment, then said, "We are separated and both dating, so don't worry." Then couldn't help but laugh my ass off...
Tell him you only date vegetarians. Not going on a second date is no missed steak, you just dodged a bull(et). I’m going cold turkey next week. No puns for awhile.
Load More Replies...This is messed up on for so many reasons, but can we talk about how how he basically expected a ridiculously expensive gift on the first date?
He probably meant he was barred from buying a gun for some reason and wanted her to buy it in her name.
Load More Replies...Gat him a shotgun and shoot him (But DONT use a real bullet)
I reckon second date might have included you getting him near a park. 😖
It'd be fine, if he wasn't trying to do it to HER steak.
Load More Replies...I took a woman to a high-end steak house in the 1990's in honor of her completing her master's degree. She put ketchup on $75 prime rib. Ketchup.... on prime rib. People at neighboring tables were rolling their eyes in disgust at this troglodyte's disgusting behavior. So, I ruined my steak by putting ketchup on it and choked it down while maintaining eye contact with the neighboring eye-rollers. She married me anyway and now both of my daughters put ketchup on their steaks... at home because there's no way in hell I am paying that kind of money for a ketchup covered steak again.
Gosh, I LOVE it when men order dinner for me, in front of me. Like I cannot speak. I am a 52 yr old Biz Woman in a major US City.
Fair enough but even if you were in a job that wasn't high powered the man shouldn't do it. It's weird.
Load More Replies...He is the man, and you are the woman, so he knows what you want better than you do (for the record, it was sarcasm).
While her date was a patronizing jerk, I think it's wrong to vilify someone because they like a well-done steak or burger. I don't care for 'pink-in-the-middle steak. It actually makes me feel queasy. I like my steak or burger extra-well done and love me some A-1 sauce. I've had friends who acted shocked when I'd order my favorites, an extra well-done NY strip ir ribeye but it's my money, my preference.
Cooked meat is easier for humans to digest. A lot of people disagree with this and what you are used to eating can have a big impact. I'm also not talking about chemicals and anything else that cooking might do to food - https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/03/20/why-cooked-meat-is-easier-for-humans-to-digest-than-raw-meat/?sh=6e25d0eb7215
Load More Replies...If you like your steak above medium: "Yeah...this just isn't gonna work out.."
Ok, so he shouldn't have overridden her order, but: Must all humans like the same thing? Why this almost arrogance among people who like their meat rare? , I like it medium -to well done, but that is my preference, and I do not expect every other human on earth to have the same preference as me. PS Humans cannot properly digest raw meat. I get that are isn't raw, but still, stop making fun of people for wanting their meat well done.
True but people always seem to disagree. I mean eat your steak how you like but, it is a fact that meat is easier to digest for the majority of us omnivores if cooked thoroughly (not overcooked/burnt) than rare meat is. Not sure if it's just decades of celebrity chefs telling us how we should eat steak so that everyone feels affronted when hearing a different message alongside this not being taught in schools. I did learn about it in school, then again in catering college and finally when seeing a dietician because of my own health issues and I even double checked it just now in case new theories have sprung up and changed things as I've not been on the cooking scene for a while. They haven't. We'll probably both be downvoted for sharing facts that go against preferences. As someone with a compromised digestive system I know it pays me to cook things all the way through - done properly (because I'm a trained cook) it is still extremely tender and flavoursome.
Load More Replies...When I was in college, I lived in a student apartment with my husband and son. The neighbor was a young married couple (husband was a tight end on the football team.) We'd have neighborhood cookouts with burgers or steaks and she would always ask for hers well done, almost hockey puck style. When we would sit down at the table to eat our medium rare items, she'd get up and leave. She stopped coming to the cookouts after a while. Finally found out she becomes physically sick at the sight of anything bloody. We changed our cookout menus after that. Some people just can't handle it. Doesn't make them rude. But if this was the case for him, why take her to a steakhouse?
To be fair, that's how every date with my wife goes now. Only way to get through them!
