This Woman Was Offered Couples Therapy As First Date

There are plenty of fish in the sea, but being part of the dating pool is nothing short of a challenge. You have to go through online dating, wild first dates, saying your favorite color a billion times, the whole shebang. If you think that is exhausting, a user named @luna_leia_ on Twitter just took things to a whole new level. She spilled the beans on her recent date that’s the most offbeat and hilarious thing ever. Her Hinge date invited her to couples therapy for their first date.

What Is Hinge?

Hinge is a dating app that was designed to be deleted, emphasizing its mission to help users find meaningful and lasting relationships. It differentiates itself from other dating apps by focusing on providing prompts and questions to encourage users to showcase their personalities and interests. The idea is to facilitate more in-depth and thoughtful connections by allowing users to express themselves beyond just photos. Users can like and comment on specific prompts or photos, which can serve as conversation starters.

Hinge provides users with creative prompts to express their personalities. In one example, a user named Luna responded to the prompt “Together we could…” with a whimsical idea, suggesting going to couples therapy to see how long it takes the therapist to realize they don’t know each other.

Couple Therapy for First Date

Luna received a notification on her Hinge app confirming that her date had booked a one-hour, in-person therapy session set to take place a couple of weeks later. Adding an unexpected twist, the session came with a hefty price tag of $170. Unable to contain her amusement, Luna shared the hilarious dating escapade with the online community, posting screenshots of the original Hinge prompt and the booking confirmation message. Her date playfully added, “For the record, your last name is Smith, you were born April 1, 1999, and we’ve been together for 2 years now. See you there.” This was accompanied by a winking emoji. The incident added a humorous and unexpected chapter to Luna’s online dating experience.

How the Couple Therapy First Date Idea Went Viral

Luna’s dating escapade, shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), quickly went viral with over 11.9 million views and numerous comments. Netizens had varied reactions, ranging from amusement to concern about potentially wasting the therapist’s time. Some found the incident uproarious and eagerly awaited updates, while a few expressed reservations about the prank.

A professional marriage and family therapist, @NinjaNerd007, chimed in, finding the situation amusing and expressing curiosity about the outcome. Their comment added a humorous perspective from the viewpoint of a therapist with a good sense of humor. The user noted: “As a marriage and family therapist, I find this so f**king funny. I need to know how this plays out … lmfao I really hope your therapist has a good sense of humor.”
