WhatsApp Dating: The Rise of Digital Romance

In the age of smartphones and instant messaging, the landscape of dating has transformed dramatically. Gone are the days of long handwritten love letters or waiting days for a response. With the rise of apps like WhatsApp, dating has moved into a fast-paced, digital world where connections are made instantly, and relationships can blossom with the tap of a button. WhatsApp dating has become an increasingly popular way for people to build romantic connections, especially when long-distance relationships or busy schedules make in-person meetings difficult.

In this article, we’ll explore what WhatsApp dating is, how it works, and tips to navigate this modern approach to romance.

What is WhatsApp Dating?

WhatsApp dating refers to the use of the popular messaging app, WhatsApp, as a platform to communicate and develop romantic relationships. While WhatsApp itself is not a traditional dating app like Tinder or Bumble, it’s often used for continued conversations after meeting on such platforms or through other social media. Many people find that WhatsApp offers a more private and personalized way to connect with potential romantic partners, allowing them to exchange messages, voice notes, pictures, and even video calls.

WhatsApp dating is popular for several reasons:

Instant Communication: You can send messages instantly, whether it’s a quick “good morning” text or a longer conversation about your day.

Voice and Video Calls: WhatsApp allows users to make voice and video calls, creating a more intimate connection when physical distance is a challenge.

Privacy: Since WhatsApp uses phone numbers instead of public profiles, conversations tend to feel more secure and private than on traditional dating apps.

Whether used as a continuation of online dating or as a way to keep in touch with someone already known, WhatsApp is widely adopted by modern daters around the world.

Wie man das Gespräch auf einem ersten Date am Laufen hält

Ein erstes Date kann nervenaufreibend sein und eines der größten Anliegen ist, wie man das Gespräch am Laufen hält. Schließlich möchten Sie nicht, dass das Date von peinlichen Pausen geprägt wird. Zum Glück gibt es einige einfache Tipps, denen Sie folgen können, um das Gespräch reibungslos zu gestalten und einen großartigen Eindruck auf Ihr Date zu machen.

Bereiten Sie einige Fragen im Voraus vor

Es ist immer eine gute Idee, einige Fragen im Voraus vorzubereiten, die Sie Ihrem Date stellen können. Denken Sie über deren Interessen und Hobbys nach und überlegen Sie sich Fragen, die Ihnen helfen, mehr über sie zu erfahren. Wenn sie zum Beispiel gerne reisen, könnten Sie sie nach ihrem Lieblingsziel oder ihrem Traumurlaub fragen. Wenn Sie einige Fragen vorbereiten, können Sie auch vermeiden, dass es zu peinlichen Pausen kommt, wenn Sie Schwierigkeiten haben, etwas zu sagen.

Hören Sie aktiv zu

Eine der wichtigsten Dinge, die Sie bei einem ersten Date tun können, ist aktiv zuzuhören. Achten Sie auf das, was Ihr Date sagt, und stellen Sie Folgefragen, um zu zeigen, dass Sie interessiert sind. Wenn sie zum Beispiel erwähnen, dass sie gerne wandern, könnten Sie sie nach ihrer Lieblingsstrecke oder ihrer herausforderndsten Wanderung fragen. Aktives Zuhören hilft nicht nur, das Gespräch am Laufen zu halten, sondern zeigt Ihrem Date auch, dass Sie wirklich daran interessiert sind, sie kennenzulernen.

Vermeiden Sie kontroverse Themen

Während es wichtig ist, auf einem ersten Date interessante Gespräche zu führen, ist es am besten, kontroverse Themen wie Politik oder Religion zu vermeiden. Diese Themen können schnell in hitzige Debatten ausarten und die Stimmung des Dates ruinieren. Konzentrieren Sie sich stattdessen auf leichtere Themen wie Hobbys, Reisen oder Lieblingsfilme.

