N2017 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I recently had a virtual "first date" with a guy I met on Tinder. We had been texting before and had really good conversations and made a lot of jokes. He asked me if we could try doing a zoom call for a virtual first date and I agreed. There was a lot of awkward pauses, and when there's awkward silence I just start smiling or kinda giggling. When that happened he would either ask like "what's so funny" or "you good?" and I was just like "yeah I just don't know what to say". He asked some questions, I told him about myself, so there were moments where we had a good conversation, but I definitely felt so awkward, even though I did really like him! I feel like I came across more confident over text than I did live. Then I had to leave abruptly because my sister needed help carrying something. I didn't want him to think I didn't like him so I sent a text later and was like "sorry I was so awkward!". He said it was all good and asked if my sister was okay. I usually feel more confident on in person dates, but now I just think he thinks I'm hella weird (maybe he's right lol). Has anyone else experienced awkward virtual first dates? I'm curious to hear others' stories! Link to post Share on other sites
