Sarah’s Coffee Date
Sarah had been crushing on her neighbor Alex, for months. She would always try to find excuses to bump into him in the hallway, at the coffee shop, or at his work.
One day Sarah saw him in their local coffee shop and thought about approaching him. He was always there, sitting in the corner, reading a book, or working on his laptop.
She admired his intelligence and his good looks from afar and had built up a fantasy of what he might be like. She finally mustered up the courage to talk to him, only to find out that he was actually quite rude and dismissive.
It was a huge disappointment, but she realized that sometimes the person we create in our heads is very different from reality.
