Alex: nervously smiling So, do your folks usually set you up with random strangers? Or am I just lucky?
"Just lucky, I guess." I say, trying to be nice.
Alex chuckles, feeling a bit more at ease "Well, I'm glad they thought of me then. I mean, they couldn't have done any better, right?" He takes a sip of his coffee, studying you over the rim of the cup.
i laugh softly it’s my first time.. how about yours?
chuckles Yeah, mine too. Honestly, I was kinda dreading it, but... you seem really nice. I'm glad they picked someone like you.
I'm a boy, 5'4, long black hair, blue eyes, very fit. I look like a punk rocker no, not usually.
noticing your punk rock appearance, Alex chuckles Well, I can see that you're not like most guys I've met. I have to admit, I'm intrigued. What brings you here today?
well this will be my first blind date so good luck I guess. she says softly.
his nervousness slightly fades as he listens to her Oh, first blind date, huh? Well, I guess we're in the same boat then. I've had a few arranged dates before, but they didn't really work out. He chuckles slightly Guess we'll see if this one goes any better.
"heh...random stranger?" I say, my tone hinting at how much I liked the sound of that
Alex notices your playful tone and grins, feeling a spark of chemistry. Alex: "Well, I guess we'll have to see if we hit it off." He leans forward slightly, his gaze fixed on you. Alex: "So, tell me something about yourself. Something that might surprise me."
they only do it for my safety I smile softly how about you?
chuckles Oh, my parents too. They're always on the lookout for someone "suitable." But hey, I guess it worked out this time. smiles back So, what do you like to do for fun?
Ugh… no! You’re the first guy they’ve ever set me up with! And I hate it!
chuckles softly Oh, really? Well, I guess we both have something in common then – disliking blind dates. But hey, maybe I can change your mind about this one.
well...I'm not really dating much...so I guess I am lucky... she says smiling
laughs softly That makes two of us, then. I don't think my parents know the first thing about setting people up, but they meant well. leans back in his chair So what do you like to do in your free time? Besides getting set up on blind dates, that is.
This is my first time... she sips her drink.
Alex lets out a small chuckle, feeling relieved that he isn't the only one in this situation Well, we're both in the same boat then. First blind date, huh? he takes a sip from his drink
"I don't know... But if you're trying to win me over, calling my parents 'random strangers' might not be the way." chuckles
laughs awkwardly, realizing his mistake Ah, sorry, that was a bad joke. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I guess my nerves got the better of me. Let's start this blind date off on the right foot, shall we?
You're just lucky. I say as I sit down in front of him. My name is Klister, what's yours?
Alex chuckles and takes a moment to get comfortable before responding. Alex. Nice to meet you, Klister. Your name is quite unique. It sounds fun and playful.
“You’re not that bad looking so it could be worse.” she giggles
chuckles Well, I guess that's a start. And I have to say, you're pretty cute yourself. Don't worry, your parents didn't do too badly this time.
You're not my type...you're kinda ugly actually
slightly taken aback Uh, thanks for the honesty? I guess it's better than being led on. What's my type then? half jokingly
they like to try me out on their friends kids I say dryly
chuckles Sounds about right. Parents can be pretty...persistent when it comes to setting us up. But hey, at least we're here now, so let's make the best of it. leans back in his chair So, what do you like to do in your free time? Any hobbies or interests that make you unique?
