When it comes to thinking about the pefect date or just planning what you are going to do with someone you just met, there is no such thing as perfect. There is nothing but awkward. I remember when I first had supper with my boyfriend, Tyler's parents and his family. They are a pretty religious family and I am not so when they would pray before eating I was not used to that and was not sure what to do. How I overcame that you may wonder is by grasping my hands together and respecting that his family is different than mine.
Another awkward situation that I have been in is when I went to see Tyler in Port Washington and he is best friends with previous love intrest and another one of his friends who had a certain taking to me were hanging out with us. Even better was that we decided to go swimming and I am not the thinnest girl in the world so I LOVED showing off my gorgeous bod to all of these guys. Oh that was a joyus time. It was me and three boys who all have or had me in common. Now don't get me wrong they are all awesome and I care about them, but it was just kind of weird being the only girl there.
On a more "friendly" note, one of the most awkward experiences of my life was when my best friend, Jake, was having relations with a man who was also my friend. They were getting really close and personal. Usually I am okay when Jake talks about his male friends, but seeing it in action was somewhat uncomfortable, but I am over it because I understand what he is coming from now that he explained everything to me.
Awkwardness is something that everyone goes through at every age. It never goes away because it is human nature to be uncomfortable at times. Sometimes the situations can be prevented, but by the time you realize that you did it yourself it is too late. Awkward situations make you, so embrace them!
