Happy Friyay y’all!!!
How was your week? I won’t lie, this week put me through hell and high water. I think I may have over committed myself to a number of obligations and it took it’s toll on me. BUT! THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY! I am still here so I am definitely stronger!
With everything that went down this week, I was going to write a motivational post today with a story about one of the challenges I faced and how my support system helped me through. But then something RIDICULOUS happened this morning that I’d love you guys to opine on!
Okay so someone I know is supposed to go on a date with a guy for the first time tonight. Before I go any further, allow me to provide some background.
For whatever reason, people are always trying to hook her up! She isn’t desperate to settle down (she doesn’t come off that way to me anyways) but the people in her life think she’s great so they don’t stop trying. Earlier in the week, she was approached by some friends that met some dude they think would be perfect for her. After realizing they won’t stop until she met said “Prince Charming”, she agreed to meet him with the group over happy hour on Friday (today). They gave him her number and he called her. They talked about likes and interests and she was surprised to learn that this guy enjoyed theatre: movies, Broadway shows and even the Opera! The guy promised to “pleasantly surprise” her on Friday after drinks with an evening she won’t forget.
When I asked my girl, if she was excited about her date today she quietly showed me her phone! With her permission please see below:
Girl: Good Morning! Hope you slept well. Wanted to see if we were still on for tonight
Guy: Good morning beautiful. We sure are. Can’t wait.
Girl: Great! I know you want to surprise me and all, but I kinda need to plan my outfit lol. Would you mind telling me what we’re doing tonight?
Guy: Lol! Impatient are we? Don’t worry I can’t wait to grace you with my presence too
Me: Side eye *Goes back to reading chat*
Guy still: I figured we’d see a movie after drinks. I couldn’t find any decent opera tickets.
Girl: @ the opera… Awww…
Guy: Yea lol. So I figured we’d see Fifty Shades Darker instead
Me: EH?!?? *Goes back to chat*
Girl: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Guy: I’m actually serious. Did you see the first one? I did. And I know girls like romance flicks like that so why not?
My friend has not replied. I was in shock. I’m still in shock. I don’t know what to tell her.
I’m dying to hear what you guys think. Should she still go or should she just nix it? Is she reading way too much into this? (If that’s the case, I may be too. HOW IS THAT OKAY FOR A FIRST DATE?)
As always, thank you so much for reading and have the best weekend!!!
Love always,

P.S. – for those who don’t know – Fifty Shades Darker is romantic comedy full of graphic pornographic scenes and a great soundtrack (MOMMY I DID NOT WATCH IT OO!!! THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE WHO WATCHED IT TOLD ME!!) ?

For some strange reason I don’t think the movie is as bad as the book. Maybe the image I had in my head when I read the books says I’m going to hell. I think she should still go on the date but change the movie if she’s not comfortable seeing it with him.
Wawa New Yorker says
Yea… She decided to meet him for drinks and she how she feels as the evening unfolds. The chain of events may be my next blog post HAHA!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND LEAVING A COMMENT!

?? I actually didn’t think much of it until I read the comments! Too funny! Yeah that would be kinda awkward ?

So talking to my girl, she mentioned that the one thing that threw her off was that they talked about film and broadway and the guy actually told her about the opera. So she was expecting something along those lines. More classy less.. emm.. trashy hahaha!!! thank you so much for reading and leaving a comment!
Obinna says
That’s a red flag. But the thing is the guy is indirectly telling her what he actually wants. So it upto her to make her decision.
Wawa New Yorker says
RIGHT?????????????? Obinna I was WAITING the read your take on this! I honestly thought you would find a way to justify the guy’s actions and tell the girl to go and enjoy! Hahaha1
Thank you for ALWAYS having an opinion on these things! You make my fridays

Some ppl are clueless about what meanings can be derived from their choices. Maybe he thinks that’s what women will rather watch because it has the romance idea to it. The sex scenes may make for laughter or how they’ll interact with the awkwardness. I’d say be matured about it, she can make a joke that if he’s trying to hint home run right away being that the movie is all about sex, he should take someone else. If he means well, he’ll explain himself and apologize then she can decide from there.

Why you gotta be anonymous?? LOL!
I’m all for good humor. But…. For someone you don’t know, they haven’t even met (and I honestly don’t know how much they’ve talked in between), some jokes are a tad too expensive. It’ll be interesting to see how everything pans out.
Thank you for reading and leaving a comment! Hope you come back and don’t stay anonymous.
