Once a upon a first kltutzy date

One night in my innocent third LPNNHS days… my crush asked me something I thought was unimportant.

Guy: Are you free this Saturday? Could you accompany me to buy some requirements for our school project?

KG: (without thinking) Sure.

     After an hour or two I realized; what was that conversation about again? I asked my classmates if there is something that we need to buy for a school project, surprisingly most of them answered none. Well, knowing me I didn’t gave it any thought and the days passed. Finally it’s Saturday.  My best friend, Step also asked a favor if I can accompany her to do some paper works at the computer shop.

*I just realized just now while writing this. Why am I always asked by people to accompany them?

    While we are in the mall suddenly I thought that I might have forgotten something. Alas! I remembered I was to accompany my crush to buy something. I and Step rushed to the place where I and the guy were supposed to meet. At first I was hesitant because half an hour had already passed maybe he had gone to buy it by alone. Step told me that I was really stupid. She told that I should have told it to her because it was obviously an invitation for a date. Date?! I laughed hard so much that my stomach hurts. We reached the certain and found him waiting there. I approached him and apologized for being late.

KG: Sorry, I almost forgot it. What are you going to buy anyway because I still need to accompany Step. She is tagging along with us too because she also need to buy something.

Guy: okay, why don’t we first finish Step’s paper works then buy the things afterwards.

    The three of us went to a rental shop but unfortunately Step cannot open the files that she needed. We head to the bookstore and finally she was able to buy the stuff that she needed.

KG: We’ve bought everything that Step needed. By the way what are the things that you needed to buy?

He pulled me to a corner and looked me then he said…

Guy: I just want to invite you to watch a movie with me perhaps?

                                                                  EHHHHHH??!!

  I've never watch a movie in a movie house before so this moment was a total shocker for me. Time froze for a moment. I suddenly heard my parents’ voices…

*Note: This is a flashback. My parents were really not that strict but they constantly remind us about random things about the outside world.

Mama: Never watch a movie.

KG: Why?

Papa: When there is darkness there is evil; when there is light there is God.

      I don’t really know what to do. I don’t want to disobey my parents. Also, watching a movie alone with a guy I think was not really a good idea. I mean I’ve watched plenty of movies already with couples in a movie house and “rarely” nothing awkward happen.

PROBLEM: What to do if someone ask you to watch a movie?

SOLUTION: Have a friend J

KG: Really? Okay then, I’ll tell step to ask her parents that we are going home a little late and then the three of us could go and watch a movie.

Guy: HUH?!

KG: (whispering) Please don’t leave me alone…

Step: Huh? This will be your first date. I don’t want to be a chaperone and for sure he will get mad at me.

KG: Waaah. Please. Promise I will also accompany you to wherever you want. I can’t watch a movie alone with him. Just thinking of it gives me goose bumps already.

Step: Fine.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

       The three of us went straight to SM Southmall. He was aiming to watch the movie “Let the love begin” (ewwww, I am not really a fan of Filipino chick flicks) because he said that as what he heard it was a good movie. Unfortunately, since we were still in high school he doesn’t have enough funds for three people. Instead, the three of us just ate at Mc Donalds.  He confessed to me and wanted to court me. Obviously, he was somehow mad at my best friend because she tagged along; when in fact I was the one who wanted her to stay.

It was really one hell of a dumb experience but sure it was a memorable one.

Must brings:

                                                                  Step and Me

FRIEND!!

Lesson#1: It is not a bad thing to ask where you will be accompanying someone to. (yet until now I still forget to ask)

Lesson#2: Obey your parents.

Lesson#3: Always have a dependable friend that you can count on.

*Some may think that it was pity that I missed the chance of watching a movie in a movie house for the first time. Honestly, I didn’t have any regret. I was actually very thankful. I don’t want to disobey my parents then. I was also really scared. My parents as I stated a while ago weren’t really strict but they never fail to remind us. I always imagined what might have happened if I went there alone with him (I think I was thinking too much then) in the movie house. Honestly, most of the times I watch a movie in groups. Well, but I’ve also watched a movie alone with a guy but he is someone whom I am not romantically attached (I think). He’s also the one in "Some random nigh to remember"  so he’s more of the reliable friend. Defensive mode.

Firs times for some it was really a fun experience but not for me. First time for me was always nerve wrecking. I was a great epic fail in most of my first time experiences. Well, who’s an expert in something that he had only done the first time. No worry, life is a great adventure and it gives us a chance to experience the same things if we wish to. These repeat experiences were not made to happen for us to commit the same mistakes again rather to correct our faults.

Courtship is of a different kind. Honestly, I was invited to watch a movie in a movie house and the reaction was still the same. Its either I have a friend with me or I will make up some excuse to avoid the awkward situation.  Maybe this is part being a full pledged klutz girl. A klutz girl in love was really hard to imagine. Still I know, when the right person comes I think it would be more hilarious than this and its up to him how to make me romantically attached and make me watch a movie with him alone at the same time. *
