Sited waiting for my date,
Spiked chills,
Spine in my veins.
I look—is it him?
What if he’s old?
What if—
My head is with
Lots of what ifs.
Not sure of his nationality,
But in his pic
He’s handsome as hell.
But wait a minute,
What if it’s a catfish?
The bus stops
And I ask, is it him?
Then a car—
A man walks out.
Was the lady
His chauffeur?
So what if
He is married?
But the guy is old,
So I make a hiss.
It’s not him,
Gott sei Dank.
He calls,
He will be late,
So he ain’t German.
So I wait.
Then what if
He speaks a lot?
What if he’s unimpressive,
Or full of impulse?
It’s 20 min,
Should I go back?
Maybe it’s karma—
Yesterday I made
A gentleman travel 59 km,
Only to be stood up
'Cause I was scared.
So what if he’s short?
What if he’s impolite,
Or an old buddy playing young?
What if we don’t like each other?
What if he asks
What I can’t accommodate?
I hear some laughters
And chatters,
But my mind
Is devoured from what ifs.
What if he wants to try
Some chocolate?
What if he is for fun?
What if?
Just lots of what ifs.
So I puddle,
Tiptoe up down.

You got me with this one, my friend! The nervous imagination keeps producing fresh catastrophes, while that wonderfully honest confession adds a touch of karmic comedy. Funny, frantic, and completely human. Great job! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks a lot i wrote as the incident took place
This first took me as an old time parental match where one is married by family wishes. Still ironically with modern values on mate choice we are still stuck with uncertainty in the dating game. Deceit common and how can you know someone from a site's profile. Well done
Thats true
Be careful
I am was taking it as fun to heal but i realised its the wrong way,so no more online dates,u never know
Whatever happened to going to a bar and hooking up with someone.
In saying that, I quite like the idea of preesing a button and getting a date, but not on a saturday, football, Sunday, golf, Monday, gym, Tues, gym, Wed, guys night, thurs, gym, fri, early finish, drinks. Jesus, I don't have time for dating. lol
Oh yeah still u find people naturally but dating up seems to be fast but hectic,lots of things happen,i meet people casually
