On Potential Awkward Dates

I recently had a great date that could have gone seriously wrong, but because I frequently find myself in awkward and embarrassing situations, I was able to coyly finagle myself out of the foreseen awkwardness. Or I just wasn't embarrassed. Either way it was a night full of hilarity with a new person. The evening progressed like this:

"Amy?"
"Yup, that's me. Nice to meet you!"

{Insert 30 seconds of walking behind hostess here}

{Insert Amy sliding on the slippery, wood floor and face-planting it in front of the table}

{Laughs ensue}

Conversation eventually resumed after 5 minutes of laughing, and the waitress asking if I wanted a drink because it would make me feel better.

Then my super cute date knocked his beer ALL OVER the table, making me feel significantly less clumsy.

This was shortly followed by me knocking my entire silverware set on the floor. This may seem minor, however, when a knife, fork, and spoon all clank on a (slippery) wood floor, it attracts a few stares. Then my date suggested that we walk around and find an arcade, which would have been super fun, except that I stupidly wore uncomfortable shoes, so I painfully but gracefully walked around. We called it a night, and he walked me to the car, and ended the evening with the promise of a second date (we really did have a good time).

Then I noticed my phone was missing. Found flip flops in car, and went on a wild goose chase for phone. When phone was retrieved, I did have a nice text from said date.

This concludes what could have been an extremely awkward date, but was really just hilarious. And SO MUCH BETTER than This Date .
