We all have a right to love and be loved. Do you think what we're asking for is unreasonable?
But if you've ever been single, and we've all been at some point, you know what a blessing and a curse it can be. No matter what the media and applications that people download and then delete in a cycle of hope and sorrow would have us believe, let's face it: the dating game is not for the weak of heart.
The truth, however, is somewhere between the lines of true accounts from individuals who have made it through the most difficult dates. Although the level of awkwardness varies greatly from date to date, everyone who has had a horrible date has a funny, hopefully funny, recollection to share.
We hope this article has helped you learn about red flags you should keep an eye out for.
Still blaming yourself after “leading my friend astray,” read how she called you out after your disastrous dating advice backfired.
