Imagine a different conclusion for "The Date." What would have to change in the rising action, climax and/or falling action for things to turn out differently for Joe and Lisa?

In order for the story to have a different conclusion, the rising action would need to be changed so that Joe and Lisa have a better conversation and get to know each other better. The climax could be changed so that Joe and Lisa decide to go on a second date and get to know each other better. The falling action could be changed so that Joe and Lisa become closer and eventually start a relationship.
