Here’s the scenario:
You met a nice person in an online dating service. They seemed to be almost perfect.
Then the first date happens and all hell breaks loose.
Cheap food, paid using a coupon no less!
Bad conversation and they couldn’t stop checking out all the other people in the place, even flirting with the server while you’re at the table!
So you begin to withdraw.
Small talk turns into pregnant pauses. Interest in the food devolves into merely pushing it around the plate. The look of fear comes into your eyes when dessert, or god forbid, the dreaded after-meal walk is suggested.
You can feel the will to continue living slowly draining out of your body.
You become a walking dead zombie, waiting for the right time to reach across the table and eat your date’s brains, or at least rip their flesh apart so that the fear you feel will also be felt.
The Walking Dead can have their revenge and still survive a first date tragedy.
Next time don’t let it go on so long.
Good luck.
