Unless you've really struck gold, first dates tend to be rather unpleasant experiences. Far from being the dimly lit romantic encounters that you see on the big screen, the majority of cases only result in reminding you of just how many people there are that you don't click with. But, we live to tell the tale, and they certainly make for some amusing stories to tell your friends over drinks...

Now, the people of the internet are taking to Twitter to share their worst first date experiences, and boy do they make celibacy seem enticing.
