The Blind Date

George is standing in the rain waiting for his date It is 1 hour later than

their meeting time but Sami hasn’t shown up yet The rain is getting

heavier and he is losing his temper “Is it possibly that she has stood me

up?” – George thinks

The story dates back to a wonderful day when George was surfing some

websites for “speed-dating services” to find a date He noticed Sami’s

profile “This girl sounds interesting.” – he thought, and he started to

chat her up He spent hours sitting at his desk on the computer whenever

she was online They talked to each other for about 2 months During that time, George had asked Sami out for a “real date” several times but he

was always turned down Though her refusals really brought him

down, he didn’t give up Finally, Sami agreed to go out with George

And today is their first “real date” George dressed up and waiting for

Sami She’s 1 hour… 2 hours late She doesn’t appear George walks

home in the heavy rain He is so sad “I will get over it” – he thought –

“and never have a blind date again.”
