Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Guest blogger! My friend was on a date that was going quite well. Towards the end of the date they drove through a fast food place to grab some food. As her date went to pay for the food he grabbed some change with one hand, and grabbed his wallet with the other. As he began to realize that he couldn't successfully pass the cash to the drive through window without putting the change somewhere, my friend described the process he appeared to go through. He thought of putting it in his lap, but realized that might result in him losing some coins. He tried to find another place to put the change down, then decided to use the next best thing. He put the coins in his mouth. That's when she knew things wouldn't work. When she tried to call him out on putting money in his mouth he denied it. Never change, pal.

Ways to Attract the Opposite Gender

I worked at a candy store during college. This job enabled me to meet a large variety of people, including single men. There weren't a large selection of eligible bachelors aimlessly wandering into a candy store in the mall, but the ones who came in made for an interesting job. One day, a nice looking guy came in, browsed the candy for a while, then approached the counter. We talked for a bit and he kept his comments to sarcastic half-truths. He told me he wanted to give my number to his friend, so I gave him my information. A few days later this boy contacted me letting me know that the phone number was for him, not his friend. Obviously. After a long day at work, we met for a date and his honesty continued to dazzle me. He mentioned that he ran away from home at 14, and we later ran into his sister at the movie theater. This is when things started to get good. During the movie I suppose he had made up his mind about not asking me out again. After a few failed attempts at making moves on me he told me the movie was boring so he thought he'd at least try to get some action. Clearly he's a gentleman. After the movie, he decided to get something to eat. We went to a drive through and he ordered himself some food. There were no offers to get me anything, so I didn't bother trying to order. Inconsequentially, I had worn my hair back that day. While he was driving away from the drive through, he asked, "Did you wear your hair like that to make yourself look less attractive?" This, luckily, was the one statement from the night where I knew he was being honest. I had no response to this but I was able to get him to take me home around this point. I then proceeded to tell this date story to everyone I knew.

Blink 182 Was Wrong About First Dates

My very first date was when I was 16. My neighbor asked me to be his date to the Homecoming Dance. We arranged to double with one of my friends and her date. The date began with dinner at a decently nice restaurant in town. Dinner was nice, conversation kept moving reasonably, then it came time to pay for dinner. My date paid for our meals with cash. The other boy went to pull out his wallet and realized he hadn't brought it with him. My date was out of money so I ended up paying for the other couple's meal. He never did get around to paying me back for that.
