I Think It's Got A Lot of Potential

She told him she loves Utah and he sent her little stories about Moab over the internet. They met working on a social reform issue/newspaper they both believe in. He doesn't drink or smoke. He admitted he was worried about the outfit he wore on their first date. She fussed a little over her getup as well but not excessively. He called her when he said he was going to call. He walked her to Union Station. They are not dietarily compatible but, good grief, who is not willing to make concessions or expects perfection. He was nervous on their first date and she realized this and cut him some slack, OF COURSE. Anyone who does not make exceptions for this most basic and human of phenomena deserves to spend the rest of their lives alone, if you ask me.

I'm choosing to be happy for my friend today & relate a little story about manners and tolerance. It's a small story but I think it's got a lot of potential.
