Caller Repeats A Forgotten First Date
- Caller had a great recent hookup at the same bar where they'd had a first date three years earlier.
- The woman remembered nothing and the caller now worries about whether to reveal their prior meeting.

- Tell the truth sooner rather than later to avoid carrying an awkward secret into a serious relationship.
- If it feels minor, disclose it early on with a casual line like, "I had a bit of déjà vu — I think we matched before."

- A repeat date can feel like a second chance from the universe rather than deliberate scheming.
- That framing affects whether you view disclosure as necessary or optional.
