Ben from Hinge

My therapist told me I needed to go on a date during our session on Tuesday afternoon, and that night, a 6’4” 27 year-old Jewish boy named Ben who went to Princeton commented “uh oh” on my first Hinge profile picture, and I was embarrassingly excited. His first prompt was about how he hit his neighbor’s mailbox during his driver’s test, and when I read it I let out an exasperated breath of air through my nostrils. He was gorgeous too: green eyes, curly hair—there was even a picture of him holding a dog (a good sign for sure) and another in a floral denim jacket (not afraid of femininity). I fist pumped in my mind as we bantered back and forth.

Hinge

Uh oh is right hi Ben

FYI I failed my drivers test the first

time but that was because a

homeless man ran into the street and

I yelped

No mailbox but maybe equally

devastating?

I’ll have to check with the officials - but that feels worthy of a drink

What isn’t there is that I failed

my driver’s test a second time bc I hit a snowban…
