“i accidently stabbed
the waiter with a
shrimp skewer.”
viren, 22“i was a month out of
a four-year
relationship and a
cute co-worker asked
me out on a date.
unfortunately, i got too
drunk and kept talking
about my ex. she gave
me a second chance a
month later, and i did
it again.”
manoj, 25“i wanted to surprise
her with a home-cooked
dinner, but i made a
mess in the process.
her dog ate all the
scraps off the floor and
went on to have
diarrhea for the rest of
the night. she wasn’t
pleased.”
mahesh, 26“i had eaten a really
spicy kottu a few hours
before the date. we
went to a fancy
restaurant and i had to
go to the bathroom threetimes during the two
hours we were there.
the waiters were
staring and she looked
embarrassed. after
dinner, she insisted i go
home and rest. no
second date there.”
dinesh, 24“Within the first 10
minutes of sitting down,
i had spilled and
shattered a very tall
glass of beer all over
myself. after returning
from the bathroom, i
jostled the table andspilled more beer on
her food. i knew she
was a winner when
she didn’t break
conversation or eye
contact.”
chinthaka, 28“i once shook my
date’s hand when we
were saying goodbye.
that was profoundly
awkward.”
binura, 23“i am a strict vegan
and make it clear to any
potential suitors beforewe ever go out. that
didn’t stop her from
dragging me to a bbQ
on our first (and last)
date. i ate garlic bread
and salad, while she
feasted on enough meat
to feed a small town.”
dinith, 26“i had to tell her she
couldn’t get dessert
because i didn’t have
enough money! i was
17, with no job, and that
was all the money i had
to my name...”
