The Internet Is *Freaking Out* Over This Couple's Cringeworthy Date
I'm sure you can agree with me that dating is *not* easy. And in this week's Time Out New York's "Meet The Undateables: Alyssa And Billy," their date personifies why dating is so challenging, to say the least, and how two people may be on very opposite pages. ICYMI, each week, the Time Out New York column takes two New Yorkers who swear they're undateable and pairs them up. Then, they get a recap of the date, both the good and the bad.
In this week's date, Alyssa said "she’s picky and has trouble finding someone with a good sense of humor," reported Time Out New York. As for her date, Billy, "he has a busy schedule, and it takes more than just a beautiful woman to turn his head."
OK, so they both sound normal, right?! But then let's get into the blind date. Chances are, you and I have been there, too. And you may think your date went well — at least, well enough — and the other person had a totally different opinion.
The Date
"I didn't want to be that girl who's late, and I was trying really hard, but I was about three minutes late," Alyssa told Time Out New York. "He stood up, and we hugged. He was really nice and charming." But, what was Billy's POV? "She was about five minutes late, which annoyed the shit out of me," he told Time Out New York. "As soon as she walked into the room, I knew she wasn't the girl for me. She didn't have the goods." (Bustle reached out to Billy and will update the article once we hear back.)
Oh. WOWWW. Not being on the same page is one thing, but there ~are~ nicer ways of saying things, right?! You'd better read the rest for yourself, and see why people on Twitter are freaking out, and understandably so.

If nothing else, this reminds everyone that it's ~tough~ out there in the dating world. Though this almost makes me never want to date again, I know for every "Billy" out there, there are non-Billy people, too, so everyone needs to remember that!
