11 jokes anyone who has been on a terrible first date will find funny
Awkward/terrible/unbearable first dates are a right of passage. We all have at least one story to tell. (Unless you’re one of those insanely lucky people who meets their soul mate after one date and never has to swim into the murky waters of the dating pool… but we’ll just ignore your existence for now.)
Well, misery loves company, and the following tweets about horrible first dates will remind those of us on that prowl for a mate that we are not alone.
