Ever been on a date so bad you just have to phone a friend and tell them all about it?

Meet Bridget Hoadley (nickname: Fig), a Melbourne-based designer and illustrator – and serial online dater – who has quite literally turned her bad dates into a side project.

Her ever-growing collection is candid, funny and sometimes bittersweet – and online daters are bound to find something (or someone) they can relate to.

The perfect calendar for anyone scrolling through the world of online dating looking for the elusive “perfect” date.

Actually let’s be honest, its perfect for anyone just wanting a laugh. Every single month.
