Jimmy Fallon reads his favorite tweets with the hashtag #AwkwardDate. Jimmy’s painfully honest audience tweeted their awkward dating experiences to share with us – or as therapy. Either way, it’s entertaining in a voyeuristic way. These are experiences of such utter misery as to induce squirming – and perhaps the jogging of one’s own memory. If these stories don’t ring a bell with you, consider yourself blessed – and smart enough to have avoided blind or otherwise horrible dates. When you realize how random it all is, it’s a miracle any of us are here at all!
I particularly liked the squirm quotient of 120 minutes of pinkie stroking with a stranger in a dark cinema. Thank your lucky stars they don’t do double features anymore!
Do you have any memorably awkward dates to share? I’m waiting for one to bubble up from memory where I know several are festering just out of range, so as not to induce screaming.
