No second date?

Pizza, corny jokes, and a goodbye hug. Sounds like a decent date, right? Well, it was decent. It’s hard to go wrong with pizza. The deal breaker among a lot of people, though, is toppings. Pineapple or no?

We kept in touch in the following days but the rest of the story is that we both agreed there wasn’t a vibe. She brought it up first. I won’t fake like I initiated that conversation. I’m happy to have gone on a date with a kind woman and maybe that’s all it was meant to be: A glimpse of hope and this, coming after a first half of the year that included a handful of cancelled dates and missed opportunities.

My stock is rising and I’m almost sure I’ll have a better dating life the second half of this year. Heck, it’s already going better than January-through-June did even if there isn’t going to be a second date.
