I love this story…
Happy Valentine's day, folks. Here's my favorite story about the nerd and the honeypot.
I vaguely recall @megelison.bsky.social telling a story from her fintech days about a shlubby engineer realizing several drinks in that he was being honeypotted by a model and climbing out the bathroom window to escape

My first date with my now wife involved dropping her bags at my house, doing a quick change and then getting dinner and showing her some of my usual haunts in downtown Austin, culminating with our first kiss at Lucky Lounge (RIP)
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?
My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.
