Single on date night

I went to grab some bread and apples and kale at the grocery store this afternoon. That's when I noticed him. 

He was standing at the entrance of the store with a small bouquet of pink carnations in his hand. He looked nervous. He kept scanning the parking lot looking for someone. Then I realized it was Friday and 'date night'. I assumed that this was a first date scenario. 

I smiled, excited for this stranger. Maybe he was about to meet his soul mate. 

Then my smile faded. 

I have no date tonight. I haven't been on a date in almost 18 years. I don't even know date protocol anymore. 

But one thing is for certain. Whenever I do get to dating, sink or swim -- I'm ready. I look forward to experiencing firsts again -- first kisses, first dances, first glances. I might even get lucky and find my soul mate!
