Cupid Tinder Match: In the Upside Down
Reporting live from the murder scene of your dating hopes and dreams
Oh man! I found a folder of old drafts of my online dating story ridiculousness from before Covid times! Because the Good Lord knows I don’t fuck with online dating anymore. So please enjoy this back-log from The Before Time, in the Long Long Ago.
Guy on Match who is four years older than me: When you say 80’s queen, are referring to what exactly? Liking all genres of 80’s music or just Queen? Trust me when I say the 80’s are a but more complex than just “80’s music” as there are a lot of styles that don’t necessarily mix. But who am I to judge? I listen to Wham and Sade but will get going on Depeche Mode and Jane’s Addiction.
Me: Movies, actually. But really, all things 80s. Did… did you just explain that there are different styles of music? 😂 To a self professed 80s Queen? Who was alive and kicking for the entirety of the 80s? 🤔🤣 DO go on. Tell me more about this New Coke! 😜😂
Guy: New Coke was a disaster. If I ever get a dog or a cat; I would name it Lloyd Dobler (Ding!) I once wrote a short story using only Depeche Mode song titles. Fun fact but I have always felt that Die Hard was the ultimate Christmas movie long before it became a thing on social media.
