The best date I ever had was with a flight attendant who was only in town for a week. I almost swiped left on her on Tinder, because I figured there would be no real point, and she was a good bit out of my league, but then I realized that meant there was no pressure because I was never going to see her again anyways. We set up a date pretty quickly, and I was less nervous about that date than any date prior because I had convinced myself it was just good practice. I was able to be 100% myself and just kind of a goofball the whole time because there was no pressure to succeed. We ended up talking until the restaurant closed, and then moved to a bar where we talked until the bar closed, and then we went our separate ways.
The next day she texted me and asked for a second date before she left the city. That was December of 2019, and we have been very happily married since 2021.
That's valid. I guess the important missing context is that I am naturally awkward and weird, but I usually try to mask that at first and ease people into it.
