Mar 21, 2014 3:59 PM CUT Get ready to watch the [most awkward thing](http://www.vice.com/en%5Fuk/read/livestream-strangers-on-an-awkward-date "undefined") you’ve seen in your life. Vice is ensuring your Friday will be totally unproductive by[ livestreaming the first date between two strangers](http://www.vice.com/en%5Fuk/read/livestream-strangers-on-an-awkward-date "undefined"). The couple is currently having a drink at The Old Blue Last, a bar in London. It’s basically like if someone took that [first kiss video](http://time.com/19693/20-strangers-were-asked-to-kiss-for-the-first-time-and-it-was-strangely-beautiful/ "undefined") that went viral last week but made it in color and swapped out the beautiful models for a dude wearing a Family Guy t-shirt and a beanie emblazoned with the word “dope” and a girl who seems kind of cool and stylish. In fact, Vice did a [remake](http://www.vice.com/shorties/we-got-twenty-british-strangers-who-arent-models-to-kiss-each-other "undefined") of that kissing video with real strangers and the guy participating in this date is one of them. Guess Vice is a matchmaking service for Family Guy fans now. You’d assume that these two love birds would be on their best behavior — a first date is basically a job interview for love, right? — but this winsome twosome can’t seem to make eye contact for more than 10 seconds at a time or talk about anything that isn’t a giant cliche. Topics so far include cheesy pick-up lines, the intersection of love and beauty and so much more. If this couple doesn’t make it, there’s no hope for the rest of us. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/33601/livestream-first-date-uk-couple/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/33601/livestream-first-date-uk-couple/"},"headline":"Watch A Really Awkward First Date Unfold in Real Time","datePublished":"2014-03-21T15:59:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:08:01.966Z","description":"Can't.
