Last night the reality series First Dates arrived back on our screens. We followed ten hopeful singletons headed off on blind dates to posh looking restaurants. Followed of course by a camera crew, because nothing settles the nerves like being filmed for the viewing pleasure of complete strangers.

While the whole series itself brings the cringe factor to extraordinary levels, there were some stand out contestants in the latest instalment.

Josh ended up being quite a sweet guy, Anna meanwhile was possibly the fussiest person we had encountered and then there was Lewis. Lewis reminded a lot of people of Hugh Grant, or any British actor to ever appear in a romantic comedy, ever.

The contestants made us laugh but they also got us thinking about some of the worst things that could ever be said on a first date.

"How old are you?… I thought you looked older!"

 

"A lot of people say I look like *insert attractive celebrity*."

 

"You suck at dating."

Anna did not hold back with this comment last night.

Jesus, Anna is a fun vacuum I want to walk to the past and end this date myself #FirstDates

"Ooh, I wanna order the soufflé but eggs make SO gassy."

Nope.

 

"Round of Jagerbombs for dessert?"

Why have I never thought to order a jägerbomb in a restaurant before. #FirstDates

"I talk to angels."

 

"Take the service charge out."

"I don't believe in tipping" #FirstDates pic.twitter.com/bmXfDxrrx9

"Do you like my abs? They look great, right? Here, feel them…"

 

"Oh, I already know how much brothers and sisters you have. I saw on Facebook."

 

"I have Daddy issues."

OH NO NOW HE'S TALKING ABOUT HOW HIS FEAR OF HAVING CHILDREN STEMS FROM HIS DADDY ISSUES AND I CANNOT
