96 Stories About Dating

I asked 96 people to tell me about their worst kisses and worst dates and these are their stories

Thank you for telling me your story

My worst kissing experience: with a girl who just ate lots of hot sauce. I guess you could say it was spicy.

One time I kissed a girl and did not realize my car was in drive. 11

The bartender from my favorite bar super liked me on Tinder. I think we either have to get married or I can never go to this bar again.

He invites me to come by for a drink. I agree. I drink too much. I’m younger than he thought I was. He’s always wanted to talk to me, but I’m always here with someone. I tell him that I’m usually on a date. He recommends watching Sherlock. Eventually, I’m the last one left in the bar. He says I can stay, but he’s going to be cleaning up downstairs for a while. It’s late. He walks me out. A few days later, I message him to say that Sherlock is good. He doesn’t respond. It is no longer my favorite bar and Sherlock isn’t that good.

Sherlock is good. Seen 13

When I had my first kiss I got nervous and stuck out my tongue and the girl ran away. 14

I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had that many bad dates, but I guess the worst was when the waiter was hitting on the girl I was with in Spanish (I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak Spanish). But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the girls fault and she told him to leave us alone pretty aggressively, so it had a positive ending. She got mad at him for being so disrespectful so that was cool.

One time I had this girl trick me into taking her out for Five Guys. She said she needed something from a store in the same plaza and then pulled into five guys and made me buy her food and rushed me to eat mine when she finished eating. Then I had to drive her back home over an hour away because her ride “wasn’t answering”.

Then she stalked me for a good month after that so it wasn’t the funnest thing I’ve done. She kept texting me every day and messaging my friends and if she saw anyone like my status or something she would freak out on me, I stopped answering her that night but she kept going with the craziness for 2 weeks and then slowly stopped. This was the first time we ever hung out and that was probably the craziest person I’ve encountered yet. 16

Hey there

What’s up

Why aren’t you responding?

Hello?

Hey there

Hello?

How are you?

How do you know her? 17

Okay so 15 years old. Recess is over. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kissing a girl and we are running late for class.

We both had braces and got stuck. We also had about 3 hours left, our parents were called in and we both had to go to the orthodontist to get separated. At least we got out early. Her mom was super catholic so she was yelling at me. It was embarrassing and when my dad saw me he smacked his forehead like â&#x20AC;&#x153;is that my kid?â&#x20AC;? 19

Well the low point was probably a couple years ago, my girlfriend at the time was sitting down and I was standing over her talking and I went to lean down to kiss he and at the same time she went to stand up to kiss me but instead I headbutted her in the mouth. My forehead was bleeding and her mouth was bleeding. She has to go to the hospital. It was bad.

So I manage American Italian restaurant, my chef is Italian and one day I was saying hi to him and he hugs me kisses me on the cheek and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. He then looks at me, slaps his own cheek and makes me kiss his cheek. 21

One time I was on a date with a girl who showed up 40 minutes late which was already a bad sign, but as it went along it was pretty pleasant. Then, plot twist, while we’re having dinner, I find out she has an “ex-boyfriend”, who’s really her current boyfriend, that just got out of prison. Long story short, we didn’t go on a 2nd date. 22

Well this girl drove to my house from like an hour and a half away to hang out. And we were hooking up and she kept biting my lip like over and over and over. Super irritating. And like it was just repeated pecking instead of long kissing. Which was super weird.

So during my freshman year of high school I started dating a girl I liked from middle school. Her parents were very strict and we were in different schools, so I walked her home from school when I could. But because of her parents we had to hide when we kissed. So one time we hid in a parking lot between a car and the fence, and we were kissing and I was feeling her up a bit. But then we hear a noise, and wonder what it is. When we look up we realized the owner was closing up so we ran out of there as quick as we could. I remember laughing because it might have been automatic, because there was no one around after we ran out. Lucky for her because she only realized her shirt was up after we got out, and I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get yelled at. But as far as we know we couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten stuck in that parking lot for a whole evening. Or maybe even longer.

The first time I French kissed I was in middle school and was at a girls house. She was holding her cat and I went in for it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the cat appreciated me getting close as it gave me a pretty nasty scratch after a few seconds. Painfully awkward.

