This happened to my friend Friday night

I pray for your friend to recover from that ordeal.

Could be worse, my mom told me how when she was in highschool her freind set her up on a blind date with a guy from 2 towns over. Turned out to be my mom's cousin. But she only found out they were related after he dropped her off at her house and my grandmother had to break the news. She thanks God still to this day that he was a huge jerk the whole date or she would of kissed him. Lol

Surely, if she recognises him, you start the date off by saying "Let's just put that behind us and have a nice night.", then you order the most expensive food on the menu and sneak out the bathroom window before the check comes.
