I hadn’t even finished my second drink.” –Anastasia, 27, Brooklyn “On my first-ever Tinder date, the man’s photos didn’t really give an idea of what he looked like and when he showed up, he was very funny and nice, but I knew I was never going to be attracted to him.He spent all night chain-smoking, getting me very drunk, and then lunged in for a kiss before hopping on a bus home.He was a high school music teacher and I’d had painted him in my mind as an altruistic man of musical theory.I showed up and found myself face-to-face with a version of the man who was ten years older and twenty pounds heavier than his pictures.“On my first date with my now husband, we went to a local pizza place and sat on the same side of a booth because it was really busy and loud.

He seemed to want to leave with the belief that I fancied him, though, as some sort of ego boost.

It’s a small comfort to know that if you end up venturing into a date that’s a total waste of time, a hilarious mismatch, or ends horrifically, you’ll automatically be the most interesting person at brunch the next weekend.
