So, me personally reading this poem: a) I think that the narrator does not really put off a gender to me which I think is a positive, here, because I think anyone can read this poem and put themselves into it as the narrator. so b) It was very easy to see myself as the speaker in this poem. Taking b) as how I interacted with this poem I actually conceptualized: c) A longer-term relationship that was coming to an end/downsliding due to one person's (the narrator's) frustrations with the other. Certainly, a bad date. I just saw/felt a more extended relationship, I think, than maybe you feel in the poem.
