21 Thoughts We All Have When Going On A First Date
GQ

Most of us can agree that a first date can be the most terrifying step of a relationship — and one that can make or break what might follow. I mean, whether or not your future significant other is just as obsessed with "Friends" as you are could be a deal breaker. That being said, guys and gals usually have completely opposite thoughts which is why, for the purposes of this article, I asked a group of friends to give me the top things on their mind during a first date...

1. Is this a date?

This may or may not be an important question.

2. Is my hair OK?

Fluffy hair galore.

3. I hope he watches *insert TV show here*.

Meanwhile, I'm here hoping he watches *insert 30 TV shows* here.


4. Is there something in my teeth?

Let's hope it's not green.

5. Does my breath smell?

Because we all know this breath test is effective.

6. Did I smear my makeup?

We're all beautiful in our own way, right?

7. What if he’s a serial killer?

"Oh, that would never happen," I say as I put a pocket knife in my thigh holster, pepper spray in my pocket, and a taser in my purse.

8. I hope he smells good.

He better.

9. I wonder if he’s been arrested.

"Is this a date?" may or may not be an important question. This, on the other hand, is definitely is an important question.

10. Is this worth a second date?

Or not.

11. I hope I'm dressed right.

*laughs nervously and backs away slowly

12. Who’s paying?

Don't look at me.

13. Ok, no spaghetti or ribs or anything messy.

It's not true love unless he's seen you eat a hamburger.

14. I wonder if he's Facebook stalked me yet.

I bet he has.

15. I wonder if she knows I Facebook stalked her.

I bet she doesn't.

16. Are my jokes bad?

Her face says it all.

17. I bet she's checking me out.

Anything about flirting would be incomplete without a "How you doin'?" gif.

18. Why did she order like no food?

Must. Not. Ruin. Lipstick.

19. Should I kiss her?

Unless you want this to happen, it's definitely a good idea to ask this question.

20. I hope she has a good sense of humor.

A good sense of humor is the best remedy to any situation.

21. I wonder if she’ll have a burping contest with me.

According to my friend, this is something that might cross a guy's mind. Words fail me.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
