Love, sex and dating are often venerated as ‘the ultimate goal of life’. However how much of our quest for love is about avoiding being with ourselves? About facing reality? About creating our own direction? And in running away from ourselves in love, do we ultimately avoid the work needed to return to selfhood that will actually bring us happiness.

My Seven Awful Tinder Dates
By Rachel Fuson

The modern world of dating is a god damn war zone. It’s hard enough to meet a decent person in real life, but trying to meet someone online is a whole different realm of chaos. For those of you that don’t know, Tinder is a mobile dating app that allows losers like myself to “swipe” yes or no on other, equally as pathetic people. If we both swipe right, it’s a “match” and the floodgates of communication open. Basically, this app allows you to waste your time sifting through profiles, hoping to stumble across someone who seems relatively normal and is half way decent looking.

When I moved to Portland this summer, I thought Tinder would be a great way to put myself out there. I had just gotten out of a relationship and it seemed like a fun, easy way to meet new people. Boy, did I have no idea what I was in for. Of course I always took the proper precautions when I went out (talking with them extensively beforehand, meeting first in public, etc.). but nothing could have prepared me this. After much thought and deliberation, I give you seven very real accounts of the worst dates I’ve ever been on, no thanks to Tinder.

#7. The Guy Who Was Actually Nineteen
In my defense, he definitely seemed to be a few years older. He was smooth, mature, intelligent, and seemed to have a lot going for him. That is… until he started talking about his football team. I asked him if he played for a college, and he got red in the face and quickly changed the subject. It was only after a few minutes of prying that he finally blurted out that he was a senior. In high school. As I got up to leave he tried to justify that he “only told me he was 22 because he thought I would never go out with someone who was younger on my own accord.” You were correct, sir.

#6. The Guy Who Was 2 Hood 4 Me
When I was greeted with, “Aye! Wass good lil mama!?” I immediately realized that I’d made a grave mistake. I smiled back and weakly replied that I was fine, thank you. Thinking back, I should definitely have responded with a snappy “are you always so poetic?” We had met up for ice cream at Salt N Straw on NW 23rd Ave. in Portland, and there was a long line. The next forty-five minutes were spent with the sun beating down on my forehead and internally cringing at his complete disregard for just about everything. Seriously, you name it. Grammar, manners, the fact that there were small children scattered all around as he cursed every other word. As we moved further up the line, he told me about his life growing up in the projects (his language, not mine) and how he aspired to “make enough dollas to neva eva go back.” I, too, aspire to neva eva go back.

#5. The Guy Who Photoshopped His Profile Pictures
I should have really looked into this one more before I agreed to meeting up. First of all, his name was Leonardo, so that’s problem number one. Second, he talked about his looks a lot (like, a lot) which should have been a red flag that there was something wrong. He told me all about how tall he was, and how much he weighed, etc. but I thought nothing of it, because they seemed to be normal measurements and I am not too concerned with that in the first place. What I am concerned with is when someone extensively photo shops their own pictures in order to make themselves look taller and not morbidly obese. Well guess what. Leo was approximately 5’6” and at LEAST 200 lbs. He even wore those god awful tight skater pants that exposed just how out of shape he was. I was really irritated that he had lied about this, but then felt bad and thought maybe he could be a nice guy who just really needed a date. Nope. His personality was just as awful as his photo edits. I’m not proud of the fact that I sat through four beers with Leonardo because he was buying, or that I agreed to go to a future Trailblazers game that I knew I’d never attend, but hey. At least I was honest about who I was.

