“In my twenties, I went to meet my date at a really chic, fashionable restaurant,” Michael Kors said in Sarah Wexler’s book “Awful First Dates.” “I wasn’t dressed up necessarily, but I had one a nice shirt and jeans. My date showed up in cutoffs and a tank top,” he said. “I knew half the people in the restaurant, who were all looking at me like ‘Who is this guy with Michael Kors?’ It was so embarrassing. My tip: Always have your first date at a casual place.” (REX/Shutterstock)

“I have a friend at home and he randomly sets me up with people every now and then on dates,” Britney Spears said on “The Jonathan Ross Show.” “It’s just awkward because there’s so many times that you meet people and it’s just too awkward and you just don’t feel right. … I went with this one guy and he looked like a lizard. Like I was so scared … I was like, ‘Holy s—, he looks just like a lizard,’ and I had to go. [I left] immediately.” (REX/Shutterstock)

“The worst [date I’ve been on] was a setup, a blind date,” Ellie Kemper told “Glamour.” “When your friends pick someone out for you, they say, ‘Oh, you’ll like this guy.’ Then you meet him, and you’re going, ‘You thought I would like him?!’ This particular guy was rude and was much older than I was. He seemed pained to be there. I was like, ‘Why would this person even want to go on a date?'” (REX/Shutterstock)

“I got set up on a blind date by the husband of my best girlfriend, and he set me up with a man that he didn’t know very well and she had never met,” Jenny Slate said on “Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso.” “He comes around the corner inside the restaurant … this dude, and I’m not kidding, is dressed in full chainmail. He’s got a full authentic knight’s costume on, including a floor-length tabard, which I called a tunic and then he corrected me and was like, ‘It’s actually a tabard.'” (REX/Shutterstock)

Salma Hayek didn’t even know she was on a blind date with now husband Francois-Henri Pinault. “My first date with my husband started badly,” Salma said, according to “Latina.” “I didn’t know it was a date. I thought I was going to an event, and then there was one person at it. I was set up by friends to think I was going to an event, because they knew I wouldn’t go on a date! I was angry. And he didn’t know, because he thought I knew he was coming just to meet him. I started out really badly, but, as you can see, it ended happy.” (REX/Shutterstock)

Husband and wife Chris Hemswoth and Elsa Pataky were set up by their dialect coach. “It was like a blind date,” Elsa said on the Spanish show “El Hormiguero.” “We had never seen each other before. It was our dialect coach, the person who helped us both with the accent. So, this lady started to talk to each other about each other. Finally, she insisted so much that I thought, ‘Okay, let’s meet.’ We talked on the phone and we met.” (REX/Shutterstock)
