“We were in middle school, and this boy asked me to the movies. His dad drove us, and he sat in the front seat and I was in the back, and it was awkward. Then we arrived to the movie theater, and his whole family was there.” Joie Karas, WTMC Math & Science
“We were on our way to the movies and my car broke down on the highway. My friend’s dad passed by us and texted if that was me, and then he picked us up. We ran out of time [for the movie].” Drew Maguire, Kinesiology
“My best date was going to New York and then to a nice restaurant. I don’t think I have a worst date.” Shack Reese, Business
“So I went out with this guy – big car dude. I got out of the car and shut the door. He said, ‘Don’t slam my car door like that.’ I laughed like, ‘Haha, he’s not serious.’ But then he was like, ‘I’m serious, don’t ever do that again.’ I deleted his number as soon as I got home. The best date was with my fiance. We met on Tinder and went to a Mexican restaurant.” Allison Wright, Nursing
“First one that comes to mind is: I have an ex who wanted to take me out on a two-year anniversary. He set aside a few hundred bucks for it, then lost it and expected me to pay for it. I broke up with him later.” Spencer Li, Biochemistry
“I went to my ex-boyfriend’s house — obviously ex-boyfriend. He put his arm around me and leaned over to kiss me, and I hid behind the couch because I didn’t want to kiss him. I spent the rest of the date awkwardly eating pizza with a fork because his mom gave us knives and forks for pizza.” Johanna Walder, Nursing
“My best date was the date I asked my wife to marry me.” Josiah Carr, Pre-Engineering Transfer
