I Hate Things

Question for the imaginary readers (you know who you are): if you go on a date, but there is no goodnight kiss…is it still to be considered a date? Should it be retroactively downgraded to something else, like an “outing” or a “hangin’ out” or just a “thing”? Is it just a bad date, or an unsuccessful one? Or should we think of such an event as never having actually been a date in the first place? Kind of like that scene in Quills where there’s the closeup of a woman, and her eyes are closed, and she’s breathing heavily like something fabulously kinky is going to happen…and then the camera pans back and she’s actually breathing heavily because she’s standing in front of a jeering crowd and is about to be executed. I know, whatever, it’s probably a French thing. But it’s a good example, come to think of it…

These are all hypothetical questions of course.

But one thing’s for sure—I am anti-outings. Outings suck.