Teilen Sie Ihre eigenen Erfahrungen

Scheuen Sie sich nicht davor, Ihre eigenen Erfahrungen mit Ihrem Date zu teilen. Das hilft Ihnen, eine Verbindung aufzubauen und Gemeinsamkeiten zu finden. Wenn Ihr Date zum Beispiel erwähnt, dass es Sushi liebt, könnten Sie eine lustige Geschichte darüber teilen, wie Sie zum ersten Mal Sushi probiert haben. Das Teilen Ihrer eigenen Erfahrungen hilft auch, das Gespräch am Laufen zu halten und das Date für beide angenehmer zu gestalten.

Seien Sie Sie selbst

Schließlich ist das Wichtigste, was Sie bei einem ersten Date tun können, Sie selbst zu sein. Versuchen Sie nicht, jemand zu sein, der Sie nicht sind, nur um Ihr Date zu beeindrucken. Wenn Sie nervös sind, ist es in Ordnung, es zuzugeben. Ihr Date ist wahrscheinlich auch nervös! Wenn Sie Sie selbst sind, fühlen Sie sich entspannter und selbstbewusster, und es hilft auch Ihrem Date, den echten Sie kennenzulernen.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass das Gespräch auf einem ersten Date am Laufen gehalten wird, indem Sie sich vor bereiten, aktiv zuhören, kontroverse Themen vermeiden, Ihre eigenen Erfahrungen teilen und authentisch bleiben. Wenn Sie diese Tipps befolgen, können Sie ein unterhaltsames und angenehmes Gespräch mit Ihrem Date führen und eine Verbindung aufbauen.

Es ist auch wichtig zu beachten, dass das Gespräch auf einem ersten Date nicht einseitig sein sollte. Versuchen Sie, Ihrem Date die Gelegenheit zu geben, über sich selbst zu sprechen und Fragen zu stellen, um mehr über sie zu erfahren. Das Gespräch sollte ein Austausch sein, kein Interview.

Ein weiterer Tipp ist, auf Ihre Körpersprache zu achten. Lächeln Sie, wenn Ihr Date etwas sagt, das Sie lustig oder interessant finden, und zeigen Sie Interesse, indem Sie Augenkontakt halten. Körpersprache kann genauso wichtig sein wie das, was Sie sagen, um das Gespräch am Laufen zu halten.

Insgesamt gibt es viele Möglichkeiten, das Gespräch auf einem ersten Date am Laufen zu halten. Wenn Sie sich darauf konzentrieren, authentisch zu sein, aufmerksam zuzuhören und interessante Fragen zu stellen, können Sie eine positive Erfahrung machen und möglicherweise eine zweite Verabredung vereinbaren. Denken Sie daran, dass ein Date eine Chance ist, jemanden kennenzulernen, und versuchen Sie, es als eine unterhaltsame Erfahrung zu betrachten, anstatt sich zu sehr auf das Ergebnis zu konzentrieren.

Schloss Einstein Folge 1065

Chiara malt ein Bild vom Schulgarten, wie er eigentlich aussehen sollte, hört dabei aber mit, wie Elly am Telefon mit Reena schlecht über sie redet.

Sherlock Joshi hat eine Anfrage ans Stadtarchiv gestellt, die allerdings abgelehnt wurde, weil sein Name in keiner Akte zu finden ist, weswegen er keinen Zugriff auf geschützte Aktensammlungen kriegt. Auch im Öffentlich-Rechtlichen Cinematic Universe gilt die DSGVO!

Karl zu Joshi: "Wir können immer noch ein Team werden. Wie die drei Musketiere!" Joshi: "Weißt du eigentlich, dass diese Buchreihe historisch extremst inkorrekt ist?" Die drei Musketiere haben nämlich nicht mit Degen gekämpft, sondern mit Musketen. Daher der Name.

Annika und Nesrin reden nur noch über Marlon miteinander, selbst, wenn sie direkt nebeneinander stehen.

Chiara möchte die Sache mit Elly klären und will, dass sie alle befreundet sind. Elly blockt ab und wirft Chiara vor, sie würde ihr ihre Freundinnen wegnehmen. Elly: "Du wirst mir niemanden wegschnappen. Selbst wenn ich dafür deinen dämlichen Schulgarten mit Mist zuschütten muss." Ich hab das Gefühl, da läuft etwas schief im Staate Hockenbrink.

