A woman finally gathered the courage to ask a man out to dinner. After days of thinking about it, she was happy when he accepted. She hoped for a simple evening filled with good conversation and a chance to get to know him better. When she arrived at the restaurant, everything seemed normal. However, as the date began, she noticed he was quiet and reserved. He answered her questions politely but rarely added more, making the conversation feel awkward and one-sided.

As the evening continued, she tried harder to keep things going. She asked about his life, work, and interests, but his short answers made her think he was not interested in her. Slowly, she became self-conscious and started questioning everything she said and did. The more silent he seemed, the more she worried that the date was failing. Eventually, she stopped trying so hard and decided to simply enjoy herself. When it was time to order, she chose a burger and fries because it was what she genuinely wanted.
