Is romance dead? Call me old-fashioned, but I feel the dating scene has changed a bit since my day. Roses and chocolates have been replaced by emoji-laden texts and Tinder swipes. But for those sentimentalists who say romance is still alive and well, let’s take a look at some headlines.<\/p>\n
From Texas, Brandon Vezmar recently sued his date for texting during a movie<\/a>. After Vezmar repeatedly complained about her phone usage, Crystal Cruz simply walked out of the movie and left him to finish Guardians of the Galaxy 2 by himself.\u00a0He sought damages to the tune of $17.31, the price of the movie ticket. Now, that may seem petty to you or me, but to Vezmar it was a “threat to civilized society” (seriously, his words<\/em>).<\/p>\n Next, we have a Tinder-nightmare-turned-lawsuit out of Canada. Emily Mackinnon allegedly broke a verbal contract<\/a> with her law student date when she decided call off a date because of the gentleman’s overwhelming stench. After being served with papers, Mackinnon\u2014<\/em>a TikTok influencer\u2014<\/em>took to social media to shred her reeking Romeo, only to be again served with a cease-and-desist notice. But don’t worry, it didn’t stop her from roasting her stinky suitor even further.<\/p>\n
