Do you have a first date horror story?

First dates should be awesome - there's the excitement of being with a new guy, the fun of flirting the night away, and the electric jolt you get every time he looks at you. But throw into the mix having to actually sit through the thing, stressing about what to talk about, whether to kiss him and how much you should pay, and those kinda-nice butterflies in your tummy suddenly turn into a mini-Pro wrestler doing body slams against your belly. Not so fun.

But the good news is that it's not the end of the world if you don't have the Best. First date. Ever. Because if you're lucky there'll be a second date (much easier) or first date with someone else (still awkward, but you learn from experience!). Plus, everyone has a first date horror story - even celebs. Take Jessica Alba, for instance. She says, "I picked a restaurant I thought was an intimate, five-star place but it turned out to be a themed restaurant. All the waiters were dressed as pirates and the customers were senior citizens. So embarrassing." Talk about it!
