"friend" says "hey let's get dinner" and then at some point you realize they think it is daet when you just thought you were just casually going to eat w/ a bro (i.e. they insist on picking you up, take you to fancy restaurant, insist on paying, etc.) xposts

― tehresa, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 21:15 (sixteen years ago) link
that has resulted in a couple of regrettable make-outs because i was completely confused as to how to create a diversionary situation to get myself out to escapeland basically.

THEN you have to have the "i'm not ready for this kind of relationship...it's not you, it's me, let's just be friends" conversation.
wau dating sucks guys!

making-out b/c of lack of other ideas is always a good way to avoid awkwardness.

lol ok smelling like tacos is an almost as weird excuse for not picking up a lady as the one i heard earlier!

^^i went to college who was a serial surprise-dater
he would always ask female friends if they wanted to go check out the symphony/choir/whatever concert and then suggest they get dinner at the cute little swedish restaurant accross the street from the fine arts performance hall. he'd dress real nice and occasionally the girls would be so caught off guard they'd be in a sweatshirt or something because they were just thinking they were walking from thier dorm to dinner and a cheap concert.
the worst part was that it was a small campus and he's always do the same routine! the girls usually knew eachother!

^^unless you are in a LTR having no date in your situation is a v v good idea. you're family/bridesmaid etc. whoever you bring will just be getting drunk, awkwardly overdressed, getting drunk by himself in a sea of strangers. then you'll have to explain how wierd you family is for days afterwards.
