Sylvie
Steve had to stop himself from saying Wow out loud as soon as he saw his next speed date. She was pretty much the dictionary definition of gorgeous- wavy golden hair, big brown eyes, slender and lovely. She was dressed beautifully, too. And she even smelled good... he felt his face starting to flush as he sat down.
"So, uh... I'm Steve" he managed to say eventually.
She nodded and smiled weakly, and seemed to swallow nervously.
"Sylvie" she said quietly.
The uncomfortable silence between them stretched on, and Steve was surprised she wasn't more forthright; weren't beautiful dames used to being the centre of attention? He looked over at her. She was fiddling with her bracelet and looked nervous and stressed. A thought struck Steve then, and he sat up suddenly. She was just as shy and awkward about being there as he was! How about that? Imagine being that good looking and not be able to do anything with it... He knew he should be a gentleman and make this easier for her, but how could he put her at her ease? He... could open up about himself? Start the ball rolling, so to speak. In a crisis or in battle he was a natural leader, yet in social situations he still lacked so much confidence. But heck, chivalry wasn't dead, and he was going to prove it.
Date number:
3- Steve
First impressions:
He seems nervous, too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Might be a nice change from all the other cocky idiots who've been here leering at me.
Things in common:
He talked so much, I didn't have a chance to catch everything he said. In fact, I don't think I caught anything because he talked so damn fast.
Did he make me laugh?
No, I didn't find him funny. Just tedious
Did I make him laugh?
I think I got about 7 words in all together. He was so busy gabbing even Tina Fey wouldn't have had time to crack him up.
Do I feel a connection?
No. Just sick of good looking men who are so self-focused.
Overall impression:
Does he always talk that much / that fast/ that obsessively about himself? What a bore.
Would I like to see this person again?
No. But I would like my 6 minutes back.
