This Date Is Going Down in Flames — Can You Save It?
🕯️ Love & Friendship⏱ 2 min7 questions
Two people who genuinely like each other are about to ruin a perfectly good evening, and only you can stop them. The reservation was hard to get, the outfits took hours, and the conversation has just wandered into slightly dangerous territory. It is going fine. It will not stay that way.
Your job is the save. Seven cringe moments are coming, an overshare, a spilled drink, an ex sighting, a bill nobody budgeted for, and each one has a graceful exit plus three ways to make it worse. Choose well and there is a second date. Choose badly and there is a check, please.
