Two Tales From My Sister's Dating Wars

Guy 1:

She casually dated a man, in college I think, so they were apart during holidays, etc. and, one time, he called her and said, hand to god:

I miss you every OTHER day.

It’s like: Well, I guess I’ll speak with you in a couple days.

Unreal but true.

Guy 2:

She met a man who worked in the same office building she did - saw entering, exiting, elevators, etc. - and one day he asked her to lunch, telling her he knew of a great little French restaurant.

About my sister: She’s not someone who cares about being taken to someplace fancy for dinner. She'd like it, but it’s not a deal breaker, basically. So now this, not just lunch, but a workday lunch when they can find time, NO ONE expects anything, so she was taken aback by the choice of restaurant and looked forward to it.

So, lunchtime comes and they’re walking down the sidewalk, talking, getting along really well, when the man suddenly stops and says “Here we are.”

And there, standing before her was the French restaurant:

Au Bon Pain.

It makes you wonder if he would have called McDonald’s a cozy Scottish place.

All true. Unreal but true.
