An guy is quickly going viral because he drank 11 pints and nine Jagerbombs on a first outing with a potential soul-mate, with people calling it the 'worst date ever'.
Now, I detest. If a man wants to let his hair down after a week of work, drink a selection of alcohol and then give his phone to what he hopes is his wife-to-be, telling them to film him bowling, then I think we should respect that.
Martin Taylor is the man in question here and even though he stacks it on the lanes, managing to get his ball into the lane running parallel, falling flat on his face in the process, he's showing his true colours. That's a respectable trait on the dating scene.

Rather than fronting as something he's not, putting on an act in order to try and make a good first impression to his date, he had the whole 'take me as I am' vibe going on. He did need a fuck tonne of Dutch courage to do it, but that's beside the point.
The 28-year-old doorman unfortunately couldn't remember his actions on the romantic outing, only getting a vague idea from the video he found on his phone.
"I was trying to impress her. I had told her I was the king of bowling and that my name was Marty King Pin," he said. "When I fell she just burst out laughing, she didn't ask how I was. I think she just found it hilarious."

Now, at this point you're probably asking whether or not the pair are going to continue to court, and, surprisingly, the answer is yes.
So, to all the nay sayers who claimed it was the 'worst' first date ever, sit down. Martin was clearly a barrel of laughs, gaining himself a second rendezvous based on drunken antics alone.
Anyway, the title of worst first date belongs to this guy, to be honest.
He went on a first date with a girl he'd met the previous Saturday, but before long things got very boring and, well, vanilla. Whilst he sat opposite his new love, he turned to his mates in the group chat for advice and they decided to play a little game.

He did indeed go for it! Ruffling someone's hair on a first date... Bit weird.

He actually pulled it off!

Did he ask the question? Of course he did!
A new low for our man, and his date didn't take too kindly to it either.
So, if you ever find yourself stuck on a boring first date, why not ask your mates to help you make it a bit more exciting?
