Meet Lissette Pylant, the architect of a truly epic Twitter thread and a hero for daters everywhere.
On her 26th birthday, Pylant’s friends set her up with a random guy they met at a bar. She agreed to go out with Justin the following Monday at Truxton Inn, Pylant told NYMag. So far, so good.
The date itself wasn’t stellar—Justin had himself a sparkly blue cane (“‘you know $23 at CVS and you can call yourself a pimp,’” he told Pylant)—but she had friends at the bar and Justin had said he was meeting friends at 6:15, so she stuck it out.
6:15 rolls around and “friends” turns out to be date #2
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
Lo and behold, who should show up just as the two women are about to leave and get a drink together at a bar across the street, but date #3.
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

Instead of throwing a drink in this guy’s face, they get much sweeter revenge: they all stayed for a little while. “I think he was panicking a little,” Pylant told NYMag.
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 ??

Pylant literally tweeted “The end.” She and her two unexpected date friends headed to ANXO. Except things just got more ridiculous from there.
Her other friends stayed at Truxton Inn to see what Justin was up to. “They were half kidding,” Pylant told NYMag. “But then they texted me ‘dude, he’s here with a fourth girl!’”
I’m stealing his dates and making them my friends and I’m SO HERE FOR IT pic.twitter.com/88iqDi6mfX

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
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 ??

Meanwhile, date #5, Alexandra Woody, meets her fellow Justin daters before she even gets to Justin.
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
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
Eventually Allie makes it over there to find herself in this horrifying situation.
“I waited for number four to stand up and I said ‘hi, I’m number five’ and he goes ‘oh no, you have been cut’ and made the hand motion,” she told NYMag. “I felt like I was on the MTV show Next.”
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
My friend walked over and told #5 what was up, got her number and this was their convo pic.twitter.com/y30UP261d5

At some point Justin runs into Pylant on the street and says he just really wants to get to know her.
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 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
The party at Anxo breaks up—it is Monday after all—except Justin is still at it. Date #6 turned out to be a woman visiting from out of town … with her mom and aunt.
WE WENT BACK AND HE WAS WITH #6!
— Lisette Pylant (@LisettePylant) August 8, 2017
OMFG this idiot is on date 6 (now w/ an out of towner) (see: https://t.co/ufs6OkkXAR) – we came to save her, and her mom & aunt are here! ?? pic.twitter.com/VhASt2NUeA
— Katrina Avila (@KatrinaMarie8) 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
Loved meeting you, @jfreezone! At least you have a fun vacation story to share and new found friends in DC! ?? pic.twitter.com/NZHb9sQuf3

Evidently this wasn’t Justin’s first go around with the old six-dates-in-one-night trick.
He set up 6 successful dates on Friday night and tried it again tonight
— Aaron Agre (@AaronAgre) August 8, 2017
No way. He did the same “schedule” on Friday night. It is not too much to expect that a gentleman pay interest to 1 woman At a time
— Aaron Agre (@AaronAgre) August 8, 2017
All’s well that ends well—with Internet fame and new BFFs.
“We’re making a ‘Sister Wives’ group chat and taking selfies and planning a brunch,” Pylant says. “We’re gonna watch John Tucker Must Die.”