You take hers or she takes yours? Wait, if it's that bad maybe it's time to call it a day.
Load More Replies...That was my 5th date. I met someone much better in bed that night. I have a new boyfriend.
Those places usually don't allow a single guy to come to them, they have to have a woman with them. So he probably just wanted her to get in, then didn't care if she left. (A friend used to work at those kind of places at the desk.)
I wonder... did that ever work? I mean, unless you meet them on a swinger app or something like that, what are the odds your first date arrive in this bar and go "youhou, my favorite bar!!" or "I was craving to try this type of activities!"?
Ah just out of curiosity, where was this club at? Asking for a friend.
He's not ready for the dating scene. I'm sure he's lonely, but no one should be subjected to this.
I had a date with a guy who's ex was Russian mail order bride. She was drop dead gorgeous, stayed married to him one year and then split. I know she was drop dead gorgeous because their wedding photos were all over his place still (after 2 years divorced) including a huge one over the bed.
I had a miserable (good) friend who would do that and mess up our entire nites out....
I assume you called him to let him know you were running late? If so, shame on him. If not, shame on you.
had a date with a guy for the movies. he stood back and expected me to pay for my own ticket. Then he sat two seats away.... last time I saw him....
I think that wasn't a date... just two people who told each other they were going to see a movie
I don’t understand why anyone in their right mind would bring a parent on a date
I had a blind date who brought his best friends, a married couple, with him. Without any warning at all. Neither of them were the person who set me up on the date. We met at the bar of the restaurant we were to have dinner at. I was already shocked to see the other people, and even more shocked when the wife started giving me the third degree, I guess she wanted to be sure I wasn’t much competition—-because she was clearly more attracted to, and possessive of, my blind date than her husband. Seemed like a nice enough guy, but I never got a chance to talk to him directly, as the wife continually ran interference. Since I didn’t agree to having a date with three complete strangers instead of the one I was expecting, plus the other woman dominating the whole evening, I finished my drink, begged off dinner, and left. Told the person who arranged the date what happened. Boy, were they pissed off he, and the other couple, pulled that s**t! I told them not to bother arranging another date.
Smart move. If you continued the relationship, you would be seeing a lot of this female person.
Load More Replies...I hope you told your friends sister and helped her dodge that bullet.
Sometimes I wonder if bad dates deliberately sabotage the evening because they don't care for the other person.
So, the guy might've been thinking "How much of this BBQ sauce do I have to eat directly out of the bowl before she leaves..."?
Load More Replies...I could actually be guilty of doing this someday . . . I LOVE BBQ sauce!
one time my brother got so hungry in the car he drank marinara sauce
How do you know whether he had health insurance or not?
Load More Replies...I dated this guy once, colleague from work ( I know, a no-go but I really liked him and I was leaving that firm anyway). He was great company at work : funny, helpful, intelligent, charming. But I found out about his gambling habits when we dated. Since he had no money for casino's, he played these games on his phone where you push buttons en see those slot machine thingies turn and turn and turn. And he played them endlessly ! Everywhere we were or went ! Nothing ever happend in those games !! It was just : click and turn, click and turn, click and turn.On and on and on. It did not went well with the relationship
im so confused ...she met him an hour before going on a date with him??....idk who the crazy one is
It's a way to get women to come to bars. Bar owners discovered that if they encouraged women to come to their bars, men would come.
Load More Replies...I think I understand why he was wrong : demanding a free drink only for himself instead of all the other men who were there was selfish.
@wandile dludlu ... Even in modern western countries woman are not treated as equals nowadays. So it is quite an pseudomacho incel move to pull the "discrimination" card at a ladies night event.
Yeah so ladies night was created to attract more women to bars in order to get men to go, who's being sexist here?
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree apparently.
Load More Replies...Sense of humor from mom and from him. I would wanted to get to know him better.
Right? I would love to date a girl that pulls that up.
