We went to a nice seafood restaurant in Tribeca. The chef loves me there because I eat everything--so the desserts are always on the house. The evening was going well and we were learning about each other. By the time we were done with the appetizers, her phone rang. Now, I know that it's rude to listen in on people's conversations but she said, "I'm with my boyfriend now. Gotta go." Boyfriend? I mean, I must've missed that email because I thought we were on our first date!

So when she got off the phone, I jokingly asked her, "So, we're already going steady?" Unphased, she answered, "Ya, anything wrong with that? Oh, by the way, we're going to an all Valentine's dinner on Valentine's Day with my friends and their boyfriends and fiancés. I've already set it up for us. All my friends can't wait to meet you. One of my cousins is going to be there, too." I saw that she had already taken the job of my PDA. I was trying not to react badly. "But Kaitlin, I have some other plans..."

"What?!" she freaked out. "I thought we hit it off really well the other day. I thought you were really interested in me." Her voice was getting a little bit louder than normal. She took a breath and said, "I had plans for us, you know?" "Um... plans? What sort of plans?" I was just trying to contain the situation at this point. I felt bad but it seemed to me like she had plans for the rest of my life. I lost my appetite and didn't even finish my baked salmon. Maybe she had too much wine? I don't know. Maybe my luck is really that bad with the ladies now. It's kinda daunting for a guy like me when I'm not even fully back into the dating scene and there's already "plans." Ya know what I mean?
