The Bachelorette: 9 Awkward Moments We Watched Through Our Hands on Wells's Date

You've probably been on an extremely awkward date or two in your life, but it should make you feel better that you have never been on, nor will you ever be on, a more awkward date than Wells was on during this week's The Bachelorette. Right after the 31-year-old radio DJ found out that he got the Golden Ticket that is a one-on-one date, he announced to the seven other guys that he was the only man left who had yet to kiss JoJo. Now we're all for honesty, but this disclosure was far from necessary. Consider that a preawkward moment on this week's episode in Buenos Aires, Argentina. JoJo took Wells to Fuerza Bruta, aka a cool activities place where they would do stunts on a treadmill and then roll around in water on a clear platform suspended from the ceiling. The date could have, and even should have, been passionate and sexy — keywords being "should have." But here are all of the moments that made us cringe inside and out . . .

This was just the wrong angle for a first kiss, or any kiss for that matter.

"That was the moment Wells! That was the moment! WE DID IT!" — Yes, that's an actual quote.

"That's what you're looking for?" Uhh, well, yeah, kinda.

No one particularly enjoys talking about a past romantic relationship, but in this case, Wells made it extra awkward.
