Call her the following day to tell her how much fun you had.
If there is a 2nd date, hope she gives you a Thursday or Friday, maybe a walk on the beach, a movie or play.
See if things are clicking for her and for you.
I guess next up was to sacrifice her to the sun god or something.
3 months max...what was he thinking.
Her name is avery. That weirdo “therapist” had some serious thyroid problems. They were the least of his problems. lol
Salt Lake City? They’d better check for a bevy of wives as well.
It’s ok because it’s part of their culture. /s
Yeah, by all means. Let's bring'em all here.
Well, he’s not going to be recommended as a roommate.
“ Doesn’t play loud music but likes to cut numbers into your forehead.”
Carving a numeral into her hand as a reminder to “watch her 6” was a bit over the top.
Hmmm. Has this guy been sampling his own wares much?!
It’s OK, it’s medical...
All marijuana moguls do this...it’s a ritual
