I showed up 10 minutes early because my sister said “don’t be that guy.”Ordered water. No wine. I wanted to look calm, not desperate.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oLhq13Gak
She was supposed to wear a red scarf. That’s what her profile said.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFL64tdIz1
At 7:03pm, a woman in a red scarf sat down across from me and smiled.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZEWk1pPKq
“I’m so glad you’re punctual,” she said. “My ex was always late.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTgRTVF6EI
We talked for 20 minutes. She was funny. Smart. Hated pineapple on pizza. Perfect.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqscC9v0Zm
Then her phone rang. She glanced at it and froze.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoMS2MxSWh
“Oh my god,” she whispered. “That’s my actual date calling me.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEe71q0d61
My stomach dropped.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV99nR9y1g
“Wait… you’re not Sarah from Hinge?”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rCVUIjvAU
She laughed nervously. “No. I’m Tendai. I’m meeting a Blessing. Table 6.”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqG2OYutcB
I looked at the table number. We were at Table 4.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPvQcLDgLV
She stood up, mortified. “I’m so sorry you’re really nice though!”133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FfVvUvRzw
I sat there alone, watching her rush to another guy across the restaurant.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaTxyakqic
Then my phone buzzed. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeBjD8F8a1
Sarah: _“Hey, sorry I’m late! Are you the guy in the blue shirt at Table 4 looking confused?”_133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbKOLIMfrS
I looked down. I was wearing blue. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMqogo5snm
I looked up. She was walking in, red scarf around her neck, laughing at me.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI8qIkiHA8
Turns out I’d just warmed up with the wrong person… 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPszAugVHcL
And somehow, it was the best icebreaker ever. 😅
