“So I went to lunch with this guy and we both ordered food. Once the plates came, I started eating but he didn’t. I asked him why he wasn’t eating and if something was wrong with the food. He assured me there wasn’t anything wrong, he was just too embarrassed to eat in front of a girl on the first date. So I laughed and finished my plate and he still insisted on not eating. That was the last time I went out with him.”

“We went to a pub one night and ordered a few beers but as we were talking I noticed she was stupid as hell. I tried to speed up the conversation as much as possible. We never went on a second date.”

“I was feeling sick during our coffee date and we just so happened to bump into his family. They decided they wanted to go eat and insisted I tag along. By the time the food arrived I was extremely nauseous. I did everything I could to keep the food down and avoid vomiting on his sister’s Chanel.”
