Reasons for Rejection

The guys I meet on Bumble

By Kay HusnickPublished 6 years ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Allergic to cats, boosted the time two seconds after we matched,

doesn't have a working phone number and wanted to talk through Discord,

asked 'is that a band?' after I told him my favorite as though I didn't understand what he meant when he asked and told him a random location on Earth instead,

was definitely a catfish and kept sending me messages anyway,

terrifying political opinions,

I only swiped right to ask him a question from his profile that he got very defensive about me asking,

had your first name and I thought I could handle it but it turns out I was wrong,

wouldn't talk about anything other than his dog,

only responded with emojis for some reason and I didn't care enough to ask,

called me 'babes' after one message,

kept trying to get me to talk about my anxiety with him as though he wasn't still essentially a stranger,

wanted to switch to Snapchat but only sent me snaps out the windshield of his car,

got irritated if I didn't respond right away, not that I was even busy, but Criminal Minds seems more important than a guy I don't know