Worst kiss so far: the first time I got reaaallly drunk I was about 14/15 and made out with a dog. 27

ATM

We meet outside of a subway station. Within the first few words shared, I can tell itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an awkward date. We walk for a bit. He tells me that he has to get money out of the ATM. I wait at the bottom of the steps. I see him walk up to the ATM, and then continue running. I assume he went inside the bank. I wait. I wait for a while. He does not return. I try to text him. I am blocked.

Seems like that ATM is taking a while haha.

Not delivered Did you block me?

! Not delivered !

Ok.

Not delivered 29

Worst kissing experience would probably be when my ex bit my lip so hard blood was running down my lips to my throat.

So I had been chatting with this girl for nearly 2 weeks on text, we even video chatted almost everyday, but we couldn't meet in person for a date because we ended up being busy. So finally she was at a party near my place, and I asked her to come over. So she did, and like we were just chit chatting in bed, and within 5 minutes she got angry with me because "I forgot what she told me she ate for lunch yesterday." And she was all on my ass about how "I don't listen to her and don't respect her.â&#x20AC;? And that was such a big turn off. I acted as if I had to leave somewhere and then I left her to her car. 31

When I was about 15 and just sneezed in the middle of kissing all over her face. 33

So much biting!!!! I took the yes to biting out of my OkCupid profile. That is how bad it was. He tried to break skin or some shit. And then he realized I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it but he kept doing it again because he forgot.

Worst kissing experience? I think sadly that may be first kissâ&#x20AC;Ś. bleh too much tongue. It was a scene out of a sitcom where the laugh track was only added in retrospect. 35

I watched a lot of American cinema when I was a kid, and naturally I began to copy what I watching. And so in Kindergarten my best friend and I kissed on the mouth. Male best friend. And since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Pakistan, a really homophobic place, the teacher was really scared. She pulled us to the side and said guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that in really hushed tones and to never do it again.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had someone bite through a piece of my lip before. Twice. 38

The worst date I ever went on, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really go on. I drove 40 minutes to this girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house to take her out for dinner and her mom wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let her come out with me.

We get tea. I love tea. He tells me he doesn’t leave tips. I do not support this but decide not to argue with him on it. We’re both INFPs and he thinks we have a lot in common. I don’t think we do. He’s going to Ireland next week and wants to Skype with me while I’m gone. The waiter asks him why he didn’t leave a tip. He says that the service was fine but it’s not something he does. I decide I never want to talk to him again. He kisses my cheek and we agree to do this again when he gets back. A few days later, he texts me to ask about my Skype, twice. I eventually tell him that I can’t get over him not leaving tips. He didn’t think someone like me would be worried about something so trivial.

I’m just chilling in the lounge before my flight. What’s your Skype username?

I don’t know if you texted me back because I don’t have service here. What’s your Skype?

I can’t get over you not leaving tips.

I didn’t think someone like you would be worried about something so trivial.

I went to meet a girl at 7 for frozen yogurt, on the other side of town, a 30 minute drive for me. When I got there she told me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be late, as she was leaving a dinner with friends. No problem I said, anticipating a short wait. She proceeded to string this short delay along for an hour and a half, then meeting me around 8:45. No problem, I read a book in the meantime. We got some frozen yogurt and decided to go to a park and chat for a while in my car (we took two separate cars there). After a little while of talking we began to kiss a little. At which point she stopped me, turned her head, and vomited in my backseat. She offered no assistance, left while I was cleaning it, and never called me back.

One time I kissed a dude it was gross I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why anyone would ever do that. 43

I once kissed a woman who had braces a tongue ring, a grille and auto locking mechanism.

My weirdest kissing experience was in a cardboard box. So sophomore year of college, we were doing a fund raiser for Bethany house. And my school volunteered to pledge money for students to sleep in a cardboard box for the night. I was class president at the time so my box sold first. I saw the forecast the night before and saw it might rain during the night so I put a plastic sheet on my box. Everyone thought this was dumb even my neighbor who was a girl I was interested in. At 2 in the morning it starts to pour and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drenched and I tell her to get into my box quick to avoid the rain. So now me and her are stuck in a tiny cardboard box unable to move around just looking at each other. We literally just started making out then and there. She later was my girlfriend for a bit and now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ex but no hard feelings either way. 45

I once had a date where half the time the girl just talked about how much she loves black guys, of which I am obviously not. Super awkward.

