“I was congratulated on my good birthing hips on a date when I was 16.” — @baileyscov
“He invited me on an ‘easy hike.’ I’m in cute sneakers taking pictures. He’s in full survival mode with trekking poles and protein bars. At one point I lagged behind for maybe five minutes and got completely lost. No call. No yelling my name. Just me, reconsidering every life decision that led me there. I made it out by pure luck and Google Maps. Never talked to him again.” — Claudia C.
“Ended things with one guy, two months later he’s posting about his fiance talking about how he ‘knows what he wants.’ All the single people here just take turns.” — anonymous
💀 Left Speechless
“On our second date: ‘Sorry I didn’t keep in touch over the weekend. I was in jail for assault and kidnapping.’” — @libraryofentropy
“I briefly dated a girl who was vegan, not for ethical or environmental reasons, but because she used to live near a crematorium and apparently it smelled like barbecue.” — @devin_j_wakefield
