Dating Profile Fix: My Boyfriend In Bed With My Best Friend
On the topic of Things You Shouldn’t Mention In Your Profile, here’s a girl who tells the tale of why she’s single.
Welcome to the Daily Fix, where we take snippets from real dating profiles and changes the names to protect the not-so-innocent.
Today’s subject is a 20-something woman we’ll call Anna.
Before:
Now I guess a question will come to your mind (Why is she Single?) isn’t it…ok ok, I used to have a boyfriend but I broke up with him, I caught him in bed with my best friend, you know how that is, it’s a SHOCK, lol…so this led me to break up with him, was I right by that decision???
What This Says:
Not only is she disclosing that her boyfriend’s cheating past, she’s asking for validation on her decision to dump him? Wow, just wow.
The Fix:
This falls under things you shouldn’t mention in your dating profile (or even on a first date). Anna should focus on what makes her wonderful and unique and if people ask about why she’s single, she can say “I just haven’t found the right guy yet.“ Only when a relationship gets to a more stable point should she start sharing stories like this one.
