For simple conversation sake... to get a bit off my chest... for the mere pleasure of seeing my thoughts typed out into words... I'm going to go ahead and participate in this week's Hump Day collab, even though we all know dating has never been (nor will it ever be) a part of my life.
Now, Levi & Joel portrayed a hysterical version of myself "dating" at my birthday a while back. They were all playing "Amancay Charades" (thanx Megan!) and roasting me every chance they got. Mentions of "Hot Butt" got thrown around, as were many techy terms, and other odd idiosyncrasies they've noticed throughout the years.
Anywho, without terribly further ado...
- Your date is an hour late, even after you were running 30 minutes late getting ready. Do you wait for your date to show up or do you go out with your friends? First off, I would not be running even a half hour late... I'd go without whatever was lacking at that point. In fact, I'd probably be twiddling my thumbs the whole time waiting. Going with the notion that I would only be heading out with someone I'd known prior... I'd stick it out, just for impact sake. Make sure they know that their actions were completely inappropriate and/or they better have a dang good excuse/reasoning. Plus, I'm super-available... no excuse for not calling me to let me know you're running late, somethign came up, etc. However, I would not run off and do something else. For the pure principle of the matter.
- Your friend has invited you to go on a double date with her, fixing you up with her date's friend. When you finally meet your date, you realize that s/he's hot & your friend does, too. The entire night, your friend is hitting on your date. What do you do? Group date/night out with friends. #1) She ought to know better, as should I were I in her shoes... #2) I make it a habit to be sure everyone is included when a group is out... start up convos with someone who's being shy/left-out, etc. #3) a group thing is non-exclusive in my book, and hopefully not for super-hooking up either. It's for getting to know people better, having fun as a whole... unless you're dealing with pre-made couples (already dating/courting) then this shouldn't be an issue either...
- You agree to go on a blind date. You tell your date to wear a red (flower). When you arrive the restaurant, you see 3 single-seated people wearing red flowers. One person is wearing a red rose, the other - a red carnation, & the last is wearing a red tulip. Which one is your date? Not gonna happen... I would have discussed specifically what kind of flower... and I'd probalby be the one waiting with it, not having to do the seeking out of the other!
- Your date is not going so well. S/He's been constantly on the cell phone, yelling at the waiter, picking their teeth, & talking about him/herself most of the night. When do you end the date & how? *calmly* "Wow, I really better get going... thank you for dinner!" *politely leaves*
am I making any sense?
