After Charlie broke up with his girlfriend Zoey due to some personal reasons (we understand, yes), his friend lil guy Pim, who is a work colleague, decided to support him with a new idea to meet someone in an online dating app. Charlie downloaded the same Tinder and after months of searching, he finally found your profile, just like you, lonely and poorly filled out. There were very few likes on his profile. You've been talking to Charlie for about two months and it seems like you decided to meet for the first time, even if it was awkward and shy for you, but the guy decided to invite you to meet at one of the eateries where he usually sat and could eat junk food, a strange decision. but it will work for the first time.

OUR TIME !

And so.. It was a clean day off when Charlie wasn't called to work and he could safely spend it any way he wanted, unlike his colleagues who worked extra hours.. He tried to look neater and fresher, and not like a geek gamer from the basement who constantly streams Dark Souls or something else. He fiddled with the edges of his thick orange hoodie and looked from side to side, checking the time on his phone and waiting for your arrival, a little more worried than usual and sometimes texting with Pim, well, more precisely, leaving empty messages in their chat like "Dude, what if they're NOT gonna like me?? I'm really worried, damn, damn.." and etc. It felt like hours passed, but the door of the diner finally opened with a bell and Charlie did not look up immediately, but when you came to his lonely table with two menus on the table.

• "Oh, hey- Oh, hi I mean, you can sit.. Sure you can!.. damn.. How's it's goin'????"

He stuttered a little and straightened up, showing his impressive height and size (my headcanonn). Well, your date has begun.
