First dates are not my favorite thing in the world. In fact, they’re one of my least favorite things ever. It’s not that I don’t like dating – I do – it’s just that I’m incredibly awkward and so I feel extremely uncomfortable going out with someone I don’t really know. The whole situation just reeks of potential embarrassment and major fails.

So to explain what first dates are really like (at least in my experience), I’ve put together this list of Tina Fey GIFs. Because one, it’s her birthday tomorrow and I love her and two, I just feel like Tina gets it. Check out what it’s like to be on a very bad first date – I think a lot of you will be able to relate.

But it’s fine. You’ll give him another chance. Maybe he’s just nervous.

You end up saying something completely embarrassing.

By the end of the date, it’s like…

All you really want to do is be like,

But instead, you call your BFF and you’re like…

And you can’t help but  think:

Should you call him or forget him? You know how to make the right decision.

By the end of the night, this is pretty much how you feel.
