I Swiped Right On My Friend's Date App Profile

Anonymous Smug Fox #523 · General

So last week, my friend Alex and I were having a drink at the bar when she starts complaining about being single again. She’s been on this dating app for months now and hasn't had any luck. While we're there chatting, she shows me her profile photo, a picture of her hiking with a beautiful sunset behind her, and asks if it's good enough to catch someone's eye. I tell her it's perfect but secretly think the lighting is awful because it’s all washed out. So what do you think Alex would say if she knew that after she left, I swiped right on her profile? I mean, she doesn’t see me as a potential date material, but just in case someone asked for my number, I figured why not give them both of ours? And hey, now when we catch up next week and she's still single, at least I can tell her that I’m the one who sent her a message, even though it wasn’t me. Plus, if I didn't know better, I’d think Alex was trying to sabotage my love life by asking for advice on dating app profiles while I'm drowning in a pint of beer and salty snacks! Oh well, here's hoping she doesn’t find out.
