  1. going on my first blind date ever, and having it not be a terrible experience.
  2. friends who check up on you to make sure you’re not dead while on the blind date.
  3. elaborate escape plans in case the date isn’t going well.
  4. friends who invite you over to hear how the date went, and while they are listening, they also make you a sandwich.
  5. meeting new people, even if there aren’t really any sparks.
