This last week I was attempting to go on a date because my roommate had asked a girl out and he wanted me to go with him on a double date. I was really struggling finding a girl that would go out with me. After several girls had said no to me, my roommate became nervous because it looked like I was going to fail on my part of finding a date. He did not want to go on this first date with this girl by himself. He was so desperate that he even suggested that I go along as a third wheel. I was not going to do this, so I kept searching for a date.

I asked out eight different girls and every one of them seemed to have a legitimate excuse for not going on a date with me. You are probably thinking that I am a loser due to the fact that I did not get a date. That is where you are wrong. I held out and was strong and did not give up. I finally asked out a girl that I did not want to take out and I finally got a date.
