First Date 🥰 // Oliver & Karlie

Oliver made quick time in packing his suitcase, he had gotten really good at it from all his traveling. He made it to the airport a little too early, who was he, his dad?  He sighed and sat down in the terminal and looked down at his phone. He smiled at the newest message from Karlie, this was the craziest thing he had done for a first date in a long time. It had been a long time since Oliver had been on a date to begin with, so who knows how this date will turn out. Karlie seemed like a really great woman and she was beautiful and funny. He hadn’t been this excited to meet someone in a long time. Oliver was hoping that was a good sign. Finally after what felt like years waiting to board and waiting for the plane to get off the ground he was landing in New York.

He was thankful that he remembered to bring his jacket on the plane with him because damn it was a lot colder than it was in LA. He texted Karlie to let her know that he had landed and was getting a Uber to her place. The closer Oliver got to Karlie’s place the wetter his hands seemed to get. “Oliver… get your shit together, you are a 33 years old man, not a fucking 16 years old..” He took a deep breath and wiped his palms on his pants. He looked up when the car stopped, he thanked the driver as he grabbed his bag and walked towards her building. “I’m here 🥰” He texted her. He looked at himself in the reflection of the door and took another breath “You got this, Oliver, you got this.” @kloss-karliee

° ♡ • ➵ ✩ ◛ °

“ah!” gasping at the sudden downpour, you raised a hand above your head, unsuccessfully attempting to shield yourself from the rain. scrambling to grip miguel with the other, you tugged on his sleeve. 

“we’re gonna get all wet!” 

“c’mere.” miguel laughed as he pulled you gently towards the doorway, brushing the wet strands of hair away from your face.

the coffee shop doorway was our saviour, small yet mighty. it offered you a somewhat cozy safe haven from the rain, fairy lights strewn across the door and vines creeping along the worn brick.

“you ok, cariño?” he laughed softly as he shook the rain out of his hair, now beginning to drip down his neck.

“never been better.” you gushed, trying not to smile too wide as you took all of him in. somehow he’d never looked better.

“ah… fuck. i’m an idiot though - should’ve checked the weather before we came. guess our plans are all ruined now.” he rubbed his neck, frowning slightly.

“hey - it’s not ruined. it’s just… you know. postponed?” you offer, trying to make miguel feel better. you reach up, gently adjusting a few stray pieces of hair from his face. 

he sighed, nodding. 

“you’re right corazón. our plans aren’t ruined. and lord knows i would willingly get caught in torrential downpour a hundred times over if it meant you were there alongside me.” he murmured, looking down at you. reaching up, he traced your jawline gently.

your breath hitched in your throat as miguel gazed at you through thick eyelashes, feeling like you could just about drown in his warm chocolate-brown eyes. his touch on your face was so subtle; yet had an almost embarrassing effect on you. 

“me too miguel.” you smiled back shyly, biting your bottom lip. 

“and hey - this isn’t all too bad either!” you laughed, gesturing to the small frame around you. 

“mhm. not bad at all.” miguel said softly, his eyes not leaving yours for a second. he leaned down so his face was a breath away from yours. 

“can i kiss you hermosa?” he breathed, now looking down at your lips.

“please.”

without a second’s further hesitation, miguel closed the gap between you. kissing you gently yet passionately, his hands trailed down to meet your hip, pressing it against his own. your soft whimpers only drove miguel crazier, slipping his tongue into your mouth. your hands seemed to have a mind of their own, your shyness melting away as they entangled themselves in his thick curls. he groaned against your mouth, becoming sloppier as he heard your own desperation. you threw your head back as you became lost in the pleasure, 

“miguel.” you whined, needing more. 

“i know, i know amor.” he murmured against your neck, nibbling at it gently. he groaned as he withdrew his head slowly, wiping off his mouth with the back of his hand. laughing quietly, he shook his head.

“fuck. you’re gonna make me crazy.” 

you grinned lopsidedly, admiring the flushed look on his face. you rubbed the back of your neck, breathing slowly in an attempt to calm yourself down.

“you’re good at that, ya know?”

he cocked his head, smirking.

“yeah. i know.” he leant back into the wall, crossing his arms.

“and uh… you know it stopped raining right?”

“when?!” you frowned, realising it was true. you hadn’t even noticed the change in weather, too caught up in your own little world. 

“right around the time i asked to kiss you. but uh, we were already pretty occupied so i figured the weather could wait.” he shrugged.

“but now we can actually go ahead with our original plans.” he laughed, grabbing your hand.  

you bit your lip as you looked up at him, trying to hide your huge cheesy smile. 

“yes please - but i’m expecting another kiss. no matter the weather!”

As Fate (or a really weird guy named David) Would Have It (ao3) - husbants

Summary: Phil has been stood up. Just as he’s leaving, a frantic (and absolutely handsome) guy rushes in the restaurant, looking for his own first date.

Maybe tonight won’t be as bad as it once seemed it would.

between the bars. (ao3) - commonemergency

Summary: Dan is a lonely twenty-something year old not really looking for a connection until he finds one, and it's not in the way he expected, in fact he can't really even remember it.

blind date gone wrong?! (not clickbait!) (ao3) - overmyhead

Summary: When Phil gets stood up at a blind date his colleague Bryony arranged for him, he certainly doesn’t expect the evening to end with a kiss in the pouring rain in front of a load of supermarket bins after almost sneezing his brains out.

Blushes and a Cup of Coffee (ao3) - orphan_account

Summary: Phil was expecting one of the stereotypical first questions, ‘what’s your favourite colour?’ Or ‘where were you born?”

