Tales From Sip And Go Girl: “John”

23 December 2013 / / One comment

John was never a sip and go because John was never a date. I turned down his invitation to a school dance when I was 15-years-old.

My high school had a semi-formal school dance called Casaba. It is not named after the melon. It’s a blend of the words “Casa” and “basketball.” “Casa” was part of my high school’s name.

The event is essentially the school’s basketball homecoming and happens every January. The week’s festivities include basketball games and decorating four hallways for each class– freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior.

My sophomore year, I hadn’t thought much about attending the dance. I was more concerned with my work on the yearbook staff and how I could get on the staff of the community newspaper.

Walk On By

Andrew sent me a text message on Friday night while I was at dinner with friends.

It was a simple seemingly innocuous text asking what I was doing. But I quickly discovered why Andrew contacted me. He felt guilty and needed to confess.

He had set up a sip and go with a gal at a bar/ restaurant for that night. But after he saw her sitting there waiting, he sent her a text saying “no.”

Andrew bailed and walked on by.

Going on a date is not a big deal. And it bugs me when people make it a big deal.

It’s a gathering of two people to talk and see if there’s a romantic spark or at least the ability to tolerate each other enough to do it again. It’s not an occasion to send out a press release.

Those who think the first date is a HUGE deal are on their way to Taylor Swift Town. This is the “town” where people get way too invested in the outcome of the date and make the relationship a bigger deal than it needs to be.

Please stop singing about someone you barely dated, Taylor Swift. You’re making dating seem like a HUGE deal.

I was reading message boards in the last couple months as singer and songwriter Taylor Swift started getting a lot of press coverage for her autobiographical songs that focus on some man (or boy) who she supposedly dated.