Worst kiss was with this girl I was speaking to from tinder while on a business tip. We decided to link up and chill for a bit. The kissing was just super off and in addition she was a lip biter. When done right, can be the biggest turn on in the world. However, her biting was so strong and painful I literally couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to not be kissing anymore. At one point I thought I was going to lose my lip. It was the equivalent to getting punched in the lip and your lip grazing against your teeth. 47

I ask a new coworker out on a date, (we seemed to hit off well for about a week of flirting and stuff). We agree to meet at a dive bar for some drinks then dinner. I’m there at the bar having one drink to calm my nerves and I wait. For hours. After two hours I came to the conclusion I’ve been stood up. I got shit faced drunk and then the next time I saw her, I asked what happened, she apologized and wanted to try again and told me to meet up with her in the village and I said sure, no big deal. I assumed maybe something happened, didn’t pry into it. And I get fucking stood up again. Luckily, no third time. I saw her again at work and I said, “Let’s just be friendly coworkers.” I didn’t ask again because I didn’t wanna look like an idiot a third time. I let it go but I won’t lie, I felt pretty salty for a month or so, but I got over it.

I’m on my way. See you there!

I got a seat at the bar.

Having a drink.

I’m not really in a good mood, but I agreed to the date and a distraction would be nice. We’re going to play pool. I’m not a fan of pool but it can be a fun time if you’re both terrible and can laugh about it. He isn’t terrible. He also isn’t hungry. I am, but I decide not to eat. We don’t have good conversation. I text my friends and ask for excuses to get out of the date. I cry in the bathroom and I’m not sure why. We play another round. I hate every second of it. I tell him I have homework to work on. I go home. 50

So I don't have too many bad dates, but there was this one which was really bad and awkward. I traveled about an hour up to Poughkeepsie to meet this girl at a bar. On tinder she would chat quite a bit, but in person she would just not talk. The date lasted about 45 minutes THANKFULLY because the bar was shutting down. Everytime I asked her a question she would just reply in a few words and she just looked disinterested. While leaving we just said bye and then never texted again.

A girl vomited in my face during a kiss.

One time someone barfed in my mouth during a makeout session.

Once a person literally threw up on me while I was kissing them.

This one time this girl burped into my mouth and I literally puked.

I realized I had to throw up while kissing him so I ended the kiss and went home. 53

Worst kissing experience: this super cute knock out, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been flirting with me for a few weeks. Finally dumps her bf so we can try it out. They way she felt when i kissed her was like kissing a wall. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even pucker her lips. It was the worst feeling I ever felt (for that ex bf). Imagine just kissing a wall. Like as flat as that. Maybe a wall with bubble wrap because lips are lips but there was no kiss back ya know? Just like if you happened to kiss someone when they were sleeping but she was wide awake.

This is the kind of content I want to be receiving from strangers.

After running out of swipes on Tinder, this man sends me a picture of a dog on Instagram. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a relationship now. 56

I used to be in a band and there was this one girl that would come to a bunch of my gigs. I assumed she was a normal fan and one day she comes up to me after the gig and we had a friendly conversation and agreed to meet up for dinner the next day. So we go to longhorn and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling jokes and stuff. I guess she has this really embarrassing uncontrollable laugh that she let out and she end up spitting out some juice out her nose. I thought all of that was cute like I love when people laugh at my jokes and I love when girls have cute imperfections like a laugh. But she got REALLY embarrassed that she had done that and started to freak out and cry and eventually left because she couldn't handle that she allowed me to hear and see her embarrassing laugh. I tried to calm her down and let her know I was alright with it but she was REAAAALLLLY embarrassed. So she paid for her half and left and she never talked to me again.

Every boy I have ever kissed was way too eager and fast paced and it was overwhelming. Also, beards are scratchy.

It was 3rd grade, I took her behind a bookshelf and got broken up with twenty minutes later. You really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win them all. 59

Many years back, I was hooking up with my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister in a hotel room right when her parents walked in. Very awkward, but they still like me so all is well. 60

My worst date was when a girl definitely liked me in a creepy way even before meeting me and then proceeded to ask me to be a job reference as well as be her bf. On the first date. I went on a second "date" just to tell her that I'd prefer to be friends. She took it well enough and then asked if I wanted to give her advice on a food business she was thinking about. She said creepy things like, "wow you're really cute. Your skin is so nice, it contrasts well with mine."