#4. The Guy Who Only Talked About Work
First of all, I have to say that I truly appreciate when people are passionate about what they do. As a graduating senior this may, I hope to find a job that I love and want to share with others. But I could never live my work like this guy does. Now, I thought we would get along great because we were both Greeks and both business students. I am studying marketing, he went into sales. I don’t even remember what the hell it was that he sold, although I should remember. I should actually be an expert. Why? Because he spent the better part of two hours explaining the logistics of the technology behind it. And that is what we talked about. The entire time. He then begged me to come out with him for a night of dancing, and I should have stopped while I was ahead. But he was cute, and I thought maybe I could save the date. So while we were out, he got a phone call from one of his “best clients”, aka some rich old man who frequently bought speakers for his fleet of Malibu boats. My date then hung up the phone and exclaimed, “I’m so glad you’re dressed up! Steve is coming out with us tonight! I need you to impress him!” Um, what? The rest of my evening was spent with my date and a sixty something year old man getting black out drunk downtown and talking about boats accompanied by a slew of weird comments about my dress. I called an Uber home and never looked back.

#3.The Guy Who Only Talked About His Mom
Again, I think it’s great when a man is family-oriented. It tends to be attractive when a guy has a great relationship with his mother. But everything is only good in moderation. It is difficult to explain the insanely creepy obsession this guy had with his mom. To say she was his best friend would be a gross understatement. They got coffee together multiple times a week. She came over to his house to cook for him, do his laundry, bring his groceries etc. (by the way, how dependent CAN YOU STILL BE at 24 years old?). In short, he spent our entire date gushing about how wonderful his mother was. And when he asked me things about myself, he’d say things like “oh! My mom does that too! You have so much in common.” Please, no. It was such a bizarre experience. Like, I get it. I love my mom too. But you need to make some other friends. By the end of the date I felt like I knew his mother way more than I knew him. Oh and by the way she didn’t even sound that great. But I didn’t have the heart to tell him that.

#2. The Bastard Who Stole My Favorite Book
Oh, Michael. I really thought we had something special. We had such a grand time gallivanting through parks, exploring old dive bars and bonding over the fact that we both know an absurd amount about Greek Mythology. Yes, Michael was excellent. Until one weekend when he had to travel to California for work. I suggested he borrow my favorite book, The Alchemist, because I thought he would enjoy it on his flight. Well, I drove him to the airport and waved goodbye. And that was the last time I saw Michael. Weeks went by and I became incredibly offended. Not because I was distraught over his absence but because I wanted my god damn book back. It’s about self-discovery for crying out loud. Anyways, I never heard from him again, but a few weeks later connected that his ex-girlfriend lives in the part of California he was visiting. My theory is that she was so overwhelmed with his new view of life (that he clearly derived from MY book) that she took his lame ass back.By the way, if you haven’t read much Paulo Coelho, 10/10 would recommend.

#1. The Guy With The Sith Lord Tattoo
There are some very strange people in this world, my friends. And the terrifying thing is that more often than not, they disguise themselves as cute quirky nerds and then lay wait for you in places like Powell’s Bookstore. I’m not usually into the sci-fi scene, but this guy was a very rare breed of cat and somehow made it all work. We hit it off surprisingly well, and spent the whole afternoon together walking around downtown and chatting. During this conversation we somehow got on the subject of our mutual love of Star Wars (by somehow I mean I guessed that he liked it and I slyly brought it up because my flirt game is just that strong) and we delved into a long discussion over the classics. During this time he made an offhanded joke about how he was a Sith Lord, which I thought nothing of at the time. He added me on snapchat a few minutes after we left, which I thought was a bit over eager but nothing that strange. Then I saw his username. Sithlord199-. Then he sent me a snapchat: “want to see my tattoo?” This was strange, since it was completely out of the blue and we had just got done hanging out less than an hour ago. I should have said no. I should have just said no. IF ANYONE EVER ASKS YOU IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEIR TATTOO, JUST SAY NO.

So I said sure, and the picture I received is still burned into my frontal cortex to this day.

Image a giant tattoo that covers someones entire chest and stomach.

Now imagine the tattoo is of Darth Mauls face.

I’m not kidding. It covered his entire body. The worst part is that he then went on to explain to me just how much he personally identified as a Sith Lord. As in, he psychotically associated himself with the dark ways of the force and was completely freaking nuts. He proceeded to go 0-100 and let out all the crazy, all at once. I think the reason it was so traumatizing was because we had just spent an entire day together and he had totally hidden this side of him. Needless to say, this was not exactly what I had in mind when I hoped to meet someone who shared my love of Star Wars. To this day I still don’t understand why he felt the need to share his terrifying chest tattoo with me, because it was something straight out of the nightmare zone. In fact, after I blocked his phone number I kind of just went home and crawled underneath my covers.

