“him & her” by Matthew Turner

Submitted to Contest #56

Him I’m early. I’m always early. For everything. It’s better than being late I guess, but if you show up too early you look desperate. And if the place is super fancy, like this one, you get lots of looks from other people and you can practically hear their speculation. Not that I don’t do the same thing when the shoe is on the other foot but still it was uncomfortable. I check my phone for the time. It hasn’t changed since I last checked it forty five seconds ago. I need to stop doing that. It sends the signal that I’m desperate and that...

“Swing and miss” by Jen M

Submitted to Contest #56

“Damnit, Mara.” Teressa cursed under her breath as she spotted her blind date for the first time. The date in question was tall, slender and had the most gorgeous baby face she’d ever seen. Drew would have been perfect in every way in Teressa's eyes, but he was a man. Teressa didn’t even consider him when she looked around the room. Mara had told her that “Drew would be wearing an orange top. You can’t miss it.” and left the rest a surprise. The coffee shop was mostly full of women and Teressa would have beeline towards any of them tha...

“Who's That Guy?” by K Ya

Submitted to Contest #56

Ariah Miller had always been a sucker for romance novels. She had books piled up on her shelves about love and such. Ariah had never been on a date herself, but she was hoping her true love would sweep her off her feet just like in the books. Ariah left her house and went to the nearby library. She searched for romanic novels that she hadn't seen before. "Ariah Miller, up here again? Didn't you just check out a book four days ago? Don't tell me you have already finished it." said the librarian as she walked towards Ariah. Ariah smiled. "Tha...

“Cardigan date” by Kendra Gesare

Submitted to Contest #56

Shivers of insecurity yet a bead confidence in her tiny little red dress, the fact that she doesn’t see who or what to compare to, builds a sense of coziness in her own skin. She smiles and slips the thin cotton cardigan down her shoulders, softly it falls into the ground unnoticed. Days, weeks, months, years she’s always wanted to uncovered her flabby arms, as she thought she had, just to get the cool breeze kisses from mother nature telling her she’s good enough. Finally, thanks to the guy who sits across the table from her, judgment wasn’...

“Blind Date ” by LuAnn Williamson

Submitted to Contest #56

“It’s only a practice date,” her friend Connie’s voice echoed through her mind as she brushed out her long, brown hair. At Connie’s insistence, it had been newly tinted ‘kiss of mahogany’ whatever that was supposed to mean. But it was lush and made her slightly drab brown hair take on a new shine. What’s a practice date?” Hanna, Honey to her friends, had asked rather naively. “Remember I’ve spent twenty eight years out of the dating scene.” “Well, this is your f...

“Perfect match” by Ricky Mae Sutphen

Submitted to Contest #56

“You’ll have a blind date this evening, Katana.” Mom told me while we’re eating breakfast. I stopped my spoon midway and looked at her with a raised brow, an open mouth, and a confused face. “You’re just telling it to me now. Are you serious? I’m not even into blind dating.” “I know that’s why I informed you the same day as the blind date, so you can’t refuse.” She put an egg in her mouth. I stood up and walked to my room. I can’t believe my mom did that. I am so against this blind date thing my mom set me up. I mean, I’m not tha...

“Faceless” by Clementine Daisy

Submitted to Contest #56

MargaritaMargarita walked in the nightclub. Margarita looked around for her date. G.K was to wear a blue tie. That's what she typed under 'identification feature'. Margarita liked the colour blue; but all blues are not the same. The shade and tone he 'd choose (she thought) would carry useful information. She was convinced that a little detail such as ‘vividness’ of the chosen shade could reveal much about his state of mind. For example, electric blue equals passion and liveliness which means he’d be up for anything. Baby blue, on ...

“First Date” by Steve Cripwell

Submitted to Contest #56

‘I love first dates,’ said Tom aloud to himself, as he admired his image in the full-length bathroom mirror. He let the towel slip to the floor and naked, stood combing his wet hair. He padded into his bedroom and sat down on the bed. Blow drying his hair with the Supersonic dryer he’d recently purchased on-line. He ensured that every strand was perfectly placed and then sprayed it with setting lacquer and smiled at himself. His hand mirror showed that the back of his head was perfect too. So many men forgot about the back, he thought. His h...

“Blind Date” by Jenna Van Berke

Submitted to Contest #56

SheI catch a glance of myself in the hallway mirror and hesitate. I look tired, my hair has one of its stubborn days, and I really should get rid of the mustard-colored shirt I’m wearing. I mean, I love it: it has a nice cut, and it’s the most expensive shirt I bought this year, but it somehow makes my skin look an unhealthy green. What a pity that I’ve already bought wool in the same color for the hat I was going to knit for myself.I turn back to my bedroom to change, but then I laugh at myself. As always, I’m already late, and anyway, I’m ...

“SWEET INNOCENT LOVE” by Laiba Rahim

"Not again grandma. I wish if I could band this app," shouted Marina. "What happened did your grandma finally got you a date?" asked Lisa. "Shut up! why doesn't she understand that you can never find your true love on social media apps?" My name is Marina Smith and I'm 23 years old. I live in a small town in Texas with my grandma. My grandma is the greatest support for me in my life. One thing that I hate about her is that she wants me to get married to someone who loves me, I don't understand how to tell her that there is one in...

“No Light without Dark” by Shawna Williams

Submitted to Contest #56

“What can I get you, dear?” I asked the young man who had just sat at a booth alone. “Um.. I’m actually waiting for someone.” he said, glancing out the window. “Cup of coffee, to settle the nerves?” I asked him and the man smiled at me. After settling the man with a cup of coffee, I returned to the counter and began wiping it down. It had been a slow night, just a couple truckers and a few lonely souls, but now I was excited. I smiled at a frazzled looking woman who came blowing in the doors, her beautiful brown hair flying everywhere ...

“The blind date” by Surabhi Krishnamurthy

Submitted to Contest #56

'Was this a giant mistake ?' She wondered out loud. He was so handsome. Had graduated with honours from the most prestigious Harvard University. Earned a decent livelihood from his teaching job. No known addictive habits. Seemed like a perfect match for her. But, something was amiss. And she couldn't pinpoint what it was. She was a simple girl with simple dreams. Having graduated from the municipal college, she had taken up a job at the local preschool. Working with children helped her revive a childhood she never really had. Having lost h...

“The Dating Project ” by Rana's Passion

Submitted to Contest #56

Emma P.O.V I’m not someone who enjoyed dating. I didn’t like those moments before a first date filled with nervous anticipation and the “what ifs” that worried my mind. It went something like, what if we have nothing to talk about? What if he finds me boring? So what could be worse than a first date? A blind date! And somehow my best friend Jessica convinced me to go on blind dates — that meant no photos, no background information and in some instances, not even a name! But the experience was invaluable. What started as a fun summer proj...

The Last Blind DateEvan walked into the restaurant and sat down, Jonie and Steve, his life long friends, had pushed him into a blind date. They said Elizabeth was a wonderful girl and they knew he would just love her. All he could think of was a college football game that he would rather be watching. Maybe she wouldn’t show, he thought, then he could take the monkey suit off and relax for the rest of the evening in his recliner sipping an IPA.Elizabeth got to the restaurant about fifteen minutes late. She wasn't tryi...

FACTS · 43% of singles say fresh breath matters most before a date · Nearly 40% of men do not feel confident meeting a woman for the first time · Before a man speaks a word, the way he stands (or whether he is slouching or not) counts for over 80% of woman's first impression · 1 out every 4 blind dates is successful ****** Phaustine I am a gambling man, but even for me this might be more reckless than daring. Regardless...I prefer to think of it as high risk/high retu...