Load More Replies...Before the date there was an 80s style montage at home of her coming out in various stripper outfits that he picked out. She's a Lady by Tome Jones plays in the background. They share a victorious high five after they found the perfect one.
Would never be a boring marriage, if it got that far. Love it?
Load More Replies...How do you confuse a date for a job interview? What is this persons profession?
What I gather is that it was a date, but she was being questioned the whole time so it felt like an interview. Hope this helps!
Load More Replies...This needs more info. Why did she think that, and what then happened.
How do you mix that up? Or do you mean just by how they asked questions?
Or, he was trying to be nice to your sister or whoever was there to make it seem like he's comfortable being on a first date with the whole family
Unless this was actually a date I don't see the problem with this one.
The worst part of that was having to listen to Jeff Dunham tell "jokes".
What kind of achievement is that. Is his job "A Proffesional Yelp Reviewer"
People really think something called Buffalo Wild Wings as an acceptable option for a first date? By that reasoning you could say, he should have asked. Or as I prefer, just stay a little on the safe side.
Load More Replies...Buffalo wild wings ranks right up there with McDonald's, and Hooters for a first date venue. Sorry guy.
That was my first thought, too. Having been a vegetarian for almost 30 years, I know for a fact that there are two kinds. And one kind is verrrrry high maintenance.
Load More Replies...As a longtime vegetarian, I honestly wouldn't care. Buffalo Wild Wings isn't the easiest, but most places have something. Steak houses actually have great side dishes. Honestly, I probably wouldn't even think to mention it beforehand 80% of the time. Even if I did, choosing a place that's easier would be more about showing interest/listening than anything else. I'm generally not off put by anything. Obviously, I can't speak for everyone. Some vegetarians/vegans are quite vocal in their preferences.
Probably, she lasted for date 1 LOL

If I am forced to sit that way, I will be uncomfortable and on edge for the entire meal. Whenever we go out, my husband always lets me pick my seat first knowing that I need to feel comfortable with my surroundings and then he sits in the vacant seat. He is so thoughtful!
Yeah, I always sit with my back to a wall. No experience of that nature, but I can’t be comfortable if I can’t see the door.
Load More Replies...Cycle shoes aren't bad, neither is having your back to the wall. making someone move is rude, and feet by food is a no-no... he just needed a little lesson in manners
A "little" lesson! And who takes their shoes off in a restaurant, or on a date unless you're at the beach!
Load More Replies...I honestly read that as "cycle shorts" at first, and it made this a very different story
I would go immediately to the bathroom and Google him. While I checked for ways to run away.
its a good idea to google your date to make sure they aren't convicted of any serious crimes
Good Lord - why do men imagine we are so fragile and delicate? I mean we grow other human beings in our bodies and push them out... Not fragile, not incapable, not less intelligent, not so many things so many men assume.
"have to" is the wrong part here. -and the only answer to it is; "the hell you say"
You don't wanna overdose on the Rolling Stones, you might end the date in hospital. (lol)
my dad had a rolling stones overdose and went into a coma for weeks this isnt a joke
Maybe Nancy drinks alcohol quite often and thinks someone who doesn't is not a match? I don't know. I don't drink much, so I'd totally join in the chocolate milk
Load More Replies...It would be a dealbreaker for me if someone I was interested in didn't like chocolate milk!
Load More Replies...What;s wrong with ordering chocolate milk? I would actually love itif my date did that.
He's been stuck in the basement so long, they didn't believe him when he said he has a date
My brother went on a group date in highschool to see Titantic. My mom brought me (I was like 12) and we sat a few rows back to keep an eye out on him. It just resulted in her loudly saying my crush was there with his group and couldn't understand why I got mad and went down a few seats from her. Telling of what kind of person my mom is...
There is a certain order to things here fellas. First date to get to know them. Second date to find out if the first date was a fluke. After a few more, then the parents can meet her. The only ONLY way you can skip the line is if you say outright "My parents are having a dinner party this weekend. Would you like to go?" Give her the option to not meet the parents right now. That being said...if you've been dating her for a few months and she still refuses to meet the parents...consider it a red flag.
