Let’s admit it, being alone can be tough. Basically, we all expected social distancing to be our time! Finally the end of all those who breathe into our necks while waiting for the cashier to finish their nice little chat with their colleague. Or that strange guy in the office who always has this impulse to touch things on your desk. But after a year of pandemic it’s getting a little frustrating to talk to Harry the lamp or to argue with Winston the sneaky fridge over the last bit of milk. (He’s lactose intolerant anyway, WTF Winston?) Although it appears that there’s one thing that is even harder than being alone and that is dating. Can you feel it, the cold sweat creeping up your spine by the sound of the word? Unfortunately, that seems to be a totally appropriate reaction as the following Tweets suggest.
What’s the most awkward date y’all ever been on?

We met and I noticed he was super quiet. To fill the silence, I just started talking about randomness.. anytime I asked him a question, he would awkwardly laugh and look away. He texted me 30min into it and told me he was deaf and heard nothing I said… pic.twitter.com/H2cYWVrScZ

Second date. Pro skateboarder. Really cute. Friends with my friends. We made out but something about how he kissed me freaked me out. I gave him a fake number. Years later he killed his girlfriend.

I walked in and the guy said, “I must have been drunk.”
He also kept asking if HE physically gave me his number or one of his friends.
And through the rest of the date he just kept shaking his head saying, “I had to have been drunk.”

girl took me back to her place, kept disappearing and arguing with her unseen roommate in the other room about how she’s being a whore for having me there.
…but she didn’t have a roommate. She was arguing with herself.

His family owned/ran a funeral home. Did not have an issue with that, but he spent the later part of dinner telling me what kind of makeup techniques he would use on me if I died.

He was older. Good looking but old enough to be my dad lol. We were sitting on the restaurant’s patio on these sofas having drinks. He wanted to take shots. I could tell he was lit so I was like nah. We took 2. I went to the restroom & came back this man was sleep on the sofa. 😭

So, did anybody else just decide to stay single for the rest of their lives? Don’t make up your mind yet, there’s also good stuff waiting for you.
Blind date, I’m waiting at a table at Starbucks. She’s not there, but a guy hands me a note from her saying let’s meet tomorrow instead at the location written “under the table by the window.” There were 20 tables next to windows. So I pretended to have an asthma attack and 1/

started looking under tables, frantically telling the people sitting there that I lost my inhaler. Two other people stood up and started crawling under tables to help me search for the mythical inhaler, and we went through the whole Starbucks. At the last table, I found it. 2/

As I was opening the note telling where to meet her the next day, she walked past the window and waved to me as she disappeared into the subway entrance.
We’ve been married almost 13 years now. 3/3
