Whats wrong with guys these days?

My gf and I went on date last night to a nearby restaurant , everything was going perfect. I pulled out her chair like a true gentleman—full points for chivalry. She smiled like she just won a reality show. We were locked in that early-date energy, and I could practically hear violins.

Then I noticed him. That lone guy, sitting at the next table, arms folded, face intense—like the people who think they are the main characters in a movie but only to be killed in the first scene. Just staring at us. Judging. Probably thinking, Ah, young love. So naive. Or maybe jealous of what we had going.

But I ignored it. I was feeling bold. I wanted to show her I’m not basic. So I ordered: Chocolate momos and jal jeera, please.

Boom. The vibe? Gone. She looked at me like I’d just confessed to never washing my bedsheets. That guy? His judgey face somehow got even more judgey.

Then she stood up and left—dramatic, full Bollywood exit. The solo guy sipped his water like it was whiskey, probably thinking, I knew it. something wrong with couples these days.

But what he didn’t know— What no one could’ve predicted— Is that she didn’t leave because of the chocolate momos.

She left because… I ordered jal jeera instead of her fav mango lassi. I tried to tell her its not mango season yet but she wouldn’t listen to me. So she left to get Frooti for herself.

And that judgmental guy? He still thinks he cracked the mystery. And he even came to ask me what was wrong. I gave him death stare but I think he just wanted the chocolate momos. Should I have shared them with him? I really wanted to drink jal jeera but that guy didn’t even let me drink that in peace!
