It is a truth universally acknowledged that in every friend group, there is one friend whose dating life more closely resembles the movie Saw instead of, say, When Harry Met Sally. If you’ve been that friend, well, our condolences. Also: We’ve been there.
Yes, much like you, we’ve been in the swamp that is the singles pool and waded through the muck, only to encounter men who reuse acupuncture needles and store them in their headboard, or women who have given us ecstasy, only to later reveal that there might be (read: definitely is) meth in it, too. The metaphor that finding love is like a needle in a haystack is perhaps not apt enough. We’d argue that it’s more like finding a vaguely smooth, nice-ish rock in a massive pile of shit.
Whether you’re still putting yourself out there or have given up on dating entirely (sure, this includes you happy fucks in fulfilling relationships), here are our collective dating woes.
