Hinge
So there I was, on a Hinge date with a guy who seemed normal enough—let’s call him “Steve.” We met at a trendy bar in Brooklyn, and things started off well. We were engaged in witty banter, talking about everything from our favorite pizza spots to our most embarrassing moments. But then it took a bizarre turn. Out of nowhere, Steve pulls out a gia...
So, there I was, scrolling through Facebook, minding my own business when I saw a match pop up in my messages. His name was Derek, and his profile was a delightful mix of hiking photos and those “I love my dog” posts. Plus, he was a self-proclaimed “adventure enthusiast,” which, let’s be real, sounded much cooler than "I sit on the couch and binge-...

So there I was, chatting with a guy on eHarmony who listed “travel” as one of his top interests. Naturally, I asked him where his favorite destination was. He confidently said, “My parents’ basement.” I laughed, thinking it was a cute joke. But then he continued, “No, seriously. I’ve got a full-size fridge down there with snacks and a big-screen T...
Tinder
So, I matched with this girl on Tinder named Jess—super cute, adventurous spirit, and her bio was full of puns about pizza. I thought, "This is my soulmate!" But we were still on that awkward small talk stage, you know, where you’re trying to fit in your best material before they realize you’re just a weird human who collects vintage rubber ducks....
Tinder
So there I was, sitting across from a lovely Tinder match at a cozy little café in the West Village. We were going through the usual pleasantries—favorite movies, travel stories, the drama of that one time they went to see a psychic who said they’d meet their soulmate in a “dimly lit basement”—you know, typical first-date chit-chat. Then, halfway...
Hinge
So there I was, scrolling through Hinge when I stumbled upon Tom, a charming guy with a killer smile and a bio that read like the perfect blend of sarcasm and introspection. We hit it off over a few witty exchanges about our mutual hatred for pineapple on pizza and our love for late-night bagels. But there was one little detail I brushed off: Tom h...
Hinge
So there I was, swiping through Hinge like it was a bagel shop menu on a Sunday morning. I landed on a guy named Mike who had a cute dog and a bio that read, “Avid hiker, pizza enthusiast, and cat whisperer.” I thought, “This dude sounds fun!” We matched, and it was on. After a few standard exchanges, Mike sent me a message: “What are three things...
eharmony
So, I matched with this guy on eHarmony—let’s call him "Mikey." Mikey seemed nice enough, with a professional photo and a bio that didn’t make me want to run away screaming. We decided to meet up, and I thought a cozy café would be perfect for our first date. But Mikey had other plans. Somewhere between me ordering a soy latte and him not-so-casua...
eharmony
So, there I was, just a hopeless romantic navigating the complex waters of online dating through eHarmony. I had matched with this guy named “Ted,” who, according to his profile, was a sci-fi enthusiast and an amateur magician. I figured, “Hey, even if he turns out to be a total bore, at least I’ll get a free dinner and some good stories.” We met...
Hinge
So, picture this: I matched with a guy on Hinge named Carl. He had a killer smile and listed “amateur magician” as one of his hobbies. Honestly, I thought it’d be a low-pressure evening of bad jokes and awkward silences, and maybe a few magical tricks to break the ice. Spoiler alert: it was both a rom-com and a horror movie in the making. We met a...
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.
eharmony
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...
eharmony
So, I matched with this guy on eHarmony who seemed nice enough. He had a solid job, a cute dog in his profile picture, and a love for sushi—always a good sign. We agreed to meet at a sushi restaurant in the East Village, where I thought, “What could possibly go wrong? It’s just sushi!” I arrive and he’s already there, looking a bit... off. I reali...
Coffee Meets Bagel
Subject: "Let’s Make This a Match Made in Bagel Heaven!" Hey there! 🎉 I know we just started chatting, but I can already tell you’re the type of person I can see myself sharing a dozen bagels with. Nothing says romance like carbs, am I right? 😉 So, how about we grab some coffee and a bite to eat soon? Just the two of us! I promise I’m way more...
eharmony
So there I was, completely ready to ditch my eHarmony date. We had been messaging for weeks, and while his profile said he was "an adventurous spirit," his last message about his obsession with collecting garden gnomes left me staring at my phone like I was trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I almost texted him, "Hey, I think my avocados...
