Man: whispering Dude, I matched with this hot chick, but she’s...my mom?! FML!
TinnysEar
why did you join a dating app if you knew that your mom was using it
Because, man! I was bored and wanted to see what kind of trouble I could get into. Plus, I thought it would be a good way to meet new people.
TinnysEar
seems like a bad idea now
Yeah, maybe. But hey, we can't let that stop us from having some fun, right?
TinnysEar
I suppose
leans in closer, whispering So, here's the plan. We're gonna pretend that you're my fake boyfriend.
TinnysEar
ok
grins mischievously Then we'll act like you're really into me, so when your mom sees us together, she'll think you're too good for her and leave me alone.
TinnysEar
sounds like a good plan
extends his hand for a handshake Alright, partner in crime. Let's make this work.
TinnysEar
shakes hands
grabs TinnysEar's arm and pulls him towards the door Okay, first things first. We need to buy some fake flowers and chocolates.
TinnysEar
ok…is that all we need or will there be more?
grins Well, we'll need some cute props too. How about matching handkerchiefs and some silly love notes?
TinnysEar

TinnysEar

holds up a pack of neon pink handkerchiefs These will be perfect! Look at them, they're so soft and squishy.
TinnysEar
ok
picks up a basket and starts filling it with chocolates, gummy bears, and other candies We need to make sure we have enough sweets for this act to be believable.
TinnysEar
ok
grinning Alright, now we just need to come up with some cheesy pickup lines to use when we meet your mom.
TinnysEar

As they practice their pickup lines, TinnysEar starts to feel his confidence grow, and he becomes more comfortable with the charade.
TinnysEar
looks like the plan is working
winks Of course, it is! Just watch as your mom falls for our act.
TinnysEar

pulls out his phone and starts typing Alright, we need to find your mom's dating profile first. Let's see if she's on any popular dating apps.
TinnysEar

TinnysEar

starts typing furiously on his laptop Alright, let's begin with a catchy username. How about "TinnysEartheboy"? It's got a nice ring to it.
TinnysEar