Double Date (ao3) - Spring_Haze

Summary: Phil finds himself on a double date at a mini golf course near campus, though he is much more interested in the male half of the other couple than anything else. The boys are left alone to explore their fast new friendship and sparks fly. This is a sweet, funny, and romantic tale of love at first sight that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

Sorry." He concluded, sucking his lip nervously, peering towards Phil.

No One Less Than Perfect (ao3) - CanDanAndPhilNot (enbycalhoun)

Summary: Dan doesn't mind being a single father to his four-year-old Elizabeth, but sometimes he gets lonely. The problem is, he won't settle for anyone who is less than perfect. So maybe, he might just ask Elizabeth's (and maybe his) favorite Daycare worker, Phil on a date.

of blind dates and many mistakes (ao3) - larry_hystereks

Summary: “You've got, um.” Dan reaches over and brushes his gloved hands across Phil’s shoulders, then down his chest. “Like, sorry, snow? It would have melted I guess but then, like, you would have gotten wet, so.” All his smoothness has disappeared and his cheeks have gone pink. Phil can't tell if it's from the cold or from how they're standing nearly on top of each other in the tiny lift.

“Thanks,” he says. His voice is slightly raspy and his body feels very warm where Dan touched him. The lift door opens and they pile out. Dan nods, smiling just enough that his dimple pops as he fumbles in his pocket for his key. He shoves it into the keyhole and rattles the doorknob until it twists and the door falls open.

“Welcome,” he says, gesturing his way into the flat dramatically, “to my humble abode.”

What's the Best First Date Idea to Make a Lasting Impression?

First dates can be exciting and nerve-wracking all at once, but with a little creativity, you can turn them into unforgettable experiences. Here are some ideas to spark conversation, laughter, and genuine connection:

Coffee with a Twist: Ditch the regular coffee shop. Try a specialty coffee tasting at a local café that serves unique, artisanal brews. It's a fun way to break the ice!

Outdoor Adventure: Whether it’s a scenic walk, a bike ride, or a casual picnic in the park, nature provides a relaxed setting that naturally eases conversation and creates memorable moments.

Interactive Experience: Why not join a cooking class or an art workshop together? Learning something new side-by-side is a fantastic way to bond and share laughs.

Virtual Escape: For those leaning towards a virtual meet-up, explore an online museum tour or participate in a quirky quiz that helps you learn fun facts about each other.

Local Culture Vibes: Check out a community event or local market to dive into the city’s culture while enjoying each other’s company.

Remember, the best first dates are the ones that feel authentic and tailored to what you both enjoy. What’s your most memorable first-date experience? Share your story or drop your creative ideas in the comments!

Top 10 Things Women Shouldn't Do During a Date

New Post has been published on https://sistamagazine.co.za/top-10-things-women-shouldnt-do-during-a-date/

Top 10 Things Women Shouldn't Do During a Date

Dating can be a fun and exciting way to get to know someone, but there are certain behaviors that can make or break the experience. Whether it’s your first date or the fifth, knowing what to avoid can help you make a positive impression and build a connection.

Here are the top 10 things women shouldn’t do during a date:

1. Constantly Check Your Phone

While it might be tempting to glance at your notifications, constantly checking your phone sends a clear message: you’re not fully present. Give your date your undivided attention to show that you value their time and company.

2. Talk Excessively About an Ex

Bringing up an ex—especially in a negative or overly nostalgic way—can make your date feel uncomfortable. It may give the impression that you’re not over your past relationship. Focus on the present and enjoy the moment.

3. Arrive Significantly Late Without Communicating

Life happens, and delays can occur, but failing to communicate your tardiness can leave a bad impression. Being punctual demonstrates respect for your date’s time. If you’re running late, send a quick message to let them know.

4. Overdo Personal Grooming at the Table

While a quick touch-up might be necessary, using the table as your personal vanity area is a no-go. Excuse yourself to the restroom if you need to fix your makeup or hair.

5. Dominate the Conversation

Engaging in a conversation is essential, but monopolizing it can leave your date feeling unheard. Aim for a balanced exchange where both of you share and listen.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

document.write('<a href="https://c.trackmytarget.com/?a=tff010&i=h0oxit" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.trackmytarget.com/?a=tff010&i=h0oxit" width="970" height="250" border="0" />');

document.write('<a href="https://c.trackmytarget.com/?a=ij2cwj&i=h0oxit" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.trackmytarget.com/?a=ij2cwj&i=h0oxit" width="970" height="250" border="0" />');

6. Complain Excessively

Everyone has bad days, but a date isn’t the time to vent about every grievance in your life. Constant negativity can dampen the mood. Instead, keep the conversation light and positive.

7. Drink Too Much

If alcohol is part of the date, it’s important to pace yourself. Overindulging can lead to embarrassing situations or give the impression that you’re not in control.

8. Be Rude to the Staff

How you treat others, especially service staff, speaks volumes about your character. Rudeness or impatience can be a major red flag for your date. Be polite and gracious, regardless of any hiccups in service.

9. Bring Up Sensitive Topics Too Soon

First dates (and even early ones) are about getting to know each other, but diving into heavy or controversial topics can be overwhelming. Save discussions about politics, religion, or personal traumas for when you’ve built a stronger connection.

10. Pretend to Be Someone You’re Not

Authenticity is key in any relationship. Pretending to enjoy activities you dislike or agreeing with everything your date says just to impress them can backfire. Be genuine, and let your true personality shine through.

Final Thoughts

Dating is all about building a connection and having fun. While it’s important to avoid these common missteps, remember to relax and be yourself. After all, the right person will appreciate you for who you truly are.

By steering clear of these pitfalls, you can ensure your dates are enjoyable and meaningful, paving the way for deeper connections. Happy dating!
