Rec | STATING THAT A DATE IS A DATE

I’ve accidentally gone on two dates in the past few months lol I struggle to read the room so I need ”lets hang out” to become “I’d like to go on a date with you” if it is, in fact, a date.

This was a repeated motif in my 20s. and always without fail, i figured it out halfway through the date. and i’d ask… “wait, is this a flirty thing? Are we on a date??” So awkward and NOT transparent. let’s be real and clear y’all

making precise plans from the start

‘Let’s hang out’ sends me into a spiral of infinite possibilities Try: ‘let’s get a martini’ or ‘let’s go see some animals’ or something cute you’ve been wanting to do Don’t overthink it!

Taking yourself out for “errands” before a date so you can say you did stuff when they ask you what you did all day

Are the ”errands” all related to the date (clothes, manicure, etc)? they don’t have to know :)

going with spontaneous plans

As a chronic planner who needs to have things laid out AT LEAST a week beforehand, sometimes you need to let go of scheduling and say yes to going out and hanging with friends.

I’ve fought for too long to be someone with a clean desk—someone I’m not. Do I have space to write? Barely. Do I have candles, lotion, a spoon, perfume, and any pen I want just a few inches from my face? I do
