@CharacterArcana @4CornersGames You meet at the bank. She compliments your Star Trek shirt. You go paint balling. She kicks your ass. You laugh about it. Talking with her is easy. She falls for you. It’s messy. You decide to just be friends. A year later, she moves. You never see her again. You still wonder.
@kit_the_cleric You go wine tasting. She’s a regular sommelier. She detects notes of oak and cherry. You have no idea what she’s talking about. She’s great at making charcuterie boards.
@AdventuringBrb He’s a science teacher at a public high school. He does Crossfit. You go bouldering. He gives you feedback on your form. You feel very small and outclassed. He’s nice about it though. Maybe it’s a “you” problem. He’s recently divorced. You let him hit it.
@SBundell You go to the aquarium. He has a membership. He also has a membership to the zoo, even though he’s 34, single, and childless. You find it charming. He stutters. He buys you a stuffed otter. Two years later, after you break up, you find the otter in your attic. You begin to cry.
@MortPhilippa He flies you out to Panama Bay on his private jet and takes you sailing on his yacht. He asks you a lot of very specific, very personal questions. You answer them all. He shows you a picture of his ex-husband. He’s hot. He asks you to dress up like him. This is your first date.
@bmagrieveson You pick him up in your 2010 Camry. You joke about the check engine light being on all the time. He silently programs a new destination into your GPS. He takes you to his mechanic shop. He fixes your car. You miss the concert. You make love on the hood of his Ford Explorer.
@Cosmopunks You eat dinner at her place. She was fired from Taco Bell for throwing hot coffee at a rude customer. She’s on house arrest, but not for that. She shows you her eleven ankle monitors.
@chasingtalespod @HomebrewQueens She shows up in heels and a Gucci purse. She gives you a once-over and you wither. You get dinner at a French restaurant in the business district. She laughs a lot at your jokes. She orders a $125 bottle of Corsican red. She lets you hold her hand. You are now her sugar daddy.
@ekatcarter You go skydiving. Halfway through the fall, you look over and see that she’s eaten the instructor, parachute and all, and is staring at you hungrily. You get dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. She orders a lava cake. The waitress looks terrified. She tips well.
@musicbymidieval She’s a senior in college. You go to her acapella show. It’s packed. She has a solo. Girls scream for her. Afterward, she’s surrounded by adoring fans. When she smiles at you, it’s like she’s the only person in the world. You have an intense, 4 month long romance. It ends poorly.
