16 Times Gizelle Bryant Was Our Dating Spirit Animal

No one said dating was easy. Gizelle Bryant is all of us, guys. 

By Rachael Roberts
Gizelle Bryant Don't Want No Scrubs on This Date

If dating were an art form, Sunday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac was a romance master class lead by none other than Gizelle Bryant. The Potomac lady handled her less than perfect date with “No Swag” Herman like a boss. She bobbed and weaved around those awkward moments like a champ – and her dating philosophies were so on point, they’ve become our new mantras. The next time you’re swiping for love, simply replace Gizelle with your own name and repeat: "Gizelle doesn’t just date la-di-da-di anybody." We’re sure your scrub rate will plummet.
