Your awful dates, in 140 characters

I was walking through Clapham on Tuesday evening. A pub near the common reminded me of a bad date I went on. I tweeted about it. This is what ensued... Send your tweets to @firstdatehell

    I've just walked past the Firefly, where I went on a date in 2002 that was so bad I heard myself say "So, what's Wigan like, then?"

    @rhodri I went on a bad date in 1999, where I heard myself say 'Yes, the internet - it's the future.'

    @RhoDri A blind date so very bad, that I hid under the bed when he came around to my sister's house, the following day, looking for me.

    @rhodri Guy came to get me in his new Porsche. Before I got in, he put a towel on my seat because "girls can sometimes be sweaty down there"

    Showoff. RT @jiggott: @rhodri I took a blind date bowling and couldn't stop scoring strikes. She thought I was showing off. So embarrassed.
