Dating in general is fun, but its the first dates that suck in my opinion. I believe that the awkwardness comes from not knowing each other and therein not knowing what to expect from the other party. For example, you go on a movie date. You both walk up to the door at the same pace, who will open the door? Will he be a gentleman and get all the doors (including car doors if he pickin me up)...or just wait on me to open them? Then you walk up to the ticket counter, will he ask for one ticket...or two. (He better ask for two...or I'm leaving! lol) Then inside the theater, will he just sit there and watch the movie, like he should. Or try to make moves on you the WHOLE time...ughhhh...hate when a man tries that shit on the first date. I do not want you to lift the arm rest so we can get closer...thats for BJs (boo joints) and boyfriends...not for you hun. Worst of all my movie pet peeves, hand holding. ODG (oh dear god) hand holding is for couples...and not to mention usually makes our hands sweaty...so get off!! To paraphrase for the slower readers: NO PDA on the FIRST date. I'm still single, and may be scoping someone else if you're lame...and the hand holding will def be a cock block. LMAO But really tho, those things mentioned are AWKWARD moments that I wish could be skipped all together. Now example 2, a dinner date. How awkward is it when you're trying to eat, and the other person keeps yapping at you...like not normal convo but straight rambling about themselves. OMG just stfu and eat your burger dude, its getting cold and I'm getting bored! lol I mean if its a good convo, I wont complain, but nothing urks me more than a self-important jerk who just yaps about himself the whole meal, I dont really care that much about what you do to spend an hour hearing about it. Then how about the food on face awkward moment, where you or the other person has a huge piece of food on their face and has no idea. lol EMBARESSING. Then the check comes...DUN DUN DUN...and ofcourse the guy looks at you a few times...its like is he gonna just pay for it, or is he looking at me waiting for me to offer to pay...because he'll be waiting a long time...bc I def wont. HAHA...I'm being real...a man wants to take a woman out...it should be a given that he will be paying for the date whether its dinner or a movie, etc. Gray area...when a girl asks a guy out...that could go either way. Honestly sometimes I'm scared to go on a date with a guy, for fear of discovering that he's whack. Its pretty hard to enjoy a 2hr long movie with someone who is constantly talking to you during the movie or tryna cuddle. A friend of mine actually had that happen to her and just got up and sat in a different row from the guy. LMAOOOOOO Harsh but real, a dinner or movie date does not equal a hook up. We are women, not prostitutes.
So yeah, first dates are EXTREMELY awkward, but they can still be good overrall. And there are only two results that can come about after that, you discover you're out with a LAME and cut all ties, or everything goes uphill...
