Two friends, on Tinder.

Raj: I recently increased my age cap for women on Tinder to thirty-six. Before this, the deck was constantly running out of women and I had to wait half an hour to receive another set. Now, I’m yet to run out of prospective dates! 

Cecily: What was your age range before!?

Raj: Eighteen to thirty-one. 

Cecily: But you’re forty-three!

Raj: Over the age of thirty-one, they’re all married with children. I needed some way to filter those out efficiently. Women over thirty-one are wider, they’re heavier. I tend to find this trend is worse in the north of England. I know I’m forty-three, but have you seen what a forty-three year-old single woman looks like? 

Cecily, messaging while Marty McFly is in the bathroom.

Cecily: I am on a first date with Marty McFly. He’s wearing a half-denim varsity jacket. He said “Don’t cry for me Argentina”, when he left for the bathroom, and he has a watch with a digital face.

I’m into the weird ’80s/90s vibe, but I do feel like I’m living in a period film. He said I was like Zelda Fitzgerald. So our eras have collided into great making out and digital-faced watches and big vintage hats.

I will likely never see him again, because I can’t deal with someone who says the words “fresh” and “slammin'” un-ironically.

He has a haircut that makes him look like the Karate Kid. Also, he has Warner Brothers characters on his hoodie, and a cute smile. There are white pants and shoes involved, after Labor Day. He continually references Peewee Herman. He uses the Internet, even though personality-wise, it really feels like he shouldn’t.

From his touch, he may be really good in bed. We have a physical connection despite the lack of congruent eras.
