Save the Date

that people consider dating or like talking. Like for me, when I'm like saying, oh, if are you talking to that person, that means like you're you're not dating yet, You're just like and you're like hanging out and like about to date. That's what I think. But then like I think more like Mom, like when she was younger, I would say, like if she says that she's talking to someone, then she's dating that person. We think have this conversation with Mom. I it's so weird that that

like is now like that like talking dating. I don't because if you think about it, if you're talking to someone, you probably are going on dates. It's like the kind of dates that we go on now. I was going to say, ours want to hang out? That type of thing. Our generation is like you snapchat the person and you're like, yo, let's hang what you doing even Okay, this is a random but the other day, and I know this is

like obviously very romanticized because it's a movie. I was watching The Notebook obviously the other day in the plane, I was really in my fields and like just crazy that you used to ask each other like in person used to go to the person's door pick them up. But I wish that it is not normal anymore. You just don't do that. I wish it was like that. But at the same time, it's so easy to like hang out with someone when you have a phone. When you have a phone, I mean not saying that they

okay whatever. I don't know, it's a it's a pretty big debate, definitely, I think, Like, I mean, I know that it's very kind of like cliche. I just I love the idea of, like, I don't know, doing a traditional like date, even though things like we don't do things very traditionally. I feel like, but it is fun. But like now, I think in our generation it's more like if you're hanging out, then it's like a date. You know, basically, um, what's the have you been on

a date? And like, because I don't think we ever talked about these things together. What is like the worst date you've ever been on? If you have been on a date? I mean, oh, I would say like I because I like Okay, Well first I'm just gonna say, like, now, like, do you say you go on dates? Because I like me and Eddie will say like, oh, yeah, we're going on a date. We go on a date. But it's not like he's like, hey, want to go on a date to dinner and have a dinner date. Okay. Anyway,

so that's cleared. Um, my worst day is probably with my first boyfriend. We were It's just at the very end of our relationship. Never mind the devil. Sorry. So basically we went to dinner and okay, you're going to remember this very vividly. Oh oh no, I basically I was basically what happened. I'll do it very I'm going to do a very quick answer. Kenzie, like our friends invited us over to have a pool night. Kenzie was there. I was like, oh, I want to go so bad.

He was like, no, we're going to dinner. Mind you, We're like fourteen or fifteen at this point, so who was heated his side? But we basically go I really wanted to go to hang out with my friends. I want to hang out with Kenzie at this pool party. And so we get to the dinner and literally like I am. We're waiting outside to go in, and I'm just like having a really bad time, and he was

just being really mean to my mom called me. I was crying because I just like, I just really want to be with my friends, Like I just really want to be with Kenzie. And then she calls and he picks up and he's like, it's so weird. Maddie's crying. I don't know what's wrong. And I was literally I'm on the phone being like I know why she's crying. Everyone else not here. And so finally my mom was like, Maddie, get in the car right now. You're coming to the pool party. And he sat in the car the whole

time I went in. We'd like, got Did I end up going in the pool? I don't think so did I We were all in the pool he was. So that was a pretty bad date because I didn't want to be there. I wanted to be with my friends. He was making me feel bad, and so I guess that would be considered like the worst date because I was just like, but we're so young. I don't know

what you would consider that. But I'm trying to think of my worst dake because I've been on some pretty terrible I don't know if you would call it dates, but like, what of an example, I'm trying to think, Well, there's like there's been times where I've gone on a date with like the sun and the dad. Um what you know that that was, Like that happened a lot.

That's really weird because you're so young, and like you need a guardian or what like, Yeah, that's so awkward, but I think do you even hold like hands at that point? Like what are you doing? I don't even remember because it was a long time ago, but the most recent one, which I obviously have a boyfriend, so like a long time ago before I was dating my boyfriend, my one of my friends, like I've known him for a long time, and he was like, hey, let's hang out.

And I I'm you know, I hang out with guys as it's just a normal thing for me to like, you know, go get food with my guy friend, like it's not a big deal like that. Um, And we like went and got food and then he took me to a look out and I was like, wait, what is happening right now? And he's like, what's your type?

