\u201cIt\u2019s rough out there. The streets are bad,\u201d Byer said, commenting on the current dating climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Finding the perfect man is like scoring a one-of-a-kind Gucci purse at a thrift store: to find it, you\u2019ll have to dig. And scoring the metaphorical bag was not the case when Ross shared a dating story that left audience members shocked and appalled.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna tell the whole story, but in a nutshell, [he] sat down, the drinks came, and he took out his phone, <\/span>put it and leaned it on the glass and watched a basketball game,\u201d she recalled \u2014 labeling it as one of the \u201cworst dates\u201d she\u2019s had recently.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ross said she assessed the situation \u2014 and after she realized it wasn\u2019t a practical joke, she tried to make the best of an awkward situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSo I was like, \u2018So who\u2019s playing?\u2019 And he put his hand up. As in like, \u2018Don\u2019t let me miss anything.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In lieu of the ground opening up and swallowing her whole, Ross said she texted her friends, \u201cI need to leave here.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Byer asked if she stayed and ordered another round, to which Ross replied that it was strictly a one-and-done situation. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, the plot? It thickens.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMy favorite is that he\u2019s continued texting me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
