Title: The OkCupid Scuba Fiasco: A Quest For Love Underwater It all started on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. After swiping through seemingly endless OkCupid profiles and enduring conversations that were as stimulating as watching paint dry, I match with Bella, an adventurous soul who described herself as an enthusiastic scuba diver. Her boldness i...
Coffee Meets Bagel

It's been a few months now, and I still think about it, lying awake at night, staring at the water stain on my ceiling that resembles Idaho—big and kinda pointless. Her name was Emma, a name as classic as New York bagels on a Sunday morning. Our chat was bubbling like that third espresso shot I should've skipped. We bonded over our love for dogs,...

It was a typical Tuesday night in New York City. Rachel was scrolling through Hinge, sipping her overpriced matcha latte. Amidst the sea of guys holding fish and wearing sunglasses, one bio caught her eye: "Looking for someone to play Two Truths and a Lie: Pro Edition." Intrigued, she matched with him and received a message: "Hey, let's play Two T...

Picture this: I'm scrolling through eHarmony, sipping coffee that was way too expensive for what it is. I land on a profile that proudly declares, "I know all the words to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel." Intrigued, I shoot him a message: "Impressive. But can you sing it backward?" He replies, "Of course, but only if you can recite ‘Jab...

I once matched with a guy on Facebook who looked like he stepped right out of a Hollywood rom-com — you know, the type who probably gets free coffee just by smiling at the barista. His profile was filled with pictures of him hiking, reading exotic novels, and volunteering at the local animal shelter. I was half-expecting our date to be straight out...

I swiped right on Match and there she was: Sophia, a bio that read “Loves dogs, hates olives, can’t wink.” Clearly, a keeper. We agreed to meet at a coffee shop nestled in the heart of the East Village, where the air smells like ambition and burnt espresso. I arrived first, nervously sipping on my overpriced cold brew while pretending to be deeply...
OkCupid

So, there I am on OkCupid, scrolling through profiles like I'm flipping through a magazine, when I come across "JazzLover42." He's cute, likes classic films, and knows his way around a comma—a rare trifecta in online dating. We chat, exchange a few dad jokes, and decide to meet up for coffee. Now, my only hesitation came from an unusual hobby list...

So there I was on this dating app, swiping left and right like a blackjack dealer in Atlantic City, when I matched with a charming guy named Todd. Todd had one of those profiles that made you wonder if he moonlit as a poet or just had a really good grasp of Google Translate. Our conversation started off pretty basic: "Hey, how's your day?"—you kno...

So, picture this: I match with someone on eHarmony and, naturally, my expectations are somewhat split between "this could be the love story of a lifetime" and "please don't be a serial killer." Her profile pic showed her at a café, long auburn hair flowing in the breeze like a Pantene commercial that takes itself a bit too seriously. We start chat...

So I'm at this café in Tribeca, waiting for my OkCupid date, Rachel. Her profile said she loves cats, coffee, and conspiracy theories—basically the holy trinity of internet dating. Rachel walks in, and immediately it feels like I've been catfished. She's wearing a full-on cat costume. Not just ears and a tail—no, she's committed in a giant tabby...

Alright, buckle up for this one because it's a classic tale of digital miscommunication. So, Emma and Jake matched on Coffee Meets Bagel, and everything was going great. They had a charming chat about their mutual love for classic films, artisanal coffee, and the bizarrely captivating world of competitive cheese rolling—all the usual stuff. They d...
Hinge

Ah, Hinge. It’s like online dating’s version of a chaotic NYC subway ride, where you're not quite sure what sights, sounds, or smells you’ll encounter. Picture it: A bustling cocktail bar in Manhattan, where the decibel level competes with a sold-out Knicks game. I was on a Hinge date with a guy named Jake, who, unlike his profile, didn't quite e...

One chilly fall morning in New York City, I matched with someone on Coffee Meets Bagel who had a bio that read, "Looks like a librarian, parties like a piñata." Intrigued and mildly concerned for their safety, I decided to meet them for coffee at a cozy café in the Village. As soon as we sat down, the barista accidentally spilled a mocha latte all...

We decided to meet at a cozy Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village—neutral territory for two strangers who'd spent a week chatting on eHarmony. As I walked in, scanning the room for anyone who might look like his profile picture, I heard a clang, followed by a cascade of giggling. I looked over just in time to see a silver fork catapult through...

It was one of those lazy Saturday afternoons when I found myself scrolling through Facebook, pretending I was doing something productive. You know, like feeding my digital plants or joining my aunt's 87th multi-level marketing group. I got a notification: a message from someone named Alex. Now, Alex's profile picture was a cat wearing sunglasses,...
