Twitter’s Going To Town On The Worst Blind Date In The History Of Dating

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a deeply flawed personality must be set up on a blind date, preferably by a New York city street press.

In this case, the bloke is a guy called Billy, the street press is Time Out New York, and the date was part of the mag’s series called Meet The Undateables:

What went wrong on this ill-fated tête-à-tête? Mostly, the unfortunate combination of an apparently nice and well-adjusted video production manager named Alyssa, and the aforementioned Billy, a v-neck-wearing “actor” from the Upper East Side.

Spoiler alert: Billy is a DICK. 

The Undateables series has been running for a fair while now, and while most of the pairings don’t lead to anything serious (except for this couple, who appear to be getting married soon), people usually aren’t actively rude about one another in their post-date interviews. 

Billy’s not like other people, though. He’s a gentleman! Oh wait, except the entirety of that quote is actually:

Unsurprisingly, Billy’s douchitude has not gone unnoticed by the wide wide world of web. Ya boy’s gettin’ rinsed.

If you read his responses first, her responses are like M. Night Shyamalan reveals (e.g. “He’s an actor”). https://t.co/c6ldQXZU9X

“She complimented me many times.”

Omg just reading her side now… “A couple of times he told me not to be nervous. I wasn’t nervous” ???? This poor woman.

I’m pretty sure the DSM states that “getting mad over ice cream” is a symptom of narcissistic personality disorder

This should be an article entitled “NYC woman dodges bullet.” https://t.co/NqUU4Qczi9

Oh, and in case you, too, were wondering about the steak paradox (he was scandalised that she ordered her filet mignon well done, but she said she ordered it on his and the waiter’s advice):

the real mystery is who wanted the steak well done????? pic.twitter.com/k9OSeNkZgi

I have answers from Alyssa on the steak: she never orders meat, asked for it well done, but got it medium-rare on advice of Billy/the waiter

In response, Billy himself tweeted a series of Trump-like denials, and promptly deleted his account.
