Finally, he asks her out to dinner  
“I’m a vegetarian” he says, just to see her reaction.  
A committed carnivore, she’s totally incapable of hiding her disgust.  
In her mind, she is already mourning their relationship.  
He laughs out loud.  
“Knock on wood, my last girlfriend was, and it just ruined everything!  
I nearly had a breakdown over it."  
Relieved, she laughs with him.  
Later that evening, he nearly chokes on an olive pit.  
Turns out she knows the Heimlich Maneuver  
And the rest, as they say, is history.
