I accidentally got kind of drunk on my first date with my last boyfriend/whatever, and had to rush off into a cab before it became really embarassingly obvious, which is like the opposite of Wolfram's tricky ending. (I accidentally got drunk since we met for a drink after work, not dinner, and then I ordered a cocktail, when I should have (a) had a snack beforehand, (b) ordered wine or beer, or (c) both! I know better now.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My last date involved a combination of memorably intense halitosis, coy childish behavior, and pestering follow-ups that cemented my loathing for text messaging in general.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My last for-sure date was with a guy who wrote Spam software. I don't remember who paid for the meal, but I hope it was him.
Really don't remember much else...and that was more than five years ago now.

Of course my last date before Mrs. W. was a girl who was so unpleasant to be around, I had to make a quick judgment call as to how short a date can be cut without being rude (I guessed an hour and a half) and mentally counting down the minutes until I could take her home.

ita, woman, you should have kicked him in the head for us. Plaguing us with spam.

No, I was waiting for the internets to pony up the good pictures and video.

Basically. Sadly I deleted the horde of text messages off my cell and cannot provide an accurate transcript, but it went something like:
TEXT MESSAGE 1: Hi.
TEXT MESSAGE 2: Whatcha doin'?. [This is where I began mentally inserting the tone of a coquettish 14 year-old girl]
TEXT MESSAGE 3: I'm bored .
TEXT MESSAGE 4: Just thought I'd check in. [By this point it's maybe 3 hours after the end of our date.]
Lather, rinse, repeat.
