Day 18
2 Days until I am 20.
In my 19th year I went on my first blind date. I actually went on two. In two weeks.
The first was great.
The second not so much.
Let's just say I am not even facebook friends with the person who took me on the second blind date.
Blind dates are a funny thing.
1st You are not previously friends so you have nothing to go off of and you are pretty much just getting to know each other while he is paying for your dinner. Thanks.
2nd You kind of feel obligated to like remember something about them, bring it up, ect. Like oh how is your job going? Did you get into your major? How was your trip last week? But since you don't have anything to go off of you can't do this.
3rd What do you do when you meet the person for the first time? Salute, hand shake, hug? Awkward.
4th What are you suppose to do if you know that it is not going to work out (or even be that fun) in the first moments. Let him buy you dinner. Yes. Yes and yes.
5th What if you are with an engaged couple. Is that more or less awkward?
In my 19th year I went on my first blind date. I definitely think everyone should experience it. It is an adventure.
