Ok so here’s my first story to share from my new adventures in dating!!

I had gone on one date with a cool lady and it went well..we got along and had fun but I don’t think there was anything romantic there.

So I’ve been speaking to his other girl via Tinder *shudder* Her name is Alice and she’s a 5’2” Asian girl...really pretty and she’s been quite funny. We’ve tried to get together a few times but she’s been a bit flaky. I'm limited to my free nights as I have my daughter every 2nd week.

So we finally make a plan to go out to get a beer and chat a bit. I get to the bar early and I see there is a guy playing acoustic guitar so I’m kinda stoked. I text her to let her know and she says “I’m not into that vibe right now” so I’m a bit disappointed but whatever. We agree to meet at a coffee shop close by and grab a drink and sit in the car and chat.

So I get there and text her and she is already there so she comes up to my car and roll down the window and say “hey Alice, you’re out of your car, did you want to go in for a drink?” And she goes “ummm yeah ok” and I answer with “are you sure?” And she says “yeah, hang on one sec”

So she goes back to her car as I’m getting out of mine and I put my coat on and come around the back of my car only to watch her drive away.

I stand there with my mouth open watching her navigate through the parking lot and out onto the street.

“OK, bye.”

LOL so I check on Tinder and she has unmatched me!

So guys, I’m not the best looking guy in the world but apparently I was not good looking enough for this chick!

I text her and tell her that it’s cool if she’s not into me but it was kind of a dick move to just bounce like that. I wasn’t expected a response, but I got one. It’s a variation on “its not you; it’s me”

“I’m so sorry! You were so cute. I felt ugly.”

1) She was not ugly. In fact, she looked just like her pics and she is gorgeous.

2) huh?

So anyway, she makes some excuses and I just tell her it’s totally fine if she didn’t want to move forward, but next time just tell the poor bastard.

Also, I’m fairly certain her name is not Alice lol!

What an experience!

I’ll share any more weird stories as they come up if anyone is interested.

Marriage might be restraining, but damn, I'm glad I'm not in the dating scene anymore.

:laugh2:
I was thinking the exact same thing.

You ain't lying. I went to a singles thing with a buddy a while back to be his wingman (I'm married with a kid) and was pretty let down by the quality of the women.

1) Take that Brad Pitt photo off your Tinder profile. You're obviously setting her expectations all wrong.
2) Don't give her a second thought. Just let it go. She's like a leaf, blowing down the road in the fall wind. Maybe she's a pretty leaf, but there are plenty of other pretty leaves out there.

At least she didn't try to stiff you for a meal. Or maybe there were other issues on her side. Either way, not worth worrying about, onwards and upwards!

Maybe you reminded her too much of her current husband...

if you don't look like Fred Astaire with a KFC bucket on his head I will be very disappointed and will ghost you too! :run:
Do we even have an actual picture of Mr. Shred?

I mean, if you're a fluffy 350 pounds, have a neckbeard and bad skin, like the average Reddit user, there is only so much we can do for you.
