Stories from the Reddit AITA page. For Valentine's day we cover terrible dates. Being too honest with your friend about their dating expectations. Reacting to sudden hostility while grabbing drinks. And telling your friend they’re wrong, even when pressured not to. Four Reddit stories about dating, and terrible dating experiences.

Buckle up for the grand finale of “Plenty of Fish,” where Maia and Grant juggle skittish dogs, star‑struck cousins, and the most unhinged dating stories Reddit can offer. Broadcasting from a friend’s couch (wine in hand), they swap Valentine’s wisdom, sign a dubious half‑marathon pact, and update us on Grant’s ongoing “candy‑thief” whodunit. Then it’s straight into four AITA bombshells: a friend who weaponizes dating statistics, a boyfriend who melts down over birth‑control, a first‑date tantrum about condoms, and a “poly” guy who forgets to mention he’s, well, poly until the STDs show up. Along the way you’ll hear cookie‑price economics, bro‑code takedowns, and a tease of Maia’s next theme (will it be Explosive Competition, Epic Rivalries, or Way Over the Top?). It’s equal parts comedy, cringe, and hard‑won advice, perfect for anyone navigating modern love with a side of chaos.
