50 “Worst First Date” Stories That People Submitted For Jimmy Fallon’s Challenge
“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.

At least they let you know right away they were the blackmailing type... Nice to know you escaped the second date

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!!

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.

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

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.

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 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?

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.

#2: Other guy told me how his ex that he barely even dated got pregnant and decided to keep the baby even though they broke up without telling him and how much she f****d up his life. Kept going for an hour. Didn't understand why I didn't want to go on another date. #3: Dodged a bullet. Guy from dating site was convinced we were meant to be after reading my profile. I didn't think so. He tried to persuade me but didn't work. He was nice though... until then. I left the computer for ~2 hours and left the site open. 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.

Got some! One date: guy took me on a cementery, because he was convinced that all people that wear black clothes likes those climates. He also gave me a pedobear pin, because "it reminds me of you". Never spoke to him again. Second date: took me on a date to insult me all night and telling me how better he is, because he's a house seller 🙄 Third date: I was invited to a date in cinema. Turned out it was a "date" with a bunch of workers from my previous job, because they also wanted to see the movie 🤣

Amelija Janavičius, is a troll with a stolen pic. This type of deranged person takes glee in aggressive comments and stirring abuse from others. Please can we let this poor poor person know that they are loved because they are most likely missing this in their real off line life, hence the need of attention through miss behaviour. So to whoever you may be know we are here for you.
