Ironically, my first time publishing a story here was in the "First Time" category. This is really my first ever story so please don't bash me haha :) Admittedly, I didn't use an editor because I don't really know how to source for one here but I promise that the story is coherent and there would be no grammar mistakes that compromise the clarity and readability of it. On that note, I wrote this in Microsoft Word to use the basic proofreading so I hope that it is not excessively long because I initially intended for this to be much shorter but the story really took a life of its own. Enough of rambling, I hope you enjoy reading this and please leave any feedback in the comments!

My phone screen lit up and the Tinder logo caught my eye.
Instinctively, I glanced at my phone.
I received a match!
I was overjoyed -- I had been using all my swipes with barely any matches and I was determined to give this a shot. Opening the app, I went to check the profile of my match and my heart skipped a beat when I saw a voluptuous brunette with a heart-melting smile. Hopefully her personality matched her looks, I thought as my fingers started trembling in excitement.
Wow, now what do I say?
Hi?
or
Hello?
or
Please give me a chance because I'm super shy and have never had a girlfriend?
Nah, that might scare her away. Ok never mind, I'll reply later when I'm calmer.

Here I was in the subway feeling so nervous, my heart thumping in my chest trying to escape. Wearing a navy blue formal shirt and black pants, I'm hoping I'm not overdressed. The Irish Tavern? I've never even heard of this place before but my date suggested it so whatever, I'm not about to argue with Jacky.
Oh yes, I forgot to tell you about her!
Since Jacqueline matched with me 3 days ago, it has been amazing! We flirted with each other so much and she even gave me her number. Just last night we were texting till late, just chatting about all sorts of random topics from food to family, and by the end of it she even let me use her nickname 'Jacky'. I'm a sucker for someone with confidence -- and she really had me hooked. Enough about her personality, she just turned twenty but seemed mature for her age, both mentally and physically. By that I mean she had a perfectly rounded ass and generous breasts that were just the right size -- at least that's what I could gather from the racy pictures she teased me with. This really was like a dream, no, a fantasy come true, even though she was just a date.
As I was daydreaming about this, the train stopped at the next station and a crowd of people got on. A young couple were all over each other, grossly kissing and making out in the stuffy train, much to the dismay of those around -- although it turned me on by reminding me of Jacky. As I was about to look back at my phone, I saw a beautiful lady looking like she was headed to a club. Clad in a wine red figure-hugging dress and black heels, she had a killer body although her back faced me and I could not see her face. I smiled a little to myself, thinking about Jacky and how tonight was going to pan out.
*ting*
Jacky: heyyy um I'm 1 stop away what about you?
Jacky: do you wanna just meet at the station first?
Me: Sure thing!
I couldn't help smiling to myself as I stepped out the next station among the crowds pouring out headed to the city centre. She should be here soon I pondered as I sat down to text her.
Wait didn't she say she was 1 station away just now? That means we must have been on the same train!
Quickly, I glanced around but there were just too many young women who were, unfortunately, not my date. Amongst the crowd I saw the red dress lady rush towards the exit too. Just then, my phone buzzed.
Jacky: Hey, I'm at exit B wru?
Me: I'm just sitting at the platform chilling. Somewhere in the middle, around door 16 :)
Jacky: oh ok good, I was just about to exit. One sec, I'm coming over.
As I looked up, I saw several girls walking around, including the red dress lady. Hmm, she was pretty hot but that couldn't be her riβ Just then she turned and I saw the unmistakable face of Jacky!
Woah.
She was stunning, even hotter in real life than in her photos! Ok, she was a bit shorter than she looked in photos but with her high heels it was barely noticeable. The front of the wine-red dress caught me by surprise, with a plunging neckline and side cuts that exposed her tanned skin and showed off her ample breasts. Wow, how was I to keep my composure for the rest of the night? I was already enthralled by her at first sight and completely forgot I had been staring at her, rather indecently too.
"I'm sorry is everything alright? Am I dressed inappropriately?" she asked, breaking me out of my trance.
"No, no you're really fine -- I mean your dress is fine, sorry," I blurted out, a sheepish look on my face.
"Oh ok haha," she giggled cutely knowing I had just checked her out, "You're looking fine too. I love it when guys dress well because it shows they really care."
Phew
. Overall a good first impression?
"If I'm not wrong the restaurant should be near the river front. Let's walk by the river as the view is really nice", she chirped.
"
Mmm sure," was all I could manage, captivated by this beauty. She walked ahead and led the way, her shapely ass swaying as though she was catwalking.
Finally, we reached the Irish Tavern -- a cosy dimly-lit bar playing 80s music in the background. Hmmm, this seemed perfect for our date I thought to myself as we picked a table at a quiet corner, away from the rowdy groups of men having their Friday night beers. As we were browsing through the menu, the aroma of grilled meat tickled my nose so we decided on a sirloin steak and pork ribs to fill our spirits. While waiting for the food, we began talking and although I was really nervous when I met her, her laughter made it melt away and put me at ease as we talked and laughed the night away.
As we were talking about relationships, Jacky suddenly asked me, "So what's your ideal type?"
"Well, I do like brunettes but more importantly, I love a girl who smiles and makes me laugh because I feel comfortable too..." I rambled, caught off guard by her question.
