It's a common saying that dating is not for everyone, and one man has found himself on the receiving end of this harsh reality.
He recounts his recent experience with Hilda, a woman he met on Instagram, where they had been chatting for a while before deciding to meet up in person.
Despite his initial reservations about inviting her to his place, they decided on a lunch date in town, which he thought would be a good way to get to know her better.
As they spent the afternoon together, he was impressed by her range of knowledge, including her understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on airlines.
However, things took a turn for the worse when he tried to pay for their shopping using mobile money, but the transaction failed multiple times.
With the cashier growing increasingly impatient, they were eventually ordered to return the items, leaving him feeling embarrassed and Hilda declaring that she had just experienced her worst date.
For now, he's still single, sad, and searching for answers as to why fate seems to be frowning upon his dating life.
