Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Is longevity a marker for quality? If so why would the readers of the National Review consider the New York Times, (having been published since 1851), trash?
No, not at all. Many readers of the National Review look forward to the day that the New York Times goes out of business.