Massuda hat zu spät gemerkt, dass sie schon morgen einen Aufsatz zur Berliner Mauer abgeben muss, doch Herr Zech will ihr keinen Aufschub gewähren.

Chiara findet in Joshua einen Verbündeten. Der will sie nämlich in sein Team holen, nachdem sie ein Rätsel lösen konnte, auf dessen Lösung er nicht gekommen ist. Hey, warte: Parallelle! Joel wollte auch nur mit Colin zusammenarbeiten, weil er als einziger seine Begriffe richtig erraten hat!

Chiara will aber nicht in Joshuas Team und will auch nicht wütend auf Elly sein, sondern nur ihre "innere Balance" finden.

Marlon versucht mit Nesrin zu flirten: "Also, ich mag ja Wasser. Aber ich würde jetzt nicht sagen, dass ich es liebe."

Marlon will unbedingt herausfinden, ob Nesrin in Simon verliebt ist und schlägt vor, einen Test zu machen. Ich trau solchen Tests gar nicht mehr! Die haben mir vor 10 Jahren gesagt, ich wär verliebt, aber eigentlich war das ne Hyperfixation und ich fand den Typ einfach nur cool und witzig. Dann bin ich ihm viel zu lange unnötig hinterhergelaufen, obwohl er nichts von mir wollte, und hab später rausgefunden, dass ich VERDAMMT NOCH MAL AROACE BIN!

Entschuldigung, zurück zu Nesbrotlon. Nesrin würde Simon nicht ihren letzten Schluck Bubble Tea geben und ihn auf keinen Fall ihren Eltern vorstellen. Das Testergebnis: Ihre Gefühle sind noch unklar. Die Empfehlung: Sie soll ihren potenziellen Schwarm daten.

FRAU SCHILLER IST WIEDER DA!

Doch Zech muss doch noch länger bleiben: Bei ihm zuhause gab es einen Wasserrohrbruch. Angeblich.

Chiara versucht, durch Lach-Yoga zu ihrer inneren Balance zu finden. Joshi ist skeptisch: Er kann nicht verstehen, wie Chiara immer noch nicht wütend auf Elly sein kann, obwohl sie immer so gemein zu ihr ist.

Chiara probiert ne andere Methode: Schreien!

Nesrin hat für sich und Simon Karten für ein Basketballspiel besorgt und lädt ihn auf ein Date ein.

Massuda hat sich lauter Zettel mit Motivationssprüchen an ihre Wand geklebt. Das kann nur ein Tipp von Joel gewesen sein!

Elly möchte nachforschen und schlägt Massuda vor, sich gemeinsam in Zechs Zimmer zu schleichen. Das kommt Massuda natürlich sehr gelegen, denn so kann sie was ihren Aufsatz angeht vielleicht etwas schummeln.

Marlon übt mit Nesrin, wie man sich bei einem Date richtig verhält. Dafür muss er natürlich so tun, als wär er Simon und mit ihr flirten.

Schreien hat Chiara geholfen und sie besucht Joshua auf dem Dachboden. Der glaubt nicht, dass sie damit wirklich ihre gesamte Wut losgeworden ist und schlägt vor, Elly mal so richtig zu beleidigen, weil ihm das "auch immer" hilft.

Joshua nennt Chiara eine der "wenigen interessanten Personen am Einstein". Genauso wie Colin für Noah der "einzig normale Mensch [am Einstein]" ist!

Mark my words: Leute werden jetzt anfangen, Joshua mit Chiara zu shippen.

Während Elly Herr Zech ablenkt, schleicht sich Massuda ins Gästezimmer, um heimlich einen Aufsatz abzufotografieren. Interessant, Colin kann ne ganze KI programmieren, aber ChatGPT existiert in diesem Universum anscheinend nicht.

SIMON WOLLTE GAR NICHT MIT NESRIN ZU DEM SPIEL GEHEN SONDERN MIT LEON! LIMON WAR EIN WITZ! EIN WITZ!

