This is a true story that happened last Friday.
After a long week at work, my friend Tone calls me and asks if he and his girlfriend, Grace can come over for a few beers before their dinner reservation. (I live in the city and they live in the suburbs so it was a good chance for us three to catch up). We chat over a few drinks and they tell me that they’re going to a restaurant in Center City to meet up with one of Grace’s co-workers, Kris. Tone and Grace offer me to join their reservation and I immediately ask if this mystery Kris girl has a boyfriend. Grace admits that she does but quickly qualifies that they’ve only been seeing each other for a few months and she’s not sure how serious it is. I consider the dinner offer but firmly decide that it’s not worth it, I’d essentially be going on a weird blind date with a likely unavailable girl. I resigned to having a few beers, smoking some weed and watching some comedy specials for the night, a perfectly solid end to a tiring week..
