It's All Good
#MyWorstDate He is six years younger than me, and I'm not 30 yet. We met when I visited his store as a trainer, and I thought it was cute the way he ran out to my car, as I was leaving, to get my number. We flirt-texted for a few days and decided later that week to go to the beach. I made it clear I wasn't going to be driving my car, and that he would need to come pick me up. He agreed.

The Valentine’s Day Social Media Post – A 2-Minute Guide to What to Expect
So it's almost Valentine's Day again. The day that society pressures the boyfriends of the world to spend the amount of how much they really love you, while simultaneously pressuring the girlfriends of the world to post the cheesiest, category-red-'est photos on their social media pages to the judgment of their peers and social media followers.

My Worst Date
It was all so innocent, starting out with a mutual right swipe. He had curly hair, which I always love, so I decided to send him a message. The dude seemed nice, and even a little artsy with his picture in front of an old train. He responded after a few hours, and then conversation flowed, things were going OK. We talked for two weeks over text before deciding to meet up. Then the day came, and he suggested we meet at his favorite donut shop, which would have been fine, casual and close to home in case I needed to run. However, his way of starting the date was to tell me how he used to spend a lot of money on his dates, until he started getting less and less second dates so he started spending less and less money on them; the donuts were five dollars all together. Then our conversation (really his because he did most of the talking) started to get grouchy. He went on and on about how he's angry with his NYU advisor, so I started composing a "help me" text to my roommate, who unfortunately didn't have cell service. I didn't know how long I could deal with this; he sounded nothing like he did virtually. How could I not have known? Had he calculated everything he sent before he sent it?

Cards for People That Don't Care About Valentine's Day
Ah, Valentine's Day, it's the holiday solely based on love between couples and even friends. The holiday where you give each other stunning bouquets of red roses, large snuggly teddy bears, and boxes and boxes of chocolates that will put anyone into a chocolate coma. Love is in the air on this day... and so is hate. For those awesome single people out there, we can't blame them for hating this holiday. Hell, there are even couples that find Valentine's Day to be utterly stupid, because they share the love they have for each other every day already. No need to make a holiday for it.

My Worst Date
To pinpoint a singular moment in which I can call my "worst date ever" is an arduous task, as I am an exceptionally awkward person, and subsequently, I’ve had numerous bad dates. However, for the sake of this competition, I’ll disclose my most well-received anecdote.

From Philly Without Love
It was a beautiful summer day and I was making the 2 hour trek down to Philadelphia. I usually take the train, but this time I decided to drive. I was scheduled to visit my girlfriend for the day, and head back that night, since I had to work at a hockey camp in the morning. The drive was reasonably pleasant, the car was on cruise at 70, and my go-to Bowie station on Pandora was playing. Nothing out of the ordinary. I made it to Philadelphia in one piece. Then things went south in a hurry.

Thanks, Sass God
My college friends and I often speculated about the existence of a god. It was one of our go-to drunken philosophical debates, a pseudo-intellectual exercise born out of a need to feel like the shitty things happening to us in our early twenties were happening for a reason. The consensus was that there was a god. We called him Sass God, and he was not a benevolent deity, yet also not cruel. He just kind of enjoyed playing cruel tricks.

The Worst Date I've Ever Been On
I've been on a lot of bad dates. I've had guys ditch me mid-date because of my waist size, I had one date who erupted into a ball of rage at random, and yes, I've also had one date who thought it was appropriate to show up four hours late and drunk.

Never Date a Kangaroo
It’s always trivial when a man brings you to an ethnic restaurant of his said culture, and openly speaks a language you don’t understand to other guests in the dining room. If I had the option to redefine rude, I would file this under the description without blinking. This happened to me on a first date with a total stranger, and I have to say although the food was great, I left with a bad taste in my mouth. Finding out that he was trying to invite our waitress to have a threesome with us later that evening is a whole other story. Kudos to him for thinking he could make it that far, though.
