Dish Story from Washington, DC

Green flag📍 Washington, DC

Worth the Metro delay

Rain delayed my Metro trip to Foggy Bottom by 45 minutes. When I finally arrived, he was patiently helping an older couple figure out the station and find the elevator. At dinner he didn’t complain about the wait, kept his phone away and actually listened. We shared dessert, and he walked me back to my train. Date two is already planned. Turns out patience is a pretty great first impression.
