    26 Thoughts Girls Have On A First Date

    Awkward. Scary. A sign that maybe you should just accept singledom for the rest of your life and buy a cat. First dates are usually anything but a walk in the park (unless your first date is actually walking in a park).

    1. I have 3 hours to get ready. That should be enough.

    2. I forgot how annoying it is to get ready. Why am I leaving the house again?

    3. I can do this. I can pretend to be normal. At least my hair's on point.

    4. Dating is hard and I'm not even on a date yet.

    5. Ok, I got here 5 minutes early. That's ok, maybe he'll just think I'm punctual and not way too keen.

    6. This place is so crowded he probably can't find me anyway.

    7. Oh god, is that him?

    8. Phew, it's ok, it wasn't him. I hope that guy I was staring at for 5 minutes thinking he was my date doesn't come over now.

    9. Well he's 5 minutes late. He's not coming.

    10. HE'S HERE. HE'S ACTUALLY HERE. HE CHOSE TO LEAVE HIS RESIDENCE AND LOOK AT MY FACE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

    11. Wow that hug was awkward.

    12. I hope this lighting isn't harsh.

    13. I should of stuck with my first outfit.

    14. Ok, question time. I need to think of actual things people talk about.

    15. HE SAID I LOOKED NICE. MAYBE HE ACTUALLY LIKES ME.

    16. Um wtf did he just look at another girl?

    17. The food's here. I'll stay for the food.

    18. I don't even like people.

    19. But he's actually kinda cute. This sucks.

    20. Did I actually just say I thought he was cute?

    21. Is he going to go in for the goodnight kiss?

    22. It's literally all been leading up to this moment.

    23. Ok I'm just gonna pretend like that was good even if it wasn't.

    24. Whatever, he's not going to want to see me again anyway.

    25. Oh well, back to dat couple hatin' life.

    26. Well until I forget about how stressful first dates are.
