Hook-up culture in Lebanon is a mess because there will always<\/i> be an awkward experience that will scar you for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n

Here are a few notable experiences that you might have while hooking up in Beirut.<\/p>\n

1. You know one of their close relatives<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cBta3ref Celine?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYi eh bas ktir hayawene\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHay bent 3amme\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Or even worse, you realize you yourselves are distant relatives<\/b><\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cya ared nsha2e w bla3eene\u201d is not enough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. They turn out to be pro [insert political party name here] and go on a passionate rant for a good 30 mins<\/b><\/p>\n

At this point they\u2019re more turned on by their leader than they are by you. Time to flee the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. When you can tell they don\u2019t watch enough of Dr. Sandrine\u2019s videos<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHek?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLa2\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTab hek?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKamen la2\u201d<\/p>\n

5. When you realize they\u2019re on the 11th floor w mafi kahraba<\/b><\/p>\n

As the iconic Kawkab Zuhal once said, \u201cNo man is worth 11 floors for a fuck\u201d. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. When they have a picture of their teta in their room<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be haunted forever.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cEh ma b koon fi hada bel bet\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

There was, in fact, hada bel bet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Walking past the natour again after no more than 30 minutes of your \u201cvisit\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Oh, he knows. He definitely knows.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. You forget their name<\/b><\/p>\n

Farid? Faraj? Fadi? Farouk?<\/p>\n

10. When they took \u201cNetflix and Chill\u201d too seriously<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201c3abelik tehdare Lord of the Rings?\u201d<\/p>\n

And you sit through the entire 3 hours\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

11. They have garlic breath<\/b><\/p>\n
