The Top 3 Worst Casual Dates You Should Stay FAR Away From

In This Article:

Dates are tricky, there's no denying that. However, some are notoriously worse than others, so here are the worst three that I would stay the fuck away from at all costs.

1. Blind dates

Maybe it's just me, but I have NEVER been on a good blind date. As much as I appreciate my friends trying their best to set me up with a "nice guy", the dates always turn out to be more like "50 Shades of Awkward than Love at First Sight", or even Mutual Attraction at First Glance. If you've ever seen "Gilmore Girls", imagine I'm Lorelai and my date is Rune... the only way the night ends is with regret and not the good kind. To anyone thinking of going on a blind date in the near future- don't.

2. JUST a movie

Movies seem to be synonymous with "Let's go home together" in the dating world, but nobody ever told me that fun little dating rule, so it took me a while to realize it. If you're reading this and your go-to date idea is a movie then for the love of God please be clear with your intentions. If you want to sleep with someone, just lead with that. If you're like me and are oblivious to that date tactic, do yourself a favor and just ask. I promise it won't be that weird- worst case scenario you don't go out and best-case scenario you get what you want out of the date.

3. The free date... for the other person

Have you ever been on a date and felt like you were cheated out of everything? And no, I'm not just talking about the energy that you put into it, but your money and time. There is nothing worse than paying for the whole date, including gas money/an Uber, especially when the whole night was your date's idea. Paying for dinner, a movie/bowling/a show, and then the car that will get you the hell away from such a scam is the WORST. As much as I want people to see the best in each other, you should definitely keep an eye out for that "I left my wallet at home" red flag.

Sure, there are plenty of other bad date ideas, but as long as you can bypass these terrible ones then you're on the right track to a successful (or at least less awkward) first date.

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.
