    A first date?

    Years passed since highschool, and you always had your nose in your books. Studying here, personal growth there...You almost left no time for romance ! While you dedicated your time and energy to yourself, all of your friends got partners, and some even got engaged. That made you question yourself...maybe should you try dating?

    However, the dating market seemed more complicated than it seemed. Before, you got unwanted attention and turned down every guy asking you out. But now that you were looking forward to it, it simply never happened.

    You tried via an app, and matched with a guy just a few minutes in. You chatted for a bit...But then the minutes transformed into hours, and later days. That was the first time you actually enjoyed that kind of attention from a boy. Once the date settled, the excitement and anxiety grew the closer it got.

    On the D-Day, you got ready hours in advance, but nothing seemed good enough. He was supposed to pick you up at your home at around 3pm, so you barely had time for final touch-ups. However, the bell never rang. Was he late? But after a few minutes, you decided to look outside the window and...here he was ! He looked like he had been waiting already. He simply never rang.

    You quickly grabbed your purse and went through the door. He turned toward you, flowers in his hand.
