As nerve-racking as first dates can be for some, there's really not a whole lot required to having a successful one. The whole "be yourself" thing may sound trite, but by and large, it works. Unless of course you're a pompous, egotistical douchebag - then definitely don't be yourself.
On July 3rd, Toronto blogger Anne Thériault found herself witnessing one such fellow, on what was assumedly a first date with a girl. The meet-up was a disaster from start to finish - even though he probably thought he was killing it - so naturally, Thériault live tweeted the whole thing.
It starts off really well. And by "well," I mean horrible.
"But enough about me. Let's talk about you...but just for a minute - and only as long as it has to do with me."
He likes to think of himself as a multi-faceted snob. It's not just writing, it's everything.
The key to relationships is making the other person feel really, really small. Er, wait...
Man, where does a girl sign up?
Finally, the girl has had enough. Getaway plan hatched.
"Oh yeah, I'll text you...if every other male on the face of the earth simultaneously dies."
My bet is it probably is.
