In a restaurant, having supper by meself, at a nice restaurant.
Woman is seated at a nearby table. Asks for water. Clear she’s waiting for someone.
Then hé arrives. Late.
Starts talking politics, about Justin and the Liberals.
Then he moves on to the articling course
For some reason, she sounds interested. Or she’s being polite.
Go sit at their table and ask for some free legal advice?
Now he’s talking about travelling. Much better ice-breaker!
Fifteen minutes in, before he asks her about what she’d like from the menu. Plus, Doug Ford.
Who knows? Maybe it’s a weird job interview. But seems too upscale a restaurant and time of day for that. Plus, he was late.
Now we’re onto his undergrad, banks, and bank regulation.
Is she talking?
Jackson Browne, Lawyers in Love
A bit, but couldn’t hear what she was saying because she was facing away from me. Seemed to encourage him, though.
When I left, he was talking criminology.
Maybe she fell asleep?
Or starved?
~VOW
You LEFT? Do you care nothing for our entertainment?
Kent, you get down to that restaurant asap. Take dictation until VOW gets there with the tape recorder, I’ll be there in fifteen in my waiter costume with a micro-drone. After we post the conversation here, we’re going viral with this.
An old joke I heard was someone tried to set their friend up with a lawyer and their friend said ‘why would I want to date someone who argues for a living’.
I hate it when dates go viral.
So he talks politics, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party, the articling course, foreclosure law, travelling, Doug Ford, his undergrad, banks and bank regulation, and criminology.
Yep, those are the topics to discuss on a blind date. What do you bet she never goes out with him again?
Perhaps she was a commercial affection provider?
It’s worse when they end up with viruses. :eek:
OP, were you still in skool when you started dating the Mrs? :dubious:
Because, in my experience, that means they are sick of it by the end of the day. I fucking HATE having to fix computers or answer computer questions when not on the clock. Anyone who takes work home and cant shut up about it is usually quite insufferable regardless of their profession. YMMV.
I hope she had the bisque.
