he invited me over to watch a movie but didn’t mention he had a severe bed bug infestation and got mad at me when i brought it up https://twitter.com/NateIsBack2/status/1381610076054679552

i wish i could find the thread i made when i originally went on that date bc it started off bad and just went from worse to worser as the day went on

basically- i matched with a friend of a friend on twitter & after a week of talking/facetiming he invited me over for a movie marathon. he told me his house had “problems” but didn’t go into detail about what they were

he called me day of (note: before this we strictly texted or facetimed) to tell me he was running late & asked to meet up later- this was no problem bc i’m habitually late/was running late anyway

fast forward to me arriving: my lyft driver didn’t wanna let me out of the car bc the house look abandoned. she made me call him so she could put eyes on him & make sure i wasn’t being set up

he came outside looking disheveled, he was a lil musty, & his breath stunk but my edible was kicking in & i had just paid $20 to get there so i said fuck it

the inside of his house smelled... tart.. i remember thinking “rodents must live here” & he had the nerve to say “i didn’t clean but i’m sure my mom wouldn’t be too embarrassed to see this” L M A O

he didn’t have a tv which was mildly annoying but i brought my laptop bc i torrented the movies so we just watched them from that. early into the date, i noticed a bed bug crawl across my keyboard but i had never seen 1 before so i thought it was just an oddly shaped roach

i didn’t think anything of it bc i was in the west end & slick everybody has roaches in atlanta

he tried to put his arm around me/kiss me during the movie but he smelled so bad i just kinda locked up (i shoulda left but i drank a big cup off dumb bitch juice that morning lol)

fast forward the movie ends and i get up to use the bathroom and that’s when i see them. it was bed bugs EVERYWHERE- all over the floor, crawling up the walls, coming out of the sink, crawling around the toothbrushes

so i called his name and told him there were bugs in the bathroom and he started brushing them back down the sink with his bare hands talmbout “i told you the house had problems”

by now i’m at my limit- i pack my laptop up and i’m thinking i need to leave NOW so i suggest we get food. we ended up at cook out & he was tryna keep the vibe chill but i was grossed out so i tell him i wanna go home. he offers to walk me to the nearest train but i refused

i get all the way home & realize i can’t find my key, not surprising bc i left in a hurry. i called the # he called me from earlier & his roommate answers & tells me he’s not home yet

i was annoyed bc why is his roommate answering his phone but whatever.. i waited like an hr & his roommate answered again. ole dude was still not home. i prolly called 3-4 more times &
eventually the phone just started going straight to voicemail

he ft’d me back a couple hrs later & informed me he called me from his roommate’s phone earlier & that he didn’t actually have a phone # which was why we had only ft’d & texted

he looked for my keys under/around the couch we were on and all i could think about was him getting roaches all in his beard he didn’t find my keys but he found my lipstick.. i told him to keep it (it was tainted)

the next day i looked up the “weird roaches” and realized they were BED BUGS!! i went off on him and he called me uppity and judgemental for almost getting BED BUGS

i found my keys- turns out i left them in the lyft i took over there so i blocked his goofy ass as soon as my keys were back in my hands

he also told me after the fact that he was late/his breath was musty bc the bar was doing endless mimosas and he drank til he threw up
