Pata hai aaj kya hua? I am searching for a life-partner and posted my details on a match-making subreddit on Sunday. Got several DMs by yesterday, and one of them was from a woman from Rajasthan who was just visiting my city in Gujarat.

She messaged me Monday morning that she was in my city for work and told me everything about her. Silly me decided to take a look at the messages only after I was finished with work in the evening. I told her that we can meet and I can show her around, take her out for a coffee or something. She was initially hesitant and said no, as she felt was not fresh enough due to her work, and she was leaving in a train soon.

I told her that it's fine, she could have met me casually but wished her a happy journey back home. She then texted me she still had 1.5 hours left and we could meet at the railway station, to which I agreed. On my way, she texted me asking was I coming for real? I said yeah, and I was super upbeat. Feeling a dopamine rush.

I told her to wait for me at the exit-side of the gate, as there's usually lesser crowd over there and it's easier to park there and wait for someone. As soon as I reached, I texted her that I was there. And while I was going to take a picture to send her where I was, her cab arrived, and she waved at me from the car before it even stopped. She recognised me without knowing my face, my car, or anything 😄 

I took her bag and other stuff and put it in the rear seat of my car. As soon as she stepped in, she complimented my car. I don't remember the exact words, but she said it looked great, and she asked me which was the model? I said VW Virtus. Then she said the colour also looks so nice, which really surprised me! It's Curucuma Yellow (golden), and most of my friends dislike it strongly. I'm not a big fan either, but it looks gorgeous if seen in the correct lighting, especially when it's raining like it was tonight. She asked me, was it your choice? I said, no, the car and its configurations were my choice, the colour was my dad's. And thanked her for the compliments. She loved the interior, too!

A woman I was dating until recently had also complimented my car, and she was my first date who loved colour, too. But damn, the way the woman from Reddit I met tonight expressed the love for my car was on another level still makes me feel so happy in a different way 🥰

She had only about 45-50 minutes, and she was really hungry. She hadn't had dinner, she said, and later I learned she actually didn't have anything all day. There were a few good eateries around, but parking was unavailable. I took her to a popular fast-food place about 1 km from the railway station, and while I was searching for a parking spot there, she saw a Subway ahead and said let's go there. So we went there, got a sub packed for her. She wanted to eat it there but I said pack it, let's go get some ice cream and then you can eat the sub in the train.

Then we went to my favourite ice place, which was just a minute away and on the route back. Like me, she went for a soft serve, which is the most popular pick over there and my favourite. We spent some 15-20 minutes there. The ice cream cone was too big, and while I barely managed to finish it in a rush, she couldn't. While she was still having it, we drove back to the railway station. I wanted to go drop her to her platform, but there wasn't much time for me to park the car and then go get a platform ticket from another place. So I just dropped her near the escalator, hugged her, clicked a selfie with her, and bid her goodbye.

She's an extremely talented, accomplished woman, and looks cute, too. Yet, very composed and down-to-earth, really humble. She's a little shy, which makes her seem even cuter I guess. I'm often told I'm way too nice with people, and I sensed that she's the same. Wish I had gotten more time with her, but am grateful even for the mini-date my fate had for me😊 

Had my first Reddit date😙
