So I matched with this girl who’s way out of my league, right? First date went well, until she asked why my car had someone else’s name on the plates. Instant mood killer. I panicked, Googled the problem that night, and up popped this UK site explaining how to transfer plates to new car in the simplest way possible. Did it right then and there. By the second date, I had fresh plates and my dignity back. She noticed. We’re still texting.