Massuda hat einen Brief aus Zechs Papierkorb gewischt und JETZT GIBT ES AUCH NOCH DRAMA IM HAUSE ZECH! HALLO?

"Hallo Schloss Einstein Fans. Wir haben eure Beschwerden gehört, dass es keine gute Message sendet, wenn die Schwulen traurig sind und alle anderen nicht. Deswegen sind jetzt einfach alle traurig! Wir hoffen, wir konnten euch damit zufriedenstellen. Euer Schloss Einstein Team."

ZECH IST INS INTERNAT GEZOGEN WEIL ER STREIT MIT SEINER FRAU HATTE! ICH KANN NICHT MEHR EY HÖRT DAS DRAMA DENN NIE AUF?

Okay, es gibt anscheinend doch ChatGPT in diesem Universum - Massuda hat nämlich nur die Keywords für den Aufsatz gebraucht, alles andere macht die KI. Sollte das mit "Schreibe einen Aufsatz über die Berliner Mauer auf dem Niveau der [hier Klassenstufe eingeben] nicht auch gehen"?

Elly ist enttäuscht, dass Massuda nur wegen des Aufsatzes bei der Aktion mitmachen wollte.

Nachdem Karl abgesprungen ist, weil Joshua ihm zu gemein war, hat Joshua jetzt einen neuen langsamen Watson gefunden: Chiara. Und die bringt ihn auf eine Idee: Wenn er schon nicht allein ins Stasi-Unterlagen-Archiv darf, dann gehen sie eben als Modul hin! Joshi und Chiara ist so eine weirde Kombination, die aber trotzdem funktioniert. Ich glaub, Joshua hat soeben seinen Colin gefunden!

Vergesst Nesbrotlon! Jetzt gibt es NesMuffinsmitWunderkerzenlon!

SIE ZIEHEN ZUSAMMEN ÜBER SIMON HER YES!

Und Nesrin ist auch gar nicht traurig, dass sie kein Date mit Simon hatte. Herzklopfen und schwitzige Hände kennt sie auch nur vom Training. Sie fragt sich aber trotzdem, wie es ist, verknallt zu sein.

Das Love Quadrat wird echt immer komplizierter.

Synopsis: After hitting the lowest of lows, Kendra has carved out a simple life for herself. She’s content enough to live this way until opportunity walks through her place of employment in the form of an orange turtle mutant. She just needs to get close enough to him to plant a virus in his infuriating brother’s servers, but will she be infected long the way?

Also available on Ao3

First 🧡 Previous

She wasn’t going to be made a fool again.

She was Kendra Byerly and she was a force.

No turtle twerp was going to dupe her. 

Three times was far too many.

She had fallen for far too many tricks.

A kiss.

She didn’t linger on it.

She placed it for what it was.

A spur of the moment action that spoke to higher purpose.

While her main focus was spent trying to keep up with the blight that was Michelangelo, some sane background part of her brain operated within the confines of the plan.

A kiss helped keep him interested.

It was necessary because she was losing him.

It was bait to dangle.

It would have been better utilized at the end of the date with practiced bedroom eyes that said ‘take me home so I can ruin your wretch of a brother,’ but there had been the adrenaline of it all.

She wasn’t going to get caught up in that again.

She wasn’t going to let him lead anymore.

She hadn’t picked the next date spot, but she exercised discretion.

No more surprises.

No more excuses.

A common ground that removed all unknowns.

She was playing chess now.

She took a single breath and looked up at the science museum she had been standing outside of for approximately 45 minutes.

She pressed her vow to its façade.

She’d get Mikey home at the end of this date.

She would be in control for the duration.

So that meant getting here an hour early.

That was nothing.

That was mental preparation.

That was scouting.

That was beating Michelangelo at his own game.

Seduce and conquer were the primary and only objectives.

“Kendra!” Mikey called her.

She didn’t turn and gave him three quarters of her profile for an alluring glance just as she’d practiced. “Beat you.”

He marched up and almost collided with one pedestrian. “Heh. Yeah. You excited?”

“Maybe…” She turned to him in a gentle sweep. “That depends on you.”

