Had a first date scheduled with a girl named Amanda. She was 19 years old, I’m in my early 30s at the time. I expressed some initial concern about our ages, and she said that age was just a number, like any good girl would do. I further explained that I wasn’t necessarily looking for anything serious, but I could potentially be open to it if we had the right chemistry. She said she’d be up for meeting and finding out. We had some shared interests, both liked the same music, enjoyed food, and she wanted to get more into hiking in the northeast seeing as she was originally from the south.
I didn’t get a particularly strong hookup vibe, and thought that I’d take her out for a meal and go from there. Cute girl, could be fun! She was unable to tell me exactly when she would be available, but we had tentative plans to meet up on a Saturday. She said she would let me know.
