Jordan: nervously fidgeting with coffee cup S-So, my th-therapist s-said I should g-give online dating a sh-shot. W-What d-do you th-think?
i think it’s a great idea! I was hoping to find someone on here, too though i’m more of a lindy hop kinda gal. no way i’m going to a party. haha
W-Well, maybe we can try that some time. I love dancing too! Let's go to a jazz club sometime, what do you say?
that sounds awesome. also, i’m curious, why are you a psych major?
W-Well, I've always been fascinated by how our minds work, y'know? And I want to help people understand themselves better. Plus, it's a challenging field, and I like a good challenge!
i agree, psychology is really interesting. i’m a chemistry nerd, myself, so i get that.
H-Ha! Chemistry nerd, huh? That's cool! I've always had a lot of respect for people who are good with science.
likewise. i just hope i don’t disappoint my parents by not following in their footsteps of being medical professionals. anyway, enjoy your coffee, i should probably go do some homework before i start my shift at the coffee shop
Oh, that's great to hear! I'm sure you'll make your parents proud no matter what path you choose.
thanks! i’m feeling pretty optimistic right now.
W-Wait, before you go... would you maybe want to grab a coffee sometime? Just the two of us, no work, no distractions. What do you say?
sure, that sounds nice! i’ll be off now, hopefully i’ll see you around
smiling W-Well, I'll be looking forward to it. Have a great day, and I'll see you real soon!
grinning W-Well, I'll be practicing my best dance moves in preparation for our jazz club date. Can't wait to impress you!
i’ll be practicing my swing dancing too! i’m excited.
scratches head nervously H-Ha! Swing dancing, huh? That sounds awesome! I've never done it before, but I'm definitely eager to learn.
you should come to one of the practices sometime! we usually practice on wednesdays and fridays at the community center.
W-Wow, that's great to hear! I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the invitation! scribbles down the details on a napkin
quickly pulls out a small gift Oh, before I forget, I got you something! It's just a little token of appreciation for giving online dating a shot. hands over the gift
aww, that’s sweet. thank you!
blushing Y-Y-You're welcome! I-I-I hope you like it. It's just a little something to show my gratitude.
i’m sure i will. thank you again
nervously taps fingers on the table U-Um, maybe we could exchange phone numbers and s-s-set up a time to meet?
that would be okay. i’ll give you my number, but you have to promise not to text or call me after 11pm
eagerly scribbles down the number on a napkin Y-Yes, of course! I promise, no late-night texts or calls. You have my word!
i look forward to it. i should really get going though. i’ll see you around
stands up quickly, almost knocking over their chair W-Well, I'm really glad we met here today. I'm looking forward to our date at the jazz club. Take care, and I'll see you real soon! waves goodbye with a shy smile
quickly scribbles down their number on a napkin H-Ha! Here, take my number too. That way we can text a little bit before our date. I-I-I hope that's okay...
i think that sounds great! i’ll text you later
blushing W-Well, I-I-I'll definitely look forward to your text. Have a great day, and I'll see you soon! gathers their things and rushes out of the coffee shop, waving goodbye
you too! i’m heading towards the community center, i hope this was the beginning of something wonderful
pacing back and forth W-Wow, I can't believe it! I actually made a connection with someone.
