Once upon a time, in a land known as the Upper West Side, I embarked on a match date adventure. Let's call him Dan—or as he jokingly referred to himself, "The One with the Plan!" Our rendezvous took place at a jazz club, because nothing says "romantic chemistry" like trying to shout over blaring saxophones. From the moment we met, I realized Dan h...

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...

Title: "Veggie Explosion at Match.com" I met Celia on Match.com. Her profile said "Vegetarian and Proud," but I thought she meant she owned an eggplant farm or something. We agreed on a cute little Italian place off 5th Avenue. I, being a meat lover, ordered a pepperoni pizza. Her eyes popped out like Ryan Seacrest seeing the real world for the fi...

Once, a guy slid into my DMs with a message that read, “Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at your profile, everyone else disappears. Also, can you make my ex disappear? Asking for a friend.” I mean, bonus points for creativity, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be his assistant or just recommend he invest in some therapy.

So, I matched with this guy on Tinder who seemed charming enough. His profile picture was him standing in front of an iconic New York City pizza joint, which—let’s be real—had me at "extra cheese." After a few days of messaging, we decided to meet up at a bar that advertised “the best cocktails in the city.” I told myself not to roll my eyes, but...

Each new encounter feels like a new episode of a terrible reality show, and I’m ready to pull the plug. So there I am, happily wrapped in my favorite blanket burrito, a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and the remote in one hand, when my...

So there I was, sitting in a cozy little candlelit restaurant, mentally rehearsing my charming small talk. I had matched with a lovely woman on eHarmony—let's call her "Laura." She had a delightful smile in her profile picture and claimed to be into "long walks and deep conversations." Classic, right? We dive into the usual, "What do you do for fu...

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,...
