Hilarious First Date Disasters People Shared With Jimmy Fallon

Going on a first date can be pretty nerve-wracking. You put on your best clothes, use your best perfume, and do your best to show up on time so you can make a good first impression. However, things may not always go according to plan. Bad dates do happen, and they are something that happens to most people at least once in their lives.

Twitter user @Uber4Chocobos recalled how she once went on a date with a guy (a full-grown adult!) who freaked out and called his mom when he found out that they were going to see an R-rated movie.

It’s great to date someone who enjoys spending time with their family, but what would you do if your date loves their family so much that they see no problem with bringing their parents with them on your first date?

In a scene straight out of a horror movie, Twitter user @Cwools249 told Fallon that she once dated someone who had a dead body in the back of his car. As it turns out, the guy she agreed to go on a date with worked as a funeral director.

Sharing food can be a great way to bond with your date. You can order one dish, and your date can order another. Then, you can both try out each other’s orders. What could possibly go wrong?

Honesty can be a great thing, especially when you’re going out with someone you just met. When Twitter user @rktaylor628’s date thanked him for a wonderful evening, he replied by saying that he didn’t have anything else to do. While this may be true, it’s probably not a good idea to be this honest on a first date.

What’s worse than being stood up by your date? Maybe having your date call you by a different name! @ChrisMillhouse’s date clearly wasn’t thinking straight when she accidentally called him “Tom.” To make matters worse, she did it while she was introducing him to 10 of her friends!

If you’ve ever wondered why some people put tape over their laptop or phone cameras, this is because some people believe that the government is secretly listening in on their conversations and spying on them through these devices.

For some people, intellectual compatibility can make or break a relationship. While people in a relationship don’t need to have similar IQs to be considered intellectually compatible, it does help if their intellects can complement one another.

@AlidaBanh’s experience was both embarrassing and incredibly painful. She accidentally stubbed her toe while walking into the bar to meet her date, resulting in a trip to the ER when she soon realized that her shoe had filled with blood.

When sending a text to a friend while on a date, you should always make sure that you’re sending the message to the right person. Better yet, you probably shouldn’t even be texting anyone at all! Your date deserves your full attention, even if the date isn’t going as well as you had hoped.

This poster had a gut intuition that they followed and it ended up being horrifyingly correct. According to Helene, she had a feeling that her date might be too “keen.”

This poor woman had to en-deer some pretty gruesome chit chat over dinner with her bad date. Who wants to talk about skinning animals over dinner??

Nothing more romantic than sitting down with a date and splitting a bottle of wine amongst yourself. It helps loosen us up and get the conversation flowing.

You know what’s worse than a person who won’t stop talking about themselves? A person who won’t stop talking about themselves in third person. Kind of creepy, right?

Poor Sarah. She got all dressed up for her date with what she presumed was a grown man, only to discover to had to agreed to dinner with a caveman. What a waste of perfume.

Apparently, Man Like Mack’s date saw the opportunity to make some quick cash from her date. If he paid, she’d pocket the cash. It is kind of amazing he said nothing when she did, truly a gentleman.

This poster got way more than she bargained for when she agreed to go on a date with this wild ride of a dude. Not only did he get sloshed on their date, but worse still, invited himself somewhere he was not invited.

This date sounds incredibly nauseating and it is difficult to imagine how one would be able to maintain their composure let alone their appetite. This woman had to watch her date pick at his skin and then flick the content onto the table.

Blind dates are already awkward enough. Imagine first that you walk into a blind date and already know the person, pretty uncomfortable. Imagine next that the person you have to sit through dinner with is your landlord. Okay, now it’s pretty bad.

We’re sure exactly no one likes someone speaking over them to dictate what they like and don’t like. It is pig-headed to assume that you would know someone better than they know themselves.

Asking someone you don’t very well how they want to die is a little strange, but permissible. It was the man’s follow-up that left the original poster with a guttural fear and general feelings of ick.

There is something Mary Poppins-esque about your date reaching into their backpack and pulling out not one, not twi, but three chili dogs. However, the magic quickly fades when none of that chili-magic comes your way.

While we don’t blame the man for trying to get a potentially crucial romantic detail out of the way, this seems like a strange way to drop the news. Perhaps it could have been done with more grace.

Art is to be appreciated and make us feel something, but what if all it makes you feel is the giggles? Such is the way of Haley’s date.

There is something particularly eerie and weird about Meredith’s date with a chap who seemed a little too keen on violence. That would be enough to make a person do a double take, but what followed was even worse.

It is unclear why a man would bring his wife on a first date, did he try and sneak her into the rendezvous? Are they a package deal?

Imagine meeting a blind date and being essentially kidnapped to their family event. This in and of itself is jarring and weird to do to someone. But it somehow gets worse!

When this poster, Carol, gets frustrated with her husband, she harkens back to a darker time, on a date with a man who had very strange notions of what a date even is.

We would be actually terrified if we went on a date with a man who tried to claim our children as his own. It takes time for parents to introduce partners to their children, a first date claiming them as their own is creepy!

For those of us in the know with pop culture, we’ll remember the villain of the film Psycho who had an unhealthy relationship with his mother (to put it mildly.)

There is this word that gets thrown around a lot and for good reason. That word is “consent” and it is deeply important. So when Kelly went on her first date, it is clear she did not consent to what came next.

Lateness happens, it comes with the territory of being a human being. Of course, we shouldn’t be late as much as we can. If someone is chronically late, perhaps that is a reason to completely blow someone off.

This time around, it was our poster who made the faux paux. Apparently, Ember spoke too soon, and decided to give her date a little light ribbing.

We all have our special traits and things that make us our own unique individual. Some people have never smoked, some have traveled a lot, and some have never pumped gas. Wait–what?

There are a few things wrong with Lucille’s date conversation. The first one is not such a big deal. Math is not a language…so there’s that.

There are few things worse than a man holding your ability to touch the ground over your head (?) in order to force you into a second date. And yet, here we are.

Getting back into the dating pool is hard after the end of a relationship. It takes time to ease back in, we need to lick our wounds and heal our hurt hearts. Though some of us jump in before we are ready.

There is no reason on earth that someone needs to ask a relative stranger to buy them a weapon without it being sketchy and weird. Not one.

To be fair, this bad date is kind of hilarious and it seems it was more of a misunderstanding and lack of communication more than anything else.
