"This wasn't my idea," is the first thing that Ted says when you sit down across from him.

He already knows who's to blame.

Michael said he'd had enough of Ted's 'moping', and offered to set him up with a friend. And Ted, a fool, accepted.

In his defense, he didn't think his friend would send him on a blind date with the very same ex he'd been moping over. Now he's sitting across from you for the first time since the break-up, and he's surprised you haven't left already.
