GRANGER lancers are starting to experience so called “love”. There are teens who get out of their comfort zone and like going out on dates, but some may have some awkward or even really bad dates with a person. There are several things that could go wrong during these dates. 

Things can go wrong like you getting “catfished”, getting a bad first impression, or even getting a “lecture” from their parents. Here I will introduce you guys to some stories shared by lancers. 

Starting off with Landyn Cassity (11), he mentioned that it was a horrible date for him as he had a personal need to attend halfway through the date. “It was horrible because I had to use the bathroom the whole time and I had asked her if we could just reschedule the whole date, but she insisted and said that we were already here and we already got our food,” Cassity says.

 He thought it was really embarrassing for him and had to leave right away after the date ended. “Her personality wasn’t the very best as she was a horrible person, and the way she talked was as if she was in some California gang and I personally thought that was a turn off for me,” Cassity says.

Cassity said that she wasn’t necessarily ugly or a catfish but her looks definitely did not match with her ugly personality. “I didn’t want to talk to her after that so I ghosted after I paid for the meal and got home,” Cassity said.

“I went to the movies for my date and it was mostly that awkward silence throughout the movie,” Anel Sandoval (10) said. 

She thought that the movies for the first date was a bad choice as it was just awkward and quiet throughout the movie. “I’d say it was a bad date because he was being awkward and he tried to get all touchy and put his arm around me,” Sandoval says. 

Sandoval mentioned that he wasn’t that attractive and he was just awkward throughout the whole movie and didn’t get to talk a lot throughout it. “We were talking for a good four months before we actually went on that date and hung out, but even while talking through messages it was still pretty awkward,” she said.

 Sandoval says it was her worst date she’d ever been on, and it was worse because they were almost the same height and he had told her he was taller but she was basically taller than him. “I ghosted him right after that date because I knew there was someone better out there and who wasn’t as tall as me,” Sandoval said.

Noel Romero (10) says “My date had to leave in a hurry out of nowhere because of an emergency, but before she left I got a lecture from her dad because she wasn’t even supposed to be out and she was at the mall with her dad and she just technically snuck away from her dads side and went with me,” Romero says. 

He mentioned that she gave off a weird vibe and mostly because she wasn’t truthful, and knowing she snuck away from her dad just gave him the idea that she wasn’t going to be honest all the time. “My date wasn’t ugly more or less she was a beautiful girl. My first impression of them was that she had a pretty face,” Romero says. 

Romero says it was a bad date only because of her dad giving him a lecture and her flaw he noticed was that she smelt a little bad. “I didn’t end up talking to her anymore after that and I ghosted her,” Romero said.

This shows that no matter the age or situation one should always be aware of who you go out on a date with, sometimes even do a background check on them and see what type of person they are, and to be sure you want to go on a date with them. You should also not pick awkward places to go out on a date because you might end up in awkward situations and it may lead up to not talking to them again.
