THE DATE MEME

Here's how it works!

1. Comment to this post with your character. List the character's name, series, and any preferences you might have in the subject.
2. Using the RNG, pick from one of each of the two categories below. (Or if you'd rather pick them yourself, feel free to do that instead!)
3. The two of you are now on a date! The first list is where you took your date. The second list is your current relationship.
4. Have fun!

Locations

1. Restaurant. What better way to spend some romantic time than over food? Maybe you're at the fancy restaurant in town, or maybe you just couldn't afford anything nice, so you're at the nearest diner. Or maybe somewhere in between?

2. Games. The two of you are playing a game somewhere! You could be at a bowling alley, an arcade, a miniature golf course...the possibilities here are countless.

3. The Park. Of course, Mother Nature can provide an excellent atmosphere for romantic bonding! Perhaps you're taking a leisurely stroll through the lush grounds, or maybe you've laid out a blanket somewhere so the two of you could have a picnic.

4. Movie Theater. Or maybe the two of you are sitting next to each other in a dark room, sharing a bucket of popcorn while you're watching the latest film. Did you opt for a horror flick to keep your significant other latched to your arm -- or for you to latch to theirs -- or perhaps something they enjoy, like a sappy romance film or a cheesy action flick? Or maybe you compromised and went to see a sweet romantic comedy.

5. Skating. It's always nice to go skating, right? Are you at a roller skating rink, or did you find a frozen lake and decide to go ice skating? Which one of you needs help (you know at least one of you does)?

6. Beach. Ahh, the beach! Go ahead and set up camp wherever you like! Or if you don't watn to lay down and catch a tan, you can go swimming, or take a walk along the shore! Or if you don't want getting sand on your feet or in your shoes, go hit up the boardwalk!

7. Sunday Drive. Sometimes you don't really have a destination in mind. Sometimes you just want to drive and enjoy the scenery. Well, here's your chance to do that!

8. Amusement Park. There's plenty to do here! Take your date on the Ferris wheel, or the tunnel of love...or something more thrilling, like a roller coaster! Walk around with cotton candy!

9. Dance/Ball. School dance? Prom? Business gala? Whatever it is, you're there, and you've got a date.

10. Wild Card. Your choice! Feel free to pick something that's not here.

Relationships

1. Blind Date. You had no idea who you were going out with until you arrived! Was it a complete stranger, or did it turn out to be someone you knew?

2. First Date. You finally worked up the courage to ask this person out, and they agreed! How awkward is this going to end up?

3. Steady. You guys have been going out for a while. This is just another one of many dates.

4. Proposing. This isn't just any date for you. You've brought your significant other out somewhere to propose to them! Make sure to warm them up for the main event!

5. Married. You're not just dating, you're a married couple! Whether this is a special occasion or you just decided to break from your everyday life, the two of you are using this as an opportunity to remind each other just how much you love one another.

6. Wild Card. Your choice! Feel free to pick something that's not here.

_{[ you know it.... 8)

Both of them had a secret that probably wasn't too much of a secret amongst their close knit circle of friends. That secret was the fact both of them were horrible at asking people out. Haru hadn't even really been on any kind of date or anything before, really. It wasn't something that was too important to him.

It was kind of game that happened around this time of year. Sign up to go on a date, be paired with another person.

Never in his life would he think that he'd end up with somebody he knew; somebody wh owas also too shy to upfront ask somebody out, but really wanted to go on a date sometime in their life. He couldn't just leave Rei either. Not after they've already sat down; they were friends, too. Friends don't just ditch other friends no matter the cirscumstance. Think of this as something like just he and Rei hanging out. That's all this was— a platonic date! Nothing wrong with that.

But god, he felt embarrassed, and he had a feeling Rei did too.

Here they sat awkwardly at a restaurant, hiding behind the menu for now. There was just a huge long silence between them both, then finally: ]}

There's no mackerel on the menu.

_{[ He was just making it even more awkward. ]}

_{[ This was the day that Rei finally talked himself into accepting a blind date. He could never bring himself to actually ask anyone out, so this had to be the best alternative if he ever wanted to date. Of all the things he expected, being paired with none other than Haru himself was not one of them.

Rei had dressed nicely for the occasion, as it took him hours of planning ahead every possible direction for this blind date to go on.
Despite all the planning, he had no idea what to say, and his face was a bright red. Talking to Haru was usually not this difficult, but for some reason, he just couldn't even look at the guy right now.
He had decided that burying his face in the menu was the best alternative to talking about this awkward moment.

Yeah, he would probably choke on nothing if he were to say something right now.

Wait---Haru just said something! No...Mackerel.

Oh no.

This date was off to a horrible start already and Rei knew it---wait this was definitely just a platonic date! Haru had to think so too, right?

He kept being silent, not even replying to Haru. He was literally just staring at his friend. He had to say something. Anything would work. ]}

W-We...could leave?

_{[ Okay, not that. ]}

I-I meant---We could....uh...

_{[He was having trouble forming proper sentences.]}

[Voicetesting. Mun is US canon current.]

[It's not exactly Weiss's first choice for their inaugural date, but it at least suits the personality of the girl she's with. Ruby, full of life and lover of fun, will at least enjoy herself thoroughly, and that's what really matters.

Weiss isn't nervous because it's their first official date, but more because everything has to go right. She has to show Ruby that she can be the perfect date, and that all things will go smoothly when she's around. Ruby wants a great date? Weiss will make sure it's the best she's ever had.

When they arrive at the theme park, Weiss folds her arms and looks around. She isn't sure what they should do first.]

Well? What do you think? What's our first stop?

( omg, yes, yes, yes. am i awful for thinking that them somehow ending up being each others blind date is hilarious and wonderful? )
