Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg reveals the not-so-smooth chat-up line he used on his first date with future wife Priscilla Chan

FACEBOOK chief Mark Zuckerberg may be a computer whizz, but he has revealed he wasn't as smooth with the ladies.

In a touching post to his 85 million followers, the tech billionaire, 32, admitted his future wife nearly dumped him during their FIRST date — because of homework.


Zuckerberg, who has built an estimated £40 billion fortune, last night commemorated thirteen years since his first date with Priscilla Chan.

In a hilarious moment of self-deprecation, the web guru posted a photo of his smiling wife beneath the caption: "She almost sent me home when I told her I had a computer science problem set due the next day".
