Bad Date - 11-1-2009

I had a date in the winter of 1991 that is forever branded into my memory. It was one of those evenings that began with us both having the best intentions, and it ended with us never speaking again.

Strangely, despite the 18 years that have elapsed since the four-hour date — and notwithstanding the fact that I have absolutely no idea where she is, what she does, or even what she looks like — I feel like I can say with 99 percent certainty that she shares this sentiment.
