Date night

Love was in the air as I went on an awkward date with someone who I matched with on a dating app out of desperation.

The small talk and vibes like we were siblings was especially romantic. Her personality really stole the show.

She was not only into really vapid, basic bitch things. She also boasted about traveling and all of the vacations she has been on. Someone who grew up "upper middle class" (rich) and thinks it's weird that I haven't been to Munich or Norway. She reacted like she was disappointed when I said how I've only been able to start taking trips in the last couple of years and they haven't been out of the country.

There is the fundamental deal breaker on both ends. Her, not seeing me as a world-class traveler who'd take her on Titanic like adventures. And on my end, I saw her as shallow. I perceived her as judgmental and naive, someone who hasn't been through anything and tries to make up for her lack of personality by going on and on about whatever stupid ass boat cruises they've been on. It's not like a movie, in real life vacations don't change everything. If they did, she'd be a better person.

She'd ask me questions and not really listen. That was before the travel talk started. She also didn't put any effort into her appearance at all. I don't expect supermodel bullshit or anything extreme, especially on the first date. I also expect better than a worn ass hoodie and a perfume bath.

Needless to say I won't be seeing her again. I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
