I stood outside Au Bon Pain for a few minutes, anxious that maybe we had agreed upon another time. Nobody was there that looked like his picture. He could be late. He could be at the Au Bon Pain at the other end of the building. Some people look a whole lot better in pictures than in real life.
Some people look great in real life, but take terrible photos.
This guy was really cute in his picture, but gave only a fraction of the impact of him in person. I was sure I could hear the disappointment in his voice. Have a nice conversation and then be the one to go. Best not to make him cut it short. We got a couple of hot chocolates and sat outside the shop, sipping and chatting.
