"All Men Are Superficial" - Funny Short Story

A couple days ago, a girl was talking telling me that all men are superficial. "They're only looking for a pretty face!" She said. Trying to be funny, I replied, "That's not true. We also look at the body." She didn't laugh.

Haircut Gone Bad

I went in to get a haircut and the lady asked me some questions that I didn't understand, so I just said "Sure" (knowing it's a decent place). So she ended up giving me a facial mask for like an hour in a room with a bunch of old women. It was pretty awkward, but my face felt soft for the next few days, which is a good thing (I think???)

Awkward Dating Site Moment - Short Story

A few nights ago at about midnight, a girl that I've recently been talking to called me out of the blue. I was with a friend at the time and decided not to answer. The next day I texted her to catch up, and she abruptly asked me if I was still dating "that girl from Wisconsin". At this point I was beginning to think she was crazy because I couldn't for the life of me remember dating someone from Wisconsin (not that that's a bad thing). So after much confusion I decided to tell her my name. Needless to say she had me confused with somebody else, and we both got a good laugh out of the situation.

Have you ever gotten dates confused?
