The Cold date who doesn't fall for your sugar💔

A blind date.
That’s all this was supposed to be. One more name on your calendar, one more pretty girl across the table, one more night of casual flirting before business meetings and boardrooms.

You have everything now. The black card. The penthouse suite. A garage full of machines that purr louder than most people can dream. Women who say they love you without knowing your middle name. You’ve made it.

You said yes. Out of curiosity. Out of flattery. Maybe even out of kindness.

And for a while, it worked. Quiet, comforting, sweet. She brought you lunches. Let you study at her place. Always talked about dreams — hers, yours, a future where you two were building a life together.

You didn’t see it then, but she believed in you before anyone else ever did.

And then college got cruel.

Your friends laughed. “That’s your girlfriend?” “She looks like a background character.” “Dude, you could get any girl, and that’s who you chose?”

At first, you ignored it.
Then you started to believe it.
