#DatingFails: It is a total minefield, and Twitter knows ALL about it

May 22, 2017

Let's face it, there are few among us who haven't endured a woeful date.

Whether it was a blind date, a first date or 'not even sure if this is a date' date, navigating the scenario as it unfolds can be agonising at best and soul-destroying at worst.

Thankfully, Twitter knows how to own their own hideous experiences, and have no qualms about sharing them with the wider world.

And here are just some of our favourites…

Ah, now.

@Andy @LoveConnection #DatingFail
I once went on a blind date set up by a friend. Agreed to meet at his place. He got so high he forgot I was even there!

Of course, he was.

@Andy @LoveConnection 1st date-Went back to his place to watch movies after dinner & I fell asleep. I woke up & he was watching porn! #DatingFail #LoveConnection

No, he did NOT.

@Andy @LoveConnection After drinks, asked if I wanted dinner. I declined, he poked me in the belly said "like you don't want anything to eat" & went for a high 5.

It's important to stay informed.

I haven't kissed anyone in over a year and now I'm searching wikihow to make sure I remember how #dating #relationships #datingfail

He's probably just locked in, babes.

@Andy @LoveConnection While on a date at a movie I went to the "bathroom" I actually left haven't seen him since!

The classic 'no offence' move.

"Don't take it personally."

You had one date with me and have now sworn off dating. I AM TAKING IT PERSONALLY.#datingFAIL #wineoclock
