Emotions running high, poor choices being made, disappointment and excitement abound…

2. You don’t always score

3. But when you do it’s like:

4. You feel like there is always someone judging your actions

5. The pretty ones always get the most attention

6. Timing is EVERYTHING

7. There will always be the one (or ones) that got away

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Bronson Farr

We’ve all heard them before, and to be honest, they usually don’t work. Pick up lines are great for breaking the ice and making a couple of laughs, but if you’re trying to spit game with them, you might as well just pack up and go home. Here at CMB we found several funny pick up lines on the interwebs.

"You have something on your face."
*They go to rub it off
"Huh, I guess beautiful doesn't come off."#pickuplines

My First Dates: What I Think Will Happen vs. What Actually Happens

June 2, 2014/in Funny & Videos /by Guest Blogger

I’ve gone on plenty of first dates, and I generally go in with expectations. But even though I’ve had flops, I still enjoyed them. Sure, some of these “reality” points are exaggerated, but don’t let that stop you from having a good time, or at least obtain a story you can now retell to crack up your friends over lunch.

1) When You Decide on What to Wear

Expectation:

Reality:

2) When You Make Your Way to the Date

Expectation:

Reality:

3) When You Finally Meet Your Date in Person

Expectation from the photos:

Reality once you meet in person:

4) When You Start Talking To Each Other

Expectation:

Reality:

5) When You’re Going for a Kiss

Expectation:

Reality:

6) When You’re Wondering If You’ll Text After the Date

Expectation:

Reality: He/she never texts…

But, hey, at least I’m putting myself out there and meeting people. After all, you have to kiss a bunch of frogs before you kiss a prince, so at least I’m happy I’m gaining experience out there!

13 Game of Thrones Reactions to Online Dating

May 29, 2014/in Funny & Videos /by Guest Blogger

The following article is a guest post, courtesy of Travis Noddings

All is fair in love and war, but on HBO’s Game of Thrones both seem to end in a bloodbath. Luckily for Westeros, online dating is here to clean up some of the mess.
If you’ve ever wondered how your greatest role models—obviously warlords and the ‘Mother of Dragons’—would navigate the modern world of virtual matchmaking, then look no further.
When Daenerys gets tired of swiping left on every realm in Westeros, she and the other singles of the Seven Kingdoms know exactly where to look for a meaningful match—Coffee Meets Bagel.
This is a war for the Online (Dating) Throne!
1. Counting down to noon:

2. Matching with a great Bagel:

3. When a LIKED Bagel doesn’t turn into a match:

4. Missing the 24-hour window on a great Bagel:

5. Not having enough beans to unlock a missed Bagel:

6. But when you do:

7. When a Bagel hasn’t replied yet:

8. Accidentally coming on too strong:

9. Opening up to your Bagel:

10. When a Bagel keeps canceling on you:

11. Moving on to a new Bagel:

12. When your friends mock online dating:

13. Finally meeting the perfect Bagel:

(Hopefully this dating service will at least help cut down on the crazy amount of incest and terribly violent weddings surrounding the Iron Throne.)
Now get out there and find that special someone to share your kingdom with!

What’s harder: Getting a job or a getting a date?

April 28, 2014/in Funny & Videos /by CMB

There are times when the line between interviewing and dating can be extremely blurry, and when we say “there are times”, we mean all the time. Here are some major minor differences we noticed.
1. Why don’t we check in another time?

What it means: Why don’t we not check in at all.

2. So sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, I was super busy with work!

What it means: I’m not sorry, stop bothering me, yes I saw your emails, but I don’t really want to talk to you.

3. We’re in the process of interviewing others, but we’ll reach out to you.

What it means: We’re still keeping our options open to see what’s best for us, you’re not the first choice.

4. Weeks without a response even after following up.

What it means: We’re too busy not responding, hope you get the point.

5. Why are you interested in working with us?

What it means: Say something to impress us or make us feel special.

6. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

What it means: Do you have long term potential?

7. What made you decide to leave your previous job?

What it means: Don’t bring up stories about your previous job, tell us how we’re better.

8. What are your strengths and weaknesses?

What it means: What are your weaknesses?

9. We’re not hiring currently but we’ll keep your resume on file.

What it means: You’re our backup plan.

10. Thank you for your interest. In this instance, we’ve decided not to move forward with your application. We appreciate your interest and wish you success in your job search.

What it means: Thanks for trying, but we found someone.
