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.

This guy only wants to get laid, and immediately. I just want him to admit it.

Guy on OKC: Niki??

Me: That’s me :)

Guy: ;)

Guy: To late for txtn?

Stop abbreviating words. There are no character limits, man.

Me: Not yet

Guy: Too late for company?

Me: Company?

Guy: Say I wanted to meet u

Guy: Is it too late for tonight??

Me: It’s a little late tonight to go out

Guy: It is

Guy: :(

Guy: Ok

Guy: To late for a profile pic for my phone??

We haven’t met, only exchanged ten texts, and you want a special profile pic for your phone?
