Dating: It's a Dangerous World

Date: A social gathering where a guy and a girl are together and one of them pays for both. Okay, so it's not the most intelligent Webster Dictionary definition, but it works, right? WRONG! A date is a awkward setting when a guy and a girl have to look at each other and try to make conversation. Why is dating such a scary thing? Sure you have to actually talk to someone face to face and not write them dumb messages on cell phones, but, it's good for us Homo sapiens to branch out a little and leave our bubble. The dating world is full of ups and downs and highs and lows and lefts and rights and I think you get the point. Let's review a date shall we? The guy picks the girl up at eight. He is on time and off they go into the universe of "Oh my gosh I wonder if he/she likes me.", "Do I look okay?", "He/She probably thinks I'm a nerd." "HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The guy is probably the most scared. I mean he is the one who diid the asking. Is she going with him out of politeness or does she like him? Why did I ask her? She probably hates me. (Guys, if you're reading this you're probably smiling and nodding your head in agreement, well actually, now your probably laughing because you were nodding your head in agreement.) Here's a clue: Don't freak out! Although dating sounds vicious it's actually quite fun! Plus, girls are more than likely thinking the same thing you are except not about herself. Girls may be scared also, but not as much as the men. (Hey, girls don't have to pay, why be scared?) Anywho, the usual girl is probably the most concerned on how she looks. Isn't that right ladies? She may want to know if her date really likes her or if she was on the bottom of the list. The only reason that the dating world is dangerous is because we make it dangerous inside our heads. Constantly worrying and stressing. Just relax. Enjoy the ride it goes by too fast. Don't be scared and remember your entire future is not resting on this single dumb little date! Just have Fun.
