And the awkwardness begins! :3
Awkward dates are better than dried dates at least.
One does not simply have an accidental date. If all involved do not agree on beforehand that they have a date, then it is no date. Sure there can be confusion about this, but this is my take on the matter. Also, if you are uncertain you can ask: Is this a date, or are we just having coffee together?
No, I had a girlfriend and we were having a conversation, and I was working in a hospital at the time, and said “and they said that if you swabbed the nostrils of anyone working in a hospital, you would probably find MRSA!” and she said “you don’t tell someone you’re on a date with you’re diseased…” and I said “…we’re on a date?”
We were in a nightclub, sure, but we’d both been going there regularly for years.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a date that was explicitely labeled as a date.
21 and I’ve never been on a date :(
23 and never been on a date. (Boyfriend is long-distance :(. )
Fly to him! Find a long weekend, take a day or two off, and go see him. Make a point of saving up for it if it’s a significant financial burden, like saving for a vacation. I can tell you from experience when I flew from CA to NY to see my boyfriend (again; we met/lived together as friends in college) it was a vacation worth taking.
As a 20 year old who has never had a boyfriend or girlfriend, and is complete virgin I feel for you, buddy.
I hear that. 27, no dates and no relationships.
Start making moves already, people : )
ya srsly.
Go to anime convention. Talk with people!
Go to bar. Talk with people!
Go camping. Share smores.
As opposed to a partial virgin? Lol, I kid.
Seriously though. I’m in the same boat at 23, but once I got on OKCupid and “dated” a few people, I realized that I am way happier not dealing with any of that. XD I’m a pretty introverted person, and now relationships seem like a huge time suck. When I get home from work, I just don’t want to talk to anyone. So I just sit at home with my bunny and work on my own art and writing. I think it’s great. Then again, I’m probably somewhere on the asexual spectrum as well as being introverted, so there’s that. Basically, give me a pet and some food and I’m happy.
19, and I finally just had my first real date. I hated it. I was with a guy that my friends set me up with to try and get over the guy I’m in love with, and now the guy I’m in love with just keeps doing shit that makes me question what the hell he’s doing about ‘cutting me out of his life’. It’s like he’s still trying to have me in his life, and it’s werid, so they set me up on a date, the guy was nice, but no dating material and not relationship material. I wanted to smash my head against a table when my phone went off and Black Veil Brides’s song Devil’s Choir started playing and he’s all like, “What band is that? They sound horrible.” If It wasn’t for the fact that I was a bit too far away from my house to walk, I would have walked out on him. It was so horrible, and he was nothing like mi amor, I hated it. :/
Drinks with a collague that ended up with him kissing me. I had been under the impression it was drinks as normal, just in a smaller group (2 rather than 4 or 5); he had thought 2 = date.
Heh, I once didn’t realize I was in a relationship with someone for about two years until we broke up.
I still can’t look at the boy without thinking about the shit we put each other through.
I like the concept of accidental date. XD
I’ve had they-thought-it-was-a-date when they didn’t want it to be and also it bloody well wasn’t. XD;
I was hanging with a friend I was also kinda into when I suddenly realized that we were on a spontaneous date. I can’t remember how it went, it was THAT unremarkable.
I was once taken on a date to a bus station once, when I was about 14. Nearly 10 years later I went on a date with someone, told them about said ridiculous date and we laughed. Then he took me to a bus station. Not to be amusing, he just wanted to know when his bus would be. There was no second date.
Nope, 23 going on 24, never really had a date at all.
According to my mom, my stepdad and she were dating before they realized they were dating. They are best friends, so it was a while, and only after a comment made by mutual friends of theirs.
I met a fellow at my ex-girlfriend’s birthday party. I was having such a good time (drinking) that I gave him my number. We met up a week later and had a nice breakfast, after which he walked to me to my car and asked if he could kiss me. Confused about the sudden gear shift, I asked him why, which led to the most awkward conversation where I had to explain that my dating interest was primarily women.
Invited friends out to see a new film. We all got drunk the night before and only me n the other person made it. He seemed to think I’d planned it tht way … Defiantly not. Also then got grumpy whn a few days after I was seeing someone. Not only had he thought it was a date (I was oblivious to this) he thought we were dating! Oops…
I’m not sure what qualifies as a date, but I don’t feel I’ve been on one despite being with my boyfriend for 6 years… We just hung out as friends until he kissed me at a party, and then we’ve been places together of course but it just feels like hanging out with my best friend (with occasional kisses) rather than a date.
My relationship with my ex was just like that. (except it was 8 1/2 years and the kissing first happened at school, not a party) So, I also feel like I’ve never been on a real date.
My best friend and I have had numerous conversations about what actually constitutes as a date. If it’s just hanging out or going out to dinner then we’ve technically been dating for 7 years haha.
I’ve personally never been on an “accidental” date, unless you count the time one of my work colleagues took me out clubbing and at the end said I was the “most intelligent date” he’d ever had, then got flustered and said “Well, not a date, but you know what I mean.” Little bit awkward, but at least it was flattering haha.
I once thought I was asked on a date, but then the other person didn’t even offer to pay, and the next day he changed his relationship status on Facebook to in a relationship with some random girl…
Ha! “Person-friend” I love it! XD
So I really like that stranger. The nobody in the foreground with the dreads and purple in the hair that may be color or may just be lighting. You should make that character an ongoing character. Yes. That is all.