This one tinder date picked me up on a day where she had gotten pulled over twice. One for speeding, the other for smoking weed in her car. We went to a diner and she was starting smoking bowl on the highway back home while doing 95 on 84.

VODKA

I don't think I have that interesting story 's when I comes to kissing. One story is when I had to stop kissing someone because I thought I would get drunk off the taste of vodka. 63

This person was biting pretty hard. Hard enough that I asked him to be more gentle a few times. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen. The next day, one side of my lip was bigger than the other and my nipples hurt for like three days. 64

The worst date was when I got fucked by lies. The woman had a boyfriend and she still invited me to her place after our activity.

A girl tried kissing me and she had the most ridiculously and obnoxious bubble gum cherry flavored lip gloss lollipop. I was so confused cause I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how someone could put so much lip gloss.

My first kiss was with a boy who surprised kissed me. Little did he know I was attracted to females. 67

My worst date was with a guy that would ask me questions then cut me off EVERY TIME and talk about himself. 68

My worst date was when she asked me if I was forcing an accent???!!! As soon as she said that, I was like "This woman is not even listening to me at all." She's busy judging my accent.

This chick probably had a huge meal (with lots of onions I presume) and her breath just killed me. I could even taste it, not to forget the small piece of broccoli stuck in her teeth. 70

I went on A date with a girl we had a really nice time we got food. I asked her if she want to meet again and she said yes. I asked her what's a good day for her. She said next week is bad because my boyfriend is home, but after that I'm good. I never saw her again.

I had a fun time last night

Me too.

Are you free next week?

Not next week, but the week after

My boyfriend is visiting next week

My worst tinder date was the time I met someone and she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look anything like she did here and it was incredibly awkward because she kept leaning against me and I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that so I felt super awkward the whole time. It was one of those dates where I wanted to leave as soon as I got there but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too nice to do that to someone so I stayed the whole time.

I farted the first time I kissed a girl. The fart was really loud the laughter was louder. 73

Essentially, we were watching something and both taken a drink of water, turned to each other to kiss and then something funny happened on TV and we both did a spit take on each other.

Worst tinder date probably had to be when I got invited over to binge watch Game Of Thrones but instead we watched The Lord of Rings. Granted not a bad choice, but expectations were not met had to break it off.

The Lord of the Rings

My worst Tinder date wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the date itself, but a girl basically finessed me into a short meet-up so her and her friend could get a ride home.

It is a toss up between taking someone to a Japanese restaurant and leaving with an existential crisis or the time I was roofied. 77

In 3rd grade, this girl kissed me on the lips and ended up biting instead. 78

I think the worst kissing experience Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had was someone passing out while kissing me, it was a very uncanny sensation realizing the person youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kissing is asleep.

I dated someone for four months who kissed like a rubber fish and I hinted at slowing down and taking their time but they just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand or get it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fantastic kisser but she just... yeah, rubber fish.

I was at a party and the crowd was a bit older than me. I was 19 and the girl I hooked up with was 31. And she got drunk and kissed me. She used a lot of tongue and her breath smelled like she was chain smoking cigarettes. 81

Met her at her house, she looked nothing like pictures. We drove an hour and walked half an to see an abandoned rocket launching facility we never made it to and she spent most of the talking about how Miami is a hot bed of STDs, Quick summary of my worst date. 82

her hour that time

I once went to kiss a girl and we hit our heads together so hard I had a concussion.

My first/worst kiss was after a movie at a multiplex. I missed, kissed half her lips, and then quickly walked out of the theater.

Worst date was in high school with this girl who I'd eventually end up dating, my cousin decided to tag along to see Avatar with us and spent the whole movie hitting on her, eventually asking her to step out to the bathroom with him! That was some shit.

My worst kissing experience probably has to be making out with somebody who kinda just tried to put their mouth around mine and just use their tongue, and like, not at all their lips.

