The Dating Game Making and Breaking Dates ear Diary, Tonight I went on my first date, It was a night I'll never forget. I spent the entire afternoon getting ready. As I was redoing my hair for the tenth time, the doorbell rang. It was Him! My dad answered the door in his undershirt. NASTY! I hurried into the room and we left the house. We walked to his car in total silence. As he shut the door, I felt a tug at my skirt. He had shut it in the car door. What a way to start the night! He started the car and with a squeal of tires, we were off to cruise Kemp. Then his car stopped. We were out of gas. After dying of embarrasment, someone stopped with a gas can and we finally made it to the restaurant. We were so late, they had canceled our reservation, but we finally got to sit down. After we ordered, the waitress brought our tea, and reaching for a cool drink I tipped it over. The tea went everywhere. After we moved to a new table, our food came. He had broccoli with his meal and when he had finished eating he had a green piece hanging between his front teeth. I didn't know if I should say anything or not. I finally said I was not feeling very good and needed to go home. The ride home was very long and quiet. He walked me to the door. I quickly closed the screen door and Boy said goodnight. ff-5 wfjwagf Girl: I'm sorry, lhaue to, uh, wash my God's gift to women.
