Everyone gets nervous going into their first date with someone new, which can lead to some pretty unsettling moments and some pretty unusual stories.
Whether the date takes place in a movie theater or at the fanciest restaurant in town, there's still a chance for something to go terribly awry. We've all probably had our fair share of unfortunate dates, but the poor folks below definitely take the cake when it comes to bad luck with romance, sharing their disastrous tales on Twitter with the hashtag #WorstFirstDate.
Honestly, I thought I had seen the worst with my ex who always made me pay for our meals and had a habit of standing me up, but he was not nearly as bad as some of these daters.
