So, I matched with this girl on OkCupid named Mia, and we agreed to meet at a coffee shop in the East Village. I figured, how weird could it be? I arrived at the café wearing my best “I’ve got my life together” outfit, but all I could focus on was the guy sitting in the corner wearing a full dinosaur onesie, sipping a frappuccino. I chuckled to myself—New York is wild. Mia finally showed up, and before we even exchanged pleasantries, she took one look at the dino-man and said, “You know, he totally gets it,” while I’m thinking, “Well, at least it’s not a date with him.” We chatted about our favorite movies, and things were going smoothly until Mia leaned in with a mischievous smile. “I once went on a date with a mime,” she said. “Best part? He never spoke a word, but I was left guessing everything—even his name!” I laughed and said, “At least mimes are low-maintenance. When can you shut up a dino?” Just then, the dino guy got up and came over. “Can I join?” he asked. I couldn’t say no—Mia looked intrigued. For the next hour, we had an absolutely bizarre group chat that involved the three of us debating the pros and cons of T-Rex arms while trying to sip coffee without taking off the head of the costume.
