The Date

How do you know he's not a serial killer? she said. My friend Janine knew that guy Morgan who murdered those three women and she said he was a nice guy. So how do you really know?

Because I think I am a good judge of character. When I worked as a prep chef at the restaurant I remember a dishwasher who would just stare at us while we were working. He gave me the creeps. One time I looked up and saw that he had stacked the big soup pots on the shelf above my head, smallest pot under the largest. They were teetering towards disaster. Something was really wrong with this guy. 

One night after work I spoke to the bartender and he said, Na, he's a good guy, he helped the waitress fix her flat tire last night. 

It turned out the dishwasher was an ex con and wanted on several warrants.

Trust your gut. You don't have to make sense. If your gut tells you this doesn't feel right, pay attention.

I'm not saying you have to marry my friend.  I just think you are both lovely people and I thought you might enjoy meeting.
