A woman in a blue shirt is paying with a credit card at a table, possibly after a horrible first date.
Towards the end he said “ let’s split the bill so I know if you really like me or if this was just a free meal for you” I payed the whole bill, quietly called an uber and left him there.

A couple on a first date, captured through a window, showing slight tension or reflection. This scene could be a character-building trauma.
He wouldn't talk to me, at all. I asked multiple things and the answers i got were head shakes and "Mhm". After a while, i got tired and told him "If you don't talk to me there's no point in being here" in an awkward tone. He got up and went to the bathroom, 5 minutes later he comes back, eyes red, and tells me that what i said made him cry.

twenty minutes into a date asked me "why do you smile so much?" in a near disgusted tone. It was in fact because the weather was nice, and I try to enjoy my life. hard to imagine somehow.
