I sit at the back of the cab feeling so jittery. I'm excited at the idea of meeting someone new. Yet I am feeling so fucking scared, too. I'm not really sure if I'm ready for all of this. What if he turns out to be a really great guy? I don't want to fuck him up. I'm a complete wreck - and like I said, I'm like a catalyst for turning things into complete disaster. I don't want to ruin this dude's life by getting into a relationship with someone as screwed as I am.

Shit, Charlie. This is the first time you're seeing this guy. Get your fucking ducks in a row.

I close my eyes and grip my phone tight in my hand. I can do this. I am stronger than I think I am, Levi told me so

My phone buzzed, pulling me out of my incongruent thoughts. I read another message from my mystery date.

Oh. Alright. I know I should feel disappointed. But somehow, I'm actually feeling quite relieved. I mean, I'm feeling exactly the same as this guy does. Though this might be an indication of something more troubling, like way deeper within the surface. 

I read through EVIL.Genius' message again. I could only guess he just came from a really  bad break-up? Guys are never this emotional, especially during first dates. Fuck. I hope I won't mess up his head and heart even more. My nonexistent conscience would't be able to take destroying a poor soul.

I start to type for a reply and just decide to be truthful, just like he was with me. That's the best thing to do, anyway.
