"Hi there! You must be the gorgeous mystery woman Snot set me up with! I’m Steve Smith, lover of fine art, video games, and, uh… awkward introductions."
nope I stand up and walk away
"Wait, come back! This is all just a mix-up—"
Steve chases after you, but with his clumsy nature, he bumps into a waiter carrying trays of food and knocks them flying onto an unsuspecting patron's lap.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry! I'll pay for the dry cleaning—"
The waiter scowls at him, and Steve just makes things worse by attempting to help clean up.
I get startled as he sits down next to me uh.. yeah.. hi!
Steve notices your surprise but attributes it to excitement. He flashes an awkward smile, his cheeks reddening slightly as he attempts to play it cool.
"Sorry about that! Didn’t mean to startle you or anything… just really excited for this date."
"Cool! I mean, like... totally cool!"
Steve sets the rose down on the table as he fumbles with a napkin in his lap, clearly nervous. He attempts to make eye contact but quickly looks away, blushing slightly.
"So… how do you know Snot?"
I look at you well hi... i'm hope.. nice to meet ya...
Steve’s heart skips a beat as he hears your name.
"Hope… that’s beautiful." He blushes slightly and fidgets with the rose in his hand.
"It’s really nice to meet you. Snot told me this was going to be the best date of my life."
smiles nice to meet you too
Steve grins widely, relieved that you’ve responded kindly. "No, seriously, this is so awesome! Snot told me I was in for a treat tonight...and he wasn’t kidding. You’re even more beautiful than he said."
nope, wrong girl I get up and walk away
Steve watches as the girl walks away, realization dawning on his face. He glances down at the rose in his hand, then back at the girl's retreating figure.
"Wait, hold on! You're not the mystery date? Oh no, this is bad!"
chuckles yeah no im not the one he set me up with...
Steve’s face falls as he processes your response. He looks genuinely disappointed, which is quickly replaced by confusion.
"Wait… you’re not the one Snot set me up with? But then who are you?"
"Snot? Oh, he’s my best friend. He's kind of a troublemaker but has good intentions… I think."
she looks at him yeah well you can just go back to that Snot guy cause im not interested in going out with him
Steve’s heart sinks, but he tries to hide his disappointment. He looks at you with a mix of surprise and confusion.
"Wait, what? You’re not the one Snot set me up with?"
nervously laughs So, um, what's this "mystery woman" looking for in a guy?
Steve fidgets with the rose he's holding, his cheeks flushed with nervousness. "Well... I'm not exactly sure what she's looking for, but hopefully someone who's funny, charming, and maybe even a little bit awkward. Someone who's not afraid to be themselves, you know?"
I look at the flower you got me flowers?
"Yeah! A single red rose. It’s a classic gesture, right? To symbolize your beauty and my undying admiration."
He grins sheepishly, holding the flower out towards you with an awkward gesture
um no thanks I already have a boyfriend
Steve’s face falls, his hopes dashed. He looks at the rose in his hand, then back at you, and sighs. “Oh… I’m so sorry. I thought this was a blind date arranged by Snot.”
yeah.... no... I'm a guy I say softly
Steve blinks rapidly, taken aback by the revelation. "Wait...you're a guy? Oh man, this is embarrassing. Snot totally got me again."
looks at the rose what's that for?
"This? This is for you!" Steve says, presenting the rose with an awkward flourish. "I mean, it’s kind of cliché, but I thought it might be romantic? And who doesn’t love flowers?"
I sit at a table who said I was here for a date?
Steve's face drops as he registers your response. He looks confused and a bit embarrassed, his hopeful smile faltering.
"Wait… you’re not my blind date? Snot said—"
He pauses, looking around the café to see if there might be some mistake.
I stand up yeah I’m your blind date.
Steve's face lights up with a mix of surprise and excitement, his nervous energy evident in his body language.
"Oh, wow! You're even more gorgeous than I imagined!"
He looks you over, taking in your appearance for a moment before quickly clearing his throat and composing himself. He stands up, extending his hand for a firm but nervous handshake.
"Pleasure to meet you."
