What was your memorable first date and why? (Whether it was good or bad!)

I went on a first date at a board game cafe some time ago. I am not big on board games but he was. We played several games and stayed until the place closed.

I just remember him being so articulate and patient as he was explaining the rules and strategies of the games. I was beyond impressed by his character and found his idiosyncrasies endearing. We also didn’t really have small talk; our convo focused on the games and went off on a tangent—topics that normally wouldn’t come up in a typical coffee date setting. I don’t think I would have seen this side of him in a non-board game setting. I have such fond memories of this date, and of him.

And even though things didn’t work out, I’m sure he’s doing well 🥲
