Our blind date was late for 45 minutes; I started to get angry and annoyed, so I said ‘’ I knew it; this is why I hate online dating. I am leaving this stupidity.” In the same instant, she walked in, and the time stopped. It was the girl of my dreams, with big hazel eyes piercing through my soul. With her glowing skin, modest elegance and discrete makeup, she had style and glamour of classic Hollywood beauty. Simple five word ‘’ Hi, my name is Johana” made me feel as I know her for decades. In contradiction, Sergio and her sister Andrea left us almost immediately, as they didn’t have any mutual connection. The hours slipped by like seconds; we kept talking about countless subjects, oblivious of our surroundings; it turned out that we are like long lost twins reunited again. As we liked the same book (“The Forth Agreement”), food, sports, and even held the identical views on morality and…
I was ready. I picked up Mildred at her house, she was wearing a peach dress, she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. We got to the Carnival and the first thing we did was play a game. The game was to throw wooden ball at medium size ring of fire. I wanted to win Mildred a stuffed animal as I had promised her when I asked her out. The man asked her what she wanted she said “I would like a stuffed animal of a panda reading a book. The man typed it up on his tablet and it appeared. I don’t know why she wanted a panda reading a book, I myself would have chosen something cool like a phoenix or something but whatever made her happy made me even happier. The night went on, she was amazing she was funny and so sweet, I hoped the night would never end.. Then she asked if I wanted to go on the ferris wheel, I told her that I was afraid of heights, but she said don’t worry I am here for you. I couldn’t refuse an offer to sit so close to her in a cramped seat so I trusted her. When we got on she saw how scared I was so she grabbed my hand and started singing “L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole, that forever became our song. I saw that it was cold so I gave her my jacket. After the ferris wheel we decided to walk around, she was still holding my hand. We stopped by the pond looked at each other, I pushed her hair to her ear and went in for a kiss, as soon as I did the annual fireworks went off. It was a moment I’ll never forget. Instead of taking the monorail home we decided to walk. It suddenly started to rain she was looking for a roof we could go under but I…
The clock above my head ticks slowly, the sound ever increasing as the minutes pass by; tick, tick, tick. I normally do not notice the time while I work, usually I am the energizer bunny of workers, in early, out late, always working or willing to, but that day was different; I had a date; a first date to be exact. Finally the time has come for me to go home; I step out into the warm Vegas air, I can smell the familiar scents of fall slowly encroaching on the city. September in Vegas is typically warm, with the average daily temperatures in the upper nineties. I lite a cigarette and walk through the parking garage to my car. My mind was racing; what will he be like, will he be funny, boring; I even allow my thoughts to drift to what he would look like naked.…

One insignificant thing that made me uncomfortable was when you held my hand, you did it the wrong way. Instead of interlocking fingers like most people do, you cupped your hand against mine, but I guess most people do not strip the dignity off other people. Nevertheless, while we were at the pet store, you came behind me, wrapped your arms around me in a way that made me cringe, and whispered provocative things in my ear. This increased my dislike towards you, but, again, I overlooked it. By this point you bought the tickets and I did not want to leave in the middle of the date due to an awkward comment. Frankly, I have yet to be on a first date lacking…
The morning went so fast, I was slightly nervous about seeing Josie again since it had been three months since our last encounter. I put on a t-shirt and shorts on then stood in front of the mirror as I splashed my face with water. I looked at the clock and saw it was 11:50 so I grabbed my helmet and jacket as I pushed my motorcycle out the garage. It wasn’t until I got to the street before Subway that I realised my phone had fallen out of my pocket and I had left my wallet at home. I knew then I was going to be late and Josie was going to…
As the window finally came to a close, I almost skipped to my wardrobe, half excited and half nervous. I swiftly undress from my holey sweats and too big shirt and throw on a simple pair of midnight black tights and an old and faded crew neck sweater supporting my high school's swim team. Since it's nearly pitch black outside I decide against brushing my hair, instead I leave my normal beach-wave-do down since it didn't appear all that ratty and since it was very late at night I highly doubt that Thomas would notice either way. I tied the last lace on my shoe and made my way out of my…
