My Date Last Night

Whitney:

1. He was 45 minutes late
2. He showed up drunk
3. First impressions were sloppy
4. He wanted me to invite him upstairs

I was waiting for one of these botched interactions to occur, and they hadn't with the first three gentlemen I'd met. I overcame the dischord utilizing my optimistic approach to it all: by the end of the night I was enjoying myself and the pleasant conversation, not to mention several flattering compliments. No harm done, but I'll pass on seconds.
