006 2nd date? Sure

First date sucked but sure let’s go on another…

We match on Tinder. She’s Brazilian working in Canada. “I moved here yesterday wanna be my tour guide?”, she lists all her favourite place to drink, we pick Green Room.

We’re both running late, I spice things up “whoever gets to the bar last buys the first round”. I lose the bet, she’s sat outside. We finish the first jug of Sangria. I ask if she wants another drink, she says no. How about somewhere else? She’s tells me she wants an early night and is a ‘brunch girl’. I’m thinking why the hell did we decide to go for evening drinks! We walk towards the subway. It’s only 9:30pm. We spoke about everything we wanted to talk about. She asks if I’m staying out for a bit. In my head I’m thinking I don’t know anyone I moved to the city 2 days ago you were supposed to show me around!

I get phone signal and get a text from her. She asks if I fancy lunch tomorrow. Screw it, I’m not doing anything else.

The next day is filled with many awkward silences. We walk around for ages struggling to pick a place. She asks generic questions like what TV shows I like. I just want to go home. We finally pick a brunch spot. A few more hours of small talk and the brunch ends. She takes the subway, I walk home.

Follow your instincts, it might save you some time.
