Coffee Meets Bagel - My Therapist Said

Don't ask me why but I opened the dating apps again! Ok, I should clarify. I opened ONE dating app again and it's Coffee Meets Bagel. I did this around Valentine's Day just out of curiosity to see who was on the apps and now I've been swiping and seeing what happens because there were a ton of matches and possibilities. I know there were a ton of people online because of Valentine's Day and I guess everyone was so worried about being single or alone but not me! I was just curious since I got an email saying they usually saw a big spike around that time and thought why not? So I matched with a guy who we will call Bailey and it didn't really go well from there. 

Coffee Meets Bagel - Kinks and Cuddles

It's been a while since I swiped along Coffee Meets Bagel but when I did finally decide to open up the app I was a bit surprised by what I found. I'm use to some pretty tame profiles, especially because you don't get endless swiping. You only get a few profiles to look at every 24 hours. When I came cross Mitch though I was quite surprised by his selection for his photo. First impressions matter, but now I just want to scrub my eyes and my brain. Let me show you what I'm talking about, but you've been warned.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Lost Jesus

You know how some people just don't seem to be on the right kind of dating app? I mean, some people aren't looking for something long term or serious and yet they're on an app that is all about that. Or vice versa if you will. I feel like they're just wasting people's time by being on the app that isn't going to cater to what they're after. There's literally a dating app all about dating farmers so surely there are plenty more for each of those specifics that people are looking into. Today's guy probably should just try Christian Mingle but let's get into it.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Emotional Baggage

Well today we have a profile that clearly serves to confuse me. Maybe some of you will understand it but I just don't get it. Do guys just think their ab pictures will overshadow everything else that is listed in their profile? If that was the case why do they even bother writing in anything to fill out their profile? Or maybe they're just testing the potential matches to see what will and won't get them attention. Anyway, let's get to the profile.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Escalator Fears

I can't tell you why but I've been swiping on Coffee Meets Bagel the most lately. It's probably because a lot more people put in their profile whether or not they're vaccinated and that's a bit more important to me as of late. Covid is getting a bit insane and I haven't had it yet (knock on wood) so I plan to still not get it if I can avoid that. Either way today I came across a profile that just... made me pause because I'm not sure if the guy is kidding or being completely serious.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Bitmoji Pic

I would apologize for the delay in a new post but this terrible thing called life happened. No regrets though because even I deserve some down time and no expectations every once in a while. Today I have yet another profile for you and I honestly thought we were past the point of dealing with weird photos. Maybe weird isn't the right word, considering we've all seen plenty of them together. But today's guy, just doesn't get it? I don't know how else to describe it so let's get to the fun part.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Hieroglyphics

I've found myself swiping a bit more as of late and I'm not entirely sure if it's just out of boredom or curiosity. Nevada has opened up recently so more people are traveling, going out, and just doing things in general. Now I can't say whether or not that's a good thing due to Covid cases in the state going up but I can't force people to get vaccinated or wear a mask so there's nothing I can do. I've done my part and gotten vaccinated and I wear a mask in public but such is life. Either way while swiping I came across this profile and I really just gave me some questions to ponder and I figured you all would enjoy it as well!

Coffee Meets Bagel - Terrified of Puking

Guess who is swiping on Coffee Meets Bagel again? It's me! Why? Well I figure I might as well be swiping on one of the dating apps that I can see some people who have liked me first instead of wasting all my time swiping on guys who are far shorter than me. Sorry to all the guys who are 5'2" and 5'3" but you're wasting both of our time and I don't appreciate it. I came across a profile that I thought would give you all a laugh as it did me, so let's get to it.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Can I Have Sex?

I have been texting and Facetiming a guy for a little while now but it seems our work schedules don't want us to get together face to face. Such is life at the moment but anyway I thought I'd share a conversation with you that truly just made me face palm. 🤦‍♀️ It seems that there are still plenty of guys who don't know what sort of first message to send but thankfully the response makes it well worth it! 

