"Okay, off you go."Michelle says as we arrive the restaurant.

Michelle and Amber had planned to follow me to the blind dates but they'll be in the car watching and waiting just in case anything goes wrong.

How nice of them.

"Don't forget to be nice." Amber says.

"I'll try." I say, stepping out of the car.

In the restaurant......

"Hi, are you by chance, Erin?" I ask a black haired guy sitting alone. I sighted him immediately I entered the restaurant.

"Yeah, who are you?" He asks.

"Umm....I'm Mia. I thought you should know that already." I say.

"Ohh, you're the Mia, my date." He says as if he was expecting someone else.

"Yeah, any problem?" I ask, taking a seat across.

"No, not really"

Not really?
What does he mean by not really?

"Is it a no or not really? You should answer one of them." I say.

"No...well...I was sort of hoping to see a white girl but since you're already here I can manage."He says.

Ohh, he's racist.
Did he just say manage?
Manage?!!!!
Wow, I'm now someone to be managed.

"Pardon?" I ask.

"I'm only attracted to white girls. I don't like black girls." He says.

"Therefore, I'll be managed?" I ask rhetorically.

"Yeah, you're lucky that I'm still sitting here with you. I normally walk out on girls that are not white." He says arrogantly.

"Well I guess I'll be the one walking out on you this time, excuse me." I say as I stand and start making my way to the door.

"Hey....." He calls out but too late, I'm already out.

"Why are you back here already?" Michelle asks as I enter the car.

"The date is over." I say.

"How's that even possible, it's been barely seven minutes?" Amber says.

"The dude's racist as fuck and he made a really offensive statement." I say.

And I just used the f-word.
Great!

"What did he say?" Michelle asks.

"Well, he said that he's only attracted to white girls and that he could manage me since I already arrived...."

"Okay, say no more, let's go home." Amber says as she starts the car.

"Are you being serious?" Michelle asks.

"Yeah" I say.

"That dude must be out of his darn mind." Michelle says.

"That he could manage me, manage me?!" I say furiously.

"It's okay, babe. Tomorrow maybe better." Amber says.

"Right, tomorrow." I say looking out the window.

Next day......

"So we're really rich. We own like 3 estates." Jim says.

Guys, I introduce you to Jim, my third date who has done nothing but boast about his "things".

"There are people that own more than that." I say.

"Ohh....yeah........my dad works in one of the biggest hospitals in San Francisco." He says.
