Dear Hivers,
A date (whether it's on Valentine's Day or not) is typically for couples and hence someone you are interested in. The stories this month will prove otherwise. A third or more parties present is usually a good indicator that the date is not going according to expectations. However, there can be a myriad of other occurrences that can throw things into disarray.

A blind date ordeal. Neoxian prompt #26. by
"I have heard of the concept of blind dates and even seen movies about it but still I dived my full self into it after much pressure from my friend who couldn't wait to pin me to one guy because of jollof rice and aso-ebi😁. I didn't use any online dating site to get a blind date. Isioma my friend and roommate linked me up with a guy from her church. I felt that since the guy was known to her then he must be a manly and understanding person but my oh my, was I wrong"
From Butterflies to Brutal Rejection Instantly by
I was sitting on my own unprovoked when my brother came into my room talking about, "My friend's brother saw your picture on my phone and liked it. He said I should connect you to him." Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have agreed to sharing my number. But naive 16-year-old me was excited that a boy asked for her number. I immediately told him to go ahead while simultaneously trying to play it cool.
It’s 1 am already and I can’t bring myself to sleep, I have been tossing and turning for hours and the only thing on my mind is the disaster that occurred yesterday. How do I delete yesterday from my memory and also from the world? How do I get past this terrible experience? How do I bring myself to love again after all these? This and many more troubled my mind as I lay in my bed, seeking answers that I could never find and finding solace in the confines of my bed.
It was supposed to be a memorable date by
Among the few dates I have experienced, one stood out among them, and it was the worst. Not just the worst in terms of a mere experience, but it was a very serious, damaging, and embarrassing outing.It happened when I was in school. The lady I had been crushing on finally agreed to go on a date with me, and I was very happy about it. I felt on top of the world and was ready to do everything and anything to make the day a memorable one for me and possibly for her too.
The Night I Almost Didn’t Make It Out by
I still try to convince myself it never happened. If I don’t think about it, maybe it will fade into nothingness, like a bad dream upon waking. But some moments refuse to be forgotten, no matter how much you wish they would. It was six years ago when I met Sunday a.k.a "Sunny," as he called himself. A handsome stranger in a supermarket near my aunt’s house, where I lived at the time. He mistook me for an attendant, and I let him, just to see where the conversation would go. When he asked for my number, I gave it to him without hesitation. He never called
