“Oh, he’s cute!” said Shauna, leaning over her friends phone.

“Nah, not my type.” Ruby swiped left. “Josh, 24. Stand up comedian, dog lover, enjoys walks in the park, musical theater, playing board games, and-“

“He sounds perfect!” interrupted Shauna.

“Being misogynistic.” finished Ruby, disappointed but she had come to expect this behavior from men on Flinder.

Shauna laughed. “Who the fuck puts that in their dating profile?”

“Josh, apparently.” Ruby swiped left. A picture of catfish showed up. The description only read “This is a catfish.”

“That must be a joke, right?” asked Shauna.

“Aw, a funny guy! I bet he’s nice,” she raised her finger and swiped right.

“You swiped right on him?! You know nothing about him, and for all you know this is a catfish account!” Shauna protested.

Ruby blushed, “W-well, I like funny guys,” she said.

“Josh was a stand up comedian!”

“He was a self described misogynist!”

“Fair. But this account is a joke.”

“Whatever.” To Ruby’s pleasure, Brian the Catfish swiped right on her too!

-I see why are are named Ruby,

cause you are a gem!

-Haha, you should be a comedian.

They hit it off incredibly well, and planned a date for next Tuesday. Ruby arrived at Annie’s Diner, and sat down, seeing her date across from her.

She looked into the eyes… of a literal catfish.
