                                               My tinder experience

 A little prehistory 

           I’ve recently got out of a 4-year relationship, that frankly speaking wasn’t very blissful for me. After 2 months of self-pity and despair, I was on the dating market, bright and breezy, eager to date again. I don’t actually have many friends who can bring me together with a nice girl so I decided to turn to Tinder.

           As in my previous relationship I didn’t feel the urge to marry, I realized that the girl wasn’t the one and consequently I made a promise to myself that the next one would be really special. This is how I decided to consider only girls that are a bit out of my league.

           I had been using Tinder for about 4 weeks when I finally got the first date with a gorgeous girl. Although she looked stunning, there were some things that bothered me. For instance, having exchanged very few messages she inquired if I had a car and literally asked me for a bunch of flowers. Besides this, she herself hinted she would like to go out. So I asked her out.

 The date

           Having dressed up a little I met her at the cathedral. The first question I was asked, “Where are my flowers?” Laughing the question off, I suggested to have a stroll, however, she persisted in her blatant approach and asked for a takeaway. I didn’t want to seem rude so I agreed. As the restaurants served only takeaways due to the coronavirus, we couldn’t get a table. To my surprise, she chose a way too fancy restaurant for a takeaway and ordered the food that you can’t eat in the street. Ok, I said to myself, thinking “How are you going to eat it?”. The next thing that she said got me completely baffled and stunned.

-“Let’s go to the shop to buy some bread” - these were her exact words.

- I pulled myself together and asked “Do you want me to buy groceries for you? ”

- “Well, it is just bread”. - she answered like it was totally normal.

- “Ok, let’s go”. - I answered, still confused by the situation I found myself in.

As you may have already guessed she didn’t confine to bread solely and filled her shopping basket with other products. While she was shopping and chatting with me simultaneously, I decided that I wouldn’t pay for it. It wasn’t that I couldn’t afford that, it was a matter of principle for me. She was clearly using me. When the cashier was done and asked “cash or card?”. She grinned at me as if she was inviting me to pay, but I was firm in my decision. The woman in the line started getting a bit nervous so the tinder girl said

“Are you going to pay?”  

-” No” - I declared confidently.

- “You may go then”.

This time I obliged to her words and left the shop, feeling partly awkward and partly irate. Since the date went terribly I thought she wouldn’t need that takeaway so I picked it up. Heading home on the metro, I received a colourful message of such content. “I spend so much time on getting ready for the date, while you turned out to be such a cheapskate, you asshole. My high heels gave me blisters and I used very expensive cosmetics. You miserable masturbator, I wish you were dead”. I can’t recall all the details of the message, but it is close to the original. By the way, the masturbator thing isn’t true. Also, there was one more thing that really flabbergasted me. In her message, she mentioned that the day before she had had a date with a man who had bought her food for 3 600 rubles (52 US dollars). What kind of man does that? What’s wrong with the man? Why did he pay for her groceries? These are the questions I will never get answers to. 

The end

         In conclusion, I just would like to say that it was definitely an unforgettable experience. I must say that I was amused and bitter at the same time. What do you think of this experience of mine? Would you like to know more details? Please, share the story if you enjoyed it.

P.S. don’t be too hard on me as I’m just a rookie narrator.
