My brother set me up with his friend, John, a few weeks ago. He told me John was a great guy, with a house, a car, and a decent job. My brother wouldn’t stop praising him, painting a picture of the perfect gentleman who seemed to have his life all sorted out. I was intrigued by the idea and, after some persuasion, I agreed to a date.
John picked me up one evening, and we headed to a fancy restaurant in the city. I had never been to such a restaurant in my life; the place oozed luxury and sophistication. The ambiance was mesmerizing, with soft lighting, elegant décor, and a live pianist playing soothing melodies. It felt like a scene straight out of a movie.
