“I told an anecdote about a male friend, and the guy changed his entire tone. He clarified with me that this was a male friend I was talking about, not a woman, and suddenly got bitter about how women are shallow and never go for guys like him.

“I was literally on a date with him and had potentially been interested before that. Meanwhile, the guy in the anecdote I was telling is one of my best friends. Wild red flag.”

“I went to a religious college and asked a girl out to a café for some pie and coffee. She asked me to pray a blessing over our pie, so I said a quick prayer. After I said, ‘Amen’, she squeezed my hand, looked me in the eyes, and said: ‘I’d better pray.’ Lmao.”
