Backpage Anyone? - Date Fails | Storytime, Dating Humor, and Life Reflections

From navigating online dating to considering "alternative" options when things get desperate, this is a wild ride of deep thought, comedy, and raw honesty. If you've ever dealt with dry spells, dating fails, or just weird online encounters, you’ll definitely relate.
