Tinderfella
My worst was about two and a half years ago. I decided to sign up for Tinder and see what happened. Well, I got a lot of messages asking for hookups and very few guys who could actually hold a conversation. There was this one guy, cute as they come—we had what seemed like a great connection and he seemed like a lot of fun. He was that nerdy kind of cute that doesn't come around too often. We talked for a couple months before I felt comfortable enough to meet him in person.

6 Reasons I Love Drinking Wine with My Friends
I love wine. No, like I REALLY love wine. Best part is, I used to dislike wine, but then I met friends who loved wine and guess what, now I love wine. Up until last year I was always more of a vodka and beer kind of girl, only drinking wine on special occasions. Wine made me tired and usually gave me a killer headache the next day, however, I soon learned that those were only side effects of a wine-drinking amateur. A young, naive, inexperienced wine-baby who then gave herself a goal and worked very hard for six months to build up a tolerance. It wasn't always red wines and rainbows, I had my fair share of splitting headaches, dry mouth, and next day nausea, but I kept with it thanks to my super enthusiastic friends. Friends that didn't let me quit, friends that held their wine like a bunch of old Irish men (and no we are all Italian). And then just like that it happened. I enjoyed wine, experimented with it, and soon found my mouth watering over it. Red wine, white wine, pink wine, wine spritzers, you name it, I like it. Something about that fancy stemmed glass, the unscrew of a cork, and the smooth relaxing liquid that now, really gets me going.

That Date
It was September 2014 and I was only 15 years old. I myself had never been on a "proper" date and I really liked this girl I had met at a musical competition. I honestly didn't even think she liked me back but I asked her out anyways and she was immediately asking where I wanted to go and when or what we were gonna do. I hadn't even thought of what we were going to do initially I was waiting to see what she would be interested in divulging in with me. We talked it over and she decided she had some cool places she wanted to show me in the town she lived in. I agreed and sure enough a week later both our parents and ourselves met at and ice cream shop called Sugarbear Shop. First her mother was upset because my dad and I "took too long" to show up. (Keep in mind we lived 45 minutes away from where she did.) She then also brought her little Jack Russel Terrier whom which bit me when I tried to pet because I adore any dog I see. To which her mother replied a chuckle and "he's just playing." She insisted she have my phone number but I hadn't ever have service on my phone. She got angry at my dad for not making sure she could get a hold of me, while her daughter had a perfectly fine phone. She just refused to contact us though. Anyways, my dad was over it and we were too so we went in and bought some ice cream. We made sure to slip out the door on the opposite side of the building to avoid her mother and made our way to the boardwalk across the street. So we're walking, talking, laughing, having a good time and we're making our way to the backside of this cafe so she could show me a waterfall she had seen before. We passed underneath a bridge and I, being edgy as hell, stopped and used the sharpie I had with me to write "butts" on the concrete. I thought we had been alone but someone in the cafe decided they didn't like what I was doing and yelled at me not to damage property. We decided to bolt before they could come outside and yell more. While we were scurrying I climbed a concrete wall and lost my shoe in the water. To retrieve it I had to carefully climb out on this ledge over the water so I could hook it with my toes and get it back. Then we had to run into the woods to avoid getting caught by the person on foot behind us. After that we ended up going into the woods and seemingly anytime I tried to kiss her I ran into a tree or spider web, so I gave up. We were walking along and we heard hooves before I almost got slammed by a giant doe. She said something along the lines of "Look at that deers." I could never get over the silly mistake I kept repeating it to her and making fun. This took like an hour of time so we were walking along and I announced that a slushie sounded good. She and I found a gas station and bought some slushies. We were strolling along and I tried to lean over and kiss her but I lost my grip on the slushie I was holding and it hit her in the boob and broke spilling it all over her from knee to toe. Then I tripped and rolled down the hill we were on into a herd of geese. There was slushie on her and goose shit on myself. Needless to say, I called my dad on her phone and had him come get me. I apologized for all the dumb shit that happened and told her regardless I liked spending time with her. She said she needed to go because it was chilly and the slushie drenched her feet, so I kissed her cheek and we separated. Later that night she texted me and told me that we needed to see each other again and that's when we went on the date in the photo above. It was much nicer than the first time around.

My Worst Date Ever
So, I was asked to sum up my worst date. So here goes. It started with me getting comp tickets to my old Theatre Company's show of Hairspray. I knew a friend of mine had been into me for a while (years), so I figured why not ask him and see where it goes because he's really nice and smart and I like his tattoos.

I'll Be There
So, I know everything seems like it’s falling apart around me, and the sun is nowhere cuz the rain storm is all over me, yet I got a promise to keep. I know I'm the biggest underdog in this story, but I refuse to not keep my promise. When things ended down there, I could have risked it and stayed down there, but I had a promise to keep and I had some unfinished business to settle. I could have stayed in my corner, but I had a promise to keep and I refuse to break the one that means the most to me. This whole storyline ain't no fairytale yet, and all I'm asking for is to be that one person who proved himself and got her to realize her true worth.

#MyWorstDate
Everyone has had a terrible date at some point in their life. Someone more engrossed in their phone than with you, a mouth breather, horrific body odor. You get the drift. Everyone has these horror stories and has swapped them with friends over drinks, laughed, and shuddered together while reliving these memories and proclaiming you've had the worst date over your friends.

#MyWorstDate
Once upon a time, there were two teenagers who were madly in love. They went on dates to the movies, concerts, spent time with each other’s family (quite a bit actually). The problem was, they were never really ALONE. So one night, the two teenagers decided to take the girls dads station wagon and park in a overlook parking lot. It was just them and the sunset. It was the perfect date. They brought a laptop and were watching movies. One movie turned into 3 and they were just enjoying the quiet. A kiss here and there and maybe a make out for a minute.
