I watched this as part of the Talking Horse Monologues Season 4. It does what every excellent monologue does—it shows someone who has an immediate, clear objective and gives us an emotional drive embedded with honesty and need. Combining a first date and a man explaining (or in his mind over-explaining) his ADHD makes for an insightful message that is really eye-opening. Wonderful!

Saw this performed beautifully as part to the Talking Horse Monologues Season 4. First dates are always such a hard thing to even prepare yourself for and when it comes to opening up about yourself under those harsh settings, it can be eye-opening but also enlightening about the true wonder that a person can give to a friendship or relationship when they just they can honest about themselves with you and you in turn do the same thing.

As writers, we need to write things which need to be told, so I congratulate Monica for this. I have very little understanding of ADHD, so I thank the author for this valuable insite. On an aside, if someone I met on a first date said this to me, I'd say something like: "Thanks for letting me know, now let's go to dinner together." An excellent monologue.
