I live by three simple truths.
Number one - Panos Kiamos is the greatest pop singer to ever live. Number two - Alcohol allergies are actually a real thing, despite what your very Greek family believes. And number three – I refuse to be anyone’s experiment. Been there. Done that. No, thank you.
For some reason, these rules don’t seem to deter a certain hunky “swiper” from this god forsaken glitch that has possessed all the dating apps in the tri-state area. It’s swiping abuse, I tell you!
Sure. I have hang ups. Don’t we all? But that does not mean I, “Johnny” Giannis Georgios Andropolis, am suddenly compatible with a super smiley, red-white-and-blue blooded, handler of bricks, who knows all the words to “Hungry Eyes”, and looks at me like I’m a Greek god when I’m sans vital hair products. Aiden Brandt is a unicorn in disguise if I ever saw one. I may not know what I want, but I certainly know what’s not for me. It’s called being a realist, and that man’s peanut butter does not go with my jelly.
* A grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity romance about accepting one’s cultural identity and body, and overcoming past hurts.
