Okay... so I don't know if you can even call this a first date... but I started mentioning this in yesterday's post... so today I'm going to talk about it a little bit more.
An important point to the plot: this was shortly after the Parks and Rec Galentine's Day Episode... and on February 13th I said to my girl friends "Oh my god! We need to do Galentine's Day on February 13th! It'll be so much fun! We can see a movie and get lunch and shop!" So these plans were set in stone pretty early. Then lo and behold: The guy I had been liking forever broke up with his on again off again girlfriend and wanted to go out with me! So we were supposed to see a movie Friday Night with my best friend and her boyfriend at the time... but then he couldn't go then and asked me to go to a movie with him on Saturday.
So my friends were okay that I was going out with him on Galentine's Day- but I was still going to hang out with them beforehand. And they could spy a little to see how things were going... and I was okay with that. So The Dude wouldn't know what was going on beforehand- he would just think its a coincidence and we could just hang out.
And then I was surprised by the MASSIVE group of people there. Maybe it just seemed MASSIVE because I was expecting no one and a bunch of people showed up... but there were A LOT of people and I only knew one girl. I don't want to necessarily say anything negative about this girl... I don't think she's an all around terrible person... but on the very day this was happening she was pretty self involved... I'll get to that a little later.
So yeah... this guy wasn't really acting normal. He just broke up with this girl he was dating on and off again... maybe all through high school at the time? I'm not sure but he was being weird... plus there were people around. And I didn't see or talk to the guy in a while... he was a hard guy to get a hold of at the time for one reason or another... he didn't always have his phone... so it might have just been awkward because it had been a while since we really talked... but it was weird.
Anyway so aside from all this weirdness there was also the fact that the self involved girl had also just started dating someone that had been dating a friend of hers for a long time... and they recently broke up. One of my friends that was there was texting a mutual friend of both mine and The Dude's who had been on vacation at the time and wasn't able to be at this big shindig that was going on. I heard the Self Involved Girl tell the guy "Oh my god, I bet she's texting your ex." Which she wasn't... she was just telling our mutual friend the Horror Story going on with my love life at the very moment. She didn't care about who the Self Involved Girl was or wasn't dating.
So anyway The Dude and I were waiting for the movie to start and we were sort of talking and flirting a little bit and things were still weird- but they felt a little bit more normal between us... like back before when we just liked each other and he wasn't dating this girl... and then I see him texting. And then I saw who he was texting... it was his ex girlfriend. So I felt like CRAP because this guy wasn't talking to me- he was ignoring me to talk to this girl he had already broken up with... and it just wasn't going well.
And then when I talked to him after the date he said he wanted to wait a little while before actually going out and things were weird then... which you know is a fine thing to say to a girl 1) If you actually apologize for being an awful date... which I don't think he did. 2) If it wasn't on frickin' Valentine's Day that this all happened. Ugh it was awful. I listened to Blink 182 all day somewhat heartbroken.
I did end up dating this guy again a month later... if you can imagine- things got worse from there... so I won't bore you with those details... just maybe if you're a guy- don't bring a girl on a group date with a bunch of people she doesn't know... don't date a guy that just broke up with someone... don't date anyone like right before Valentine's Day... just don't do these things... It's all bad. Dating in high school is hard... dating is hard. Life is kind of hard... so yeah.
Bye! Hope this story entertained you guys!