Although I’ve been on some of the worst dates of my life because of Tinder, I’ve also met some great guys. I certainly have a love/hate relationship with this app, and let’s be honest I’m probably going to continue using it. In fact, I actually have a date set up for later this week. Let’s call him The Guy Who Might Be As Sassy As I Am.

Details to come soon! In the mean time, happy swiping!

Does True Love exist: I like to believe so.

You know you’re in love when….: When I start to bake for you.

Why should someone take your advice on love: I understand men because I think like one. I understand women because I am one.

Hello Mecca,
I’ve been in a relationship with my man for the past 7 years and we have a son together. His family has never been supportive of our relationship and they don’t like me at all. Even though we’ve been together for so long, I don’t like some of his ways, but he has made some changes, speaking up for me against his family and he stopped hanging out every night. But, there are still things that haven’t changed like him wanting to mess around online and text other females behind my back. I’ve dealt with a lot of lies, dishonesty, and just straight games with this man. Every time I think our relationship has reached another level and think things between us has gotten better, he does something messy with some chick. I have been more than a good woman to him. I have showed him nothing but compassion, love, honesty, faithfulness, and loyalty. What have I received in a return? A bunch of lies and I’m so done. I’ve forgiven him time and time again, and thought he changed. He says he is in love with me, only wants to be with me, and he says he wants to get married. But, I feel that it’s all about actions and his actions shows otherwise. I’ve been waiting for him to “Man Up” far too long, what do I have to do to speed up this marriage process?

Sincerely,
Am I Delaying The Inevitable?

Dear Am I Delaying the Inevitable?,
It sounds like your guy has a fear of commitment or may have “The Grass is Greener on the Other Side” Syndrome. You cannot babysit a grown man! You checking up on him isn’t going to prevent him from stopping this shady behavior. He will just think of more clever ways to hide things from you. At this point, it’s best to let him go. It doesn’t have to be permanent but this will give him the message that you are not to be played with. You and your child aren’t a game. Let him know you mean business. Do not accept this behavior from him. You and your child deserve so much better. I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Mecca

Hi Mecca,
Okay so I’ve been texting and snapchatting this girl for a few months now. We’ve known each other for years as she was a promo model for a few car shows my car crew has been a part of, so we’ve hung out all the time. We were out of touch for about 2 years, when in that time she got married and had a baby. We got back in touch because her marriage was going through some problems and they became separated. We live in different cities about an 1 hour and a half away and with her having a kid and my hectic work schedule it’s hard for us to always meet up which is why we constantly use social media to communicate with each other. Her ex-husband is a good father and does manage to stay in her life for the baby, which is not a big deal to me because I know that the baby daddy always has the opportunity to be around for his family. We have had conversations about their situation and I have asked if he still has a shot with her and she always replies with “I can’t say no because he’s my daughter’s father, but I also like you as well so please just be patience with me.” She recently sent me an invitation to her daughter 1st birthday and I thought that was her way of saying that she’s trying to give us a shot. Valentine’s Day was coming up and I wanted to do something nice for her to show my appreciation for her showing an effort. So, since I couldn’t be there in person for work reasons, I still wanted to make a way out of no way by mailing her flowers, wine, and cookies to her apartment. She got everything on valentine’s day and she was very appreciative for what I did and told me that she wanted me to mail her more of those cookies. She even said that she would save a cookie and some wine for me when I visit for the birthday party. Everything was going well, but for some reason, I got this weird feeling that I should check her instagram. When I checked her instagram, I saw a photo that she posted a couple days before Valentine’s Day of her at wedding with her baby daddy and in the caption she used the hashtags #ShitHappens #MCE #BabyDaddy. After I saw that, I felt stupid because I felt like my efforts were all for nothing and I also felt dumb for looking at her social media. Since I checked her Instagram, I haven’t text her back or snapchatted her because I know that all I wanted to ask her about is that photo and what’s going on with her baby daddy? More importantly I wanted to know why is she inviting me to this birthday party knowing that her baby daddy going to be there being all about them as a couple? A part of me is just saying f*ck it and just lose the girl number and another side of me is like you need to talk to her about it because you may have misread the entire situation. I just want to know how I should handle the whole thing because she is a good girl, but I’m not auditioning to be a side guy either. HELP ME PLEASE!

