One match away

Emily’s Tinder date

By Bocca Published 8 months ago 1 min read

It’s been two months since I broke up with that guy, and he’s already found someone new. Meanwhile, I’ve got no one. I installed Tinder because—why not give it a try? I wrote in my bio that I love dogs and picked a few pictures from the photoshoot I had last week. I bought a Guess skirt and *had* to take pictures in it.

**James. Swipe right. MATCH!!**

Okay, Emily, take it easy.

He asked if I wanted to grab a drink. Why not?

We agreed to meet tonight at 8 in the city centre.

Oh my *goooosh*… I have no idea what to wear. Maybe I could go with a skirt, but my mom thinks it’s a terrible choice. I’ll put on a bit more makeup tonight, and I dyed my hair last Friday anyway. Time to stalk James a little. He’s 34—interesting. He really seems nice. Maybe it’ll be more than just one date.

I started doing my makeup and played some rap in the background. Mom’s already asking questions about where I’m going… I don’t know why she’s so curious. After I put on the final bit of glitter on my eye, my dog peed on my sandals. Oh well, you little rascal—I’ll wear a different pair.

**7:20 PM.** I should probably leave soon so I’m not late. I put the cash I withdrew last night into my purse and headed out.

As I sat on the tram, I started thinking about him.

What would we talk about? Should I ask him about his past relationships? What does he do for a living? Age doesn’t really bother me, but… what if he has a kid?
