‘People Tell Me I Look Like James Franco’: Live-Tweeting One Of The Most Laughably Bad First Dates Ever

If you’ve ever had the fortune — albeit at the expense of another person’s misfortune — to be within an earshot of a bad first date, then you already know what a highly entertaining experience this can be. I’ll never forget the best/worst date I ever encountered. It was about 10 years ago at a sushi place, and some poor lady got stuck with this pompous dork who didn’t stop bragging about himself the entire time, yet looked like he lived solely on a diet of Mountain Dew and Slim Jims when he wasn’t impressing the dames with sushi.

At one point she excused herself to actually take a 10 minute phone call and at the end of the date, he took off in a red sporty small-penismobile. I would bet everything in my bank account that guy is still single today.

If you’ve never had the firsthand pleasure of being a fly on the wall for someone’s bad date yourself, however, then you can live vicariously through writer Anne Thériault, who captured this trainwreck of a first date by live-tweeting it as it went down at a coffee shop in Toronto last week.

Laugh, because it’s not you.

I have to feel a little bit bad for the dude, since these tweets are going viral and he’ll probably figure out they’re about him eventually. Oh well. On the plus side maybe he can mine a really good screenplay out of his pain?
