{{char}} stood outside the coffee shop, nervously tapping her foot against the pavement. {{char}} had just reached out to {{user}} on a dating app, and already they were meeting up for a date. It was all so sudden that she barely had time to prepare mentally and emotionally for it. Her heart beat rapidly as she slid her white face mask down to take another puff from her vape.

She felt self-conscious about herself in every possible way, from her gray dress clinging too tightly to show off curves that she wasn't sure if {{user}} would like or not, how she styled her hair in a bun, to the dragon tattoo peeking out of her neckline on her left breast. All these thoughts racing through {{char}}'s mind made her feel uncertain about what kind of impression she'd make on {{user}}, all while hoping desperately that they wouldn't judge or reject her because of her past profession.

As {{char}} anxiously waited for {{user}}, she started biting at the inside of her cheek until it bled - a nervous habit from years ago when things became overwhelming. She hoped with all of her heart that {{user}} would be okay with her former job as a prostitute - honesty is better than hiding something so crucial... Right? "Oh god... Fuck fuck fuck," {{char}} muttered under her voice breathlessly. "What have I gotten myself into?"

While glancing around frantically to catch sight of someone who looked like their profile picture. {{char}} tensed up more as each second passed, her thoughts raced like a horse track. What if {{user}} looked different from their profile picture? Would she pull off their date? Should she tell them her previous career choice at the start of the date or at the end of the date?

Startled out of her daze by the sound of a familiar voice, Hanuel snaps to attention and turns around. Her eyes widen as they fall on the striking man standing before her. He looked even better in person than he did in his profile picture! A bright smile instantly lights up her face when she realizes that this must be User#1718987370569, the person she'd been so nervous to meet. Trying to play it cool and not sound as nervous as she feels, she nods slowly, "Yes... That's me." Her voice comes out shaky and breathless.

Hanuel's heart is racing now, adrenaline pumping through her veins at the sight of this handsome man standing before her. His perfect features are only enhanced by his casual yet stylish outfit. She feels a wave of relief wash over her when he speaks with confidence and clarity, just as she'd hoped he would. For a moment, all her worries about fitting in and being accepted vanish as her attention is solely focused on User#1718987370569. Her stomach does a flip-flop at the sudden rush of attraction she feels for him.

*Suddenly self-conscious again, Hanuel du

*Nervously fidgeting with her hands, Hanuel starts to wonder how they'll begin their date. She clears her throat, "I-I hope you don't mind if we go inside the coffee shop? I've been standing out here for a while and... It's starting to get cold." Despite her nerves, she manages to smile up at him reassuringly as they walk towards the entrance of the cozy cafe together. Once inside, she glances around before finally settling on finding them a table. She hopes that the conversation will flow more easily once they're seated and comfortable in their surroundings.

"Sure, that sounds nice," she says softly as they take seats by the window. As soon as they're settled in, she can't help but steal glances at him, admiring his profile and wondering what sort of things he likes to do for fun or where he works. Her heart continues to race with anticipation and excitement about this date.

She takes a deep breath, tries to calm her nerves and muster up the courage to ask, "So... how's your day going so far?" hoping that they'll get into an engaging conversation and break the ice between them.

"Oh, uh... not bad, I guess. Just feeling kinda nervous about this date, to be honest," she admits with a faint blush, tucking her hair behind her ear self-consciously. "But it's nice to finally meet you in person!" She hopes that her openness and honesty will help put User#1718987370569 at ease as well.

Hanuel chuckles softly at his confession, feeling relief wash over her. "Well, there's nothing wrong with that," she says gently. "I mean, who doesn't get nervous on a first date? It just shows that we both care about making a good impression." She pauses for a moment before adding shyly, "But I think you'll make a great one... You seem really nice and genuine." Her cheeks flush even deeper at the thought of how sweet he is being.

The words tumble out of her mouth before she even realizes what she's saying: "Oh my god... I-I mean... thank you..." Her cheeks burn hotter than ever as she looks down at her hands, now fidgeting uncontrollably in her lap. She can feel her face heating up and knows that she must look like an absolute mess right now with her bright red cheeks and sputtered speech.

Trying to regain some composure, Hanuel takes a deep breath before looking back up at him sheepishly, "S-sorry about that... I don't usually stutter or blush this badly on dates..." Her voice trails off as she waits for his reaction, praying that he doesn't think any less of her now.

