Dating for 2 weeks

Dating > Dating for 2 weeks

Attempting to date at 23 years old, in a city full of backwards-hat-wearing, button-down shirt sporting, high-fiving Boston bros has proven to be one of the greatest struggles I have ever faced in my life. Are you still in love with your ex girlfriend? Do you currently have a girlfriend? Do you not care about food and only drink herbal tea? These are all facts that, if told to me up front, could save me a lot of wasted mascara, stress and text messages. Sadly, that is not how the world works, and therefore, we are all forced to go through this same sequence of events at least a few times when attempting to find our mate. There are, of course, those all too common Tinder dates, but those are really in a category of their dating for 2 weeks and would require a whole separate article. If anything like that has happened to you, congratu-freaking-lations. For the rest of us commoners, though, nine times out dating for 2 weeks 10, the match is made under the influence of at least a little bit of alcohol in some sort of public setting. The Scheduling Of The Date Typically the prelude to the making of an actual date happens over the course of a few hours the next day. The two of you will continue this texting conversation over the next few hours, discussing how ridiculously hungover you both are and how great bacon, egg and cheeses are. The Week Of The Date This is the most emotionally turbulent week of the relationship. The day of the date you try to not be excited and remind yourself he could cancel at any moment. Still, you put on a little extra mascara and perfume, just for good measure. It takes you too long to find him, and when you finally do, you're not sure if you should hug or wave, so you end up doing a weird combination of both. You imagine you and your friends discussing how crazy it is that you ended up with a Boston guy because you usually hate Boston guys, and you smile to yourself in the foreseen irony. The conversation is fine for the most part, and he makes a few good jokes here and there. The Aftermath This is where the relationship starts to fall apart. You start to remember little things about him and the date that you found weird and annoying. Why was he wearing his sunglasses inside for so long? And who wears white sunglasses past age 13? Was that a homophobic remark he made at one point or did you hear him wrong? And what was with all that reminiscing about his drunken college days? Also, it was a first date, and he should have paid the 10 bucks for your goddamn drinks. You realize that all you two really had in common was the fact that you both happened to be at the same place on the same night. With them, you knew you wanted a second date. And with that, you decide to stop wasting your time. You think of how you hate when guys blow you off, so you vow not to do the same to him. Photo via We Heart It.
