Annie
I am convinced dating was created by an evil villain to torture humanity.
Dramatic? Not in the least. For introverts like me with social anxiety, the
process of dating is equivalent to waxing your bikini line. Menstrual cramps
on day two of your cycle. An emergency dental procedure you weren’t
expecting—and guess what: they’re fresh out of novocaine.
“Again, I’m so sorry about the beer,” I say to the man sitting across from
me.
“It’s fine,” he says in a clipped way that means it’s absolutely not fine.
This is not going well. Not that it has ever gone well for me in the past,
but this time it really isn’t. I think turning a man off in the first ten minutes of
a date is my new record. Because John, the man sitting across from me with a
sopping-wet, beer-stained polo and khakis from the drink I accidentally
knocked across the table onto his lap, looks ready to bolt. Can’t blame him.
Why did I think I could do this? It’s been years since I dated, and even
back then I never liked it much. I’m a person who avoids attention at all
costs. Who can’t think of a single thing to say when a man sitting across from
her is intently staring at her.
Again, I ask myself, Why are you here, Annie?!
Oh right. It was the brownie. Well, first it was the realization that even
after opening the flower shop my mom had always dreamed of, the nagging
something-is-missing feeling still pesters me. So I decided it’s time to put a
plan in motion to settle down with my perfect someone—because that’s the
only box left unchecked in my life. And since I’ve been drooling over John
(the man my sisters and I always refer to as Hot Bank Teller), I thought he
might be the perfect candidate for the job.
The job in question has very strict criteria based on the bursting-withlove marriage my parents had. One, he must live in town and have roots here
in Rome, Kentucky; two, he must have a stable job; three, he must be kind
and also be supportive of my career; and four, he must want a family.
Those are the only things that matter to me.
So the last time I went to the bank to deposit a check, I used up my Oncea-Year Extroverted Moment and asked him if he’d like to go out sometime.
He miraculously said yes, and I spent the next week recuperating from the
stress and anxiety I suffered in asking.