Ooooh I accidentally had a first date with the woman who is now my fiancée. She knew it was a date, being the one who had asked me out. I only realised it after it was over.
She still teases me about it to this day.
I’ve been the one thinking it was a date from the start. I thought I had made it clear to a guy that I was interested in him and dinner was definitely a date. He was way more dense than I gave him credit for. In the middle of dinner he blurted out “Wait, are you trying to seduce me or something?” We’re friends now and I learned to communicate more clearly with the next guy I dated who is currently my boyfriend.
My friend asked me out to a movie and I figured it was just a movie day (mainly because he had a girlfriend) but halfway through he told me that he and his girlfriend broke up and implied that we were on a date and it was very awkward and terrible since it was my first sort of date.
I’ve only dated one person. And we only started dating after about a month sleeping together. As we started getting close, we both decided to take it to the next level and consciously “date” – which meant that the actual date had no confusion, uncertainty or mixed expectations and we both already knew we fancied the pants off each other.
It was a good date :D
Well, on the only ‘date’ I’ve been on, I was pretty sure I made it clear that it WASN’T a date at the very beginning. Person didn’t get the picture. I ended up having a panic attack when they started touching my arm and my knee, froze up, panicked some more, and then finally managed to free myself and cried all the way home. Nothing awkward about it.
I like ‘person-friend’ though! I have started referring to people’s significant others/partners/boyfriends/girlfriends/etc as their ‘person’ – it’s so wonderful and broad! :D
Since my best friend and fiancé are the same person, it’s kinda hard to decide what is a date and what isn’t… I mean, is going shopping and having lunch somewhere a date? Is going to the arcade together a date? Is hanging on the couch and watching Star Trek (what we do almost every evening) a date? In our case, I suppose half of the things we do together could be concidered dates, and I’m completely fine with that. The best thing about being partners in every way is that it doesn’t always have to be romantic. And normal things like watching tv or playing a game together can unexpectedly turn into a very romantic thing as well <3
Pretty sure the first date I had with one of my ex’s involved going to his and playing on the play station loosing continuously and berating him for winning. Pretty awesome date standard in my opinion. Though now we are friends makes hanging out alone weird cos all our dates were the two of doing something we enjoyed together lol XD
PS: I like how he says “a first date” instead of just “a date”. I ship them in the most awkward way possible ♥
So, met a girl at a medieval event, on a whim gave her my phone number, my partner and decided to invite her over for dinner, had dinner, played video games, she asks, “so…what are we doing? I want this to be a date, but you two could just be a friendly couple who invites a girl over for dinner and gives her wine…” Me: Um…yeah…that’s not creepy…I am pretty sure it’s a date…” Survey says! DATE!
Is it weird that this story sounds very familiar and I have a friend who met someone at a medieval event and ended up in some sort of relationship them and their partner?
Met a friend of a friend when we were all getting coffee, I told him we should hang out sometime and traded numbers. He asked if I wanted to come over and watch TV with him and his roommates, and I said sure. After a few episodes and a few confusing comments, his roommates left saying something about leaving us alone and I realized he thought it was a date and had been gushing to his roommates about me, talk about awkward :-\
Of course, I’m not always the most observant person, I once agreed to go to a movie alone with the guy my roommate liked, not realizing it was supposed to be a date…my roommate never forgave me and moved out the next day! Of course, then I dated that guy for two years, so worked out all right for me ;-)
Once in high school I was invited to a guys house to play video games. I thought that’s all he wanted, but then he started cuddling me and then asked me what I would do if he kissed me. I said I’d hit him..It was incredibly awkward since I was only 14 or 15 at the time and hadn’t really started dating yet…
My first year of college I met a guy and we we got pretty friendly in the following months; he would drop by now and then for tea. We’d been meaning to have dinner together for ages, but kept having to postpone. When we finally got around to it, he said ‘It’s nice that we’re doing this around Valentines’. I freaked (just a little) and made it very clear that I wasn’t interested in dating. We don’t talk anymore, but I totally dodged a bullet considering he turned out to be very religious and didn’t believe in other faiths. Ironic, considering we met in an inter-faith event.
Uhh I had one of those “is this a date, now?” Moments myself^^
I went to the cinema with a male friend of mine (and I really suspect he wants us to be more than friends but I’m really, really bad at detecting those things. I even asked a female friend of mine about her opinion but she doesn’t know either…) it was one of those events where you ask your whole group of friends if the want to go see this film but only we two made it in the end.
He paid for my ticket as he had bought them before I arrived and said it was fine (it was a really cheap ticket but anyway, that’s why I think it might have been kind of date-ish) and all trough the movie he tried NOTHING. I don’t know if he is just a nice friend or too shy to make a move.
I for myself am to shy to tell him I only like him as a friend and (I’m a bisexual 23 old girl) think about labeling myself as lesbian now so that things won’t get any more awkward…it wouldn’t even be that big of a lie because right now I’m really more into girls
I was on a date and didn’t realize it until someone tried calling her to hang out and she declined, saying she was on a date. Whoops..
I once almost had that situation – I wasn’t *sure* if it was a date, but I suspected it was. But because I had no feelings at all for the guy, I deliberately invited a third friend along, purely to kill the mood. It worked!
Sex and dating honestly isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. I have opinions.
