“A Different Date.” by Marsha Webb

Submitted to Contest #56

Lisa took a last check of her make up in the car mirror and decided on one more touch up of her lipstick, she ran her fingers quickly through her dark wavy hair and grabbed her bag from the passenger’s seat. After locking the car door, Lisa started walking briskly to the cinema. She had never been on a date that had been set up before; she had always let nature take its course, in a nightclub or on a night out, bu...

“Thorns” by A. S.

Submitted to Contest #56

“Oh my gosh!” Your friend squeals ecstatically as a questionably brilliant idea blooms in her mind. Holding her hands out as if she was trying to capture the perfect picture, she beams and nods firmly. “This will be perfect!” she giggles, cheeks glowing with a rosy haze. You glance at your friend through the reflection of the mirror in front of you, hands clenching momentarily and loosening again. The urge to q...

The last time she had been to Tony’s Steakhouse she had been dumped by her long time fiancé David. “Madam may I take your coat?” asked the ...

“Blind Date or Blind Fate?” by Greg Gillis

Submitted to Contest #56

“Have you ever questioned why life is so complicated?” Jessica asked her best friend, Patricia, (or Patty to her friends). “I mean, why can’t we just get up each day, do what we need to do to survive, and then come home to the perfect family with no concern over what issues may cause the other person to be in a bad mood that day? Do you know what I mean, Patty?”

“From His or Hers Blind Dating Perspectives” by Blane Britt

Submitted to Contest #56

I’m at the age (42) where most of my male and female friends are married. Its not like I’m not ready to involve myself in a committed relationship. Its just that we haven’t found one another yet. Once you read about all the supposedly romantic dates and blind dates I willingly and unwillingly attended you’ll see exactly why I’m still single. In truth I could use a tax break if you know what I mean. I met a woman ...

“A Blind Date” by Philip Clayberg

Submitted to Contest #56

Jorge: “I wish I had not agreed to this. But my parents think it is better than staying at home another night, reading one of my new books. There's a website that has been printing and selling some amazing books by new, up-and-coming authors. Oh, why do I have to go out instead?”Frances: “This is just dumb. He'll take one look at me and think I'm ugly, then turn around and walk away. This is so utterly pointless. Maybe I can just excuse myself after a few minutes and go home. I just hope it won't hurt his feelings.”<...

“Two Sides To Every Story” by Trinity Womack

Submitted to Contest #56

Derek approached the quaint café where he was set to meet his blind date. He felt nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous for the awkward interaction that would surely come about, but excited for the chance to meet someone new. He knew so few people and was very far from having a girlfriend, due both to his shyer nature and bookishness, but also because no one really enjoyed his company. Which made him wonder why...

“Mike meets Nan” by Madisson James

Submitted to Contest #56

Nan was ready. She looked herself over one more time in the mirror. She was ‘hot’! Not ‘hot’ in the way her teenage male students at Rocket High School referred to the mini skirt, breast bulging female classmates, but rather to a mid-forties mature eye. She glossed her lips one more time smacking for good measure and then dabbing with a napkin after. She thought of her old television icons Jane Fonda, Doris Day ...

***Aaron***A young man woke up from the sound of the incoming message on his phone. He took it, blinking, as the screen seemed too bright. There was a message from his friend, Meggie:“Hey there, friend! Today is the day you’ll find out what love is! Ready for this adventure, Aaron?” “Oh gosh, it's tonight,” though a guy, sighing. He unlocked the phone and replied:“Hey, please remind me not to tell my folks that I’ve never kissed a girl because they would make me go on dates...

“There's Nothing Wrong With Cake” by Joshua Scott Hotchkin Wordpress.dungherder.com

Submitted to Contest #56

It is a Tuesday night smack dab in the middle of an unusually snowy winter in Denver. Because of this there is almost nobody at the pub when Chazz arrives, which allows him to take possession of the corner booth near the back, the one he and his friends call the Mafia Booth. The few patrons who have made the trek through the blizzard to be here are sitting at the bar, playing some kind of trivia game. He recognizes a few...

“Silver lining” by Ankita Chaurasia

Submitted to Contest #56

Ava's naturally curly hair tumbled out of the wig as she yanked it off for what seemed to be the hundredth time. Next came off the chunky, dark glasses. Just as she was about to wipe off the shadow of a kohl moustache from her otherwise waxed upper lip, she changed her mind again. She wanted to follow through on what she thought was a genius plan, but a nagging voice in her head, which curiously sounded a lot like her friend Ashley's, kept telling her to not mess this up. "You're 33! For Chrissakes get yourself a decent guy," she mimicked...
