Phoebe Gray (24) is experiencing an excruciating form of psychological torture known as modern dating after noticing a rather peculiar viewer lurking at the top of her Instagram story.
Phoebe was at a bar in Betoota’s French Quarter, having a wine with the girls, and posted a moody shot of two wine glasses and a bowl of marinated olives.
Aesthetic bait, made to look like she was on a date, carefully curated for one particular audience member.
Within three seconds, Oliver Browne (27) had viewed it.
“Bastard,” Phoebe muttered under her breath, despite having posted the story precisely for Oliver to see.
“What’s wrong?” her friend Mia asked.
“He’s watched my story but hasn’t even texted me back!” Phoebe groaned, sipping her Pet Nat.
Phoebe and Oliver had met on Hinge a few weeks ago, gone on what felt like a promising date, and since then, had been locked in a painful uphill battle of small talk over Instagram DMs.
“I just asked him if he’s seen this movie and he left me on delivered for 48 hours,” Phoebe exclaimed.
Oliver had seemingly vanished from all forms of communication that didn’t involve passively monitoring women online.
“Maybe you need to post a thirst trap?” Mia chuckled.
Oliver was unavailable for comment, though sources confirm he has just watched another story within seconds of it going up.
