I once went out with this woman named Robyn, who I met through our mutual friend cindy. I took Robyn out for a nice dinner so we could get to know each other better. At first, things were going great. She was beautiful, funny, and sweet.

The conversation stayed lighthearted and fun until I asked her about her work. That's when the mood of the evening took a drastic turn for the worse. She proceeded to tell me about her boss, who was also her ex-boyfriend. They had broken up two months ago and I got to hear all the details. As we sat there in the resturant, she balled her eyes out telling me about how much she still loved him and how she just couldn't move on with her life without him.

I tryed to be understanding, but this was just too much for me. After dinner I took her home, called Cindy, and waited with Robyn until Cindy got there. I couldn't leave her alone, but I couldn't stay with her either. When Cindy got there, I headed home. Needless to say, I didn't go out with Robyn again.
