Story Sent in by Jonathan:
Tara, who I was taking out for a first date, was in a bad mood. As soon as we walked into the cafe, she said, "I don't know why we're here. I'm not even hungry."
It was around lunchtime and as I reminded her, "It was your idea to come here. What would you rather do?"
She said, "I don't really care. I shouldn't even be on a date. I'm still pissed at my ex."
The warning bell clanged so loudly in my head that I barely could hear anything else. Before I could respond, she said, "It was seven years ago, but it still pisses me off, you know?"
I didn't. She then gave me a quick hug and said, "You'll make some girl happy and marry her tomorrow. Let me grow into the spinster I was clearly meant to be!" She then left me there, so I had lunch by myself. No sense in wasting a visit.
Op, you should have shown her some love.
ReplyDeleteWell at least you didn't have to pay for her lunch. Bullet dodged.
ReplyDeleteThere is some great self awareness in this story.
ReplyDelete@ Blue Blue - Are you sure? This girl was wearing a dress made out of red flags. Her car had a custom paint job of 1000 waving red flags and a custom plate that spelled REDFLG! But you're probably right. The love of a man could have fixed it all.
Agreed Architect!
ReplyDelete@ Architect, if a man could love her and show her the love that she desires, she wouldn't be so bitter.
