Story Time - Week of March 27, 2017

Long time lurker, first time poster but here it goes... (sorry for wall of text)

Usually the only experiences I've on tinder are the usual disappointing coffee date. So last week, me and my friend decided to change that and we made a tinder social group. We actually got quite a few matches over a couple days. We learned early on that the social aspect still does not counteract the ghosting, but a couple of groups were responding so we didn't care. One was two girls from ASU in town for spring break who were leaving tomorrow morning. They kept sending flirtatious and forward messages so we decided 'fuck it, why not'. They were an hour away and it was a Tuesday night, but at that point our curiosities had gotten the better of us so we drove off to meet them. I kid you not, we get to the most sketchy motel I have ever seen. I quickly pulled up reviews of the place as we waited in the parking lot and they all just confirmed my worst fears, that this was not a place you wanted to be in. We texted them to prove to us that they are real and they suggested facetiming. This worked fine for us and everything seemed legit so we got out of the car and waited for them to come down to the parking lot to get us. They came out and both groups at this point are very paranoid of the other but we all are comfortable enough to go to their room. Once there, my friend decides it’s a good time to show them what he brought, which most of I had no idea about. Weed, a thing of Fireball, some pills, a knife (which he claimed was for protection) and the ice cream they wanted. They start taking hits of the weed and talking, all the while snapchatting to their stories. Gems such as ‘OMG look what these random tinder guys brought us!’ and ‘We’re gonna die!’ as they smiled in joy as all their friends proceeded to text/call them to see if they were ok. One girl was covered in tats and kept going on how her family was livid at her for ditching school to be here (turns out their spring break was a week earlier) and the other was bigger than her pictures led us to imagine and was insanely stoned. Soon after the phone rings and its management saying they have had yet another noise complaint and if they get one more they will be forced to call the police. My friend then suggests we go hiking back where we are from and that they can take their stuff and we’ll just drive them to the airport anyways since their flight is so early. So as I’m the only sober one I drive us down there. Nothing really happens at the hike and its dark and steep so my friend suggests we go to the state park by us. We get there and it midnight and the gates are down, he tries to move it and the alarm immediately goes off so we park nearby and hang out by the creek. We were both super paranoid and trying to be quiet but the girls were having none of it. One had her flashlight out so she could take 10 pictures of the creek for her story and the other was just loud. The one snapping even added ‘OMG we just broke into a state park’ to her story… After a fair amount of time we realize no one is going to come and its 1am and they have to be at the airport at 3:30am so I’m thinking we can just end this nightmare and drop them off already when my friend has another ingenious idea about another park, but this one much closer to the airport. So off we go, my friend and the bigger one start making out in the back and after a very long drive we finally get there. It’s soon very apparent that they have drank the entire thing of Fireball and are very drunk. They decide to skinny dip and I’m left confused and shaking my head while I talk to the one in tats. Thankfully they come back shortly after and as it’s almost 2am I’m thinking this is almost over when the bigger one starts complaining that she’s bored and she wants to do something else. My friend then gives me directions to another park that’s the same distance away from the airport as this one and that’s when I decide to take charge. I drive us to some abounded lot 10 minutes away from the airport claiming it’s the park and they are both too drunk to notice and the same one just keeps complaining that this is the worst park they have ever seen. The girl continues to complain that she wants to do stuff even though we’ve explained everything is closed as its 2:30am on a Wednesday. Finally after 15 mins in the lot we all decide to drop them off at the airport a bit early. We get there at 3 and they proceed to thank us and say we should do it again. Yeah….. nah. The night finally ends around 4am, where my friend takes a half hour shower to try to wash the shame and regret off.

TLDR don't do tinder social