Mikey blinked wide. “Me?”

“Do you always arrive fifteen minutes early?” 

“Yeah, better to be early.” He was clearly looking over her calm demeanor.

Keep him on his toes. “Doesn’t really avoid the disaster.”

“Which is why we’re here!” Mikey threw his hands up. “I’m gonna pick a good date spot eventually! This place is made for interaction. It’s actually open and I’m pretty sure there’s no priceless relics!”

“A little thought goes a long way.” She purred as she passed by him into the building.

She felt Mikey stray behind and smirked to herself as she entered.

She looked over the many families without focusing too much on any one of them and lined up in a queue for tickets.

Mikey soon appeared by her side. “You getting into… beetroot juice by chance?”

Don’t let him confuse you. “No, should I?”

“No. I mean, I guess? It’s fine. It’s good for blood pressure.”

She made a non-committal noise and stepped forward after several people filed away.

“Keeps ya calm…” Mikey went on.

Kendra looked upward along with her thoughts.

Mikey was leading to something.

It seemed like a comment on her behavior.

She couldn’t have that.

“Supports the heart and brain…” 

She tipped her shoulders in his direction, but kept from brushing him. “Beetroot, hm? I think I know that. Isn’t it good for stamina too?” She pressed a finger up into her lip to enhance her cupid’s bow.

Mikey’s eyes bugged out, but an employee flagged them.

Dropping from her supposed curiosity, Kendra grazed with her middle finger’s nail through his palm before grabbing his hand to lead him over.

He went off balance and hopped on one leg a few times to keep up with her.

“Isn’t he funny?” She tittered to the teller.

The woman was amused enough. “Sure, two adults?”

“Yes.” One adult and one man child.

“I’ve got it!” Mikey patted himself down for his wallet.

“Silly.” She pressed the whole of herself into his side.

It took a leading drag of her hand across the plates of his torso to reach into the pocket she had clocked his wallet in.

She pinched it free and sent him a heavy look as she offered it between two scissored fingers. “Here it is.”

“Ha… Ha… What?!” He quacked with a sweat dotting his brow.

She released him to his pathetic sense of modesty and turned to wipe her fingers off on her pants.

“Have fun you two!” The woman jeered as she handed Mikey a receipt.

“We will.” Kendra struck her with a sharp look before sending a heated one to Mikey. “Let’s go.”

“Kendra-!”

She dove directly into a crowd and felt him rattle off apologies and her name in quick succession as he tried to catch up.

All she could think was, ‘that’s it.’

It was a small rush.

A taste of control.

It had been far too long.

“Ken-! OW!!!” 

A small child giggled manically as he wove easily through the many legs.

A half-crouched mother waddled after him. “Joey!”

The little boy ran up to the next unsuspecting victim and kicked them in the shins. 

Pain was shouted and the kid continued to run on glee. 

She appreciated the hustle and finally rotated to glimpse Mikey. 

He limped forward. 

She had built up enough suspense, she supposed.

She saddled up to his side and slipped her arm in his. “I can’t leave you alone for a second.”

“Okay, that has got to-!”

She yanked him.

He hobbled and she tugged him straight to the first exhibit. A presentation of life then and now, it was illustrated by a myriad of dinosaur bones alongside creepy stuffed birds. There was a through line via placards about what genetics had been altered to illustrate the switch. Kids cheered and obsessed over what they could and could not touch. Parents tried to keep up with the whims of their lineage and Kendra picked the first placard. It had some semblance of science on it even if it wasn’t a field that she particularly gave a shit about.

Mikey took a breath once he recovered and stared hard into the side of her head. “What are you doing?”

“Shh.” She nodded to the sign that she had long finished.

She could feel his gaze narrow.

She allowed her pupils to filter along the sentence so he couldn’t complain.

He clicked his tongue. “You know what? Fine!”

This was one of the scenarios she calculated for.

She took a slow, shrouded breath and prepared her list of contingencies.

She hadn’t done anything dorky like label them, but she laid out her options in a mental tree.

No matter what insanity Mikey tried to pull, she would be ready.

