Want to know "Why You're Likely to Marry Your Parent?" According to experts interviewed by CNN, we are inherently programmed to marry partners who remind us of our parents. Since you grow up familiar with a certain type of person (funny, outspoken, affectionate, offensive or even abusive) you then become attracted to similar versions in the dating pool because it feels comfy, whether you' like it or not. Some of these couplings yield fantastic results, while others lead to pure drama. If marrying someone like your mom or dad gives you the creeps, don't fret, there is hope. Simply go about your search consciously, don't jump in to marriage right away and get help if you have unhealed issues. As if dating wasn't hard enough.
You have to kiss a frog or fifteen before you get to your prince/ss. That part of the bargain you accept, but when the amphibian turns out to be a deviant of sorts, stiffs you with the bill or herpes...My Very Worst Date is a commiseration of the moments when the sweet possibilities of romance turn into a sour struggle to get the hell out of the situation. We strongly believe that airing our (and other peoples) courtship disasters provides comedy, comfort and cautionary tales to bear in mind the next time you say 'yes' to drinks with a mysterious stranger.
At this time we are only accepting submissions via email. Please send your Very Worst Date story to us at myveryworstdate@gmail.com. We ask that you keep your submission under 200 words. Please write us from an email address that you check regularly and be willing to be contacted in case we have follow up questions. Write your story as if you were telling your best girl or guy friend about the date. Voyeurism is totally incomplete without the details and we want readers to be able to visualize your story. If you were hooking up with a dude and realized he was wearing a thong, we want to know what color and brand it was. Get it?
We reserve the right to publish your story at our own discretion and we also reserve the right to use and modify submissions for clarity and grammar. When you email us your story you are granting My Very Worst Date the right to a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully sub-licensable, exclusive right to use, reproduce, modify, translate, adapt, publish, creative derivative works from, distribute, perform, display and delete such content in other works in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter developed. You represent and warrant that you have all of these rights to grant to us and that no other rights from any third party will be necessary. In other words, any copyrights belong to myveryworstdate.com and myveryworstdate.com alone.
That was a mouthful. By emailing us your story that means you agree to these terms. We will never share your email or publish your personal information. Stories will be completely anonymous so get it off your chest once and for all.
