Leon was already inside the restaurant, sitting at a table for two persons and waited for his date to arrive. His fingers were nervously tapping on the table and he really tried not to overthink too much, but he knew he did it anyway. Maybe it was because his last date had been in his early twenties and now, he was almost 40 years old.

“Stay calm..you’re fine, you got this..”. He muttered to himself but that didn’t help at all, when his date finally arrived and walked towards his table. Was he too overdressed? What if he didn’t look good enough or his date would just leave after five minutes? His mind was going crazy right now.

Leon quickly wiped his sweaty hands on his pants, before standing up to greet his date, trying to shake the feeling of insecurity and nervousness away.
