Q: “I just told my first internet date that I ‘m a virgin, but I was lying. What should I do? ‘

A: You can leave your internet date at any time. -
Q: “I didn ‘t like my internet date so I just left. They later messaged me and said “Are you ok? Where did you go? ‘ Can you ban them from the dating app? ‘

Q: “Oh, You didn ‘t say that so I just walked out. ‘
A: Jesus Christ. -