Sincerely,
Believe what you see or what you snap?

Dear Believe What You See or What You Snap,
You need to get clarification on what is going on. Ask her where your relationship stands. She may have a child with another man… but there should still be some boundaries between her and the child’s father. Especially if she is starting something new with you. I would ask her about that post as well. If you figure it out and stay together then great! If not, then at least you got closure.

Sincerely,
Mecca

Dear Mecca,
I’m currently going through ups and downs with my relationship. You see, he and I are both in the same business and have had feelings for each other for quite some time. When we first met he was in a relationship with one of my best friends, but she did cheat on him a few times and I did help her cheat on him a few of those times. Their relationship only lasted a few months. However, after the breakup, we did end up hanging out within the same circles, and after I got to know him, I considered him to be really attractive. Now, I don’t know how my homegirl knew I was attracted to him because I never said anything to anyone about it, but she did. She confronted me about being attracted to him on many occasions, but I denied it because I didn’t want to ruin a good friendship with her. Well, fast forward, they’ve since broken up since last summer, and he’s now exclusively with me. Yes, I did kind of betray my friend by hooking up with her ex, but if you knew the things she put him through you’d flip! She’s insulted him, repeatedly nagged him, and from what he’s told me, she had major anger issues towards the end of their relationship. Now, I’m not justifying my hooking up with him, but he needed someone better in his life to encourage and support him….that’s ME! When I decided to go public with our relationship, I didn’t see anything wrong with it because it’s my business. But, my friend took it upon herself to blast me and him on social media and made complete fools out of herself, me, and him. Now, people think I betrayed her, when in fact she was in the wrong for treating such a good man like dirt and then ruining my reputation. People think I’m the bad guy, when in reality she’s the child! I’m trying to ignore it because it’s childish and stupid, but the things she said are really hurtful! She’s ruined our friendship, and my relationship is suffering because of it. He’s very angry at her, but he won’t even set her straight. This is his problem too, but instead he wants me to lay low and not even respond saying, “She is a good person. She’s just upset. It’ll pass.” She’s also sent me a long-winded text message about how I’m a sh***y person and a terrible friend for lying to her. She even called me “A Dog.” I once considered her a great friend. She and I had our differences, but if there was ever something I needed or wanted to talk about, she was there with no questions asked. I want my friend back, but she’s resorted to being so childish and stupid it’s impossible. I know her and him didn’t work out, and she’s since moved on and even gotten her life together…but what can I do? She’s said some very hurtful things, and she’s supposed to be my friend. Friends don’t air their dirty laundry like that!

Sincerely,
Guilty by Accusation

Dear Guilty by Accusation,
You may not like what I have to say but… You have to put yourself in your friend’s shoes. She feels betrayed by you. In her eyes you broke girl code by dealing with her ex. You also can’t complain about how bad she mistreated your current boyfriend (her ex) when you participated in the dirt she had been doing to him. That makes you even more guilty. The best thing to do is to let it go. You may not be able to save this friendship right now. You want your friend back and your current boyfriend who used to be her ex? You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Let it go.

