Greetings gals! Hope you’re having a great day. I have a story for you about a date that will take longer to read than the “date” lasted!

Our story takes place in a “fancy” bar & grill specializing in macaroni about 10 years ago, in the dark ages before FDS. It was the kind of place that had paper as a table cloth so you could write all over it and they gave you crayons.

I’d met a man on OLD, and he asked me to this place. Having arrived early I sat at the bar and ordered a soda with lime (no alcohol)

My date arrived just on time, on the dot. I recognized him from his photos. I watched him get seated by the waiter, and so I paid my tab at the bar and walked over to the table with my drink in hand

As I’m walking he realizes who I am. He is smiling. As I reach the table he says, “Now there’s a body that would make my ex wife cry.”

There’s a lot to unpack in that uncomfortable, awkward comment. And I didn’t feel like it! Or like seeing him ever again. I said nothing, turned on my heel, placed my soda at the bar, and simply left 💅🏻 I blocked him as I walked out, laughing as I did so. Then went to the pool hall across the road 😂

Until I found FDS I thought I was a giant asshole for not “explaining” to this person brand new to me, why his comment was problematic. I thought I was the asshole for “promising” a date with this man and ditching him without a word.

But despite the “asshole” feelings, I felt completely high on life and giddy that I just slipped away immediately. It was such a huge relief

Much love FDS ladies! ⭐️ Always trending upward ❤️
