I went in my first date a few days ago and still bummed out because of how bad it was. Or at least how bad I think it was. I feel like I was too serious. Too “to the point.”

    I picked up all the wrong signals from a straight guy and he brought his friends to what I thought was clearly going to be a date. It was a really boring event that I thought would give us downtime to talk, but instead it was like five vaguely bored people, a guy who still didn't realize I was into him, and me. I endured until the event ended (It was an outdoors thing) and we parted ways.

    I texted him later and apologized for any misunderstandings, and to his credit, he was cool about everything. The most awkward thing though was that it was at a grocery store that I frequently visited because it was so convenient. And then I started going to the one on the other side of town after that. Like a grown up would do.
