This lad's awful behaviour on a first date has totally transfixed the internet
Time Out New York Time Out New York
THERE’S NOTHING QUITE like a bad first date to grip the internet’s attention.
Yesterday Maya Kosoff shared a screengrab of Time Out New York’s latest installment of The Undateables, which sees the magazine pair up single New Yorkers in the hopes that they find love. Afterwards, each person offers an appraisal of how the date went.
This week, the magazine matched a young woman named Alyssa with a guy named Billy. On the surface, it seemed as though they had plenty in common – they were both 24, single and working in the arts and entertainment. What could go wrong?
Well, Billy could turn out to be a bit of a gobshite for starters.
Things got off to a bad start when Billy immediately laid into Alyssa for being a few minutes late and not having “the goods”.
He discussed having to be polite to her despite not necessarily finding her attractive. Ugh, manners! Such a chore.
He criticised how she ordered her steak. What a dreamboat!

And ultimately concluded that the whole thing was a waste of his precious time.
Alyssa was kinder in her assessment, but she did note that he “did a lot of the talking” and weirdly told her “not to be nervous.
Needless to say, everyone was Team Alyssa.
Last night, Billy sent a number of now-deleted tweets in which he claimed that he was “grossly misquoted” and accused the magazine of taking “full artistic liberty” with his words.
