Fake dating. Like it’s a thing.

The On Wednesdays We Fake Date Shirt was made for the girls who know a fake relationship, a coffee run, and a little suspiciously good chemistry can get complicated very quickly.

Featuring retro teal-and-pink lettering with a hot black coffee and a pumpkin spice latte, this romance-reader tee is packed with subtle little nods for anyone who knows that sometimes the grumpy one falls first, the sunshine one has very specific coffee preferences, and pretending not to have feelings is rarely a successful hypothesis.

Wear it to the bookstore, your Wednesday coffee run, a reading weekend, movie night, or anywhere you’d like another reader to look at your shirt and immediately know.

Because you’re not just anyone. 💗

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this shirt inspired by fake-dating romance books?

Yes. This design was created for romance readers who love fake dating, grumpy x sunshine, STEM romance, forced proximity, slow burns, and stories where pretending to date inevitably becomes a terrible experimental design.

What do the two coffees represent?

The design features a hot black coffee and a pumpkin spice latte as a subtle reader-coded pairing. To everyone else, they’re two cute coffees. To the girls who know, they’re considerably more specific. 👀

Is this a good gift for a Love Hypothesis fan?

Absolutely. It’s especially fun for readers who love academic romance, women-in-STEM stories, fake dating, coffee-fueled banter, grumpy heroes, sunshine heroines, and men who become significantly less unapproachable around exactly one person.

How does the shirt fit?

It has a classic unisex fit. Order your normal size for a relaxed everyday fit or size up for an oversized look.
