The man raised his arm nonchalantly and rolled up his sleeves to reveal a luxury watch. "It's been forty minutes past the designated talready? I'm sorry, Miss Annie. | didn't realize that twould pass so quickly." He chuckled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnie had given up any hope of having a meaningful conversation with that blind date. She was trying to cup with a polite excuse to leave when the man adjusted his thick glasses and said with a grin, "Never mind that.
We've finally met, so let's not sweat the small stuff. It's a pleasure meeting you, Miss Annie. Please allowto introduce myself." ‘Let's not sweat the small stuff, huh? Hello! You've been more than forty minutes late, sir! How could you act like it's not a big deal?’ Annie chided in her heart.
The man proceeded to introduce himself confidently, "My nis Gibby Zender. I'm a twenty-eight-year-old graduate of WEX University, the top university in Molomia. I'm one hundred eighty centimeters tall, and | weigh one hundred eighty kilograms." Annie glanced at him again. He had already sat down when she saw him, so she was unable to confirm his height. However, his round face belied his weight, and she could tell that it was certainly more than 180 kilograms.
"Hi, my nis Annie," Annie responded with a faint, awkward smile." There's no need to be lengthy, so I'll just cut to the chase and skip the introductions. | don't think we're a good match for each other." Gibby seemed puzzled when he heard that. "What's wrong? Why did you jump to such a conclusion so quickly? | have a very good impression of you so far, especially your good looks! You might be a little older than | expected, but your beauty is more than enough forto look past that! You stand at about one hundred sixty-five centimeters, right? It fits my requirements just nicely." Annie was taken aback to hear the man being so nitpicky about her many different aspects. 'He can't be serious! What did he mean when he said that I'm a little older than him? I'm only two years younger than him! Where did he get the nerve to callold?" "Didn’t you say you're twenty-eight?" Gibby nodded confidently. "Indeed, | am. My friends and family all regardas a young and promising man. | always tell them not to praiseso much. | wouldn't want to end up being too proud of myself! Haha!" 'Proud of yourself? What's there to be proud of? What part of being bald, having poor eyesight, and being overweight is worth being proud of?' Annie snickered to herself.

Don't you think it's a little odd?" Gibby shook his head and said sternly, "You're a woman, so it's not right to compare yourself to US men. We're both adults, so | won't beat around the bush. We need to view this blind date from a realistic perspective. You're already twenty-six, and you're not very highly educated either. There's not much of a future for you, especially when you're working as a clerk.
Til give you credit for taking good care of your good looks, but being pretty isn't going to put food on your table.
In the end, you're still going to rely on a man to support you in the future. Forgivefor being harsh, but a woman's value diminishes after she turns twenty-five. This is a reality you must accept. You're lucky that someone promising likecan still tolerate your age," said Gibby.
