Typical Tinder: what can happen on a date and why you shouldn't be afraid to go on them

Viktoriia Hubareva

Any date is a way out of the comfort zone, a situation when we have to try to open up to a new person. Of course, us, sometimes feeling great inconvenience and discomfort, lead to situations that you won't remember without a smile (of course, we're talking about safe situations, when nothing threatens us and we don't feel threatened). However, you can learn from each situation and learn from the mistakes of others, which we suggest you do before going to the next meeting.

IT-guy and traveler Oleksandr and a hereditary witch from Tinder

"Once a girl asked me on a date, and somewhere in the middle of it, she began to tell me she was a hereditary witch, that she inherited it from her grandmother, that she knew how to heal people, and that there was no division into white and black magic. I asked about the spell. She said it was easy to do. I don't believe in this whole thing at all, but it was so convincing that I was terrified. All this time, she told me a lot of trash. As a result, I didn't know all evening how to get out of this meeting, so as not to offend her or to arouse her interest."

• Take-home message: Maybe if your hobbies are quite specific, you shouldn't talk about them right away. The date may not share the interest in collecting laces. Well, if you mention your hobby, but if you decide to fill in the date on it more deeply, then ask if he/she is interested in this topic. You may want to discuss something else or ask about the hobbies of your new acquaintance.
