Not every date is going to be a dream come true, but some first dates are truly waking nightmares. Twitter user @iCanHash recently started the hashtag #AFirstDateBecomesTheLastWhen for @HashtagRoundup, and hundreds of users have eagerly shared what they consider to be the biggest dating deal breakers. Whether you've experienced these faux pas for yourself or not, I think it's pretty likely that you'll agree with most of these hilarious tweets about bad first dates. From the awkward to the rude to the just plain wrong, there are many ways in which a date can offend, so if you haven't had a terrible first tryst like these Twitter users, consider yourself lucky.
Not everyone agrees that it's unwise to give a bad first date a second chance. TBH, there weren't many sparks flying on my first outing with my now-husband. But then again, even though we didn't totally hit it off, he also didn't pull any of the stunts that some Twitter users have experienced. It may be worth following up with a date after a mediocre first encounter. However, if your date is as disastrous as it was for these folks, then you may to delete that contact from your phone.

This Lack Of Communication
If we run out of things to talk about before we even get our entrees, then we don't need to talk about the possibility of a second date.
This Impawsible Opinion
Again, I may be biased here, but if you don't like dogs, then there's no way I can like you.
This Costco Cop-Out
Honestly, this doesn't sound like the worst date in the world, but if you don't plan to ever spend any money on our dates, then we probably shouldn't plan on spending any more time together.
This Monotonous Monologue
If you need me, I'll be over here staring at my phone while you continue talking exclusively about yourself.