Sincerely,
Mecca

Hey Mecca,
For 10 years now, I’ve been with a wonderful woman who has been there for me through thick and thin. She’s the apple of my eye and my best friend. We’re teachers at the same high school. Our dean of students is my girlfriend’s uncle through marriage. Through childhood and my teens, I have battled with my sexuality, unbeknownst to anyone. Living in the world we live in now where everything ends up on social media, I just decided not to tell anyone and just live life as a heterosexual male. Now, that I am in my mid-20s, I’ve felt it was unfair to my girlfriend and live this lie. She deserved the truth and I was working on telling her myself, but things turned for the worst. I would visit gay bars in different cities and I’ve enjoyed them. I needed help coming clean. So, I went to someone I could trust. One day, I stopped by my girlfriend’s uncle’s office and decided to talk him. I knew he wouldn’t judge me and would give me the advice that best fit my problem. He told me to drop by his place and that we’d discuss it there because he was too busy at school. Later that night, I stopped by and explained my situation from childhood up until this point. I had never been with a man intimately, but I knew I no longer could resist temptation and I knew what I desired. He listened to my issues and even told me that he even fought with his sexuality at times throughout his life, so I shouldn’t feel like I’m the only one going through this. As soon as he said that, I felt this emotional connection towards him which led me to kiss him and start feeling in his lower region with my hand. Something just came over me, but he didn’t stop me and we did end up having sexual intercourse that night. When I got home I immediately took a shower because I felt dirty mentally. My girlfriend was suspicious that I took a shower immediately when I got home and begin to question if I was cheating on her. I told her no and asked why would she ask me that? She said that she had called my friend and asked was I with him and he said no. She’d been calling my phone and not getting any answers, which I had seen, but deliberately decided not to answer. I told her no, and that I had a talk with her uncle and that was the reasoning for me not answer. She called and he confirmed it. I felt so bad doing the things I’d done and I have to admit being with guys was not what I thought it was. I actually enjoy my girlfriend more. I decided not to visit gay bars anymore and to live as a straight man. I also decided not to tell my girlfriend of my infidelities because at that point I knew who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and that was her. Two weeks later, my girlfriend got a text from one of her friends which turned out to be a photo of me in a gay bar dancing with another man. About twenty minutes passed and my girl came out of the room fuming. She had been talking to her friend the entire time. I tried to explain, but she kicked me out of the house. She then went on Facebook and wrote a long rant about how her life was a lie. She outed me as a gay man and said how she was beyond mad that a man she knew for almost 7 years could hurt her so much. She would not answer my calls, text or anything. After about 3 hours passed, she had deleted the post, but the damage was done. It was the talk of the town. My girlfriend and I have a very social life and almost everybody in our city knows us and our families. I was hurt, sad, and depressed about this. I wanted to tell her, but I didn’t want her to find out like this. My girlfriend and I did eventually talk and I did come clean thinking that was gonna be it, but that would not be the case. My girlfriend wants me to blast her uncle and let everyone know his truth. I don’t want to because I know how I felt when it was done to me. He is a well-respected man in our community and tarnishing his reputation is not going to serve me justice in any way. My girlfriend is telling me that in order to work on our relationship that I have to be honest with everyone, even if that means outing her uncle. I really want to work on my relationship, but I don’t think outing my personal life or her uncle’s sexual preference is going to help much. It’s going to cause more hurt than anything. What should I do? I really love my girlfriend, but I’m not the type of guy to do this to myself or anyone else and she knows this. I’m really lost for words and feel like my back is up against the wall. Help me get in the right direction.

Sincerely,
Do Strikes Make Outs

Dear Do Strikes Make Outs,
Your girlfriend is angry. That’s understandable but it is not your responsibility to “out” someone’s sexual preference. She should be focused on you and her period. If she wants people to know the truth about him then she should take it upon herself to do so. You admitted and took responsibility for your wrong doing. That’s the only thing that matters. I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Mecca

What’s Up Mecca,
So, here’s the deal, I met this guy 2 weeks ago at a football party. He has texted me non-stop, even texted good morning and good night every day. Not to mention he texted me as soon as we get off work. I’m pretty sure he’s a player, but because I see the best in people I am not so good at being a judge of character. Ok, so he asked to come over one night, but then when I told him he couldn’t spend the night he changed his mind. Then he proceeded to say maybe we can do dinner and a movie one night this week. I said ok. That night came, I asked him what we were going to do and he said a lot of cuddling and kissing. I reminded him that he mentioned dinner and movie; then he said he would cook for me. After I let him know that he had to bring whatever he was cooking, he decided he wasn’t about all that. So, he came over and we just hung out in my living room talking and watching TV. Then he invites me to his softball game, so I go. The following Friday night, I finally let him sleep over. We had sex, which wasn’t that great actually. He came over the next night to a party I was hosting. He spent the night again, but we didn’t have sex. The next day (Sunday) he decided that he didn’t know what he wanted anymore. He went from wanting to date me and possibly a relationship to not knowing what he wanted. However, he says he doesn’t want to end things completely. I mean seriously? What do I do now?

