An online date.

The Online Dating Meme





So you've swiped right. Maybe it was an accident; maybe you're really jonesing after seeing that picture of them fitting an entire Chipotle burrito in their mouth; or maybe, you're just so goddamned bored that lurking around on a hook-up app just seems like the best way to spend your Sunday afternoon. Whatever the case, you've just matched with someone. Want to feel them out with a chat that turns uncomfortably sexual in the middle of your workday? Or just skip straight to an awkward date where you realize they were using their best friend for their profile picture and you're trying to escape out the bathroom window? The uncomfortable world of internet dating is your oyster.


♦ Comment with your character, including preferences; put in your profile if you're feeling adventurous.
♦ Tag other people to make their lives attractively uncomfortable.

[More likely here for hookups than actual dating, but shenanigans with mismatched expectations are very much welcome.]

Im sorry this is very random

[Kaoru often called him stupid, though as Kojiro went on with his idiotic idea he realized Kaoru had no idea just exactly how stupid he could get.........

Because something broke in him when he saw Kaoru's profile on that dating app. It was definitely Kaoru, Kojiro could tell. As if he didn't memorize Kaoru's body while growing up with him. He could recognize him shirtless in any picture... And seeing the profile, the pictures, and knowing it is Kaoru, something just snapped in Kojiro.

Something snapped in him so much that he felt like he was in some kind of trance while he created a new profile, using one of his gym body's pictures and... basically catfished Kaoru. Now, if anyone asked why he'd do it he had no answer. Just static noise behind his eyes. It's like he's not himself ever since.

So when he enters the small café they set as their meeting point and spots Kaoru already sitting there, only then Kojiro feels just a bit of the weight of what he had done.

Kojiro approaches slowly, pointedly and as he arrives by Kaoru's table he finds that his words get stuck in his throat. Even greetings.]

[This isn't the first time Kaoru has done this, but it's not like he makes a regular habit of it, either. It's only when he gets too pent up to ignore it that he even reactivates his profile and shoves down his distaste for dealing with strangers.

Kaoru is pretty, and he knows it. It never takes too long to get a bite from someone who doesn't seem too off-putting. And then, once he's satisfied, he can just deactivate his account and delete the app again. It's a workable system, for the times when he's too busy with work to bother with anything else.

The operation doesn't usually have a wrench thrown in it just like this. He's just thinking that the guy from the app should be showing up right about now when he glances up and sees Kojiro instead. He does a double take, and his anger flares instantly.]


Kojiro?! Why aren't you--no, never mind, there's no time for that. You can't be here right now! I'm... I'm meeting someone.

[Of all the horrible coincidences! Of all the places on this damn island! The guy in the photos was well-built, but there's still a chance he'd have second thoughts if he showed up to find someone as absurdly oversized and self-possessed as Kojiro hovering around Kaoru.]

Are you cringing yet? Because I sure am. Sorry for the awkward. How is your day going?

Hey, remember the WASSSUPPPPPPP commercials? At least you didn't try that, otherwise that would've been way worse. I would've laughed. Like, really hard.

But yeah, I'm good, not that busy, all things considered. How's yours? Please tell me you're having more fun that I currently am.


[Sitting. Waiting for his Spidey sense to tingle and tell him that something's going on.]

[Here to try dating for the first time in a few years after a messy breakup. Accurately advertises himself as religious but not conservative, looking for a long-term commitment and willing to take things slow. More info in journal.]
