Re: Dating

[(Anonymous)]

I’ve been on exactly one date and didn’t realize it was a date until my friend pointed it out to me when I was telling her about it. The guy insisted on picking me up, which made me uncomfortable because we’d only known each other for about a week (we met at a wedding and had a great time chatting). We were both interested in botany, so we went to the botanical gardens in the neighboring city. That part was pretty fun, but he kept trying to hold my hand and I had no idea why. He wanted to buy me flowers and lunch, but I declined the flowers and insisted on paying for my lunch. When he dropped me off at home, he tried to kiss me goodbye, but I hugged him instead and thanked him for a nice day. When my friend pointed out that the outing had actually been a date, I asked him if we’d gone on a date. He’d thought I’d meant date because I was the one to suggest going to the gardens. I felt really embarrassed and apologized if I’d given him any kind of mixed signals since I didn’t want to date people, just have more friends to hang out with. He said that was fine, he wanted more friends too, and never texted me back.

*cringe* Oh, man. I don't understand why guys do this... attempt a stealth date and convince themselves it's somehow better and lower risk if you never say the word "date", as if that gives you plausible deniability. This dude was obviously lying... he asked you on a date, but was too chicken to come out and say it, then ghosted you because he was so fucking embarrassed when it blew up in his face.



PSA: Just say the word, folks. Say "date". Don't beat around the bush!
