The first and last date
Just wanted to tell of a recent date I had. It was under unusual circumstances. To quote a friend “why are you talking to an Italian? You should be looking for PA junk” the fact is, he was interesting and available on a business trip. He didn’t know what I looked like so there was some anxiety. I made the effort to curl my hair and look nice/casual.We greeted with a hug. Against the advice of friends, I got in his car after assessing him. Lol. He bumped his head on the car while unlocking the passenger side. He didn’t open the door for me but I let it slide. He might have suffered a concussion. He fumbled more with the button in the key to set those locks free but he hit the panic alarm instead. I tried to limit the humor to a smile.
We both admitted to being slightly disappointed, the honesty refreshing. I directed him to the nearest Walmart to purchase a change of clothes, the airline had lost his bag. Poor traveler. The clothes were not to his liking and I asked him if I should turn away while he looked at men’s briefs. I held back more than a smile.
He looked at me and informed me to his surprise that I am thin. He thought all Americans are obese. I laughed.
The rest shall remain a mystery.
