Welcome to Ficly, mate! Sure you joined in February, but this is only your second story. Alright with the pleasantries out of the way, let’s get to the meat of the commenting. First off I’d like to say that I think that is an excellent snapshot of an awkward date with an awkward person. The dialogue seems good. That being said a few more details could go a long way. Formatting wise, spaces in between dialogue and paragraphs will make it easier on the eye. Lastly, tags are used to “find” / “attach” your story by keywords. So right now if I look up the tag “poop”, your story will come up due to your tag. I usually put proper names, ideas present, and a lot of nouns but that’s just me. Anyway I’m sure this looks daunting by now, so let me end with I liked it, welcome, and cheers!
Based on the title, I thought this was a sequel to your first story, but was nicely surprised that it wasn’t. I agree with Robert Quick that you nicely captured the awkwardness of the moment.
As to tags, use them for what ever you like. Yeah people can search stories based on them, but that’s about it. Kind of useless that way. I sometimes use tags to fill in ambiguous parts of a story, or to give clues to the reader, and other times I use them to just to be humourous.
