A woman faked her death to get out of a bad date. Logical.

Picture the worst date you’ve ever been on.

When the opportunity for date number two came around, what did you do? Did you politely decline? Or did you do what 29-year-old British woman Anna Gray did, and simply fake your death?

You didn’t? That was probably the sensible choice, clever you.

Gray was faced with this dilemma after a man known only as “Bad Date” asked her out on a second date – presumably their first date included extreme racism and some form of faeces because she REALLY didn’t want to give him a second go. Pushing all sense of human decency out of her mind, she knew just what to do.

What a truly awful Tinder date looks like, in Tweets.

She got her “sister” to send a text message to Bad Date, explaining that she was very ill and in the hospital.

Bad Date wanted to make sure his potential bride-to-be was OK.

Then shit escalated quickly.

Wow.

Unless there was only one hospital in Gray’s tiny and remote community that is Britain, it’s unlikely that Bad Date located the right one.

Still, good on Gray for standing up for herself (and women everywhere) by explaining that she has the right to decline unwanted advances from men.

Wait… never mind.

Oh c'mon. Every woman doesn't have to be every woman all the time. So, she told a guy she was dead to get out of dating him... Not the most logical move, granted, since she could be easily found out, being alive and all. But most of us (including a lot of men) have told lies to get out of a date (she did this a while ago, too. And is now happily engaged to Good Date) - this is just something weird and pretty funny as a story. You don't have to have rage at everything. This is not a big deal.

Agreed, she could have done ten zillion different things. As said, wasn't the most logical move. Just don't think this chick needed a bunch of rage against her because she didn't act for 'women everywhere.' We've all done and said stupid things when going through the dating turnstile. I'll guarantee no one has ever sat back and gone, 'hmmm I'll think about what this does for feminism everywhere before I cancel this date.' Don't feel this is a big deal and worthy of such ridiculous judgement.

Hmm, innovative! I wonder how well it would work if you did this whilst actually on a bad date!

haha I suppose that's one simple way to discover if they're a necrophiliac. Dating can be a real minefield these days.
