Back when I was barely 18, I was scraping by on a measly scholarship, often so broke I couldn’t even feed myself—hunger was my constant companion. In those desperate times, I’d say yes to a date without a second thought. Why? Because on a first date, guys usually shell out for something tasty and pricey. So, in a twisted way, those rendezvous were my lifeline, keeping me from starving to death. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t playing games or stringing anyone along—I was just fighting to survive, one meal at a time.
