This sexual assault survivor got told to be more 'brave' by a man on a first date. Her response was incredible

A first date can be awkward and anxiety inducing.

If you think about it, the concept of dating is totally bizarre: turning up to meet someone you’ve never met, on the off-chance they could be “the one” – if you believe such a person exists.

So many worries can flash through the brain: what if they don’t look like their photos? What if they do, but they’re just awful?

Ericka Persson recently experienced a first date from hell. Afterwards, she took to Twitter to share the story – which needs to be seen to be believed.

Oh no he didn't. Yes, yes he did.

Are you spitting with rage yet? Well, to help you calm down, here's some lovely supportive tweets Ericka received after sharing her story. There's some bad people out there, but some great ones too.
