We’ve all had those polite conversation dates when everything is ‘la la’ and beautiful. But in your mind, you’ve counted every second of every minute that has passed. ‘’Cuz damn! You’ve got yourself a boring date.”
So save yourself and perhaps try to be honest on your date. And remember, if you don’t like your date, give him/her a side hug. Always works!
Boy: I’m really awkward, handshake karu ya hug? Despo nahi dikhna hai na.
Girl: Hmmm.
Boy: Wow, you’re prettier in real life than your profile, yeh line sab pe kaam karti hai.
Girl: I want to, but won’t make a comment on your receding hairline, ego ko thes jo pohoch jayegi.
Boy: Wine order karu, fancy dikhne ke liye ya wahi hamesha ka buy one get one free old monk?
Girl: Tumhare beer belly se favourite drink toh pata chal gayi, I hope you never find out meri capacity kitni hai.
Boy: Chat pe bada stud bana tha but face-to-face mein frankly fatt rahi hai baat karne mein. But I’m going to crack a few ratey huye jokes to appear confident.
Girl: Thank god tumhare jokes sexist nahi hai, warna beta ye date yahi khatam.
Boy: Achcha, joke toh do peg ke baad niklega, ab thoda Tump aur Modi talk ho jayega, smartness jo dikhani hai.
Girl: Wow, why do you think I’m interested in politics? Mera surname Goswami hai issliye? I don’t care what the nation wants to know.
Boy: I want to know about your Exes but kaise poochu. Main toh virgin hoon, Salman bhai jaisa.
Girl: Dude, don’t ask me about my exes. Sham kam padegi.
Boy: I am going to look at my watch not because I want to pause time. But because last metro miss nahi kar sakta. Bill please.
Girl: I’m not trying to escape the bill, but I need to ask my girls where’s the next party? I’m going to use the restroom.
(Back from restroom)
Boy: Ab chivalry toh dikhani padegi. So here, I’ll place my desi Co-operative Bank wala credit card, hoping for some corporate discount.
Girl: Quickly check out the card. Compare it with my previous date. Isse toh Rajori wala sahi tha.
Girl: Chal you know I will say, let’s keep in touch. But of course I will ignore your calls.
Boy: Dekh, I didn’t mind this date. I’ll call you agle weekend but because I’m chindi, I’ll WhatsApp call, free hai na.
Boy: If she gives me a side hug, this is over.
Girl: Bro, you’re not getting anything more than a handshake.
Boy: Wow, this is so over!
Girl: Where are all the good men? I should just get a dog.
