'Rudest Man Ever' Makes Date Leave Before The Main Course On 'First Dates'

If you're on a first date, you probably know within the first ten minutes whether you fancy them or not. In fact, you probably know within the first ten seconds. However, the polite thing to do is to finish the date, wait until you get home and then awkwardly message them about how you 'didn't see it working out' but you 'hope you can remain friends'.

And then never speak to them again. Right?

Not if you're 28-year-old John.

The Scottish pub landlord made millions of people squirm last night when he appeared on First Dates on Channel 4 - judge for yourself from the video below.

You could tell that it wasn't going well, especially when he started flirting with the waiter and went out for a cig on his own.

However, when he got back to the table, he informed his date, 35-year-old HR director Greig, that he didn't fancy him.

He says: "It sounds really bad, but I don't find you attractive. You're a really genuine guy, and we seem to get along, but I don't have that connection with you, so what's the point of staying and having main courses and dinners, you know?"

Greig, who clearly has the patience of a saint, asked: "Do you want to cancel your main course?"

The pair agreed to cut the date short.

Understandably, Greig looked a little upset as he paid for his starter and left the restaurant, leaving John to eat his steak alone.

Once he'd left the restaurant, Greig told the camera: "You've come for a blind date, you're there together to have a laugh and a giggle - don't be a dick, see it through, buy a dessert." I hear you.

To be fair, you could tell it was going to be awkward from the outset - when John asked about Greig's type, he replied that he 'wouldn't date a wallflower', to which John replied: "Shut the fuck up and eat your dinner". It was obviously intended as a joke, but fell flat. Yikes.

It's okay though, LADs. You'll find someone in the end. Especially if maître d' Fred Sirieix has anything to do with it. I'm sure you'll both be on the next series, but hopefully you'll make it to pudding next time.
