Left Standing

Okay, so two years ago, I was hanging out with some friends when I jokingly remarked “I need a boyfriend.” My friend Mary commented that a friend of her boyfriend’s was looking. So I reluctantly agreed to a blind date with him that Valentine’s day. We met at the local mall–Mary, her boyfriend Jake,  and his friend–my date–Mike. As well as several of Mike’s friends, for  who knows what reason. Anyway, we went to the arcade and played DDR and various games for a while. I’m in the middle of a round of DDR with Mary. When I get done, I look around. Jake is still there but Mike and all his friends had left. Jake had to admit to us that Mike couldn’t stand me, so he and his friends had bailed. The rest of the day was obviously shot. I was miserable.