Then there was a second date, and a third, and a fourth, and a three hundredth. Eventually, the time spent apart was so much less prevalent than the time we were together that we began talking about moving in together. The relationship progressed fluidly, like rushing water cutting through the rock of cynicism, splashing right past the banks of bad memories. Everything fell into place, making every moment feel amazingly magical, and maybe a little bit fated, as if someone had played dice and the future was…
The day began just like any other day. The ringing of the alarm clock and a quick breakfast that could hardly be call a meal. I was afraid. My way around this fear was to retreat into myself. This seemed to be the easy answer for me. I did not put myself out there. There fore I did not risk rejection. Looking back now, that was not the answer. I know now that I missed out on a lot. I guess that’s why it is said that hind sight is 20/20.…
October 18th, 2014 was the day which I cannot not to embrace it in my mind. That was a Saturday, which I did not have to take my evening classes at IFL as weekday schedules. That was a very special day I wished to have in my life for these twenty years. Personally, it was supposed to be an exciting moment; however, things was not that as expected. The story was initially started by a night before it, which was in October 17th, 2014. On that night, I received a Facebook inbox from a guy, who I had been chatting to, texted to date me out to meet on the following day. I got no hesitation to refuse him since I also wondered how he was in real person beyond in social media channel. Hence, the date was confirmed. I was kind of suffering an unusual heartbeat, and I was like could not fall asleep well at that night. Tick tock, tick tock… the time was flying in a slow speed that I could not wait anymore to let it reached 5pm as soon as possible. Hours passed, I prepared myself in a gorgeous dress and preceded the dating venue a half hour to make sure I was not late for my first date as I was late for every class at school. Unluckily, the early arrival made me bored and impatient to wait my partner. I was counting my phone’s clock again to wish every minute could flied a bit faster, and it was like a ten-minute late from the appointed time that I was sit still without seeing his shadow to reach me. I was so hungry and could not wait not to order the meal. That my bad routine of posting my meal on Facebook before I had it gave myself an excuse to access the free Wi-Fi and chatted to him why he was not yet there. Then I got a sign of “Seen” via the chat without any response back. Frustrated by the chat, I was quite aggressive, and accidently on the way to restroom, I hit the café’s servant while he was serving another customer’s coffee. As a consequence, I was spilt with brown stain of coffee kissed on my beautiful dress. That…
I did not expect that night to be so strange, but it turned out to open my eyes. I was a little impatient and asked, “Are you going out with me, Sarah? I was waiting for you more than half an hour already!”…
Somehow it is normal for others that may become so nervous, hence having to forget bringing the flowers, sometimes it may be losing track of time or having to forget the actual address. Well, it’s my first date, nervous and palms are sweating. I’m feeling as if the world will end if I knock on her door, looking at the watch and its six p.m. It was then I realized that I had forgotten to get her flowers, so I quickly ran out to her front yard and search for at least a flower that is worth looking at. I stumbled up a rose bush and painfully picked up five white roses. Rubbed off the little blood I had on my palm with my black jeans and went back to the front door. It was then I noticed she was already there, door wide opened, seeing her beautiful eyes looking at me puzzled as I nervously handed her the white roses. She looked at them as if she knows where these roses come from. We smiled and I spoke out but I didn’t quite well put my words so she just told her parents that she was leaving and out we went, having thoughts in my mind that next time I shouldn’t forget the flowers.…
During our first month of dating he invited me to a Mardi Gras dance at his school. I was ecstatic; it would be our first real date. Even though I was excited about the dance, at the same time I was nervous. What would I wear? How would I fix my hair? What if he tried to kiss me; would I be a good kisser?…

People in life will go through bad things. Sometimes it can be a bad job, bad relationship, or even a bad breakup. I am here to talk about a bad date. I know that later on in life I will probably go through other dates, but this happen to be the worst date I have ever had. The things that consider this a bad date for me are when my boyfriend at the time had me pay for everything, put me to sleep during the date, and vomited on me at the end of the night.…
