First-Date Customer Satisfaction Survey

Congratulations! You’ve been selected to participate in a first-date customer satisfaction survey. It’s been 47 minutes since we parted ways. You should probably be home by now—that is unless you took the G train, which I heard is running with delays. Nope? You took an Uber? Great, let’s get started.

    1)  My skin is so smooth and completely devoid of hair. The $2,500 I spent on laser hair removal was totally worth it.

    2)  About my cat: You mentioned that you were slightly allergic to cats. You would never ever ask me to get rid of him, even though he and I share a pillow.

    3)  I know we said that neither of us is the type to play games, but when you took 22 minutes to respond to my text yesterday, that was because I waited 19 minutes to respond to yours.

    4)  Remember when I scooted the barstool on the floor and it made that noise? You knew that wasn’t a fart.

     5)  I noticed your phone lit up multiple times with calls from an unsaved number. That was Duane Reade calling to say your prescription was ready for pick up, and not someone else from a different dating app.
