We have all dated before; some more than the rest of course. With the veritable sea of people that we meet everyday in person and in our cyber interactions, the average person would have probably dated at least 10 times.
So what constitute as a date? Merriam-Webster defines a date as
“: an appointment to meet at a specified time ; especially : a social engagement between two persons that often has a romantic character b: a person with whom one has a usually romantic date”
Now there are truly memorable utterly romantic and fabulous dates. And then there are really really memorable dates that you will never ever forget. No matter how much you really try!
Yours Truly took the liberty to hunt down friends and get them to spill the beans and give us the lowdown on the worst possible dates ever.
Without further ado, I give you the Top 10 Most Boring Dates Ever.
One Man’s Meat Is Another Man’s Poison
While Singapore is a food’s paradise, there really isn’t any reason but to bring your SO on an island wide eating binge. Unless you’re into buxomy figures of course.
But seriously how romantic it is that the highlight of your date is the Pig’s Organ Soup over at Lavender? Even if you’re bringing your SO to a chic chic venue like Equinox, having food as your biggest selling factor only proves how failure you are as a date.
Honey Where’s My Remote?
While spending quality time with your SO is not indicative of the type of activity you do, Yours Truly believe that it demonstrates a lack of effort to spice up the relationship. Even if you are tired, there are other interesting ways to jazz up your time.
Note that this scenario only applies to couples who are already in a relationship. For those who had just met up, believe me I would drop the person faster than Britney divorced her first unlamented husband if he would to suggest “let’s watch tv” to me.
I’m Better Than You
Yup you got it. This date’s probably descended from the best pedigreed lineage ever, and is heir to an apparent fortune. Singapore Tatler runs articles on him regularly and you can be sure that every A list invitation has his name on it.
You should be grateful that he deigns to grant you a date. No wait, you should get down on your knees and sing praises of him for eternity. In fact he reminds you eerily of Chuck Bass except that obviously he is so much better.
Right?
Night Of The Living Dead
Sometimes when you can’t think of anything to do, it’s best to just stay at home. One of the most Boring dates ever is to come out, and do nothing but wander about aimlessly in hopes of getting an inspiration of doing something!
Seriously it’s not that hard to think of something not boring to do for a date! All it takes is some innovation and creativity. Walking around like zombies is not fun!
Well unless you’re fifteen and have nothing better to do..
Chatty Cathy
A good conversation opens up to a whole new realm of possibilities. A good conversationalist can inject life into any topic. However there are some people who bring this to a whole new level.
Ranking high up in the Worst Dates Ever, and as well as the Most Boring are the machine guns who fire non stop without much pause for the other partner. Never mind that you actually has something interesting to add. She is simply too busy letting you know all about her.
At this point, duct tapes and ropes sound pretty inviting.
The S Word
We come now to the dreaded S word.
Yes. Slut.
Depending on the number of dates, sex can be a flattering to a downright insulting proposal to suggest to a partner. It can also be a good indication of what the other person is about.
Ladies, be very very wary of this type of dates. Be sure to wear your 6″ Manolos for the ready kick upwards should he attempt such an uncouth suggestion.
Unfortunately for the lads, this “worst date” scenario rarely comes into play. And think thrice about trying to suggest that to your new dates. Unless of course they are of the easy virtue variety.
Ever heard of Village Bicycles?
Fashion Faux Pas
Although Singapore is a tropical country, there really is no excuse turning up on for your date dressed like a homeless vagrant.
It is a date. Dress to impress, please. A distinctive lack of style may very well bring forth a message to the other person saying that I’m not interested. On the flip side, coming dressed as if you’re heading for the Oscars when all that there is to the date is simply a casual outing.
Most of all, everyone? do not soak yourself for an hour in a tub of your favourite scent. We like to think that we’re actually dating someone human(we hope) and not Pepe Le Pew.
Sing Your Hearts Out
KTV lounges should be banned. It should be declared as the number 1 biggest date faux pas ever!
Don?t get me wrong. It’s fun and hilarious to go with your best chums. It’s certainly relaxing and crazy fun. Nothing quite like a good old scream your lungs out session with your buddies.
But it’s hardly date worthy and to actually even dare to suggest one to a partner just shows how incredibly crass you can get.
Shopping
The bane of both sexes, more for the guys than the girls. Shopping also ranks consistently high on both sexes as one of the most boring things to do on a date.
The evidence is everywhere. Look no further away from the throngs of impatient sad looking males outside a Charles & Keith store while their womenfolk gushed and worshipped over their creation.
I’ll be honest too. My eyes sort of glazes over whenever my SO suggested shopping.
Movies
And now for the piece de resistance!!
Drum roll please!!!!!
Without a single doubt, watching movies on a date rank highest as the Most Boring Date ever.
While I’m pretty sure there are good blockbusters, thrillers and romantic flicks out there that you would just die to watch with the Significant Other, a trip to the theatre usually denotes a lack of planning for that day.
I mean, a date is to bond, to get to know one another.. to know you more.. and the best YOU can do is have the two of you sitting next to each other in perpetual silence with your senses glued to the screen?!
Unless of course, your partner is Chatty Cathy (see above). Then you will enjoy the brief moment of silence where you actually don?t get to hear her voice!
So there you go..? the Top 10 Most Boring Dates in Singapore? Ever.
But of course love conquers all, and everything shouldn’t matter when you are with your hunnybunny right?
Just make sure you don?t do more than two activities from the above list!
