Plenty Of Fish In The Sea

Sarah lived life in the fast lane. She embraced the rat race, she loved extreme sports and she even volunteered during her weekends. What Sarah wanted though, was a partner to share her passions with.

That’s why she tried using a dating app. Her first date was with Henry, but Henry was dull as dishwater. Her second date was with Mark, but Mark was as mad as a box of frogs. Her third date was with Justin, but Justin was a slimeball.

Sarah wanted to give up, but then she remembered the wise words of her best friend.

“Don’t worry Sarah, there are plenty of fish in the sea.”

Further examples:

  • Nick has always lived life in the fast lane. You won’t find him in the countryside, he’s more likely to be on a boat in Monaco sipping champagne.

  • I’m so bored of the rat race, we live in such a materialistic world and capitalism is destroying our society!

  • I remember my old History teacher, he was dull as dishwater.

  • My neighbour Harriet is very kind, but she’s mad as a box of frogs.

  • I can’t believe Phil cheated on his girlfriend again, he’s a total slimeball!

  • Bob was sad about breaking up with Beth, but after a few months he realised there were plenty of fish in the sea, and now he’s dating again.
