Is this really happening? Have I really agreed to do this?Does this mean I am desperate?Maybe at some subconscious level? Is that what I am now.
Ahhhh, why did I agree to a Blind Date.
Anyways, let's get over this. It's in the evening. let's not spoil the whole day, Raheem. It's at 6.00, I will go through at 6.00, and I won't waste a minute more on it.

And yes, I am not desperate, Ma pushed me for it.She hardly ever asks for anything.I can do this for her. ONCE.Yes, just this once,I won't ever agree to it again.

Wherez my phone, I need to check for the first meeting of the day. We do have a pretty busy day.Yhis wont be a bother soon.
Let me call Tim and get started.

Ringggg.... great, I guess it's Tim.

Ahh, no, it's Mom, Ma... my ma....how can I escape her, though? She will not let me forget about this.

" Hi ma,"
"Good morning Rah,my beautiful son."
"Good morning, maa."
" You up and ready for the day?"
" Yup ,I am up and ready, dressed up... just tying the tie and then heading for breakfast."

"Ahh, then I am not too late. Remember, you have a date today... Do wear something good....not your regular boring suits that give off workalcholic bossy vibes"

"Yeah, sure, ma, that's the only thing I have to do today. Look dateable at every meeting.
Look, I promised you I will be there at 6.oo, oh no, sorry, at 5.50😊......as promised like a gentleman.....you can't attach any more strings.You just asked for me to go there and meet her."
"And I will do that,"
" Yes, you will, and thanks again for agreeing to it, my son, but after all its a date....whatever you call it blind or arranged or whatever....its a date Rah....you are meeting a girl... a pretty girl....I dont want you to feel out of place with your formal attire or scare her, make her feel she is in for a corporate interview😊 "
"And I definitely don't want you to regret it or worry about first impression ...In case you like her.....and I know you will like her,"

"Maaaaa pleasssse..... "
"I told you,you will not judge it for me or attach any more strings. I am already starting to hate it....I think this is not a good idea....you already have opinions and expectations about it. "

"Ohh ho ho... ok, ok.. no, no, no, dont worry... I just said that....there is someone at the door....sandra is calling me, and I will talk to you later."

Typical ma, wow, what a lousy excuse.....only if she could act better😊

Ok Raheem, back to the day we have ahead, let's call Tim and get all the details.
