I went on a third date and the whole time my stomach was doing FLIPS not because of him but because I kept thinking about the bill. Like, I made myself talk super low so he wouldn't hear my stomach rumble. I’m SO ashamed but I kept my voice steady, just talking about stupid movies, pretending I wasn't just thinking about how much a ramen bowl costs and if I could just... sneak some of his fries when he wasn't looking. I worked like, three gigs this week and still barely made rent and my phone bill is due and it’s EMBARRASSING. My voice was SO steady though. That's the worst part.
