It was about 15 years ago. The guy invited me to a date in the center of Riga and, leading me in circles, brought me to a popular restaurant, which usually did not get enough places. But it so happened that on that day I was already dining there with a business client, and we were served by the same waitress who greeted me with the phrase "And again hello, did you like it here?".
The guy in a misunderstanding looks at me, and I reply that I had lunch here a few hours ago. Probably, it was not worth it to say, because he changed at the same moment - he took the vodka, drank it and began to sob and reproach me that I ruined the whole surprise. I felt like a bad movie - there are happy couples sitting around, and opposite me is a sobbing drunk guy. It was our last date...
