The things you hear about dating in 2019 is enough to make you feel grateful to be in committed, long-term relationship and to have left that scene well in your rearview mirror.
Folks, if you're still single and putting yourself out there, well, my hat is off to you, and I wish you all the luck in the world, because you'll need it.
Listen, dating etiquette has never been easy to navigate, but as one guy found out, sometimes a mishap in etiquette is also a sign to steer clear.
Apparently he had been out on a first date and, afterwards, he was worried about being ghosted.
Turns out he didn't have to worry about that as much as the exact opposite after his date asked him to turn on read receipts, even giving him the instructions on how to do so.
It's kind of a red flag, you know?
If they're that controlling after one date, what would they be like once things get more serious?
"This is the part of the crime documentary where the steely narrator intones something very ominous, and we cut to commercial," wrote another.
Some who didn't know what read receipts were got a lesson in what to watch out for.
"Once again ok with my decision to stop dating and become a cat lady," wrote one person.
He called it his "weirdest post first date request," and it's hard to argue with that.
Would you turn on read receipts for someone after a first date?
