Ashton, Kris and Seventeen Years of Wine.
Ashton I should have known this was going to go badly. The signs were neon-green two weeks ago when we started chatting but I was blinded by how hot she looked in pictures. Four days into chatting, I knew I wanted to meet up with her. Coaxing her into having the date in my house proved harder than expected – she thought it was “too fast”. I had my mind on one thing but clearly she wanted more. Easing her mind became my life’s mission over those next few days. We went from chatting on the app to talking on the phone about her dog, her work, her family, her exes. Information wasn’t volunteered unless I asked, questions were never reciprocated. By Monday, she’d finally agreed to meet for dinner in my place come Friday. By day before yesterday, I was out of questions to ask. I needed a way to get conversation started again and my friend Martin suggested a brilliant game idea I could try.
