Why do we put ourselves through the torture and agony of the first date? Are the stomacahe flips really worth that first kiss at your door step... well dorm door. I seem to think so. It's kind of rare to go on an actual date at this college. Normally, it's just referred to as chilling because no one wants to make the jump. The fear sprouts from commitment issues, phallus indulging, or all of the above. What's the worst that can happen? Sure there are things that can go wrong, but we're human. Let's say you trip and it's pretty mortifying, if your date is worth your time in the first place they won't be repulsed because you're a klutz. They will find you hysterical, laugh at you, and ask if your okay. (I definitely would lol) Making that plunge isn't the worst thing in the world. At worst and best your finalizing what you really want and don't want in someone which is always an experience. So just enjoy it for what its worth, I mean you never know what can happen right? You might meet your best friend in the world. So in honor of first dates everywhere here is a list of the top ten date spots at PSU:
10. Starbucks
9. The movie theatre
8. The Penn Skater
7. Their place/ Your place
6. Chilis
5. The corner room
4. Chipotle
3. Nittany Mall
2. Walk around campus
1. The HUB (Can you say free movie?)
Wherever you choose to go and whatever you choose to do: Enjoy and be safe ;)
I'd just like to add from ECON 102: Never in our lives will the dating market be as efficient for us as it is in college. You have the best chances of finding a life partner because of the numerous interaction possibilities at the lowest possible cost. So yes, take advantage of this anytime. Unfortunately, once you turn 21 first dates tend to become obsolete and are replaced by conversations in a bar. However, that doesn't mean that you can't go on a date in the next couple of days after meeting at a bar.
ReplyDeleteI think we all try not to make a big deal out of a first date, but we end up doing it subconsciously. Since we're obviously interested in a further relationship with a person, it creates a certain amount of anxiety, and you can't just wish anxiety away. That being said, State College's atmosphere definitely creates a more relaxed attitude in regards to dating.
