    As planned She stood by the corner window of Ruby’s. There was He, trying to cross the road, every bit the geek the profile had made him out to be. It was her lot, to be attracted to geeks. The last three hadn’t worked out. Maybe this time? Taller, darker, even geekier than the usual attraction, She watched as He drew closer.

    He was ready. A single yellow rose and a solitary hand-made chocolate. A man of style – geekily. Brownie points for choosing Ruby’s, brownie points for the subtle offerings. Here goes.

    He orders the cantaloupe and parmesan flan. She opts for the kale and coconut salad with a side of olives. They share the olives. He orders a rose wine. More brownies. He asks all the right questions, then listens. She asks and receives quick and bright responses. There is no hesitation. There are things shared and things upon which they differed, but not disturbingly so. They agree to another meeting.

    He offers to see her home, but it’s just around the corner so she politely declines for this occasion. Best keep that under wraps for now. Who knows what will happen next time. As she enters her door, the phone buzzes with a text. It is He, saying what a lovely evening and that although it was a surprise, being with a transvestite didn’t bother him and how much the next meal was anticipated.

    She had sweet, geeky dreams that night.

    Their first date was when she was younger, tagging along with her older sister. Since that day she has compared every boy she’s ever been out with to him. He has no idea she considered it a date. She is just the younger sister of his best friend’s girlfriend.