I don't have a bad Tinder story specifically. But once on a first date, I asked a girl how her week was going. She said it was going fine, except that one of her classmates had died in a car accident. She was clearly holding back tears. I quickly changed the subject. 87

Worst date was probably this one where halfway through the date the person â&#x20AC;&#x153;accidentallyâ&#x20AC;? ditched me, the funny thing is we ended up kinda becoming homies months later through mutual friends. 88

One time, I was trying to drop a boy off at his house and he leaned in but it really looked like he was going for a hug so I just hugged him. Then he was like no and got all awkward and said, “uh do you wanna make out?” and I was just like sure. So he just shoved his tongue in my mouth very horribly and uncomfortably. After it was over, he asked me how he did. I think I lied but maybe offered a suggestion for improvement? Later that night after I’d gone home, he texted me apologizing for it.

Hi sorry

For what?

That kiss.

It was awkward.

I’m not often into casual sex, but this night I was. He is really attractive in photos, and more attractive in real life. We met at a bar with a bartender that I’ve been on a date with. He laughs at my jokes and I laugh at his. What more could anyone ask for? He asks me what I’m into. I don’t really give an answer, since that’s a vague question. He asked if he can kiss me. I say he can, but he doesn’t because leaning over the table would be weird. We go for a walk, but it doesn’t last very long because he is so cold. He asks me what I’m into sexually. We’re into a lot of the same things. It’s a good night. He takes an Uber back in the morning. We don’t speak again.

My date got arrested on the way to meet up. 91

In my first year of college, I was in a show with this really cool sophomore named Maggie. I really liked her (and one of my friends talked to her and confirmed that she would probably say yes if I asked her out) so I worked up the courage to do it as we were striking the set after our final performance.

So we text back and forth for the next week, get lunch in the dining hall a couple times, and decide that for our first official get together we would play a game of pool on Friday night. The dorm where she lives was a 13 story building called Jonsson Tower (insert bad dick joke here), and on the top floor was a penthouse with some couches, a tv, and a pool table. It was one of the best places on campus to hang out, and since it was Friday night we’d likely have the place to ourselves. So I plan to meet her in the lobby around 7:30 ish, and I see her and her friend Alex (who she would end up dating a couple years later) Exit the elevator. Turns out he would be joining us. At first I didn’t think much of it, reasoning that she was probably feeling nervous and wanted her friend there as a buffer in case things went poorly, which I could understand. We ended up playing for about an hour, and it was pretty fun. However, once her friend left and I suggested we go to her dorm, she told me that she didn’t actually want to go out with me, and that she thought I was asking her to hang out as friends (though in context I thought I was being clear about my intentions, this kind of nervous ambiguity is a common thread in my love life. But I digress.) I didn’t see her much the rest of the semester, and she ended up going abroad the whole next year.

Went gallery hopping with an actress who spent the whole time venting about how she was going to give up on her dreams and move back home. Not a funny story, but bleak af and an awful date. Did not appreciate the art or free wine. 95

Worst date was taller then me which I liked. But she had nothing to say. 96

I went on a first date with a girl to the museum of sex, which just to clarify, completely her idea. It was awkward before we even got there. As we were walking she reprimanded me for whistling because it “drew attention to her”. Then the museum was just even worse. She told me about how she was “afraid of black guys” made very weird sexual jokes that were not landing, and was just an overall awful person.

One time this guy used his teeth and only his teeth. The kiss began with teeth. His lips were not involved at all. Just constant biting.

I took this girl out to Plaza Diner and she was often on her phone, not talking much, and when I dropped her off she said she had a ‘good time’ which I wasn’t believing if she's doing all that. Then she straight up ghosted me and never replied again. Hella rude.

Hey!

What did you think about our date? Seen 99

I went on a Ok Cupid date once. We went to a burlesque show in Manhattan, it was pretty tight I was digging it. Me and the girl I was on the date with made out a little bit in the place, it was cool whatever. But by this point (which I was kind of oblivious to at first) she was like on a mission to get drunk. Before we sat and did that she ordered this like champagne and liquor drink and kind of chugged it. After we kissed she got up and left, I assumed she went to the bathroom. Half an hour passes and I'm like shit where is this girl? So I get up to look for her, I leave the place and she's there on the street like wandering in place holding a half eaten sandwich... She left the show she took me to go eat a sandwich without me. So after that I got dollar pizza and I took her to Penn Station so she could travel home. She bought a Tallboy and drank the whole thing and then left. Never heard from her again. 100

I asked my secret crush out, got too nervous when I was asking, told her "It's not like a date or something... yeah, bring your friends, my treat" and ended up paying for six people's dinners.

