STORY STARTER

Write a scene where two characters are on a terrible date.

One-Sided Love 💔

I met this guy

And he asked for my number

I gave it to him

And here we are

Our first date

Together


I met this girl

And she was stunning

So I asked for her number

And got it

And here we are

Sitting

Across from each other

Her eyes

Glowing

Staring into my soul

I couldn’t stop looking at her

She was too beautiful 😍


He keeps _staring_ at me

It’s weird

And he hasn’t even touched his food

Is he ok?

“Are you ok?”


She’s looking at me

So gorgeous

I can’t even eat my favorite meal

I can’t believe

I got such a beautiful girl’s number

And I’m on a date with her


He was silent

Just _staring_ at me

Should I just leave?

He’s so weird

And _so_ not my type


I’m _so_ in love with her

I think I’ll **marry** her

Should I ask her now?


I think I’m going to leave

He just keeps _staring_

He won’t stop

I gathered my things

And left


Wait where is she going?

**_I thought she loved me_**

My heart

Is broken 💔😭

In this specific piece, you keep from past to present tense. “He just keeps staring” is present tense, while “I gathered my things and left” is past tense. What makes this more confusing is that the boys’ narrative is in present tense. Note that “I thought she loved me” does not count in this particular situation, since she had already left. Hope this helps which your future writing, sorry for commenting on an old one!

Love the two sides of this poem the guys is sooo funny and so is the girls