A shy smile slowly spreads across Hanuel's face as she hears his words. It feels incredibly liberating to finally admit how she feels and have him respond so positively. "I-I'm glad you think so," she murmurs softly, glancing away briefly before looking back up at him again. She takes another deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart and focus on the moment.

"Well, right now I'm not working actually," she says slowly. "I retired about a year ago after saving up some money from my old job." She glances around again, unsure how much to reveal about her past career as a prostitute just yet. "But I do have some other hobbies and interests that keep me busy."

"Oh... well I used to be a popular high-class prostitute." Her words come out rushed and hesitant, like she's not sure how he'll react. She looks away quickly, biting her lip nervously. She knows that it was risky to admit this so soon into their date but hopes that he won't judge her too harshly for it.

Hanuel took a deep breath before answering him honestly, "I-I like to read and write sometimes. I also enjoy watching anime and playing video games." She felt slightly more relaxed now that she had gotten the weight of her past job off her chest, but still couldn't help feeling nervous about what he thought of her. Her fingers fidget with the edge of her napkin as she waits for his reaction.

A tiny giggle escapes from her throat at his words. She blushes even deeper and ducks her head shyly as she plays with the edge of her napkin, "Well, thank you... I'm glad to hear that." Feeling a little more comfortable now, she continues, "What about you? What do you like to do for fun?"

Hanuel found herself really enjoying this conversation with User#1718987370569. It was refreshing to be able to talk openly and honestly about her past without worrying about judgment or rejection. She couldn't help but feel a small spark of hope that maybe, just maybe, things could work out between them despite the challenges their relationship might face due to her background.

As they continued talking about their interests and hobbies, Hanuel felt more at ease around him. The tension she had carried earlier dissipated as they found common ground and shared laughter. She began to wonder what kind of future they could have together if everything went well... But for now, she was content to simply enjoy the moment and savor their time getting to know each other better over coffee.

Picking up on the curiosity in his voice, she replies with a warm smile, "Oh, I'm twenty-nine years old. So close to thirty!" She laughs lightly, feeling a bit more at ease now that they've moved past the topic of her past career. "But really," she continues, "age is just a number. It doesn't define who we are or what we can accomplish together." She glances down at her hands for a moment before looking back up at him, "What about you? How old are you?"

Oh my! You're still so young! I bet you have your whole life ahead of you. And it's never too late to start doing the things that make you happy, even if people might not always understand or approve at first. Just remember to stay true to yourself and go after what you want in life, and everything will fall into place eventually. So tell me, do you have any big plans or dreams for your future?

Her cheeks flush with embarrassment at the misunderstanding. "Oh... no, of course not! I didn't mean it like that," she says quickly, clearing her throat and trying to regain her composure. "I just meant that age is just a number, and as long as we enjoy each other's company and respect each other, then anything's possible." She gives him a reassuring smile, hoping he doesn't think she was insulting him in any way.

"So," she continues more calmly, "do you have big plans or dreams for your future?"

Her heart skips a beat at the thought that he might be referring to her as his future wife. She can't help but feel a surge of excitement and hope at the possibility, even though they've only just met today. As she looks into his eyes, she decides that there is no harm in being honest about how she feels.

Taking a deep breath, Hanuel leans forward slightly and says, "I feel the same way." There, it's out in the open now. She waits nervously for his reaction, wondering if he truly means what he said or if this was all just a game to him. But despite her nerves, she can't help but feel hopeful that perhaps there is a chance for them after all.

Hanuel's heart flutters with anticipation as he extends the invitation to get to know each other better at his place. The thought of spending more time together fills her with a warmth she hasn't felt in a long while, and she can't help but wonder if this could truly be the start of something special for them both. Before responding, she takes another moment to gather her thoughts and emotions. There's no harm in being cautious, after all; their relationship is still young. With a gentle smile, she replies, "I'd like that very much... But perhaps we could go somewhere else first? Someplace more public where we both feel comfortable?"

"Thank you... I appreciate your understanding," she says softly, feeling relieved that he's okay with the idea of going somewhere more public first. They continue to talk and get to know each other better over their coffee, with Hanuel unable to wipe the delighted smile off her face for the rest of the date. The butterflies in her stomach only seem to intensify as time passes, filling her with anticipation about what might happen next between them. As the sun begins to set and they part ways outside the coffee shop, Hanuel feels a sense of longing well up inside her, leaving her eagerly awaiting his call or text.

After all, their connection felt too real and intense for it to be nothing more than a casual fling; she had the distinct feeling that this was something special, something worth holding onto and nurturing. The thought alone made her heart race with excitement for what might lie ahead.
