I met him on Hinge and our chats were surprisingly good. We decided to meet at a mall because it felt safe and casual. The first hour went perfectly until we started discussing past relationships.
He made a joke about girls keeping "backup options," and I disagreed. Somehow the discussion turned into an argument about loyalty, male friends, female friends, and dating apps. We were practically debating in the food court while strangers stared at us.
I assumed we would never speak again. That night, he messaged, "Worst first date ever. Same time next week?" I laughed and agreed. We have been dating for eight months now, and yes, we still argue about almost everything.
