A group of women struck up an unlikely friendship after being invited on a date by the same man on the same night – which was hilariously live tweeted by date number one.
Yep – one guy, six women, six dates, one night, same bar = recipe for disaster.
Lisette Pylant, from Washington DC, had been on a night out when her friends introduced her to a guy in a bar they’d just met. The pair then met up for a date but a second woman arrived to meet the same man just 45 minutes later.
The 26-year-old told UNILAD:
Yes, everything that happened is unfortunately true.
I seem to have the world’s worst dating luck, but I’m glad I was able to make some new friends out of the situation at least.
I met this man at a bar on Saturday night when I was out celebrating my birthday with friends.
They saw I was texting my ex and wanted to try and make sure I had a better night than that, and so connected me with this guy they’d just met.
Assuming he knew my friends already I was polite and struck up a conversation with said guy before we continued on celebrating.
She added:
On Sunday I receive a text from this guy asking to go out and so I suggest Monday evening drinks after work.
He and I met up at 5:15pm at Truxton Inn, a cocktail bar in Washington DC where my friend Kyle McNeal is the head bartender – and most lovely person for putting up with us!
Then the hilarity described in my tweets begins and here we are…
So 45 mins in his next date shows up because he double books himslef and he decides he's going to friendzone me to get out of the situation

I decide to play the friend in order to help the girl feel less awkward until he exits for a moment and then I tell her what's up

We'll call this girl katie – katie gets in on my quest to make this guy feel like the fucjboy he clearly is and we chat for 30 mins
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 7, 2017
Then the third girl shows up – we'll call her Riley. The guy leaves again and Riley, katie, and I team up and decide to JT Must Die this sit

The two girls and I have now gotten both bartenders and the bouncer in on this and are taking this guy for all he's worth over here
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 7, 2017
He's now explaining why he broke up with his ex and Riley asked if he also met her on a "group date" ?
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 7, 2017
The two girls and I decided to be best friends, left together to go get drinks and dinner at another bar and left homeboy with the bill ??

Only, it wasn’t ‘the end’ as Lisette believed because this then happened…
JK ITS NOT OVER! The bartender just texted us to tell us homeboy is on another date so I sent my friend over to retrieve his 8pm date

You guys girl number FIVE just showed up BEFORE going to meet him because my friends intercepted her and told her not to waste her time
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
My friend is now arguing with said guy and his current date (#4) about why she shouldn't waste her time and just leave
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
And three became four…
MRS. STEAL YOUR GIRL OVER HERE pic.twitter.com/27rY4QJ1EF

YA'LL (well call her allie) Allie hasn't actually met him yet & is now baiting him that she's still on her way but we've already stolen her
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
We've gotten girl #4 (we'll call her claire) to come over once she finishes her date so she can debrief with us. Can someone bring a ??
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
Girl five’s in da house!

— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
HE TOLD DATE NUMBER 5 THAT SHE WAS ALREADY CUT AND TO SAY HI TO ME AT THE BAR WHEN SHE I VITED HIM TO COME DRINK WITH US
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
At this point he gives his reason for organising six dates in one night, and it’s every bit as stupid as you’d expect…
Went outside to make a call and ran into him leaving #5. He then tells me I'm the only one he wants to get to know still but that I should
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
Tell him if he should just fuck off. I tell him there's a difference between being efficient and being an asshole and he goes into "well im
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
"…A project manager, I manage my time efficiently." And I say there's no way to know someone in 40 mins of you have 5 dates lined up
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
He didn't seem to like that and resigned himself to the fact that I wanted to walk away laughing at him
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
He tried to say he was looking for love and his future wife. These "weren't dates" they were apparently "pre-date conversations"
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
You win some, you lose some – but hopefully you make three new best friends in the process ? cheers ladies ?? don't fuck with us pic.twitter.com/lxQ3f6Km2P
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
…And finally, a sixth!
WE WENT BACK AND HE WAS WITH #6!
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
He finally realized he wasn't winning and just walked out. #6 and her mom and aunt are now our new best friends
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
So what next for the new found friends?
Lisette told UNILAD:
We’ve been joking about getting brunch and maybe watching John Tucker Must Die this weekend – especially after the writer of the movie tweeted at me to let me know he approved!
So, let that be a lesson boys, don’t bother trying to organise six dates in one night, in one bar, it’ll never work – and it may even completely backfire.
