You ask him if he is doing anything to confirm his suspicions. You perk up, because it sounds like there will at least be an element of drama to enliven his dreary recital. Oh, and he thinks his boss is embezzling from the company. He tells you how underpaid he is, how everyone's out to get him, how he's so frickin' broke all the time, how his momma was a slut and his daddy was a clumsy fool, and how he's trying to escape a relationship with a fortune-hunter who sounds more than a little slutty and shifty. It's like unleashing a veritable torrent. But you decide to give him another chance, and ask him about your his job. Uh-oh, you're a hearty-eating type of girl. Your date asks for the cheapest, blandest-looking food on the menu. The waiter comes over to ask you for your main course choices.
You mentally thank your friend and settle down to have a good evening. The guy seems smart, he manages to make you laugh out loud a couple of times, and the food and ambience are adding to the mystique.
Blind dates haven't worked out so well for you in the past. You chat casually over cocktails and starters, and everything's going surprisingly well. You get to the restaurant, you find your blind date, and he's not bad to look at. You've heard really good things about him from your friend, but for all you know, she could just be biased, or your tastes may not match. You go to the restaurant to meet him, and you're filled with trepidation because the whole experiment could go either way. Let's say one of your friends sets you up on a blind date with a guy you know nothing about. ◊ Historical Mystery (2001): Murphy's Law When I am not writing I love to travel, sing, hike, play my Celtic harp.
