What is the First Time in a Fancy Cafe meme?
A man dressed in black drinks from a takeaway cup while perched sideways on a small, round metal table attached to a concrete ledge. A woman in a long black dress arrives with her own cup and sits on the ledge, using the matching metal surface as a table. He looks toward her, realizes his mistake, and moves onto the ledge with his cup on the table in front of him.
