1. What will I wear?
Probably the biggest first date panic, us women need at least 24 hours to decide on what we're going to be seen in. Even once we've made our choice, there will be constant doubts throughout the date itself over whether we made the correct decision. And the day after. And probably for eternity.
2. What if they don't turn up?
What if they have second thoughts? What if they get a better offer last minute and I'm left waiting in the cold, shivering pathetically in the middle of the street like an abandoned Chihuahua?
3. What if they're nothing like I remember?
I was off my face on Jagerbombs and cheap blue shots at the time I met them. What if through the drunkness, I constructed the perfect partner in my mind? The reality could that they're just a very convincing crab.
4. What if they hate me?
All I have to do is not reveal that mass murder spree I went on in 2012 and everything should be OK.
DURING THE DATE
5. What shall I order at dinner?
A lot of thought goes into choosing what to eat on a date. Steak will make us look like greedy animals, messy spaghetti is ALWAYS a no-no, we'll come across as dull if we go for the salad. If it takes us more than eight minutes to choose what to eat, the best option is to drop the menu and run out of the door.
6. How far shall I take my flirting?
It's not always easy to read the signals. Shall I keep it to the basic hair twisting, suggestive eye contact, stripping naked in the middle of the cinema and pouncing on them, or shall I make my interest a little more obvious?
7. Do they like me?
They haven't said "I love you and want to have all your babies" and we're already two hours into this date. Like, WTF?
8. Why aren't they walking me home?
They hate me. They don't care whether I get brutally murdered on the way home or not. Unbelievable.
9. Why are they walking me home?
Ugh. Creep.
AFTER THE DATE
10. Why haven't they texted me?
Obviously it's up to THEM to make contact with US. There's absolutely no way we can make the first move, that would be insane.
11. Shall I text them?
The date was yesterday and I haven't heard from them yet. It wouldn't hurt to send a text. Maybe a phone call. We could always take a little trip over to theirs and stand outside their home screaming our devotion for them. play it cool, play it cool.
12. Is it too soon to be naming our children?
I still haven't heard back since our first date but I should probably start planning our future together, just to save valuable time.
13. Are they dead?
Two weeks have passed and they haven't responded to my numerous attempts to make contact. The only logical answer is that they were involved in a horrific accident directly after our first date. RIP, my love.
