Avoiding trash

This game is based on the advice of dating coach Imani Yvonne. You can find her wisdom on twitter `(@imani_yvonne2)` or instagram (@actualblackmermaid) Your goal is to avoid a trash person in your life! Happy playing :) [[ You've met the `"one"` | Select the first date ]]

You are talking to a possible love interest. They ask if you want to go on a coffee date. How do you respond? [[ `Yes, I love coffee,` which cafe is your favorite? | On a coffee date ]] [[ `Actually,` I only do dinner dates | On a dinner date ]] [[ You ghost them without a second thought | Leave Them ]]

During the coffee date, the possible love of your life starts to spill their emotional guts on you. Do you.... [[ Listen to them and provide emotional support because you're a really nice person | no boundaries ]] [[ Kindly remind that you just met and `that's not` really appropriate | setting boundaries ]] [[ Tell them that you feel uncomfortable and need to leave | Leave Them ]]

You're at dinner with your possible twin flame and they make a negative comment about your body/appearance. Do you... [[Politely excuse yourself and then run away| Leave Them ]] [[Explain that the comment was inappropriate| setting boundaries ]] [[Agree but feel terrible about yourself|Succumb to Trash]]

Your possible love says that they find you to be very comforting and they can't wait to hang out with you again! They text you the next day inviting you to.... [[ Netflix and chill]]

Your possible soulmate looks at you and says, "thanks, I really appreciate you checking me on that" The date continues, and both of you enjoy each other's company. [[Continue|Rare Find]]

#leavethem Congratulations, you listened to Imani and you successfully avoided trash. <img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/n4WpP39mwWrmg/giphy.gif" width="500" height="300" alt="Beyonce ofc">

I'm so proud of you! You've managed to be with someone and they're not trash. Now this doesn't mean you'll live happily ever after or they won't ever be trash, but it's a start! <img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/26gsiCIKW7ANEmxKE/giphy.gif" width="500" height="300" alt="Oprah loves ya">

You feel a little hopeful, hey, a friend of yours seems to have a successful relationship and they started out only netflix and chilling. But after the third Netflix and chill date do you.... [[ Leave Them ]] [[Tell them that you want more than Netflix and Chill | setting boundaries ]] [[ Stick around and hope they get the message and pick passive agressive fights with them|Succumb to Trash]]

Spoiler! People don't change (just because you want them to), and especially if you didn't make your boundaries clear (and act accordingly). Looks like you should read Imani's blog more carefully! <img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/3s4v1LawbMoTWGqFpN/giphy.gif" width="500" height="300" alt="Two foxes">
