Day 3 on Hinge

I have taken over Jordyn's Hinge profile.

We, as a Mean-Girl-Idiot-Ocracy, decided the best way to conquer the New York dating scene would be together. There are more single men in this city than the entire Midwest combined. Jordyn does the swiping, and I do the messaging. (Self-proclaimed Chief of Correspondence) (for a Hinge profile that isn't mine).

As COC of Hinge, I need these dates to be tolerable, but not fabulous. I want good stories. Good stories come from bad dates. That's why, when I am messaging these guys, I think to myself, "what's the catch?" If the catch is, he, say, lives at home. We have a winner.

I'm hoping to secure this guy below for next Thursday. He won't stop talking about Worlde. Seriously he only talks about Wordle. Jordyn doesn't play, but I have been telling him I (she) started playing because of him (cute, right). When he brings that up on the date, it will blow up in everyone's face. (He might be
