Hi bg,

You romantic thing, you! Loved it!

All the best in the contest.

"Sheila, I am so sorry (that) I'm late." .. if a sentence reads the same without 'that', it's better to drop it - makes for a smoother read and a tidier sentence.

This is a delightful flash fiction story with a satisfying conclusion for the reader. You used your minimal word limit very well. Best wishes in the contest.

That was good, so who was the other fellow? LOL, blind dates can be daunting. I met my late husband on a bling date, and it worked out perfectly. Good luck in the contest, it is a great contender. Sandra xsx

A tale of mistaken identity well told! Blind dates are always a bit of a risk! Glad that things took a turn for the better and left her well on the way to living happily ever after!

This is a great "twist" . . . didn't see it coming . . . it was believable, too. Nicely written with humor & original details. Thanks for sharing & good luck in the contest.

Very nicely composed 100 word dash story. It had all the components required in a flash fiction story.
Great twist at the end. I didn't see that coming.
Good luck in the voting... John

I had to read this three times before I "got" it. Evidently she had an encounter with someone other than her "real" date at the bar. When that didn't work out she left, just as her "real" date arrived. I'm giving you five stars for content, but suggest rearranging sentence sequence for clarity.

I love the turn of events that changes everything for this disillusioned dater :-)
You've told an entertaining story within contest word restrictions and have addressed the stranger/kiss theme well.

I like this very much. It is fresh, modern, believable and adorable. You stayed within the rules of this prompt and did it in an adorable way. Its not way out there, its not pretentious, it just simply could happen. I love surprises at the end of the little ones (100 words) cause I know its hard to do. Bravo. Good luck in the contest.
