you have to start somewhere
oh to be in loveI
Seulgi settled herself in her car and sighed. it was Friday night, the end of another busy week and she had gone on another date. One that ended being vehemently underwhelming. It was only a month ago that she gave into her best friend's nagging and bravely made a profile on Tinder and got back into the dating game.
For her first date, she went to a movie with her date who was a lawyer. What she hoped for was for them to go to dinner afterwards and get to know each other. And if by chance things started awkwardly, they could talk about the movie they had just watched and go on from there. However, her date ended up being a thoroughly opinionated woman who not only trashed and picked apart the movie they had watched (it was Little Women, what was there to complain about really???), she went on to speak rudely at the waiter for forgetting one of the side dishes they had ordered. To say she was a stuck up would be an understatement. Seulgi was ecstatic when her Mum ended up calling her during the dinner that she quickly made an excuse and as kids these days would say, noped the out of the place.
As for the second date, she and her date made plans to meet up at a park near Seulgi’s place. It was only after an hour of waiting and a couple of calls that went unanswered on her dates’ end that she concluded that her date was not going to show up. She was a little bummed since their chats through the app seemed promising and to put it plainly, the woman was quite good looking. Any sane person would probably have given up on finding a partner through an app at this point but Seulgi was not someone who gave up that quickly when she started on something. Therefore, she was determined to give it at least one more go before letting life do its magic on its own. Or not.
So that is how she ended up giving up tickets to go to the theatre to watch “The Man Who Laughs” and ended up freeing her schedule to go on this date which ended up being one of the most unenthusiastic dates she had gone on. The woman by the name of Jieun, arrived 20 minutes late at their meeting place and proceeded to take a phone call which lasted another 20 minutes or so. After finally deciding on a place to go (she changed her mind about going to the restaurant they had previously discussed), they ended up going to a nightclub. And from there on out, she left Seulgi to make do by herself and lost herself into the crowd to “dance the night away” as she put it. What really bothered Seulgi was not the fact that she had hit the dance floor right away but that she did not bother to ask Seulgi to accompany her nor give her any indication that she was needed in any way. That left Seulgi scratching her head and wondering why oh why, was this “date” happening at all. After getting a drink for herself, a non-alcoholic one considering she had to drive back home, she settled down at the bar and observed the crowd. Thinking that her date had pretty much ditched her to do her own thing, she should at least try finding someone else interesting or interested enough to talk with.
Not long after, someone did approach her. The thing was, that someone
