I had a match who said he was a master of DIY projects. He sent me pictures of his 'handmade' bookshelf which looked like it was about to collapse any second. He was so proud of it though, and that made it really funny.
A girl on OkCupid told me that she thought she could speak French fluently because she took a few classes in high school. When she tried to order food in a French restaurant during a date, she ended up just making a bunch of gibberish that even the waiter couldn't understand. It was quite the comical situation as she was so confident at first.
A memorable OkCupid story for me was when I found someone who was also into volunteer work. We shared our experiences and the causes we were passionate about. We ended up volunteering together at a local animal shelter. We not only got closer as we took care of the animals but also made a positive impact in the community. It was a wonderful journey that started on OkCupid.
One memorable OkCupid first date was when we went to a concert. The music was amazing, and we were singing along and having a great time. It was a really energetic and fun experience.
A friend of mine matched with someone who said they were training their pet goldfish to do tricks. They even sent videos of the fish following a little stick around in the tank. It was so comical.
Well, once I matched with a guy who said his hobby was collecting rubber ducks. He had over a hundred different ones! And he sent me pictures of his collection during our chat. It was so unexpected and hilarious.
A common one is catfishing. People use fake pictures and identities. You think you're talking to someone really attractive and interesting, but when you meet, it's a completely different person. It's really disappointing.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.
One memorable experience could be a cultural exchange. For example, a Western man on OkCupid might date a Chinese woman who introduced him to traditional Chinese festivals like the Mid - Autumn Festival. They would share mooncakes and she'd explain the significance of family reunion during this time. It was a unique way to bond over different cultures.