Coffee Meets Bagel - Cold Hard Cash

I don't know how many times I've said it on the blog but we all know how important the profile pictures that you upload on the dating apps are. First impressions really mean a lot, especially when people are just swiping through the profiles so you want to make sure your picture is of you and isn't something too bland or generic. I mean, you want to catch someone's attention but hopefully for the right reasons, you know? Anyway, today I came across a guy who seemed to be showing off as best he could but I'm not quite sure if he hit the mark.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Eat the Moon

I know we've seen the guy who claimed that COVID would disappear after the election which really makes one pause to scratch their head for a moment and wonder how much one has to do to really believe that sort of thing. The election is over and yet here we are, still in the middle of a pandemic. Now today while I was swiping I had yet another interesting sort of belief come up. Perhaps not as startling as the one who thought COVID would disappear but still a bit confusing and concerning. Or maybe it's just me. Either way, let's get to the profile.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Firefighter Hell

Happy New Year everyone! I don't exactly know how happy it is considering everything that's already happened so far within the first week but such is life. If only we could all skip the free trial of this year and just bypass it all. I suppose it's best to expect some sort of chaos at all times now since 2020 turned everything on it's head and there's no end in sight. Well, today I offer a profile that leaves me with some questions but I'm not quite sure if I want the answers! Let's get to it, shall we?

Coffee Meets Bagel - 2 Inch Pipe

I'm not exactly swiping on the apps because it's the holidays. Plenty of people are traveling so I'm not going to bother wasting my time on someone who I'll likely never meet or even see even after a FaceTime date. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday season in general but it seems so fake and weird during everything that's happening. Anyway, I do have a profile from someone who liked me on an app! Surprising, but not so much considering of course the guy is shorter than me. Anyway, today I have an interesting profile to share with you so let's get to it!

Coffee Meets Bagel - Card Show

We all know that the pictures someone posts on their dating app profile can make or break them considering it is the basis for whether or not someone swipes left or right. Today we have a guy who put up a picture that confuses me just a bit. I mean, it's not a fishing picture, hunting picture, or even a group photo. So I'm not entirely sure what he may be no so secretly trying to tell me. Hopefully the internet can help explain what it means to me.

Coffee Meets Bagel - No One Else

Dating during COVID19 is certainly a pain to say the least, but at the same time I can't truly complain. Knowing whether or not someone believes in COVID19 or even wears a mask makes it easier to not waste my time talking to a guy. That's just how it is. So, when Rick showed up for me being tall, cute, and with outdoorsy adventure pictures I was certainly intrigued. Then we started messaging and I discovered that he was a firm believer that NO ONE ELSE was going to do for me what he was. 

Coffee Meets Bagel - Hike Date

Johnny and I had a great time video chatting. He mentioned wanting to meet up and go on a hike so I agreed. I decided to let him pick the hike, since he claimed to have experience with rock climbing and things of that nature. I mean, the last time I picked a hike the guy practically suffered the entire time because he had claimed to be more experienced than he actually was. It wasn't even that hard of a hike but you know, some guys like to build themselves up to be bigger than they are. So let's get to it!

Coffee Meets Bagel - First Video Chat

As those of you who follow me on Twitter know I matched with someone on Coffee Meets Bagel, which is surprising to me as well because I had just been lamenting about how I was ready to give up on the dating apps for the time being. Either way I matched with a guy and he immediately started messaging me, which was surprising. As you're well aware most guys struggle to hold any sort of conversation that is decent. I suppose I should explain.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Extended

Well it's been a while since I've swiped on Coffee Meets Bagel but to be honest Bumble and Tinder are a little overwhelming right now in the sense that there are so many guys to swipe on but it just seem so redundant and nothing is happening. I figured I might as well try something else just to give myself a break, especially since Coffee Meets Bagel doesn't give me more than a handful of guys every 24 hours. Lately I've had quite a few matches and I've started a few of the conversations, since the app rewards you for messaging first and some of these guys apparently still don't know how to have a conversation. Today we have Zack, who seems to like things extended...

Coffee Meets Bagel - No Hike?

We all know there are those guys who can't hold a conversation, or perhaps just don't know how to say something that isn't weird or just rude. Today we have an example of the opposite! I mean, we had a fairly good conversation going in my opinion. Granted, the messages were a bit spaced out because I was busy dealing with work and life, but it was going. Anyway, let me show you what I'm talking about.

Coffee Meets Bagel - Deleted

We all are well aware of what ghosting is at this point on an app. They message and then disappear for no reason. It obviously gets old after a while but it does happen. I tend not to think about it that much, considering it's not worth my time or effort. If a guy decides not to message then in my mind it's just his loss. Anyway, today we have a profile that confused me a bit with the info the guy filled in on his bio. Let's get to it, shall we?
