"I met a guy on an app. He was fun to talk to and seemed very chill. He asked me to meet and said that he could order pizza and we could watch a movie. I wasn't super comfortable with going to someone's house right away so I suggested a public place, but he listed some good reasons to chill indoors. I went to his place and the dude didn't speak the way he texted at all. He just seemed completely different in person. I was too polite back then, so I stepped up. We proceeded to have the most dull conversation ever. He then tried to move in for a kiss. I stopped him and said I would leave if he thought that's all I came over for. He apologized and said he felt like there was a 'moment.'"

"I guess I should've known this guy would be weird when he took me to get a $2 coffee and paid in change that he took out of a homemade change purse reserved for his coin collection. When we went back to his place to connect more, he decided to show me his favorite music on his YouTube 'watch later' playlist and it was Scandinavian screamo music. I wasn't allowed to talk during it because I would 'ruin the song' if I interrupted. Those should've been my red flags, but I stayed because I was young and naive. He then proceeded to tell me he was a writer and he wanted me to play a game with him. He wrote mystery stories where it would be about an inanimate object and I had to guess what he was writing about. It made no sense and was actually quite awful."
