30 Of The Worst First Date Stories People Shared For Jimmy Fallon’s Hashtag Challenge
Let’s face it, first dates are never easy. They usually follow at least 12 outfit changes and pep talks from your friends in hopes that this time, you'll definitely meet someone who holds the prospect of becoming "the one." You go in with sweaty palms and a pounding heart to navigate the rough waters of first impressions, small talk, expectations, insecurities, and a whole lot of awkward moments. You could potentially meet your one true love, after all. Or leave with a new nightmarish story to tell.
See, while every singleton has their own deal-breakers and deal-makers, a string of non-negotiable faux pas stand right at the top of the don'ts list. And when things don't go as planned, you're sometimes left with a total disaster. So when Jimmy Fallon tweeted "It's Hashtags time!" and asked everyone to share their "funny or embarrassing first date story," the thread immediately became a hit.
Today, we’re taking a deep dive into some of the weirdest, silliest, and most hilarious #WorstFirstDate scenarios, and you know it’s gonna be good. Buckle up, scroll down, upvote your favorite tweets and share your own painfully hilarious experiences in the comments. For even more entertainment, be sure to check out our previous pieces on recent Fallon challenges here: #AddAWordRuinAProduct, #WhyImSingle, and #WorstSummerJob.

No made up story was required; that's straight up rude and assault but whatever you need to do to get the heck out of there!

Yes, it's true. No one would ever love you like she would. That's the point.

"Titanic" got me crying at the middle of the movie. Because it was only the middle of the movie.

Google translate must be much better at Portuguese than it is with other languages.

He got a kiss on his first date though... I don't think a little accident warrants worst date. He sounds like an a*s.

I have had so many, but these two come to mind: we met online and agreed to get together in person for Thai food. He caught a ride to the restaurant and after dinner asked if I would drop him off at home, and since it wasn't too far out of my way and we hit it off, I didn't mind. Then it was, could we stop at the pharmacy and pick up a prescription? I stopped. That was fine and took two minutes. Then, could we stop at the grocery store, he needed to pick up a few things? I needed a few things, too, so I said I guess we can. Then he listed off four more places he wanted me to take him and wait. I turned to him and calmly explained that I was taking him home NOW and to give me the address. He kept trying to convince me to run errands with him, and when I said no, he got angry. Finally, I said that I would take him. When we got to the next place, I said I would wait in the car while he ran in. As soon as he went inside, I set all of his bags out on the curb and drove away.

My worst date: He told me he was out on bail for beating his wife but not to worry, he was a really great guy! It’s just that she made him so mad. I pretended I had a migraine to leave then blocked him.

I have a few! 1.: not my date. Seen at restaurant: girl went to washroom, meanwhile server brought check to the guy, he glanced at total and was like "could you take this bill back for now and bring it when girl will be back to the table?". Once girl comes back, he immediately jumps to washroom, server brings her bill to pay... she was like... "let's wait till both of us be by the table". I was an AH and told her whats the deal, she was visibly shocked as it was their first date (blind date), she expected to split the bill, not cover full two steaks and bottle of wine... Ultimately server brought bill 3rd time when both of them were present at the table. The guy was visibly disappointed :D btw they were in their late 30s, well dressed.... not broke students for sure.

I've not been on many dates- why don't people work out who is paying beforehand?