There are actually people on those dating sites that go on dates just for the meal...especially if the other person offers to pay.
Please consider that he may have had an exhausting day, but didn't want to be so rude as to back out on the date at the last minute. I would have nudged him awake and told him "If you are super tired, we don't have to stay." That would have given him an out, would have preserved his integrity and would have probably resulted in a better second date.
I saw Star Wars back in...2003 or whenever ...and I fell asleep.
If she was afraid the ambulance was stolen why did she agree to go with him? Also no better car to rape someone than an ambulance.
😫😫 he knows where she lives. Sometimes we have to be polite and tank a date instead of outright declining/rejecting someone. Not me. I look like a hobbit. I’m no good on a date, but if you want an adventure or second lunch....
Load More Replies...Can you even "borrow " an ambulance ? I thought the next crew just took them over at the start of the next shift
No, no you cannot. Even if it’s not taken by the next crew, it’s kept at the base as a backup just in case. I’ve been in EMS a long time.
Load More Replies...What other kind of man did you expect ? It was at the Andy Warhol Museum !
I would say both people may be at fault here, although it is difficult to tell without details.
Still, it was better to straight up tell him she want out (or more politely, something urgent came up) and then walked out, not leaving him hanging like that. He may have reported her missing to the police. And being equivalently rude to a rude guy just proves they were not much different.
Nah, some guys go snakey and don't handle rejection well, so it's up to a woman if she wants to avoid that drama. Escaping without notice is sometimes the safer choice. It was also a first date where dude was being incredibly rude, so she owed him nothing. I'm sure he was fine, and figured it out on his own. I guarantee, he was not going to go report her to the police, nor would they have taken the call. She was his date, not his child.
Load More Replies...That is a lot of judgement. Maybe he was compensating for being very nervous to be on a date. And also. Since we're here. *an. If you don't like someone, you don't get on any dates anymore. But don't bash them to make yourself feel good about being rude.
Yes, this is a lot of judgement, on your part. She ws the one being there, she experienced it, yet you judge her based off on a short tweet.
Load More Replies...But then you can't get the warning if he starts to get really creepy... I had a situation kind of like this and wanted to rather know what he was thinking on doing next

I block random people on the internet all day just for saying dumb s**t like the earth is flat, and you wouldn't block someone harassing you all night
Which is why you also have cards linked to your phone... just in case
Depending on when this date took place, that might not have been possible. When I first started dating, it was uncommon for someone to have a "mobile phone," and having credit cards linked to them wasn't even an option.
Load More Replies...Uh, yeah, it doesn't matter who pays, but to show up with no money at all is embarrassing and forcing the other person (man or woman) to pay, is rude. Obviously it's an accident and no big deal, but still embarrassing
Load More Replies...I married my last two husband's who took to McDonald's on the first date :) lol that sounds horrible but it's what i wanted. Still married to the second one
Very superficial to dismiss a person because of a slightly unfortunate food choice. It is similar to ditching a guy because he wears white socks or whatever.
I am sure she was thinking about the breath, not the food choice.
Load More Replies...Maybe he wasn't attracted to you, and ordered the sandwich to ensure you didn't try to kiss him.
This... honestly doesn't seem like the worst of first dates. People are allowed to like sardines.
Meeting someone new on a first date? Impress her with your dead fish breath. That should go over well.
Karma stepped in on a similar situation. My friends date loves anchovies. So we spent the better part of the date trying to figure out which half of the pizza was tainted with the little oily buggers. Fast forward to the end of the meal and there are 3 slices of pizza left. While my friend is talking, her date is trying to slide the remaining pizza to a pizza box..only to have it flip over and land cheese side down on his pants. Needless to say he smelled like anchovies the rest of the night.
Jimmy Fallon said this to himself and it's literally the second to most downvoted one here lol
The movie is about a girl being kidnapped. She is kidnapped after agreeing to go on a date.