Sincerely,
The Game We Play

Dear The Game We Play,
Beware of men like this! This man is not being authentic with you. He told you what he thought you wanted to hear. He is a charmer and tells sweet little lies to get sex. Not the man for you. Cut him off quick!

Sincerely,
Mecca

Hello Mecca,
We have been together for a little over a year, but his mother still doesn’t want to meet me. He had an ex of 5 years, and she became best friends with his mom. After they broke up, she still calls her, has lunch with her, goes out with her, and invites her on trips. When we started seeing each other I asked him to meet his mother. So, he tried to set up lunch or dinner between the three of us so she could get to know me. But, she refused to go, she told him that the reason she didn’t want to meet me was because she did not approve of the fact that he was already dating and that he had not waited an appropriate length of time before seeing other people (according to her, he shouldn’t date for at least a year out of respect for the ex). She said he was hurting his ex for no reason by dating me. To sum it up, she told him that she respected his choice (of dating me), but didn’t agree with what he was doing, so she wanted nothing to do with me. I let it go at that point, because things were getting tense and I didn’t want to meet someone who already hated me without even knowing me. To make things worse, she even told him not to bring me home without notice, either he comes alone or she won’t receive anyone in her house (Just to be clear, my boyfriend doesn’t live with her, since he split up with his ex he lives with his dad, so he visits his mother on the weekends). It’s already been more than a year since we got together. And, his mother is still friends with the ex. They go to church together, have lunch, and his mother still invites him to join them for lunch (knowing we are together), but he refuses. He told me that, in the beginning, whenever he told her anything about me she snapped and didn’t want to listen to him. So, he couldn’t tell her anything about us, what we did, where we went or anything related to us. Recently, he’s told me that she isn’t reacting as badly as before. He gets to make comments that involve me without her snapping and yelling about how much of a horrible person I am. But, it only gets to be a very short conversation because she doesn’t show much interest. – What should I do? Should I just expect to never meet her?

Sincerely,
Mommy Did This

Dear Mommy Did This,
This is a difficult situation because your boyfriend is torn between the woman that raised him and the woman he is in love with. If his mother doesn’t want to meet you then fine. However, your boyfriend needs to make it clear to his mother that YOU are now the current woman in his life not his ex. She has to respect that. If she doesn’t, then it’s her loss. She is being very judgmental and childish. His mother’s behavior will have a negative impact on your relationship if your boyfriend doesn’t set any boundaries. He should not allow her to talk negatively about you since she does not know you. It has to stop.

Sincerely,
Mecca

Identical twins Anna and Lucy DeCinque, 30, appeared on a special episode of Australian talk show The Insight to discuss how identical they really are. They are so identical they actually share a boyfriend. It works, just hear them out.

“We’ve had separate boyfriends before, but they didn’t understand our closeness. Ben understands we want to be together all the time,” because he is a twin (albeit a fraternal one) as well. One of the twins—neither the show nor any site covering their appearance identified them by name because it’s too hard to tell who is who—said it’s Ben’s fellow twin-ness that makes him a good boyfriend to both of them: “He understands the twin thing and the very close bond we have with each other.” The three of them share a room at the twins’ mother’s house.

The twins told Perth Now that they are not yet thinking about pregnancy, but when one of them does become pregnant, “We would have to be exactly the same—even if we went through IVF at the same time,” because their bodies need to be exactly the same always.

Perth Now also reports that the women have spent nearly $250,000 on cosmetic surgeries over the past 10 years to ensure they look exactly alike.
