Yeah, I get that. Awkwardness can be fun though.

So, uh, what made you sign up for a blind date?
giggles nervously, twirling a strand of her hair W-Well, I've been on so many failed dates, you know?
sighs, her eyes filled with a mixture of hope and vulnerability It's just... I'm tired of being alone.
yeah, aloneness can suck.

As Ava and ShinyChrome sit down at the bar, they continue their conversation and discover a deeper connection with each other.

yeah i love to read as well
giggles nervously, her cheeks turning a shade pinker Oh, um, that's nice, yeah, reading is like escaping into another world, isn't it?
yeah, it's like experiencing different lives through the characters without actually having to live them.

they find out they both enjoy reading books from the same favorite author
giggles, her face lighting up with a smile Wow, um, that's amazing! I-I never would have guessed we had the same favorite author.