No. She was kidnapped after she arrived at a friend's town home while traveling abroad. There was friendly talk about a party from one of the traffickers on the street but no date.
Load More Replies...If movies were a sign of a good date, then what would you consider if I told you the first movie my husband took me to when we were dating was "Ernest Goes to Jail." (And I loved it!)
I don't know anything about hockey but I still enjoyed Slap Shot; anything with Paul Newman and I'm sold. I'm not sure how that constitutes the "worst date ever". Also, the Lakers are basketball not hockey, why did she need to mention her dad bought them too?
Reminds me of the time I was in my first college class listening to a girl behind me complaining to her friend how her dad bought her a BMW instead of the Mercedes she wanted. I turned around and said "My first car was a heavily used 4-door "71 Nova. Faded blue. And I didn't even own it..it was in my father's name. Be grateful he bought you something with 4 wheels that gets you from Point A to Point B."
To those who commented aboutt this: She mentioned something .... She didn't brag.
I went on a date with a guy who showed up 15 years older and 5 stone heavier than the pics he sent me and then proceeded to try and impress me with stories about when he was in the police 10 years earlier. He then tried to explain my phd to me even though he knew nothing about the subject, and told me he thought intelligent women were "difficult". He then told me I should have dressed sexier (it was an afternoon coffee date) and could I open a couple more buttons on my shirt so that he could see "what he would be getting". I got up and walked out. He had seemed so nice when we had chatted for the previous couple of weeks! It was my one and only online date... I deleted the app as soon as I got home!
It's startling how different people can be in person from how they are in a text chat.

Came back to 20 messages, every message angrier than the one before. Telling me that I'm a b*tch for ignoring him. He even blocked me. I returned the favor and was done with it. 1 day later I get a message from him on ANOTHER WEBSITE (!!!) saying how hurt he was but HE was willing to give ME another chance. Blocked him there too.

Amelija Janavičius, is a troll with a stolen pic. This type of deranged person takes glee in aggressive comments and stirring abuse from others.

Load More Replies...Bad date story #1 - We met online and agreed to meet for coffee at 11AM downtown (I was thinking that if we hit it off, we could do some sightseeing downtown, if not, we could just part ways) and he showed up with a packed suitcase because he was going to stay the weekend with me. I noped right out of that and he got mad because he already told his roommate that he wouldn't be back for a few days.
That guy was delussionnal and ballsy
Load More Replies...This was not me, but related from a woman I knew. Went out to dinner on a first date. Didn’t really hit it off, but the guy wanted to come in. She was firm and told him no. Later in the night she hears what sounds like someone in her house. She locked herself in her bathroom, called 911. When they showed up, the guy from the date had broken into her house, and they found him in the basement, with a tarp laid out on the floor, with rope next to it. And he had a large knife in his hand when they found him. It was found later that he had killed and raped 2 other women. It was chilling to listen to.

Load More Replies...I got more than one good story: #1: Guy wanted to meet me so badly, he came although he was sick. 15min in and we were walking down the street when he suddenly threw up right in front of me. Felt so sorry for him, that I told him I'd go on a second date when he'll feel better. He refused. Instead told me how ashamed he was to be "a male nurse" which nobody calls it in german anymore (Krankenpfleger translates into something like Caregiver for the ill or something). Made fun of me reading mangas, saying he "doesn't understand why I would pay so much for something you throw away after reading." Asked him if he throws away books, DVDs or games away too after reading, watching or playing them once. *facepalm* Continued to have bad conversations until I found the next subway station and couldn't get on the one home fast enough. He had tears in his eyes when he realized how much he f****d up.
Had one who went on a great length about how "slavery probably wasn't that bad". His argument being, noone who was a slave in the US is alive to say what happened. Reports from the time could be skewed for political reasons. And anyways, slaves were expensive, it wouldn't have made sense to treat them TOO badly. 😳 No second date needed.
Worked with a guy that wanted to date me for years, finally gave in so he took me to get sushi (my first time) for my birthday.
