What I Learned From a First Date

“What I Learned From a First Date”

Dating can be really annoying or really interesting. I guess it all depends on your expectations and who you are going out with. Whether it be a date or hanging with friends, I like to be around people that can see life a little differently. That way, I have a chance to actually learn something.

I went out with a very kind artist. We decided to go ice skating. If you saw my video, you know he had a hole in his sock. I’m not going to lie, it’s not the most attractive thing when  a guy’s big toe is popping out of his sock. It also isn’t a deal breaker.

The funny thing was, he didn’t immediately put on his boot. He really didn’t care that he had a hole in his sock and sure as hell didn’t care if I saw it. At first, I was trying to avoid looking at it and he could totally tell I was being awkward. I guess, I don’t have much of a poker face. Then he said, “Giovanna, I have a hole in my sock, get over it.”
I started laughing hysterically, it was so funny. After that, I could care less about the hole in his sock. It actually became charming and endearing.

I learned a great lesson from him about “owning your shit.” We all have been in situations were we felt a little out of place or uncomfortable. Instead of concentrating on that, what if we just owned what we had going on? Even if it is ridiculous. Being comfortable in your skin has the power to change perception. I would like to thank and dedicate this video to my friend, the artist with the hole in his sock!

Make sire you take a look at my Confused Girl Activewear line! In the spirit of my charming date this week, check out my Sincere Leggings! Their pattern was taken for an amazing blue geode crystal which celebrates the difference in perspective and experience.

    dumb because your not funny if u act like her if u want to be funny do ur
    own thing and stop acting her

    Owning your shit. It’s like the story of my life. I learned that it made
    you look much cooler (and less crazy) from some hipster boys in college,
    and I’ve been utilizing this concept ever since. Like, when I started
    gaining weight last year, people noticed. Hehehe. Perfect. So I just told
    them, “I know I’m fat, and I’m kind of enjoying it. Get over it y’all.”

    Also, you say the word “down” like my mother. Are you from the south
    perchance?

    Cool vid. All go us have some holey socks somewhere. It’s a comfort thing.
    Glad you were both cool about it. New subscriber coming your way.

    Believe it or not most marriages tend to go sour once a woman finds finds
    petty crap to complain about because her husband is not perfect 24/7.

  32. Orion Xavier says:

    I think he was making you comfortable enough so that *you* owned *your shit*.
    😉

    Since obviously he never felt it was an issue. If a girl took her shoes off
    and I saw the same thing, I would be looking at what her toe looked like.
    Lol. Not the fact that she has a hole in her sock.

  33. AKraised says:

    The way I see it is if I can talk to a girl while purposely looking like
    shit and shes receptive, I know I owned my *shit*

  36. Forthose Whoslept says:

    Funny story. You seem like a down-to-earth person and you show that there’s
    more to life than just holey socks..

  38. TactomanifyX says:

    I have a hole in my sock…deal with it 😀
    On a serious note i can be casual like that with my girl as well, him
    saying that to you probably means that he is very comfortable in your
    company. 🙂

  39. oooo78 says:

    lol im a tom girl n wear socks with holes especially heel area. come on,
    its just a fuckn hole in sock. but if he said that then i wouldve been like
    ” ‘laugh’ i do too!” (show it off) lol but for the normal sheeple ppl out
    there ” ‘laugh’ doesnt it bother u?” or say something honest “it looks
    weird ‘laugh’ ” then he’d be like y n then a real conversation starts

    one of the most valuable lessons i learned from the guy i was dating was
    this “awkward is your perception, actually no need to be/feel awkward.” in
    reference to me perceiving a silence as awkward.. Same idea though, you
    just need to “own your shit”

    A lot happens on your first date cx its amazing how I’ve never been in one.

    Thanks for the invite, but i am not the type of guy you would be interested
    in hearing his own stories because i am a nerd of the sci-fi universe. My
    life is uninteresting. Thanks though and your pretty btw.

  60. Janiel127 says:

  67. Darian Opher says:

    I got your message. Sorry I’m just now responding to it. I liked the video!
    It taught me something as well! I will definitely be subscribing to your
    channel! Maybe you could check out my channel as well and tell me what you
    think.

  70. rizzlemcnizzle1 says:

    So did that ruin the date or did it get better from there? Seems like a
    pretty small detail but hey what do I know.

    Things feel akward because we make it akward (in our head). Usually, other
    people don’t give a f*ck in reality.
