WATCH: Carol Ofori shares her top three dating tips!
The dating world is hard, especially when there is no way to pick out the weirdos...
We all know that dating can be a menace. Finding the one is so difficult in a world filled with good and bad fish. We're not being cynical, it's just difficult to put yourself out there, especially when each experience is different.
It can be even more torturous when you put yourself out there and then get let down. Let's be honest, it hurts, it's risky, and there isn't a handbook that covers the do's and don'ts for every situation. So sometimes, you have to just wing it.
One of the good things about social media is that it has allowed more people to connect when it comes to their varied experiences, especially when it comes to finding love. This story allowed people to share their dating fail stories.
After waiting for half an hour at the restaurant for her date to arrive, she realised that she may have been stood up. Then she received a call, what happens thereafter is kind of weird...

It didn't end there, her date kept sending her voicemails and he even threatened legal action with regards to her sharing his voicemail messages on TikTok. The voicemails get more and more descriptive and there are some where he raises his voice...
Eek, awkward much?!

The videos go on and on and she now has a series of twelve episodes. We won't bore you with all of them, but basically it was a never-ending cycle of a date that went terribly wrong and then got worse as time passed.
On that note, we thought what better way to end this off on a positive note than to ask Carol Ofori to share her top three tips when it comes to your first date.
1. Dress comfortably
2. Eat something delicious that's not messy (obviously first impressions last but don't be shy to show off who you are)
3. Have a glass of wine to take the edge off.
That saying about there are many fish in the sea, it may sound mediocre and lame, but the truth is you have to go through some frogs before finding your prince or princess. Happy dating!
