The Date of Life

 Hey guys, hope you had a great day....I had a good day. So I was thinking about what to write and I decided to tell you guys about the date I just had....my first in Birmingham and it was certainly the date of life....the funniest I have been on.

So I met Sogo through my new friend in Birmingham, we were in class when became to say hello to my friend and she introduced us...I was just happy to meet another Nigerian and we just spoke for awhile. Then the next day, my friend told me Sogo was asking for my pin...I was like sure, I was just happy to have another Nigerian friend. We started talking and he was okay but I just thought he was a bit too loud and he was kind of annoying, but apart from that, he was okay.
Then he started asking me to go on a date with him....at this point in my life, am enjoying being single and even if I want to date someone...it has to be the right person. But Sogo was definitely not ready to take a No and I was thinking its just a date and its the cinema so I get to watch a movie and eat free popcorn...I love cinema popcorn. So I said yes and I thought it would be a fun day...well things don't always turn out the way I want them.

Then the day of the date came and I was really excited because I was going to watch A Good Day to Die Hard...I love action movies and I was going to get cinema popcorn....it was going to be a good day but I just had a feeling something was going to go wrong. I should have suspected right from the beginning...we get to the cinema in a cab and as I was coming out of the cab, Sogo just slammed the cab door in my face...I nearly broke my leg, apparently he forgot I was in the cab...that should have been the first signal, then we get to the counter to pay for the ticket and then Sogo turns to me and he is like where is the money for ur ticket, I thought he was joking....I was like 'huh'...I was even laughing but you should have seen his face...Thank God I carried my wallet...I don't believe boys have to pay for everything but he is the one that asked me to come on a date.

Then it was time to get the popcorn..I was excited..Sogo was like I got this...I almost said O je bi...so he got two huge bags of popcorn and drinks, when we got to our seats, I expected him to give me a bag of popcorn but he just kept them with him, and then the movie started, I was expecting my popcorn, my guy just started eating a bag of popcorn and was like do you want? I was like yh...he offered me from his own, I was like can I get the other bag, he was like No...I was like I thought I you got me one...he was we are sharing it...I swear down I was stupefied but I stood up to go get my own popcorn...I had to have cinema popcorn.

When I thought it could not get any worse, he started laughing so loud, then during all the car chases and gun fights, he started shouting in Yoruba and then he started clapping...I just buried myself in my seat....I could not just believe what I had gotten myself into...I just wanted to cry and go home. Finally the movie came to an end, the torture was over and then with popcorn bits flying out of his mouth, he was like did you enjoy the movie..I just nodded. I was like please can we go home, he was like I was thinking we could go somewhere to get food..you should have seen the way I screamed No, everyone at the cinema thought I was mad but they could not understand. I just wanted to go to my house.

When he dropped me at home, he was like I had fun, we should do this again... I was just laughing in my mind...if only he knew I was not trying it ever again. He now leaned over to kiss me, I was just looking at him, when he opened his eyes...I just smiled and gave him a side hug. He now later pinged me that he felt the chemistry between us and he wants to pursue it...chemistry kor..biology ni. So that was my first date experience in Birmingham...so eventful and hilarious. I can be friends with him but definitely not going on a date with him again.

Just want to remind you guys that you can still send in your stories...it could be about hilarious and disastrous dating experiences or the jerks you have come across to my email jumokesijuwade@ymail.com. Also I would be continuing my Jerk series tomorrow. Bye
