Dating disasters!

Those of you who keep a keen eye on Twitter may be aware of the tweet that Rhodri Marsden sent on Tuesday night detailing a disastrous date he'd been on. This confession led to an explosion of similar first date tales from other tweeters yesterday, a few of which we've detailed below.

'I went on a bad date in 1999, where I heard myself say 'Yes, the internet - it's the future.'

'On my last date the guy had a pet WOODEN giraffe who had his own Fbook page. His name was Sebastian. (The giraffe).

'One gentleman took me to the pub car park to show me his motorbike. He revved it for about ten minutes then did a lap and drove off.'

'My mate had a date with a man who did oil paintings. Which would have been OK, but they were ALL of the cast of 'The OC'.'

'I went on a date once with a woman who showed me 25 photos she'd taken of Sylvia Plath's grave as a conversation opener.'

We're pleased to announce that we haven't heard any similar stories from the lovely folk on MSF!
