“It's the little things” by Palash Jhawar

Submitted to Contest #56

Anna “What do you mean I don’t date enough?”, a slightly hyper Anna asked her friend. Rita continued to give her the look, completely unaffected by Anna’s outburst. She just put up her hands and indicated everything in Anna’s vicinity. “Look at yourself, Anna. You are at work on a Sunday morning. For the past 6 months, I have seen you put in 80 hour weeks. You really need to get out more”, exclaimed Rita while maintaining her death stare. Anna broke her eye contact and looked around at her cubicle. Her cubicle was all she had been seei...

“A "Professional" Matchmaker” by Velma Darnell

Submitted to Contest #56

***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 with ‘their lovely friend’!” A boy sent it, scratched his head,...

“Dating After The Fall” by Nicole B

Submitted to Contest #56

“Are you sure this is necessary?” Camilla asked, whooshing out a breath when her sister tightened the sash around her waist with a tug. It was tight, gaudy orange and tied in flippant bow that Camilla wanted to cut off and stuff inside her sister’s pillowcase. “Of course I am. Who is the one with the husband, here?” Grace scoffed, giving another tug, just for spite. “He’s a darling and likes books. Just your sort.” “Besides, isn’t it lovely that he agreed to take you out on such short notice?” Annabelle, their youngest sister sighed from her...

“It Goes Like This” by Kevin Leonard

Submitted to Contest #56

I found her note while hiking. It was just as I had sat on a stone off the main trail, stopping for a drink and a chance to listen to the forest without my footsteps. I had come to the forest to lose myself, and was growing frustrated at how relentlessly that self followed anyway. I’d just finished my water, and was cursing myself for having not brought enough. As I took my rag and wiped the sweat from my face I saw a glisten of light reflected from under a set of ferns nearby, daring me not to notice it. I walked over and picked it up. A sl...

“Love Makes You Blind” by Bruce Charles

Submitted to Contest #56

From the moment you walked through that door, I knew I had to have you. Our eyes met and it felt like time had stopped for us, like the world had ended and we were the only two in existence. And I was okay with that. The idea of spending an eternity with you and only you not only made sense, it felt right. You walked towards me, your dress billowing as you walked. My mind worked overtime just to take in every little detail of you. I saw a cut on your finger, I counted the eyelashes on your face, I noticed the glimmer of the gloss on ...

“No!” Shelley yelled into the phone. “I am quite happy, I don’t need a blind date!” Her best friend Beth, was adamant. “Yes you do!” “You told me only yesterday, how you get lonely sometimes!” “I was exaggerating!” Yelled Shelley. “Too late now.” Said Beth. “I already have a guy lined up, and waiting to meet you!” “What?” “No, you can’t do this to me!” Yelled Shelley. Beth had already hung up. Shelley regretted she had ever let Beth know how she really felt. While Shelley ranted and raved about not needing anyone, her so-calle...

“Blind Introduction” by Moji Sola

Submitted to Contest #56

She didn’t want to do this. She didn’t want to be here. She hated blind dates; they were so uncertain. None of the parties involved knew what they were going to get, they just hoped for the best. Well, she wasn’t a big believer of hope. Ava Sommers was a practical woman. She never relied on hope, never has, never will. Which was why this date was giving her the jitters. She wasn’t worried about the looks, God knew she had her fair share of beautiful assholes, she was more concerned about the attitude. She could handle that too, sure, but she...

“I Hope You Dance” by Ken Coomes

Submitted to Contest #56

“Welcome to another episode of Love is Blind. I’m Kevin Bloom, your host, and moderator. And I’m still not related to Orlando.” Kevin waited a few seconds while the live studio audience chuckled. “Tonight I’ll be talking with Blake and Miranda about their blind date last night. And in the second half of the show, we’ll bring Beatrice and Janice back after their second date, and find out how that went. But now, please welcome Blake Litton and Miranda Shambo.” Kevin led the audience in applause, as Blake and Miranda walked onto the set, hold...

“"Oh..."” by S. F. Brooke

Submitted to Contest #56

Jessie walked into the restaurant, anxious but excited to meet her blind date. Her friend, Peggy, had set it up. Telling her that the man was handsome and charming who had a good job and had been single so quiet a bit of time. Looking at her text messages she went back to check the information, “He’s wearing a dark blue shirt, hmm... okay.” Checking out the fancy restaurant, she made her way to the cocktail bar, sitting at one of the high tables. She felt slightly overdressed with her form fitting pale blue dress — at least she ...

“Blind Date: Two Perspectives” by C Alexis McGregor

Submitted to Contest #56

I suck in my stomach, pull back my shoulders, my reflection in Baldwin's Cheval mirror mimics my wide-eyed expression. This indulgence of silky bra and panties feels cool and caressing on my body. A deep belly breath shoves away my distress, dread, and delight at my impending blind date. On the foot of my bed lay my chosen wardrobe: a long-sleeved, red, comfy dress, a block print scarf to accessory and my neutral flats to finish. Grabbing my crimson shoulder bag my footsteps echo down to the hallway, locking the front door, I enjoy being ser...

“The bridge” by Rodica Niculescu

Submitted to Contest #56

“I stand in front of the mirror and marvel at myself. I'm not the kind of man who's super concerned with how he looks or how I am seen by others. I don't have time, I never had. I always had to run in the race of professional evolution to get out of the swamp that my birth gave me. First I studied and worked, I didn't even have enough sleep time. Then, after I finished my studies, I started the search for jobs, for projects, for gaining prestige and money. This gain was almost my only food, quenching a terrible hunger. In the beginning, it w...

“The Dinner Date” by PK Spice

Submitted to Contest #56

Teresa Persefoni seemed too good to be true and Daniel Bianchi couldn’t believe she’d agreed to go on a blind date with him. He’d tried all the major dating websites over the last few years and he’d never met anyone worthwhile, until now. Daniel had overheard his co-workers in the lunchroom discussing the new dating app that focused solely on personality compatibility and didn’t allow any pictures or physical descriptions. He even loved its name - SimpaticoSynchronicity.com.Sure it seemed like a throwback to old-school internet chat roo...

“prey in eden” by Taylor Pastore

Submitted to Contest #56

-Eve- I haven't been out of the house in a while... It hurts to get out of the stone-cold bed in the morning. It hurts to interact with people. It hurts to get dressed and look at myself in the mirror. It hurts to see myself as the shell of who I once was, cracked from the inside-out. Even so, my friends convinced me to get out and meet someone. They signed me up for some stupid dating app and I found someone eager to meet me, so, despite my reservations about online dating, I mustered the courage to go. Sluggishly dragging myself out of...