101

I went on a few good dates with this guy and I thought things were going well. Then he texted me saying heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to Japan with his girlfriend and I should never contact him again. 102

So I went on a date with someone to a restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Immediately after we finished the meal and left, she broke up with me.

103

My worst date when my date got drunk and I had to drop her home because she was not able to walk.

104

My worst is probably when I hooked up with this guy who literally tried to swallow me whole he opened his mouth so much like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking when I went to kiss him goodbye there was a little air popping noise because I kissed the inside of his mouth. Because his ENTIRE mouth was over mine. 105

I’m here!

I see you lol

Where are you?

I’m right behind you.

You’re wearing the red hoodie, right?

Right?

106

My worst date probably has to be the time I met this girl at a party and she asked me to hang out on Saturday. So I go to the parking garbage she told me to meet her at (she went to a nearby community college, she was supposedly getting out of class) and I texted her saying "I'm here" she then said "I see you" but I didn't see her and there was no way for her to see me unless she was either behind or in front of me. After I texted her asking where she is, she texted me back saying "I'm behind you, you're wearing the red hoodie right?" She wasn't behind me and I got so creeped out I ran away and she never texted back since. I assume she was going to kill me.

107

Took her to a family friend's restaurant. She was rude to the staff I was knew and returned her meal multiple times.

108

When I was in high school, I had a skate boarding accident and broke a couple teeth. I got them filled in so their pretty again but sometimes they come out. I was kissing someone sort of hard once and I think we laughed and our open mouths hit right on the good spot so my tooth fell out. I pull back quickly and the tooth lands on their lip, thankfully not falling in their mouth. 109

One time I went to a frat party (poor choice) and I was kissing this person and we both happened to have nose rings. Theirs was missing one of the balls and when the rings got interlocked mine ripped theirs out. Not like through the skin but just out of the hole. They found it on the ground in a few minutes and just put it right back in. 110

I decided to go on a last minute date since I have a few hours before my friend is free. This man showed up at least 30 minutes late. After getting drinks, he told me that his type was normal people like me. When I asked what this means and he said Caucasian people. He can relate to them better. For some reason, this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for me to end the date. Then, we were trying to find some place to "talk" which meant weird staircases and alleys that were outside in the cold. He started the kiss by asking want to kiss? And then he kissed weird. I had plans after this and he tried to convince me to not go and stay outside in the cold more. At the end of the date, he says weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably never meet again. He still texts me occasionally.

A post goes around about a girl asking guys on Tinder to send her $5 and see what happens. The thing that happens is an unmatch. I decide to try it on multiple dating apps at the same time. I make about $60. One of these apps is Plenty of Fish, which has a terrible design. I don’t know why anyone would ever use it. I start talking to this guy on it and he’s really cute and fun to talk to. The only problem is, Plenty of Fish doesn’t limit you by distance as much as it should so he lives about 6 hours away. He travels the 6 hours. He’s wonderful. I travel the 6 hours. He’s even more wonderful. We go to concerts together, I find out sex can be enjoyable, I’m his date for formal, my parents know of his existence, we casually talk about moving to San Francisco, I travel to see him in Boston. Am I in love? Apparently, he might be. He leaves New York to continuing studying in Minnesota.

I was on a terrible date and this person would not get off their phone so I decided to leave through a window in the bathroom.

My first kiss was with a guy who shoved his tongue in my mouth forcefully and repeatedly. That was his definition of kissing. It made me think I hated kissing until I kissed someone who was good at it.

I drove to New Paltz which is like over an hour away, I waited for her in that one cool diner outside of campus, she came in and met me, said hi, literally didn't talk much after that until I asked her a question, we pretty much ate in silence. I told her I was gonna drop her off to her place, she gave horrible directions so a place that was like 10 min away ended up lasting like 30, I finally dropped her off and she gave me the most awkward car hug and I literally cringed. 115

Sophomore year of college I was in a production of Mac Wellman's 'Dracula,' as Dracula. I had a kiss scene with Lucy and the actress playing her was a very aggressive kisser. She knocked one of my fangs out of place, and my body's instinct was to swallow. So then I had to work the rest of the scene with a single fang while the other one was lodged in my throat. Got off stage, coughed it back up and put it right back in though. #TheShowMustGoOn 117
