I later found out that he infiltrated his way into OKCupid dates with at least two other people I sort of know, including one of my co-workers. I was lured on a date thinking I’d met a normal finance guy, only to realise he was a champion dweeb in hedge funder’s clothing. This is what happens, I thought, when you lie in your online profile. Here was a guy who had dedicated a good chunk of his life to mastering Magic, on a date with a girl who can barely play Solitaire. Eventually I even felt a little bit bad that I didn’t know shit about the game. Who did he hang out with? “I’ve met all my best friends through Magic.” Strike three. How often? “I’m preparing for a tournament this weekend.” Strike two. This guy is funny! But the earnest look on his face told me he wasn’t kidding.Īt dinner I got straight down to it. And then he casually mentioned that he played Magic: The Gathering when he was younger. We started talking about normal stuff - family, work, college.
#Solitaire plus magic the gathering skin
He was thin and tall, dressed in a hedge fund uniform with pale skin and pierced ears.
Then dinner was ready, and I signed off without remembering to do the same.
“Dem gurl u so foine, iwud lik veru much for me nd u to be marry n procreate.” Or “your legs do look strong.” So when I saw an IM from a guy saying, “You should go out with me :)” I was relieved. Every time I signed on, I was hit by a barrage of creepy messages. It was like the online equivalent to hanging out alone in a dark, date-rapey bar. Two weeks into my online dating experiment, OKCupid had broken me down.
