First Dates
Best
By Katie Huff
Everyone has that one first date story. You know – your go-to
account when people ask. The one that gets the most “awws” or
maybe the most “ewws”. Either way we all love hearing about them.
Here’s our roundup of the six best and worst first date stories from
students across campus.
“It was my first date EVER with a girl, and I was terrified.
I didn’t know what to wear, what to say or what to
act like in general. All I knew was that I was incredibly
excited to finally go out with a girl and be out of the closet
in general. We were friends in middle school but lost touch
and reconnected when we discovered our college choice (and
sexual orientation) in common.
“I showed up at her apartment and she asked if I wanted
to accompany her to the grocery store so she could cook
us dinner. She bought all the ingredients for a four course
meal and I, ever the gracious and generous date, supplied
a single bottle of cheap Pink Moscato. We returned to her
apartment where she cooked us a ridiculous amount of food
ending in a dessert of heart shaped cupcakes. I know it
sounds cheesy, but had you been there, you’d agree that it
was adorable.
“Despite any awkwardness I feared could happen, we had
an incredible conversation that never missed a beat. We dated
for over a year and are still great friends to this day.”

“My ex-boyfriend is a pilot, and one day I was really wanting
to go play with puppies. He wanted to surprise me and
told me to wear a dress. It turns out, he had rented a plane.
I was blindfolded the whole ride and even though I was petrified,
we were only in the air for 45 minutes. Once we got
off the plane, we got in a cab and drove to this random
house. I then found out that the house belonged to a breeder
and we were going to see puppies. After playing with all of
them there was one that I just knew was the one.
“We ended up actually getting the puppy, but we had to
drive back the next day to pick it up. On the way back home
he was like, “Are you hungry?” And of course I said, “Yeah.”
I happen to love hot dogs, and my favorite hot dog place
is about an hour drive away and only a 20-minute flight.
He was like, “Let’s go.” Between fuel and the flight, it was
probably a $90 hot dog. On the way back we stopped in another
city to get ice cream. When we finally got back, there
were flowers, and somehow the breeder managed to bring
the puppy down — it was in a pumpkin when I got home.”
