What? She wanted to see a movie. I was 13. It wasn't like I could get a Motel 6 and set up a pound palace or something. We settled on...get this...What Women Want. Turns out that she had also invited six of her friends, who were also 13 year old girls. That should be awesome right? No. It wasn't. Turns out they all thought I was gay and kept nudging my shoulders and laughing in a "don't we girls ALL think alike?" I kept having to just nervously laugh and play like I knew what they were talking about. I told my original date that I wished it was just me and her cause I liked her. She gave me a surprise face as if she had no idea I didn't like men. She apologized and I told every one of my friends the next day that I went out a date with 6 girls from class. I was pretty cool for doing so. That lie died down after a while.

I didn't date for a while after that.
