She’s only conversed with him online and the picture of him matches the man in the bar.
Who is he? Where is her date?
What happens?

I’m just an aspiring author but thought I would make a comment about the heroines predicament. I imagine her thinking him to be funny, poetic and sensitive man online. What she didn’t account for was either how long it took him to post his funny, poetic or sensitive posts/responses, or how every one of his posts/responses were so perfect. Truth is,without Google and his quick Internet search reflexes, he’s a socially awkward dude who eats bags of Cheetos and drinks a six pack every night while watching big brother conspiracy documentaries on TV. Or porn.
What happens is the guy she mistook him for picks up on her feelings of disappointment. He offers to buy her a drink. After a few, where she learns he’s just been fired from his job, kicked out by his wife and has had his identity hacked. She feels worse for him than she feels for herself. They go back to her place and use each other to forget their problems for a while. Not that I have ever had any real life experience like this.
