My first date was sooooo embarrassing!
I was 14 and my friend and I met a couple of boys at our local dance. My friend was a chatty, confident type of girl but I was painfully shy with boys. Anyway, we arranged to meet these boys on a Saturday down at our local coffee bar. I remember the day as if it was yesterday ...... whilst my friend and her new bf chatted and laughed easily together, I couldn't think of a thing to say to the boy I was with and we ended up not speaking at all.
The daftest thing is I felt as if I was the one at fault not being able to think of anything funny (or anything anything at all, really) and that I was the failure.
Of course, looking back, I didn't realize that it wasn't my 'fault' at all! I mean, where was the rule written that making conversation was all up to me? What was up with the boy's tongue?!!
