We’ve all been on our fair share of crappy dates, well, I know I have. The majority of us have sex satnavs to thank for most of them, aka. dating apps. You turn up dressed to the nines and the guy waiting at the end of the bar is 3 foot shorter than he said he was and about 20 years older. Just me? Just kidding that’s not an anecdote from my personal life, but I’m sure it has happened to some unlucky soul at some point.
Here’s another nightmarish story to add to our collections of horrors, of course we have the app that is dominating the 21st century courting scene for this one Tinder.
28-year-old Lauren Crouch, from Islington, recently went on a Tinder date she will never forget. She explains on her blog, No Bad Dates Just Good Stories, that the dude declined her suggestion of grabbing an alcoholic beverage and they hit up the Costa across the road instead.
She revealed the foray of ‘normal’ conversation lasted for around 25 minutes before he offered to make dinner for her at his place, whoa bold move. But wait for it, the reason why is probably the best thing you’ll hear all day he needed to get back home for his Ocado delivery.
And so the term ‘Ocado and chill’ was born. I really hope this catches on.
The tale continues
Lauren politely turned down the man’s request and they both went on their merry way. Then this happened:
This guy won’t quit.
Surely he’ll take the high road here.
