Once Upon a Time.... There was a Beard & a Ninja

Once upon a time...
​I received a peculiar text message, a couple of days after Silvio and I went on our first (and last) date.
​

Silvio: "Do you want to do an experiment?"
Me: "…excuse me?"

Silvio: “…Let’s describe our 1st meeting to each other. Good and bad things, sticking to the reality of our experience from our own point of view...then we’ll send it to each other at the same time. I believe it will teach us something. So no rules, we just start writing and after 30 minutes we send it to each other. What do you think? I think it will be funny.”

My initial reaction was a very loud 'What?!', and yes, of course I was sitting in a crowded coffee place. I know my dating history is a bit odd to begin with, but this was definitely a first- written feedback by a guy I only met once? Why would I participate?! But on the other hand- what did I have to lose? He’s a nice guy and it was a fun date, I could see us becoming friends rather than continuing to date, so...why not? Plus I apparently love an unexpected writing challenge (...this was another first). It could be confronting, but no rules = no rules, so I nervously accepted this slightly strange ‘post-first-date-feedback-writing-challenge’ and we started writing. 30 minutes later he counted down and at the same time we hit ‘send’.
