21 Thoughts We All Have When Going On A First Date
GQ

Most of us can agree that a first date can be the most terrifying step of a relationship — and one that can make or break what might follow. I mean, whether or not your future significant other is just as obsessed with "Friends" as you are could be a deal breaker. That being said, guys and gals usually have completely opposite thoughts which is why, for the purposes of this article, I asked a group of friends to give me the top things on their mind during a first date...

1. Is this a date?

This may or may not be an important question.

2. Is my hair OK?

Fluffy hair galore.

3. I hope he watches *insert TV show here*.

Meanwhile, I'm here hoping he watches *insert 30 TV shows* here.


4. Is there something in my teeth?

Let's hope it's not green.

5. Does my breath smell?

Because we all know this breath test is effective.

6. Did I smear my makeup?

We're all beautiful in our own way, right?

7. What if he’s a serial killer?

"Oh, that would never happen," I say as I put a pocket knife in my thigh holster, pepper spray in my pocket, and a taser in my purse.

8. I hope he smells good.

He better.

9. I wonder if he’s been arrested.

"Is this a date?" may or may not be an important question. This, on the other hand, is definitely is an important question.

10. Is this worth a second date?

Or not.

11. I hope I'm dressed right.

*laughs nervously and backs away slowly

12. Who’s paying?

Don't look at me.

13. Ok, no spaghetti or ribs or anything messy.

It's not true love unless he's seen you eat a hamburger.

14. I wonder if he's Facebook stalked me yet.

I bet he has.

15. I wonder if she knows I Facebook stalked her.

I bet she doesn't.

16. Are my jokes bad?

Her face says it all.

17. I bet she's checking me out.

Anything about flirting would be incomplete without a "How you doin'?" gif.

18. Why did she order like no food?

Must. Not. Ruin. Lipstick.

19. Should I kiss her?

Unless you want this to happen, it's definitely a good idea to ask this question.

20. I hope she has a good sense of humor.

A good sense of humor is the best remedy to any situation.

21. I wonder if she’ll have a burping contest with me.

According to my friend, this is something that might cross a guy's mind. Words fail me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
