The second date was surprisingly awkward. Alexa wasn’t sure when to bring it up because she liked James so much. The date was to see a comedy show. The comedians were a little funny but not funny enough to distract Alexa from her thoughts.
James seemed to notice and assumed his date was unhappy. As the night progressed to dinner Alexa decided to ease into the topic.
“So, um, any crazy ex-girlfriends I should know about?” She tried to make it seem funny but it fell flat because of her nervous tone.
“No. Thank God. You? Any crazy ex-girlfriends?” James was teasing but it hit the nail on the head for Alexa.
“Well, not crazy. We just used to argue a lot.” Alexa took a sip of water to calm her nerves. She knew what the next question would be.
“About what?” James was cautious already. This was only their second date. They had gone to see a movie on their first date and ended up talking in a coffee shop for two hours after it was supposed to end. He didn’t want any red flags to pop up with Alexa, they had really clicked.
