Chances are you didn't fall in love with the first person you met and live happily ever after. If you did, good for you, but you're missing out on a lot of fun, crazy, people that lead to some pretty amazing stories to tell. The fun part about being in your twenties is that you can date anyone you want without your parents doing a background check or investigating their family tree first.You have the opportunity to meet someone who is exactly like you, or someone who makes you consider the being single for life thing. There are quite a few first date scenarios that you can find yourself in, and from personal experience some are good and some you just kind of want to look up into the sky and whisper to God, "But, why?"
The One Who Is Too Plugged In
You haven't even finished your first drink and they have been on their phone non stop. Live tweeting the funny joke you just said, showing you their most recent tinder matches, reading aloud an email that they "just couldn't believe," showing you their most recent score in fantasy football, updating their facebook status to dinner date hashtag happy, smiley emoji. They are so in tune with their new Iphone 6, they probably couldn't even tell you the color of your eyes.
Hey I Just Met You, and I May Be Crazy
Tell me every person you have had sexual interest in within the last 5 months? Are you talking to anyone other than me right now? What alcohol would make you want to go home with me later? Do you watch porn? My last girlfriend/boyfriend was crazyyy. Do you have daddy issues? My favorite show is South Park, but The Simpsons is a close second. I wear a wedding ring to bars to pick up love interests. Can I see your recent call log?
I'm Yelling Tinder
You meet up with this person at a local bar because you swiped right and they were attractive so why not? This is how relationships work these days right? Good luck with this one.
The Friend Of A Friend
Your friends know you better than anyone and they want to hook you up with someone that would be just perfect for you. They know exactly what makes you tick, they know what you like, dislike, and know all about the many dates that you have been on that have been an epic fail. So when your friends say they have a friend that they would like you to meet, go for it. This date actually turns out pretty awesome.
The One Upper
You will eventually go out with someone that no matter what you say, they have done that exact same thing but ten times better. Oh you can make buffalo chicken dip? I won an award for mine once, So you crossfit? Ha, I can lift a car. You'll either need to excuse yourself to the restroom and dip out the back door on this one, or grin and bear it then pretend that you don't speak english the next time they message you.
The Facebook Messenger
You're probably thinking, who actually goes out with someone that messages them on Facebook, good question, but I did once. The person ended up drinking too much, accusing me of cheating on them (I had just met them 3 hours prior) and yelled at me in the middle of the bar, proceeding to tell me that he was going to kick my door down if I didn't leave with him. Needless to say, I didn't leave the bar, and when I got home that night with my friends he was passed out in front of my apartment door. He apologized the next day via facebook to me and all of my friends. This is a true story.
The Date You Never Want To End
These are fun. It's like you'd rather sit there and hear about their whole life than sit on your couch alone, binge watching netflix, which is a huge step up from where you have been. You all have a lot in common, they are funny, and they don't give off a super creepy vibe. You then reassure yourself that dating isn't so bad and that there are actually some pretty decent people still out there. Thank God.
Being single is supposed to be the time that you meet a variety of different people, grow as a person yourself, and not necessarily settle down, but become one step closer to finding someone that you could enjoy spending more time with outside of a bar or restaurant. Crazy to think about, but sooner or later, after all the people you meet, you'll meet an alright one that will prove to you that not all people are completely bat shit.
