I have a story. During the past year, I used Bumble for a total of one year. In 2021, I gave online dating a try for the first time, and I have been matched with some fascinating people. During the past year, I couldn't find a relationship there until February of this year. The whole thing began two weeks ago, in the first week of February. It all started with a swipe. I swiped right back at him after he swiped right back at me. It was an instant match. He looked like an attractive guy, tall and handsome, and he seemed to be very sweet. So some people are not aware that the girl has to make the first move on Bumble. So, I sent a hello to him, and he messaged me back a few minutes later. There was no problem with our conversation; we talked about everything from how the weekend went to work, where I am located, and my background. Let me put it out there now, both of us are from the same culture. I am surprised that I got matched with someone from my background out of the thousands of people that used Bumble. It did not matter whether the person was Eritrean or not, but I was still genuinely happy to match with someone from that country. So far, it looks like it's headed in the right direction, so there's nothing else to report. We spent a lot of time talking during that week, although we did not live that far away from each other. Afterwards, he asked me out on a date for Thursday, Feb 3, 2022, as our first date. My emotions were so high that I thought we had connected, and I was happy. As part of our first date, he picked me up, drove me to Tim Horton's, got me a hot chocolate, took me to his condo and gave me a tour of his place. I always liked watching Buffy the vampire slayer, so when he gave me some wine and put on the show, I was blown away. Is this too good to be true? I always liked watching Buffy the vampire slayer. I was so glad that we had something in common. In the evening, after watching an episode of Buffy, we went to get something to eat, and we talked about our second date, which we had been planning to have last Saturday, but it did not happen. Now you might be wondering why it didn't happen. I want to take a moment to finish talking about our first date. After we did all of that, he kissed me and then dropped me off at my house. Afterwards, I was so happy; everything turned out smoothly. He was the first to message me after the date. It sounds like everything worked out well. I'm afraid that was not the case. We spoke on Friday, too; he texted me saying some freaky things. There was a point where I didn't feel comfortable with it, so I responded with lol, and then I went and asked if he was serious about me. Then things went downhill; he didn't message me back on Friday, and then on Saturday morning, which was our second date, I said good morning, and he didn't respond to that either. It is then that I begin to wonder, what is wrong with him? He is ghosting me; why is that? A few days pass, and I don't hear from him anymore. Communication is vital, and I had no issues telling him about this particular person. This guy was a player, and he broke my heart. After hearing what the other guy did, he said he would not do the same thing. Despite this, a few days pass without him texting me, and he ignores my messages. The same thing that he said he wasn't going to do is what he is doing now. Four days have passed without any word between us, and we have yet to speak. Today, February 7, I decided to unmatch him on Bumble. He should understand how he made me feel, so I will not cry over this in the future, even if I did cry yesterday, but I am allowing myself to move on with my life now. I learned my lesson!

My Story On Mean Girls
So this is my story on “ Mean Girls” so what is a mean girl? many of you may have seen the movie “ Mean Girls” with Lindsey lohan and Rachel Mcadams. The movie was basically showing how cruel high school girls can be, but in reality there much worse. My experience in high school was pretty much a rollercoaster when it came to friends. I have been in the wrong crowd before. I had friends that weren't my true friends. For example being, in grade 9 I met this girl, I won't be saying names, so I will use letters. So I met A in high school. She was this girl who was sweet at first but she changed quickly from being my friend. She literally talked a lot of shit behind my back. We used to hang out at her house, and after that time, she switched up which wasn't cool at all. Things changed dramatically, we stopped being friends. She just wasn't someone I should hang with. Next up, B was in my math class and we shared the same birthday. I thought she was cool at first but she changed quickly, she actually turned into my archnemesis. We got into fights, not physical, but verbal fights. She would call me names, and I would do the same too. I wasn't the mean girl in this situation, she was. I thought she was my friend, but clearly not. Her true colours showed. I hated that we shared the same birthday. I literally have a whole list of mean girls from my high school. Next on the list, was C, so C was very cool at first, but you guessed it. She did some mean things. If I could remember, she would talk crap behind my back but when she was hanging with me she would pretend to be my friend. I even got into a physical fight with her, something in her snapped and she pushed me and then I pushed her back into a wall. Both of us got sent to the principal's office, and we got detention. I hated detention, what is the point of that? Anyways, we stopped being friends for a long time, even till now were not friends, like it's been years since I spoke to her. The next one would be the three mean girls, the true mean girls of my life. There were these three girls in my high school, who go by the name of S, K, S let me tell you guys, they were really nice at first but, their true colours were revealed, while walking in the hallway they would yell at me saying rude nasty words. I would yell back, and we would get into fights, verbal fights. It was just really bad. When I finished high school, I was glad I didn't have to see their faces again. Now, let me be honest, it is 2022 and you guys are probably wondering if I talk to these people. well to answer that question, nope with C, I'll say we follow each other on Instagram and Facebook, and she checks my stories from time to time. I will say this, I remember reaching out to her last year 2021 but, she didn't respond back. Like, we're both adults now, she should have sent me back a message, but whatever, it is what it is. When it comes to A, we follow each other on Instagram and she also checks my stories, but we don't talk to each other. As for those three girls, S, K and S I haven't seen or heard from them in so many years, we don't follow each other on Facebook or Instagram. I don't need that kind of negative energy in my life. So will just leave it at that. My only advice to you guys if you are dealing with a mean girl is to be yourself, never change for anyone and don't react to the meanies. Mean girls feed on reaction. Don't be a bully, but be kind, stay strong, and separate yourself to calm down. Try thinking they're invisible, that one always works :) so that's my story of mean girls. Thank you for reading this far. If you guys want to share your experiences on mean girls, comment below :)

Gils and Fur
Mermaids and werewolves. What do these two things have in common? Nothing much, really. They’re both popular in fantasy genre. Though werewolves have been more heavily featured in horror movies. Thanks to the various stories that have featured them killing and eating human beings. Our innate fear of what we do not understand.

OMG, sounds like my story. I dear say, yours does have a ring of hope to it. The girl I'm matched with, well, the jury is still out, but the verdict doesn't look too promising. My relationship with this person is shrouded in mysteries, and she keeps changing her stories. Oh, well, so much for the dating life, right? (Oh, by the way, the day you dropped that guy, February 7th, just happens to be my birthday. Haha. Go figure!) Hope you have better luck with dates in the future.
