“i made the

mistake of assuming

we were actually on a

date. she certainly didn’t

think so, and chose to

laugh in my face after

the movie ended.”

DAMIAN, 24

“i spilled red wine on

my brand-new polo

shirt. i had nothing to

change into, so we

went back to my house

and she met my

parents while i

changed. Ended up

being okay, though. we

stuck around, took

shots and whipped

their butts at scrabble.”

tehan, 24

“i laughed so hard that

a snot bubble came out

of my nose.”

faizal, 22

“i met her father.

i meant to say

‘pleasure to meet

you’. i ended up

saying ‘i am

pleasure’. ugh.”

janaka, 20

“i once forgot to take

my wallet when i

asked my date out to

a really posh dinner

on her birthday. she

had to pick up the

expensive tab.”

shehan, 24

“not sure how it came

up, but my date was

talking about her hips

when i told her they

were great for birthing.

i did it in a joking/

teasing way, but it was

still a bit cringe-

worthy.”^

salesh, 27

“i threw my phone

across the bar to

demonstrate how

indestructible it was.

i don’t know why

i did that.”

ashan, 19

“i forgot that she was a

vegetarian and had her

try fried rice that

contained small pieces

of bacon.”

kavindu, 21

“i once had to inform my

date that she had got

her period.”

mohan, 22

“we were chatting over

dinner, and i thought i

was doing fine...Until

this guy who was sitting

at the next table

beckoned me over and

said, “i can’t help but

notice you are talking a

lot. you should let her

speak more!”

jason, 24

“i texted the girl i was

with to ask her if she

wanted to kiss me. i

was young and scared,

okay!”

pasindu, 24

“i elbowed her in the

face while we were

cuddling and gave her

a black eye.”

tariq, 23
