Brenda Miller has rapid thoughts ranging from her past to her present, while she is waiting on the arrival of her date. The author is persevering her apprehension through words and thoughts, so the reader can have a chance to experience some of her anxiety, “ A man I like is coming to dinner. He’s late. I sit on the edge of my bed, unwilling to stand near the front windows where he might be waiting. My stomach hurts, and is not soothed by the smell of tandoori chicken over cooking in the oven.” ( Miller, 2007. P.387). Miller’s memories are triggered from her senses from taste, smell, sound and sight. Her past memories shape her present thoughts. Her past experiences with rejection and failures had made dating much more difficult for her, as well added to the excitement of dating for her.

Every night I would sneak out to see you, the kids next door would peek out their windows and watch me shaking their heads or offering to help me but I didn’t want it. It was tradition you know, to meet up with each other no matter how far apart we were. I remember the first night we met. I was working in the hospital and you stupidly had cut yourself whilst cooking and needed thirteen stitches, we became friends and then you finally asked me out for coffee. You sure were something to look at, you only came up to my shoulder and had these beautiful blue eyes that you just couldn’t help but get lost in. The date went great except that you nearly spilt coffee all over me but at least I agreed to go out with you again. I remember feeling exhilarated

The sun rising and birds chirping, a fresh a breath air consumed my lungs. It was the start of my junior year at Coral Park Sr. High, and I was ready to enjoy my year with old friends and maybe have a girlfriend. As I pass through classmate and teachers outside the classroom; going up the main stairs in the back of the school entrance, I was interrupted by a wonderful fruity smell. As I turned to see what aroma lured me, suddenly I bumped my head and fell off the stairs. Once I realize what happen, I quickly ran up to the girl and held her hand; her hair was covering her face at that time so I didn’t pay so much attention. Ring! Ring! Ring! The bell rung and I was late. I apologize to her and told her that I would invite

Before I embarked on my mischief, my date and I ordered our meal and I excused myself to go to the washroom to wash my hands ready to consume my food. I had every type of feeling running through my head. I was feeling anxious, scared, weird, and stupid for the most part of the date

I rose from my bed with the sun shining in my face. The previous day I had a friend spend the night, so we woke up, the first thing that we did was play some video games for an hour. Then as we were playing I realized that we were gonna meet other people at the skate park, a person there was a professional, amateur, skater!!! So we got dressed real quick had some cinnamon bun’s then left. As i was packing up I brought my skateboard, which I was trying to get better at by asking people at the skatepark to teach me, and my scooter in case I wanted to just chill and ride.

Growing up in the United States and with its customs, what we could call a normal teenager would hope to go on dates. What is a date ? A date is simply the fact of going out with someone, preferably for a meal like society would define it, which could then be followed by other dates, and become a possible relationship. The fact of going on a date could be listed as a cultural sign because of it’s popularity for decades.

The story begins by telling the reader using words like, “you”, “your” as a way to tell how to behave properly depending on the date’s ethnic background. At the beginning of the story, I struggled who is the narrator talking to? But it was clear to me that this short story is intended to be read by a Dominican-American. Diaz discusses how a man should treat different women of different races. Some examples of these stereotypes from the narrator suggests white girls are somewhat slutty and will give into sex on the first date. In addition, the narrator paints Yunior’s social status as poor when he says, “Clear the government cheese from the refrigerator.” Perhaps he feels embarrassed to reveal his true identity? Need to impress a “hot”

When I came back to Waterford last year the last thing I thought was going to happen was that I was going to get a boyfriend. I was 13 years old when me and my Ex first started dating, and my mom was really against me dating, I mean she and my dad were SUPER anti-boys, but at that moment I didn't really care what my parents had to say because I wasn't really happy with anything at the moment I was really depressed and I thought having a boyfriend would make me happy. Just like the tacky love stories we said we loved each other right away without really thinking. It was a very awkward with nothing but smooching and literally no talking, but we continued to say we love each other. My mom found out right away that we were dating and was furious,

I ran as fast to my house and looked inside my closet to see what to wear and, I couldn't find anything so, I went to a expensive store to by myself a dress so I could impress him he is my first really crush, in México all the boys wouldn't ask you on dates they usually just rapes us and abuses us. So I am hoping this guy is not the same because I feel like I can trust him. The night was over I was ready for our first date and, I got ready so he wouldn't wait on me I saw him and my hand was shaking I breath in and out I said.

It was quiet and boring. I just laid there. I was all alone except for the occasional person walking past. Than suddenly a girl named Leah picked me up. She put me in her pocket the walked to class. I was relieved to be picked up but also nervous. Who knows what would happen.

The whole dating scene is an interesting atmosphere. The rules, the games. And the surprising thing for me is that even as you get older, it doesn't change much. Oh, the rules may differ, like the "how soon do I call him" rule, but it's all still a game. Add in the bi-racial card and it's even more complex. Let me explain. After being married for 22 years, re-entering the dating scene was not something I was looking forward to. Eventually though, you give in if for no other reason than simple boredom. But I was in no way prepared for what I was about to experience. Being bi-racial, I leave my options open when it comes to men. I do have a particular preference, but at my age, you look past all the artificial stuff and try to get at the meat

I turned off the shower and wrapped a big blue towel around myself to dry off. My hair looked dark and stringy in the big mirror over the sink. My hair was back from washing it because I did not brush it yet. I wiped the fogged mirror with my hand. I stared into my own blue eyes, which in my head I think are my best asset. I was never pretty to guys, I was always too short, too curvy, and when tan skin was a thing I had pale skin. I would never forget how it felt to lose my first love to my ex best friend. But that is okay because I was at this college and I made new friends and I even found a boyfriend.

It was New Year’s Eve, about fifty degrees outside, loud noise carried through the streets and echoed in the alley ways. There were parties on every block. That night, I had plans to go on a date with my crush from grammar school. So many things were going through my mind. What should I wear? How much make-up should I put on? How should I wear my hair? I was a nervous wreck. I was scared he was not going to like me, so I wanted to make sure my appearance was beautiful. He called later that night to cancel our date and said that he wanted to go to his
