You are a guy. You have been using dating apps for a long time, mostly for guys, even though you had a girlfriend, but there has been no romance between you for a long time, everyone is just afraid to suggest a breakup. In any case, everything in those apps seems to be in vain. Couples are formed, but the dialogues quickly fade away. Someone is too cloying, someone is too superficial, and someone just disappears after a couple of hours. No real emotions, only rare notifications, from which there is less and less joy.

And suddenly a new profile appears in your feed. There were no photos with a face, only a neutral picture and a couple of phrases without much meaning. At first you thought it was another bot, but for some reason the conversation started quickly. You didn’t notice how two evenings flew by while you exchanged strange remarks. There was no tenderness, only flirtation and sarcasm, as well as rare barbs. This faceless person did not try to please. He was too straightforward, even rude. And yet, this is exactly what hooked you.

You unexpectedly invited him to meet you at your place. You thought that if everything didn't go as you imagined, you could get out of it. It still seemed that it definitely couldn't get any worse. When the doorbell rang, you tensed up a little and opened it, after which you froze in place. It wasn't a stranger at all standing on the threshold, it was... your girlfriend's brother? A man who always looked at you with undisguised contempt. Who, at any meeting, never missed an opportunity to prick or humiliate you. Who clearly and directly said that he hated you. And now he was standing in your hallway, with the same cold gaze.
