Silenced by the tide.
I was dating around. I met him online. I knew from the moment I saw his beaten up red Honda civic and smelled the exhaust fumes that this would be an interesting night. I don’t mean that superficially. But he fell into the stereotype of grunge. He came off timid but polite. We parked downtown and walked up the stairs into the restaurant. We sat in silence. I tried to make conversation but it was like pulling teeth. Did I mention he looked nothing like his photo? He was definitely the same person, but way more rigid. The atmosphere was heavy. His energy was mysterious. He made me laugh a few times. But if you knew me, you would know that’s not too hard, I love to laugh. I like having a good time and even though I knew this would be our first and last date I tried to make the best of my time. So we had a few drinks and the atmosphere lightened up. I was not completely satisfied with his presence, but I managed with what company he brought. We finished our meal. He paid the tab after making a joke about forgetting his wallet. That would’ve been fine. I forgot mine too.
