Bad Sense of Humor

All comedians have to start somewhere, which is how amateur comedy nights were born. But as hard as they try, sometimes the jokes just don't land, whether it's the jokes themselves or the audience that's the problem.

Building From the Ground Up

Making Bad Days Better

Servers in restaurants have it rough. They get tiny paychecks, relying almost entirely on tips from customers who are often rude and treat them poorly. Thankfully, the server for this first date didn't have that experience.

The OP's date easily could have just kept that $50 for herself, but instead she decided to give it to a waiter who was probably overworked and underpaid. That just showed what a caring, wholesome person she is. She definitely brightened up his day.

Always Trust the Cat

Cats are finicky creatures, but like any other pet, they're often a good judge of character. Many people will swear that someone isn't a good person if their pet doesn't like them. This person didn't experience that.

It can be pretty hard to earn the trust of a cat, so this is definitely a wholesome reason to hang onto someone. They were probably so relieved to find someone they could have over without worrying about their cat pouncing!
