It's not exactly easy to play it cool in a situation like this. Picture this: you wake up one morning and you scroll on social media for a bit. Then, you complete your lazy morning routine by checking out your dating app matches and messages. You start to message someone new, you exchange witty texts, and you agree to catch up later because you both have to get ready for work. You then check in with the person you had already been messaging for quite some time now because the two of you have a first date scheduled for this evening and you want to confirm that it's still on.

Fast forward a few hours and it's time for said first date. It turns out she's just as kind and chill as she seemed when you were messaging, which we all know is not always the case. Then, the waitress comes to take your drink orders. Uh oh… doesn't this waitress look a little familiar? Yes, she does. She's the other woman you just matched with this morning. And is it obvious that you're on another date right now? Yes, yes it is.

It's not like there was any wrongdoing in this situation; it's simply a funny, unfortunate coincidence. The best thing one could do in this situation is laugh and be honest about the whole thing.
