• My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Date

    When my journey to love was cut short!

    Written By:

    My parents are quite strict, so when I got to University I decided to really enjoy myself!

    Time to let loose!

    Going out late.

    Fun times.

    Eating what I liked when I liked.

    Sweet food!

    One day, one fine 300 level guy I had become friendly with asked me out.

    Fine boy!

    Me, on the outside:

    Cool. Calm. Collected.

    Me, on the inside:

    OMG! OMG! OMG!

    The day of the date I was so excited.

    So excited!

    I wore my favourite dress, highest shoes and looked like a bad ass.

    Really feeling myself!

    Everything was going great; the conversation, the ambience.

    This is excellent!

    After a while the waiter started walking towards us with our food.

    Finally!

    Out of nowhere, this man tripped!

    HAYYYY!!

    And I was covered in a shower of rice and stew, plantain and chapman.

    I was wearing what I was supposed to eat.

    My date had a blank stare on his face for about 3 seconds.

    “What just happened?”

    Then he started laughing!

    Oh my God!

    I was so embarrassed! And I think 2 grains of rice were stuck in my false eyelashes

    Let the floor swallow me please. Its better!

    I almost started crying but I had to hold it all in.

    As per form big girl.

    I didn’t even get a kiss goodbye from my date!

    So I will stain his outfit with stew abi? No way oh!

    Me whenever my friends suggest we go back to that restaurant:

    So my shame can be complete abi? Useless people
