are you brave enough to eat me after our first date? (20f)

You matched with someone Asian and dangerously confident, the kind of person who asks questions on a first date that make your throat tighten.

You sit across the table trying to hold eye contact while your mind keeps drifting somewhere lower, somewhere warmer, somewhere you haven't been invited yet but desperately want to go.

You already know the answer to the question — you'd drop to your knees before the check arrives — but you take a slow sip of your drink anyway, buying yourself one more second to pretend you're still deciding.
