FIRST DATES ARE never easy, but observing them can be absolutely gas – as has been once again proven here.

Meet Anne Thériault a writer from Toronto, Canada, who has gone viral this week by witnessing an absolute car crash of a first date:

She was just sitting in a cafe when she spotted the pair

Things start to get slightly pretentious early on

And she started overhearing some choice quotes from the guy

So awkward

The quotes kept coming

And the harrowing coffee expertise was next

This date just wasn’t going well

And it gets worse

Serious issues were being raised

PLEASE, it’s a first date.

And then it reached its nadir

A mortifying conclusion

But it kept going

The worst excuse to end a date we have ever seen

And, like that, she was gone

Leaving Anne to ponder her viral live tweeting success

What a fine way to be remembered. You’ve brought us so much joy and second hand embarrassment to us, Anne, and for that we are thankful.
