Every week, The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon challenges his Twitter followers to share their worst first date experiences with a hashtag. It’s always entertaining, and people seem to have a great time sharing their stories.
Some of these dates are downright embarrassing. They make you wonder how much he cared about her.
The Girl Was Too Friendly
In honour of Jimmy Fallon’s legendary #WorstFirstDate hashtag challenge, Twitter users are sharing their own worst first date stories with the world. This time, they’ve uncovered some genuinely whacky scenarios, which are a lot of fun to read.
In many cases, being too nice is the wrong way to go about things. It can be a sign of over-infatuation or even shyness on the part of the person you’re dating, according to relationship expert Jennifer MacLean.
The Guy Spilled a Drink on His Crotch
We hope nothing embarrassing happens on our first date with a new person. That could ruin the whole relationship.
However, that isn’t always the case. Countless people have experienced a series of horrendous first dates.
The latest line-up is a video of a man from China setting his crotch on fire after spilling flaming alcohol. In the gruesome footage, the unidentified lad lights a cigarette from a glass of flaming liquid before accidentally tipping it onto his trousers, which instantly catches fire and engulfs the area between his legs in a fiery blaze.
He then jumps up from the floor and screams in agony as flames engulf his crotch. He is soon joined by a friend who smacks the victim in the crotch to extinguish the fire. It’s a genuinely terrifying moment (via Nature World Today).
The Girl Forgot What He Looked Like
When you’re out on a first date, inputting your phone away is a good idea. It’s rude to be staring at your screen while you’re with someone else, making you look disinterested.
This guy did just that. He took her to dinner and then left without saying anything.
Luckily, she was so enveloped in her phone that she didn’t even realize he wasn’t there. But that’s not the only embarrassing moment on this first date.
He also asked if she was on her period because he could smell it. That’s a red flag and a sure sign that he’s probably not the right guy for her.
The Guy Elbowed Her In The Face
We all hope our first date goes perfectly and the person we’re going out with genuinely likes us. However, we also know that not everything will go smoothly.
It’s not uncommon for a first date to become a disaster, especially when both parties are in a bad mood or distracted.
The woman in this story is lucky to get out of her situation alive, as she had one of the worst first dates ever.
This guy elbowed her in the face, which is not a flattering or loving move for any guy to make on a first date. It’s a sign that she doesn’t deserve his time and is better off dating someone else who will treat her right (via Nature World Today).
The Girl Was in a Family Emergency
The first date is always nerve-wracking, but it’s even more so when you’re meeting someone for the first time. The worst part is you don’t know whether the person you’re with is a good match for you. One in three people says they’ve had a bad first date experience.
Fortunately, there are ways to make your first date memorable. For instance, a sparked-up blunt is the best way to impress a lady, and some websites will help you find the perfect match. The best part is that you don’t have to be a genius. It can be as simple as opening a dating app on your phone and logging in to your account. This is a great way to meet someone new without any hassles that come with trying to figure out who you are and where you’re going.
The Guy Asked Her to Kiss Him
A first date can feel nerve-wracking and even a little bit awkward. But sometimes, a kiss is the perfect way to start your relationship off on the right foot.
Many people like to kiss on their first dates because they want to see if there’s any physical chemistry between them. Others may prefer to wait until they know the person better before going any further in their relationship.
If you’re unsure if your date wants to kiss you, one of the best ways to tell is by making eye contact with them. This will show them that you are interested in them and are willing to be affectionate with them.
The Girl Laughed at Him
You might not think that a first date can be the worst thing ever, but plenty of stories out there make us shudder. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, you’ll probably have at least one hideous first date experience to share with friends.
If your date laughs at you, it could signify that she doesn’t want to be around you. She may also feel nervous or out of her league, which is just an awkward situation for both of you.
This Reddit user had a wrong first date that went downhill quickly. It didn’t help that his date kept talking about her sister, who tried to kill herself a few hours before their date.
The Guy Felt Itchy
The Tonight Show’s annual #worstfirstdate hashtag challenge has Twitter users sharing their very best first-date stories in full force. Countless of these have been tweezed into a few good ol’ fashioned shorts, but a few stand out as the most notable. These include the stoop mentioned above, the tritest and the baffling omissions that should have never been left in the first place.
We can’t claim credit for this one. This has to go to our favourite Twitter user whose name rhymes with octopus. The best part about this story is that she told it with such gusto that her date had no choice but to take the bait. The rest is history. Luckily she has her best friends to keep the magic going for a while. It’s a good thing she was the guinea pig in this case; otherwise, she might have been on the wrong side of the table.
The Girl Went To Her Watering Hole
If you’ve ever been on a first date, you know that it can be a lot of fun. It’s also an excellent opportunity to check out a person’s personality.
But sometimes, your first date goes completely wrong. That’s precisely what happened to this Reddit user.
This girl had a plethora of red flags. Not only did she get lost on her way to dinner, but she also forgot what he looked like.
She ended up wasting her entire date looking for him. Even though she was frustrated and confused, it was a pretty hilarious experience (via Nature World Today).
The Two Guys Went to the Movie Theater
Ever since The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon introduced the #worstfirstdate hashtag challenge, countless stories about horrible first dates have made their way onto the Internet. Some are hilarious, while others make you want to go out with a bat and never return (or at least that’s the impression I got from reading them).
It turns out that bringing your date to the movie theatre on your first date is not the most romantic thing to do. In a recent survey of Reddit users, going to the movie theatre was ranked as one of the worst first-date ideas.
