First dates are awkward, no matter which way you slice ‘em. Even when we have high hopes for a blossoming romance, the reality of a first date usually falls short of our expectations.
1. Expectation: Boy comes to pick you up in his car.
Reality: He says he’ll meet you at the restaurant.
2. Expectation: A cute dinner in Newton or downtown Boston.
Reality: Lower.
3. Expectation: Effortlessly flowing conversation throughout the whole evening.
Reality: He checks Facebook every ten minutes.
4. Expectation: He tells you that you look “beautiful.”
Reality: He tells you “you’ve got something in your teeth.”
5. Expectation: You realize you both have several overlapping interests and hobbies.
Reality: Your own similarity is your mutual hatred of the Rat.
6. Expectation: Lingering eye contact.
Reality: His eyes keep lingering on the clock.
7. Expectation: A short, yet meaningful, kiss goodnight.
Reality: High five.
8. Expectation: He asks for your number.
Reality: He asks you to foot the bill for dinner.
9. Expectation: He texts you the next day.
Reality: He booty calls you that night.
Don’t give up hope, girls! One of these days the expectations will also be the realities….right? Right!?
