First dates are a right of passage. From choosing the outfit, to picking the hair style, to practicing thoughtful conversation starters. For Stephanie, on her very first date ever, it feels like at the tender age of sixteen her entire dating future is resting on this one special night.
But Stephanie is about to learn that in the world of dating things very rarely go according to plan, and almost never turn out with a fairy-tale ending.
First Date is a SHORT STORY, personal essay about the author's own experiences with starting to date and learning that Prince Charming is very rarely a sixteen-year old dive instructor with no sense of time.
