Chapter 1:

The date was not going well. Laura knew that things would never go anywhere with Ralph within 5 minutes of meeting him. Maybe it was within the first 5 seconds, but she had to at least give him the benefit of the doubt. If asked to explain why, she couldn’t give a solid answer beyond that there was just no chemistry.

However as she observed him and thought about why she never wanted to see him again, his self depreciating comments stood out as one answer. Just, little jokes he made at his own expense. He joked about how clumsy he was, and about how he barely knew how to use his smart phone.

Bachelor’s degree in economics, with a minor in gender studies. He worked as a budget analyst for a large company. He had to be more competent than he’d let on. It was his self denigration that really stuck
