Love me tinder
Maybe you can't find a date. Maybe you don't want to find a date. Maybe this whole thing was set up by your well-meaning friends, or your prank-playing enemies, or your over-involved mother. Whatever the reason, you're on a swipe-based dating system. Call it tinder, cuddlr, e-harmony but for shallow assholes... you're on it. What's the worst that could happen? |

Since I've been getting special treatment here, I'll give you a disclaimer though. My heart is not soft.
[ That's not entirely true, but Selina isn't actually aware of that herself. ]
My schedule is pretty open. We could even do it tomorrow if you want. No dietary restrictions, never really had the opportunity to get picky so I tend to eat what's there.
no subject
I don't know about that. People who don't have soft hearts down underneath don't rescue eight cats.
Tomorrow it is. It's a date. I'll send you my address and actually go grocery shopping. I've been swamped at work so living on protein bars.
no subject
In spite of what some people might think, I don't really enjoy making bleeding hearts bleed more.
I save that for the assholes.
You sure tomorrow doesn't feel overeager? Guess we've already been skipping some of the usual steps anyway so maybe it doesn't matter.
no subject
I don't think there's a statute of limitations that needs to expire before a date can be arranged. I'm envious of your flexible schedule though. What do you do for a living? I probably should have asked because if you're a black widow, I probably should prepare.
no subject
I'm between jobs. Kind of new in town so living on savings.
[ And theft... ]
Worked in a club before.
no subject
Nice. Gives you a chance to get familiar with the city.
Are you looking to work at another club or are you looking to make a change? I feel like it happens a lot that people come to New York and try to start something new.
no subject
I mean, I hated the club so not in a hurry to get back into that life.
Don't have a fancy degree of any kind though so can't exactly be too precious about it.
no subject
What was so bad about it? I don't have a lot of experience with clubs. The music is too loud and people tend to be assholes. I like dive bars more.
That's one way to think about it but the other is that fancy degrees kind of lock you into a career. What if I decided I wanted to be a lighthouse keeper or fortune cookie writer? I'd have to start from scratch. What do you want to do?
no subject
What do I want to do? I don't know. Survive. Afford rent. Feed the cats.
no subject
Asking what you want to do was probably a little too pie in the sky optimistic, wasn't it? Sorry about that.
no subject
You're fine, it was kind of cute in a way.
no subject
You can't expect a born and bred New Yorker to not make a comment about Jersey.
I'll lean on my eternal optimism in people being considered cute instead of annoying like it probably usually is.
no subject
Trust me, when you annoy me, you'll know it.
no subject
I'll have to warn you in advance of all of my annoying habits and traits that are as bad as my optimism.
no subject
Sounds like you're already thinking we'll be spending kind of a lot of time around each other. More optimism?
no subject
I do like to consider myself a pretty good date so I'll combine optimism with a decent track record.
