My colleague Katie recommended I write a blog post about this book, "Awful First Dates: Hysterical, True, and Heartbreakingly Bad."
Great idea.
Fortunately, I've avoided the unbearable first dates that likely dominate this book. Sure, not every first date has been paradise.
While I can cite many memories of conversation lulls and general awkwardness, those dates also involved guys who were kind enough to buy me dinner and listen to me tell stories that were likely too long and involved for a first encounter.
There are certainly exceptions...but when it comes to discussing awful dates, the responsibility often rests with two people. Even if that's hard to admit.
Weigh in: How do you define an awful first date? Does a lack of chemistry alone warrant that definition, or does the offense need to be more severe?

You went on first dates with guys? Men? Males?
Is there something you need to tell us about your sexuality?
First dates are difficult enough when it's male-female, but I can only imagine how difficult your dates have been since it's basically two dudes. Will you set up a paypal account so I can donate to the fund so you can get your penis lopped off?
In response to comment-Studies show people generally express their own sexual insecurities by accusing others. Hmmm...
First dates are diffcult when male-female. Also difficult when with a complete idiot who has nothing better to do than talk about total nonsense.
You are creep and maybe should 'donate' some of your energies to actually getting laid for once or talking about this crap to someone who gives a damn.
Well said. Problem is, that guy couldn't get laid if he was in a warehouse mattress sale.
Um, what makes you think I'm a man?
