The sky is blue because I fucking say so.

On behalf of myself, welcome to this blog.

A little introduction before we get started.

My roommate, Alyssa, and I decided to join OK Cupid for fun, to go on dates with people we meet on the site, and then blog about it.  We each created absurdly bad profiles, yet for some reason, guys still want to meet us -- a professed dragon lover, and a girl who likes to sit on the couch and make money.

These are our adventures.  Alyssa can welcome you on her own in her own post later.

Date 1: The sky is blue because I fucking say so.

Now before you criticize me for my lack of vocabulary, let me just say that I don't often swear.  But there was nothing else I could do at the end of date 1, which so far, was the worst date I have been on in my entire life.  

Alyssa and I found a profile of this cute guy, and double messaged him, suggesting we go on a double date.  He responded almost immediately, and he and Alyssa began an internet romance.  In fact, he claimed that we could all be best friends (which is what I usually tell people).  

So we went to Denver.

I was under the impression that we were going to hang out with a few people, very casual.  Turns out, we found ourselves on a double date, with MrGingis and his friend.  While at the first bar, I ended up talking to the friend, and 63 minutes or so into it, I pulled Alyssa into the bathroom to tell her we needed to leave.  Little did I know, that these 63 minutes would turn out to the best minutes of the night.

As a positive person, I will start with the pros of this date:

• First bar was really good and had a drink called go fuck yourself juice.
• I got a gummy bear drink.
• Second bar was the skybar in Denver with a really great view of the whole city.  But then we argued about which was was North.  Dumb asses.  I had a compass on my phone, but apparently MrGingis knows better than my compass.
• We got pizza at the end of the night and saw our friend Jon (note: we told Jon about our "date" before we went to Denver.  Always have an escape plan and body guard before going to a different city to meet someone you met online.

The negatives:

• You listen to indie music? I'm not really into that.  I don't really care that much about music.  Oh, we are still going to talk about it for the next 63 minutes?  Yup... uh huh... never heard that song.  Nope, never heard of that band.  Nope, haven't seen them live. 
• I somehow found myself in a religious argument with MrGingis, which was dumb.  Never talk about religion with someone you just met.  And then when I tried to stop arguing, he kept going.  Moron.
• Oh, you studied astronomy?  That's great. I bet you know everything.
• The sky is blue why?  
• STOP YELLING AT ME.  I DON'T WANT TO ARGUE.
• SHUT THE FUCK UP I AM SO SICK OF LISTENING TO YOU.

Without getting fired up again, I have to say that by the end of the night, I just wanted silence.  MrGingis asked how I could believe in God if I didn't know why the sky was blue, which it so happens, I do know.  But apparently it's because of Oxygen only, and not Nitrogen.  WELL GUESS WHAT MRGINGIS, in your own words, "Wikipedia it."

Nerd.

I don't understand why these guys felt compelled to prove that they were smarted that we.  Plus, they weren't.  They were complete and total idiots.  

That being said, I had some respect for MrGingis's friend, who said, "I disagree with you, but I'd like to hear your opinion."  Thank you, friend, you were somewhat tolerable for a little bit.

By the end of the night, we were running to the pizza place to see Jon (and eat pizza, which was delish), and hop the bus back to Boulder.   We noted that we will only date people in Denver...we never have to risk seeing them again, plus we can use the excuse, "we have to catch the bus."  Like I said, always have an exit strategy.

But, I think this was overall, a very good experience.  And these are the reasons why:

1. People are on OK Cupid for a reason.  These guys, though actually pretty attractive, will never have girlfriends because they are pretentious douchbags.  
2. I experienced my first bad date.
3. I saw all of Denver from above... pretty cool.
4. If you feel like you are supposed to be on a double date with one of the guys, stick to that guy.  Otherwise MrGingis will attack.

So now, Alyssa and I have begun the search for our next subjects.  

Date one can be summarized by me nodding my head and thinking to myself, "OK, stupid."
