My First Dates: What I Think Will Happen vs. What Actually Happens

June 2, 2014/in Funny & Videos /by Guest Blogger

I’ve gone on plenty of first dates, and I generally go in with expectations. But even though I’ve had flops, I still enjoyed them. Sure, some of these “reality” points are exaggerated, but don’t let that stop you from having a good time, or at least obtain a story you can now retell to crack up your friends over lunch.

1) When You Decide on What to Wear

Expectation:
first date expectations--dressing up
Reality:
first date expectations--reality

2) When You Make Your Way to the Date

Expectation:
getting to the date--expectations
Reality:
getting to the date--reality

3) When You Finally Meet Your Date in Person

Expectation from the photos:
meeting the date in person--expectations
Reality once you meet in person:
meeting the date in person--expectations

4) When You Start Talking To Each Other

Expectation:
first date conversations--expectations
Reality:
first date conversations--reality

5) When You’re Going for a Kiss

Expectation:
the kiss--expectations
Reality:
the kiss--reality

6) When You’re Wondering If You’ll Text After the Date

Expectation:
post date text--expectations
Reality: He/she never texts…
post date text--reality
 
But, hey, at least I’m putting myself out there and meeting people. After all, you have to kiss a bunch of frogs before you kiss a prince, so at least I’m happy I’m gaining experience out there!
