Unexpected Chemistry
Erin My Meme, a force to be reckoned with, reads Cupid and has asked for years if I signed up. I finally listened.
Sheshank I thought it would be an interesting opportunity to find a romantic partner.
Erin I got my nails done the day before. Had a few outfit changes. Called my mom, of course.
Sheshank I showered and shaved! Nothing too exciting.
Erin I was late . . . typical me. I felt bad, so I called the restaurant and asked the hostess to let him know. He was really sweet about it.
Sheshank I was the first there, and a hostess brought Erin to the table when she arrived.
Erin He was handsome. He dressed nicely. He had a nice haircut and groomed beard.
Sheshank She was very pretty. She had a very nice smile and was very energetic.
Flirty Finale
Erin It started to get more flirty toward the end of the evening. I asked if he would like to continue the date by getting a drink at the bar on the other side of the restaurant. He agreed.
Sheshank Didn’t seem like either of us was done with the date. I walked her to her car and we talked before we had a goodnight kiss.
Erin We exchanged numbers and shared a kiss.
Sheshank It ended well, I think. Another date would be great to know more about Erin.
Second Date?
Erin I would go on another date. There were enough green flags to want to explore and get to know him more.
Sheshank I hope so. We both talked about it.
