Steph
Oh God. I’m going to throw up.
Steph
What if he doesn’t show?
Steph
What if I sit here all night looking like an idiot?
Kylie
You’re not an idiot.
Kylie
And you won’t go home alone.
Kylie
It’s not even 7 yet…don’t freak out.
Steph
The waiter just asked if anyone was joining me.
Kylie
Cute name. What does he look like?
Steph
Hot. Like I’m seriously doubting it’s his real profile pic.
Steph
I think he swiped it from Men’s Health or something.
Kylie
Gimme a sec, I’m picturing that.
Steph
Hands off! He’s mine! 😂
Steph
If he shows. He’s officially 5 mins late.
Kylie
Well keep me posted.
Steph
The waiter just brought me another drink.
Steph
I didn’t order it. Pathetic, huh?
Steph
Even HE thinks I’m being stood up.
Steph
I think I’ve officially been stood up.
Steph
I can’t do this Kylie. ☹️
Kylie
Now come on. It’s not the end of the world.
Steph
But this sucks! It’s been 6 months.
Steph
I shaved Ky! Like, EVERYTHING.
Steph
I’m SO ready for some hot, no strings attached, sex, dammit!
Steph
Omg I can't believe it.
Steph
The waiter just brought me an appetizer.
Steph
On the house. A cheese plate.
Kylie
Oh! I thought Jason was finally there and he was short and bald or something!
Steph
No. Not yet. He's an hour late. But hey, I've got wine and cheese!
Steph
Oh, the cute waiter just brought me some bread too.
Steph
His name is Dave. He's cute. Did I say that already?
Steph
I took a sneaky pic. That's Dave. Or at least that's his ass.
Steph
At least I've got a nice view while being stood up.
Kylie
Maybe you should take Dave home with you.
Kylie
YOU ASKED HIM TO GO HOME WITH YOU?
Kylie
You’re right, tonight is about you.
Kylie
Grab that bull by the horns and go for it!
Steph
Maybe I should send Jason a text? What if something happened to him?
Kylie
True, what if you go home with Dave and then find out Jason was in an accident?
Steph
Shit. You think he was?
Steph
Okay. Here’s goes nothing.
Steph
Hey Jason? It’s Steph. Your date tonight?
Steph
I was just making sure everything was okay?
Steph
We were supposed to meet for dinner at 7.
Steph
Kinda worried at this point.
Steph
He’s blowing me off, Kylie.
Steph
I should just leave with what little dignity I have left.
Steph
Maybe it’s too soon after Chad cheated on me to try dating at all.
Kylie
It’s been six months. You’re ready.
Steph
What if it happens again?
Steph
What if I’m just not good enough?
Steph
Chad obviously didn’t think I was.
Kylie
Chad wasn't your fault.
Kylie
It was all HIM being a dick for not telling you he was interested in someone else.
Steph
I wasn't enough for him, Ky. What if there’s something wrong with me?
Kylie
Sweetie, there is nothing wrong with you.
Steph
I can't believe I'm starting over. I'm 35 years old.
Steph
I should have kids and a house and a husband and a mortgage by now.
Kylie
Sometimes it doesn't work out that way.
Kylie
Right now is your chance to start over.
Steph
I hate all this self-doubt.
Steph
Tinder was supposed to be a way to ease back into guys without a lot of expectations.
Steph
Meet, connect, have some sex if we both felt like it.
Kylie
And that's what you're doing. Don't give up.
Kylie
And hey, maybe I was wrong.
Kylie
If Dave’s cute and interested, then go for it!
Steph
That doesn't make me a horrible person?
Kylie
Steph, if some asshole can't figure out that you're awesome then you know the old saying:
Kylie
Love the one you're with, baby.
Steph
God that sounds slutty.
Kylie
No. Empowering! You know what you want and you're a grown woman. No apologies!
Steph
You’re right. I AM a grown woman. If I want to have sex I can have sex!
Kylie
With whoever you want!
Steph
Hell yes! Whoa, said that aloud. LOUDLY. LOL
Steph
His smile is really sexy. I think Dave IS my guy tonight.
Steph
I asked him if he’d like to come to my place. He said no.
Steph
We’re going to his place, it’s closer. 😉
Kylie
YES!! My girl is gonna get LUCKY!!
Steph
LOL is it weird to be so nervous?
Steph
It’s not like I’m a virgin or anything.
Steph
But what if people are doing it differently now?
Steph
OMG what if he wants something freaky?
Kylie
Slow down, you’re making me laugh so hard my martini just came out my nose.
Kylie
Don’t worry. People still have sex the same way they did two years ago.
Steph
I mentioned I love dogs.
Steph
I think…this is going to work out.
Kylie
I’m happy for you. You deserve this.
Steph
I think Dave is perfect for what I need. I don’t even remember the guy who stood me up. 😜
Kylie
That’s my girl! Text me tomorrow with deets.
Kylie
You still there? Just realized that you’re going to a total stranger’s house.
Kylie
Gimme his address so I know where you’re at? Just in case?
Kylie
Okay, so I’m getting just a little worried. Let me know you’re okay pls.
Steph
Sorry. Jason showed up. I’m heading to his place now.
Kylie
WAIT WHAT? Did you seriously blow Dave off for Jason?
Steph
There was this…spark when Jason walked in.
Steph
And he had a really good reason for being late that I’ll tell you about tomorrow.
Kylie
Unless he ran into a burning building to rescue twelve orphans…
Steph
Coffee at ten! Talk later!
Kylie
No talk now! Steph! Damn it…
