Dating is kinda hard, let’s be honest. In addition to requiring much effort and persistence, sometimes, you end up literally just wasting your time. Moreover, when you go on a first date with someone, things can get a bit weird. For that reason, American TV host Jimmy Fallon, organized a ”worst first dates” hashtag challenge. Twitter reacted well to the idea, and people shared their worst first dates. Here are 7 of the most hilarious ones we thought of sharing with you!
Blind Dates
Blind dates are really complicated. Like, you don’t know anything about how the other person may turn up to be. It’s basically preparing yourself for the unknown. Hey, sometimes they actually do workout, but other times…Oh well!
In college, a friend set me up on a blind date. I wasn’t in a great mood because I had received a traffic ticket a few hours before. My day got worse when my blind date turned out to be the cop who gave me the ticket.

I met a girl for a blind date once. She didn’t say a single word throughout dinner, finished her meal and walked out. I then checked my phone and there was a msg from the girl saying she couldn’t make it tonight… Who the hell did I eat with!?

Went to the guy’s place so he could cook for me. As he was chopping vegetables, a cockroach scurried across the kitchen floor. He calmly asked me to step on it.

Getting Stood Up
Finally, getting stood up, wether before or during the date is just sad. However, some people actually got to laugh about it, and they even shared them on the internet.
My date let me out of the car to wait on the curb while she parallel parked. after 3 failed attempts she drove off. I walked home.
