My Cringiest Tinder Date in China

Before COVID hit, I was in full date-mode.  I love dating, the thrill of possibilities meeting a new person! Most of my experiences were great fun, but sometimes a little bit of cringe finds its way in.  


This was one of those dates.  A man so cringe, so oblivious to social cues that I had to cut things off mid-pint. It’s all good though, the cringe makes you appreciate the good dates even more!



First at the start of the date he greets me with a chest bump…why? 


We will forever wonder. It was not a sporting match. I said I’m a hugger, but he opted for a bump. 



Then he proceeds to ask me if I know what Poland is.  The country Poland.  Have I heard of it? 


…yes, yes I have heard of Poland because I’m a person on this earth. 



He then starts insisting that I tell him a joke and "be funny." 


My guy....I am not a stand up comedian. It's not open mic time, we're having a beer.



Needless to say this arbitrary behavior, apparent doubts about my intelligence and demands on my comedic timing put a crimp in the night.  


We hadn’t finished one drink when, as he was half way to to the toilets, I yelled “good night!” from across the bar and cheezed it outta there quick! It was absurdist cringe.





Have you ever been on an awkward China Tinder date?
