Recently I matched with a girl and we had a solid conversation from the start so we agree to meet for drinks. I get to the bar a few minutes early and text her to say I'm out front. She confirms she's in her Uber and should be there in less than 5 minutes, which to me means she's at least 10 minutes out. Sure enough, after just a couple minutes I see the Uber pull up. She gets out and right away I can tell the photos she's used are heavily doctored. I wouldn't say she's ugly, but definitely not the girl I was expecting to meet. She makes eye contact with me, smiles and walks my direction. I take a deep breath and tell myself to just get through the night...
We hug, and start heading inside. As the bouncer is checking our IDs I ask if she's ever been to this bar before and she tells me she has, but it was a long time ago. Then she kind of gives this sort of side-eye look...
"You're Stephen, right?"
No...
"...Evan?"
Haha nope...
Turns out it was completely the wrong girl and I was the wrong guy for her. My date showed up, as I thought, about 10 minutes after that.
