RE: THE DATE

in The Ink Welllast month (edited)

What a tricky position to find yourself in! I can just imagine your anxiety, but how kind of her to pay the bill. Did you end up seeing her again?

Thank you for sharing this enjoyable story from your life. While we do not relish your pain during the evening, you told the story well, although you could have used more dialogue since you were out on a date. We don't actually get to discover much about either of you or how you felt about each other. I would have expected to have seen more body language and flirtatious behaviour or language. Also watch out for those silly little spelling and punctuation errors that can creep in and remain if you don't edit your pieces before publication. As an aside, I don't think it was necessary to use curse words in your story. In fact I feel as though it detracts from the piece and was quite jarring when I came across it as it felt out of context given the voice being used.
