5 KINDS OF DATES YOU GO ON IN COLLEGE (TheGloss.com)
The One After You Slept Together: Oh, now it's morning! And you are doing something so it doesn't feel sordid. That something is going to be eating pancakes while wearing a dress from the night before, probably hungover. Do you mention the sex? Do you not mention it? Here is a good way to handle it: say "these pancakes are nice." It's a euphemism. Then just stay silent and say nothing else for the entire meal.
The One Where He Watched Romantic Comedies: There's going to be some weirdly earnest guy who is going to have been told that girls don't want to go on a BORING date so he is going to orchestrate the best date ever, as shown by independent romantic comedies. He's going to take you to a carnival or something, which is great, and then he's going to give you a flower which shoots water, which is cute, if, you know, a bit much. Then he's going to tell you that you're going to have an elephant ear contest and you're going to be like "I don't like elephant ears" but he doesn't care, and then he's going to tell you that from now on your going to talk in the weird European accents they used in 'When Harry Met Sally' which is awful. Just awful and uncomfortable. And suddenly you realize that this is no longer an independent romantic comedy, this is a horror film with carny music playing in the background. Continue pretending to enjoy yourself while desperately scanning for exits. Realize there is no exit.
The Date With The Dude On A Wife Hunting Mission: You're going to, at some point, say "I should stop hooking up with dudes and having uncomfortable breakfasts at the Donkey Diner, I will go out with this boy who tucks his collared shirt into his pants." And you will, and then you will realize that he is interviewing you for the position of wife, right there, at The Donkey Diner. He will start off subtly by saying things like "I like kids!" and you will be like "me...too." Because you're no monster! And then he will say "how many would you want?" Reply "43. Or at least enough to form a small land army and take over Georgia" and let him take it from there. If there a lull you can say "these pancakes are nice."
The Mass Date: If you are in a sorority - well a sorority's purpose is sort of to organize these kind of large group dates. Oh, and give you umm... valuable networking connections later in life. You will be paired up with someone who is a friend of someone's so you don't have to go to the formal ALONE and someone (hopefully not you) will cry hysterically in a bathroom and you will have to comfort them. Also, someone will vomit. Maybe the crying girl, maybe not! There will be very little time actually spent in the presence of your date.
An Actual Good Date: It will probably happen without any planning whatsoever. All of a sudden, you'll just be eating cake and drinking coffee and saying things without planning them out and it will good. When you graduate, this is what all dates will be like. (Hah! That was a funny for you, everyone who has graduated from college).
