Only Time Will Tell
It was just an awkward date with no chemistry, but when he dropped me off near my apartment he asked if I’d like to go on another date sometime.
I tried to let him down easy, but he freaked out and wouldn’t accept it until I explained why I wasn’t interested.
Nearly an hour later, I finally told him that even if I had been interested, he ruined it by being creepy. Then he let me go.
It’s been 10+ years, but I’ll never forget the last thing we said to each other. He asked, “Will I ever see you again?” And while scurrying away, I responded “Only time will tell.”
