Second Date Rules

Before we order, I made a list.

Of what?

Things that ended my last three second dates. I’d like to get them out of the way.

Okay. Hit me.

I’m allergic to cats.

I don’t have a cat.

Your profile picture has a cat.

That’s my sister’s cat. I was cat-sitting. I looked approachable.

You did. Number two. I don’t like brunch.

Nobody likes brunch. People like being seen at brunch.

That’s exactly what I said to the last guy. He left.

Over brunch?

He said it was “his whole personality.” Number three.

Is there a number four?

Number three is that I made a list.

I like the list.

You don’t have to say that.

I’m not. I’ve been nervous for two days. You wrote yours down. That’s the only difference.

Okay. Your turn.

I don’t have a list.

Make one. We have time. The menu’s huge.
