I’ve never been comfortable with romantic date nights. So I came up with a solution: the anti-date.
. And by this I mean: I hated engaging in intentionally “romantic” activities. I resented the way romance demanded a performance — acting pleasant, affectionate, lighthearted, when, often, I am none of those things. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say that I am all of those things but I am also surly, cynical and prickly — moods you aren’t supposed to show during a moonlit walk or a candlelit dinner.
This made my chest hurt but also made complete sense — how else was he supposed to feel? I didn’t know how to explain that I desperately wanted to hang out with him, but that going on dates felt forced and contrived — until our morning in Target.
