Short Story

Blind dates
It has been a while since I have been into a date, my friend Bianca introduced me to this app they find you a date. But no pictures, you formulate the picture of your date using the information provided. Then you can arrange a date – blind date. Bianca as usual dared me to go to at least 5 dates after bidding myself down from the thousand dates she wanted me to go to. Apparently, I am lonely hence the need of her finding me a date. To be honest I enjoy my own space and being by myself. Although I must admit I am a bit picky or maybe too picky, to my defense I like my things in a particular way if that makes me picky then whatever. I have not been lucky when it comes to love, I guess I am a hopeless romantic. Oh, by the way I am Yolanda, and this is me sharing the stories of my dates.
