What about another dating story ? I think SS needs some more life lessons.
Oh boy haha.
Back in 2017 I went on many dates. One guy in particular was quite peculiar. I knew from the moment I met him it wasn't going to work out. He was originally from Ukraine (that wasn't the problem obviously) but he kind of reminded me of the meerkats from the Compare the Market adverts. As soon as I heard him speak it was like... Nope.
We sit down in this restaurant and we start chatting, and I learn he works for a large petroleum company. I work for state government, in the minerals and petroleum area so we had something in common there. He then immediately says, "let me give you my business card" and hands it to me. I was like, oookkkay. I accepted it, but I was just weirded out HAHA. There was no chemistry whatsoever. (I think he might've been on the spectrum, which is fine, but not the kind of guy I was looking for). We ordered food and I didn't even feel nervous eating - that's a bad sign

Poor guy haha. Awkward thing was, I saw him two days later at this young industry professionals event LOL. He came up and spoke to me briefly. That night, he texted me and asked for a second date aw but I politely declined!
