The chronicles of a single who doesn't want to mingle

My sister is the reason for the crime that is about to happen. She was like you should document all those incidents that happen with you in dates. I think she got tired of me talking about how all of my dates fail, and how I don’t like any of those I go out with. I decided to use this platform and just rant about my disappointment in men. I am going to use my qualitative research skills and come up with pseudonyms for my dates. If by a miracle you identify yourself as one of those men below, I hope you are not offended. If you haven't made me feel really bad I wouldn't have wrote about it.

Me: I really like you, and I am interested in having a serious commitment with you

Mohammed: "I like you too, but I can't marry you, you are Egyptian"

Me: in my head, Wow! And I thought Americans are racist

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arjun: “Thank you, that was very educational”

Me: In my head, wow! What a way to end a date

Arjun: “I can’t believe you are Egyptian”

Me: And I thought his comments can’t get any worse

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: What was the longest flight that you have ever been on?

Mark: “I have never been on a plane”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris: I like travelling, I have been to many places, NY, Chicago,..etc

Me: What other countries have you visited?

Chris: “I have never been outside of the United States”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vijay: Let’s go to the cinema

Me: Sure, I work at the theatre btw, so you can just come after my shift ends and we will watch a movie together

Vijay: “Can you get me a ticket?”

Me: No, only the volunteers get a ticket

Vijay: “I hope it is not expensive”

Dudeee, how expensive a cinema ticket can be? Plus, you are not even paying for us both, plus you are the one who said let’s go to the cinema.

Terrell: before our first date “I just want to chill, maybe kiss and cuddle”

Me: block

Wednesday

Me: I am looking for a husband, I actually do want to get married

Omar: "Whaaat? No way, I thought you are a feminist. You really shocked me here"

Me: I am a feminist. That doesn't mean I hate men, I just hate misogyny. Feminists do get married!

The following Saturday

Omar: I think we should stay friends, just friends

I never saw Omar again after that day. I think Omar is scared of commitment, or he doesn't know what he wants, or he was hoping to just 'have fun' with me