And I'm like, I don't know, I don't really have a type, and he's just it's just like the most awkward thing because I'm like, he thinks this is a date, but he just texted me being like, Hey, I'm in the area, do you want me to get food? So I'm not saying this is where the confusion comes with like a hangout could beat me in a date, right, Like I also like I'm just not I wasn't into

him like that, so it was really awkward. Then he's like asking me questions or like you know, telling me I look pretty and I'm like thanks, Like I'm really awkward, but that's an uncomfortable situation. I haven't talked to him since then, so I think that definitely ruined our friendship. Well what can you do now? You have like a great boyfriend and you have other guy friends, so it's nothing to worry about. Yeah, but that's always awkward when

your guy friend tells you I don't know whatever. You know? What's so funny? Like like and I have nothing against it, but like a lot of people are in dating apps, and I feel like we've always been too young and you can now I can, Oh, I can't. And I probably obviously don't need a dating app right now or I don't want. It's just something else you can do, you know. Yeah, But I just like I'm trying to picture myself if I was single and I wanted to put myself out there, I just feel like I'd be

so awkward on a dating app. Like I wouldn't know what photos to choose, I wouldn't know what to how to describe myself. I wouldn't know what to say, how you flirt. I don't really know how to flirt. I'd be so scared to go to dinner with a stranger or like go on a date with a stranger. It's honestly a hazard. You guys should be aware, be aware.

I yeah, no, I feel like i'd be so terrified to like put myself out there, especially like meeting new people, because you never know what they're actually like through like text message. Like it's the same thing when you're like talking to your boyfriend or something, and like you can't tell how they're acting. You know, is like bad sometimes because it's hard to read someone over like a message, yeah, exactly, Like it's hard to I would be so terrified. I

get scared, like walking to my car by myself. So I definitely want to be able to do that. And also, what if, like, okay, have you ever like okay, you know how people go on like dates for the first time. What if it's going badly? How do you leave? How do you like do you do the thing where it's like okay? I feel like this is what would happen if I was going on a date with someone that I didn't know when I was meeting them for the first time and it wasn't going well. I feel like

I do this beforehand. I'd ask you to like have a plan in place just in case, so like I text me be like hey, call me now, and be like there's an emergency, and then I'd have to go like, oh my gosh, my sister her, I'm to go chopped off. I'm really good at making excuses, so I think I'd be okay, like, oh, I can get out of any situation, like even like that that I don't I wish they

could see me. But I'm doing ltiation marks because it wasn't a date, but like that weird hangout, that weird hang out, Like I was like, oh, I'm so exhausted. I don't feel that well, like can you just drop me off? Like I need to go to sleep, And then I went home and hung out with my friends, so like, you know, I can, I can get my way to work. You're a little actress. I mean yeah, no, but yeah, when when it's like the perfect time to like meet the parents in terms of dating, I don't know.

I always get so scared. And when it comes down to that, you know, it's different when it's like you're older, because like if you're if when you're older, in the motive, it is like Okay, we're going to be together, we're gonna get married. Then it's like meeting the parents is like okay, this is going to become right thing. I think I get more scared for my mom to meet my boyfriends then from me and the parents. Yeah, definitely, you're you're scared for your boyfriend to meet yours, your family.

What about me? Do you get scared? Like when you introduced your boyfriends to me? No, well no, I knew you'd hate all of them except my recent one. Like my recent one one right now, my recent one, my boyfriend right now, your boyfriend. UM no, I just like I don't know all they've all been pretty stucky, so it's like kind of like scary bringing them home. Yeah, definitely.

But I remember when, like because obviously Eddie and I were friends for a really long time and then like we started hanging when we started kind of dating, we started hanging out all the time, and like he would just come over and my mom, like my mom, our mom just thought it was like, you know, he was just one of my guy friends, just hanging out. And then one day we came back from inside the pool and my mom was like, I didn't know that you guys were more than friends. And I was like what.

She's like, I saw you kissing in the pool and I was like, um sorry, She's like, no, no, it's fine, Like it was fine she and then she ended up like being completely fine, like she didn't care. She loves Eddie, but it was just I'm sure it's definitely weird having but also I'm like, mom, why are you spying on me? She always is, but not in like a bad way. She just wants to be like it also hang out, I don't know. So yeah, I mean I feel like

I was so nervous to me Eddie's parents. Like literally, I remember the first time I met his parents, I was so awkward, Like I was so quiet and just like weird, and like we walked I remember I met his mom and then we walked out and Eddie was like, are you okay? Why? Like what happened? I was like, what do you mean? Like everything's great? And He's like, you seem like really nervous. I'm like, yeah, He's like

you were so like not yourself just then. You were just so like quiet and timid and like scared people people ever. But I just was like, you know, it's scary, Like I don't know, Yeah, it is kind of a weird situation. You don't know how they're going to like they don't know. I feel it's more like I hope they don't think I'm like I hope they think I'm good for something, right, Yeah, I never really think. I just like try to be myself and if they don't

like me, then I mean that's their problem. But yeah then I can't really do anything about it. But yeah, I mean, what can you do. We're so young, like we have to just be ourselves. Of course, we'll always be yourself no matter what age you are. Should your date pick you up at your house or meet you there? Probably pick you up? I would think, yeah, well I would love that if my boyfriend could drive. Oh my god,

