It seemed as though the same, uninteresting 15 people would move past their thumbs as they scrolled through singles in the area. “There has to be an easier way to make people think that other people think I’m […]

Both excellent breath fresheners before a potential kiss… I felt slightly transplanted out of Sacramento. The restaurant looked like it belonged in Fisherman’s Wharf because there was lots of seafood and all the men had beards. But everyone else was dressed like Taylor Swift during her “Red” era.
