"No Mom, he seems like a creep."

"All right, what about this one?" She showed me another profile on the phone's screen.

"Gosh, prefers 'pizza over burgers'?! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!"

"No, he's a two timed divorcee. I don't want to increase that to three."

"I'm a good man with bad habits?", I read that loud and looked at Mom.

"HELL NAH!" We both screamed.

"Okay, what about this one? He seemed the best to me."

She clicked on another profile and the picture of a handsome man wearing a brown coat flashed on the screen.

"Who is he...?" I muttered as I read his bio.

"His name is Jeon Jungkook and he's forty years old. Good thing is that he's not a divorcee, doesn't look like a creep and his profile has got manners. I like this one for you."

I laughed at her "manners" part.

"Hey, don't laugh. I don't know how but the profile seems well behaved an—"

I was laughing harder now.

"Yah! Okay, just laugh I'm goin—"

"Okay okay sorry sorry sorry! Tell me about this well mannered profile man." I said as I tried to control my laughter.

"I swiped right on him and surprisingly, you two matched. I've fixed the date for tomorrow. Dress well honey."

"WHAT?!!!"

"Yes. Don't panic and don't look that clueless. It's just a date, try him out."

"MOM WE DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM!! AND WHEN DID YOU FIX THE DATE?! PLUS, HE'S TEN YEARS OLDER!"

She raised an eyebrow at my horrified face and spoke with sass dripping down her words.

"There's no one on a dating app that you know. Of course you meet strangers there. I set it up when you had gone out. I was so relieved when you came back and said you wanted to listen to me otherwise I thought I'd have to drag you out of the house to meet him.'

"But Mom, he hasn't mentioned much about himself! What if he's fake? What if he's a predator in disguise?"

"You're thirty years old my daughter, you can take care of yourself. As far as his age is concerned, from when did you start caring about the numbers? It's just a date. He doesn't look that old, infact, younger! I doubt he's actually forty. Plus, the location is a busy one so other people will be there. It's safe. Call the police if any problem arises." She said and shrugged.

"You're a very daring woman, I must tell you that." I said as I gaped at her in disbelief.

"And my daughter is a scaredy skirt, I must say." With that, she rolled her eyes.