I have everywhere. Yeah, I've always been so young, so like that's never been a thing for like, but now, like he's always at my house. And he also lived in a different state for the first few months, so it was it was more like, let's just going to travel to who real same yeah, but realistically, like if you didn't have a boyfriend right now and you were just dating, like, would you want them to pick you up or meet there? Because I guess it just depends

on the circumstance. If it's if it's like a first time hanging out, probably meet there because I so I can escape if it's bad, you know. But if it's like if you know that we've been hanging out or like I know this person, it's going to be really fun, then like yeah, pick me up right, yeah, I would say so, or like yeah, this this is a great one. How late is too late for your date to show up? I'm always late, so I feel like i'd be the one that's late, but like how late are we talking?

Like I'd probably like ten minutes. It's like the I would say in l A. You have a little bit of wiggle room because traffic here is ridiculous. Everyone's usually late like I and I'm an early bird. I always

get everywhere on time. But I've started recently, like especially with driving on your own, you know, you you kind of like you have to, Like I said, there's you need to give some like wiggle room because it is it's really hard to get everywhere on time in l A. I think we talked about this before, but I literally just started driving, so I don't understand how long it takes to get anywhere. And even if it says it's going to take like twenty minutes, it's probably usually gonna

take forty five minute. I don't understand that. Still, I don't know when I'm supposed to leave. I actually was perfectly on time. You e ripped at one, which is crazy because I'm usually like late when you're when you're going on a date. Because this is like for me, I guess it depends the restaurant, But like, do you feel like you have to wear heels. Do you feel

like you dress up? I guess it's different because like we go on dates with their boyfriends, but if you're going on a date with someone like new, like not even that. I feel like it's just it's about the restaurant. Like if we're going to our catch, which is like a fancy restaurant, we're obviously going to a dress up. But if you're going to like a burger joint, you're not gonna, like I meant, like a fancy date, a

fancy date. Um, maybe not heels, I don't know, probably a nice outfit, I definitely, like, I think, especially with our generation as well, I know we play into that a lot, but I feel like it's just like so many boundaries have been broken, which is so cool. I feel like now, especially like even with like just being

fluid with like gender or style or sexuality. Like I think it's so cool because I feel like now it's more widely accepted for like people to play into like their masculine in side of their feminine side, and that helps a lot with like your fashion choices. So I just feel like for me, like I feel because when we grow up, when you when we were growing up, we were very heavily like you know, obviously Competition Dancer is very like Ryan Stone's glitter, very pink, very like

glitzy and girly. And now like right now we like I feel like you're dressing more masculine, like at the moment, like we're wearing like big jackets and like, I don't know, just like oversized things. I feel like it's cool that you can kind of like play into that on a date especially, and I feel like that makes the guy I think you're cooler anyway, because it's like, oh, she doesn't care, she just wants to wear what makes her feel good. I feel like that that should be like

what their mindset is. Would you ever go on a double date with Eddie's parents? What's that's so random? Um? Yeah, we we definitely have done that before. It's not random. I'm just wondering. Yeah, I mean, like, yeah, I feel like, well, a lot of the times, like we'll go over to their apartment and we'll all eat, like they'll cook dinner and we all eat it together, or they'll come over and cook for us at our place. That's nice, but like, yeah, definitely,

I think that's really cute and fun. Yeah. We I feel like we need to go on more double dates, more like us with our boyfriends. I feel like we don't do that. We just go to the beach, I know, but I feel like we should go to a nice dinner and do that, even though like I know we should. I feel like it's more like our boyfriends just don't really love Like I feel like they would rather do something like more active where we could sit down and eat dinner and do our things. I just it was

so funny. We last week we went to dinner with one of our friends and Eddie just like came with us for girls night, Oh yeah, which is always so fun. I feel like he's like one of the girls, like, and you could definitely be one of the boys to like. I feel like that's what's usually. I'm actually happy he was in that situation because usually when I'm hanging out with him and his friends, I'm the only girl there. Oh shame. That's how it always is me too, which

I don't mind. I'm like fine with that, But but you don't you feel like you kind a third wheel just a little bit of course? Are you kidding? Like he'll he's like cuddling his friends more than me. That's exactly how I feel. It's hilarious. But yeah, we should definitely go on a double date. I feel like we have should book? Have we even done that at all? I don't think we have? Have we not? We should do that? No, because on Valentine's Day we both went

to the same time. No, no, same restaurant, but like different really ten minutes after each other. That's really funny. Well we should do that. Let's book that. Maybe we could do it this week. Yeah, let's do that. Okay, great, Well, guys were so exhausted. I think we need to take a nap. Yeah, good night, sleep tight. Thanks so much for taking twenty with us. If you had fun, please
