Tie or no tie?
I sigh as I put the two ties down on the bed before turning back on the full-length mirror, checking out my appearance. Perhaps no tie, since it's a first date and all, not a job interview.
Sighing for the umpteenth time, I lift my fingers, almost ruffling my hair, before I stop at the last minute. I have styled it back, glossing the long bangs out of my hair, fully showing my face.
I have to showcase my best attributes if I am going to impress my date, and if I am to get a second date—and another one after that.
I never thought that this would be as unnerving as I am feeling. I have never gone on a date. I have never dressed up to go meet a person to share dinner with and also talk about myself and hear all about them, in the interest that we will like each other.
But lately, I have been feeling that I need a change in my personal life. It's not right to live as a monk and assume that I am not lonely even though I am.