‘Not again,’ she gave herself one last steadying reminder.

“It’s gross, right?!” Mikey’s voice chuckled a little too loud.

Kendra eliminated the files that involved direct action and was left with the ones where he made a scene.

She was almost impressed that he’d chosen to go for humiliation so quickly.

She prepared a staunch expression, but when she turned her date was nowhere to be seen.  

Kids laughter erupted and she found Mikey crouched amongst them where he pointed at a display. “What’s it look like to you?”

“Alligator!” One kid yelled.

“No! Crook’dile!” Another protested.

“Do you know the difference?” Mikey tilted his head.

“Looks like you!” A snottier kid made a beak out of his hands and put it over his mouth to make chicken noises.

Mikey’s lids lowered with little amusement and he turned to a quieter child. “How about you? Do you know?”

She swiveled shyly and drew two distinct arcs with a finger in the air.

“That’s right!” Mikey lit up. “You know, I have a mutant friend, Leatherhead, who’s an alligator. That means she has a wider u-shaped snout instead of a croc’s narrow v-kind!”

The snotty kid seemed perturbed he wasn’t addressed. “This doesn’t look like any of those!”

“Might be cause of the artist.” Mikey pondered the image. “Scientists didn’t actually grow the beakless chicken because how would it have eaten its seed!”

The snotty kid’s cheek puffed and he stared hard at the display.

“Says here that the embryo resembled an alligator so the artist drew what the adult chicken would have looked like.” Mikey continued on.

The snotty kid pouted and the other children filtered off.

“Want to look at the next one?” Mikey moved to stand.

“You’re… a what…?” The snotty kid couldn’t meet his eyes.

“I’m part box turtle.” Mikey told him.

“I guess-!” The kid made a loud huffy noise before running away.

Mikey smiled after him before looking straight at Kendra.

She refused to let surprise take her and solidified her features.

He gave a nod to keep looking and perused the exhibit with his hands behind his back.   

She lingered on reading a few plaques before she caught up with his snail’s pace.

He didn’t address her.

She puffed out her cheeks ever so slightly when his head was turned and went for his hand.

She needed to get his attention back.

She could demand it, but that would subvert her control.

She could threaten to leave, but he might just agree.

She could ask for his angle, but that felt like a concession.

Running out of contingencies, he turned just as she reached his fingers.

She was left with an outstretched hand towards his back and tried not to frown too deeply. “You got a booger from one of those brats.”

“You’ll get it?” He offered her his backside.

She pretended to pinch and flick nothing away.

“Thanks.” He had a smarmy aura as if he knew it was all a farce.

She fought scoffing. “I’d prefer to do something hands-on.”

“I know just the thing.” He offered her his palm.

She warily dripped her fingertips into it.

He closed without pretense and was slow to lead.

She got that his intention was for her to go and she took the deference with a flurry of thoughts.

He knew something was off.

Where was he going?

What would he do next?

She moved around an infuriating amount of families until they were at an exhibit about weather.

“Start from the back.” He spoke from behind.

She trended that way and swept through the memorized layout of the museum.

That was an area for natural disasters.

It soon appeared from between bodies as several models and a huge platform that people could stand on. An employee was manned at the display and spouting an endless line of driveled facts. Kids and parents alike mounted the platform and with a push of a button it would react with a certain magnitude of earthquake. It often barely shook, but the kids would fall and laugh gratingly with each tremor.

Kendra idled with Mikey tightly fisted at her side.

“Wanna do this one? There’s also a tornado booth.” Mikey pointed with his free hand.

“This.” She stunted out.

Mikey wasn’t eyeing her.

Mikey was barely moving.

Mikey was an old man for all intents and purposes.

Was that a representation of his commitment?

Was he going through the motions?

He had said something like that once. 

Something about thinking about how to break off a date because it wasn’t bad, but wasn’t good. 

“Let’s get ready to rumble!” The employee yelled out before listing off facts about tectonic plates.

Kendra and Mikey climbed onto the platform and found a corner.

They both held the guard rail.

“Insert joke about rocking my world?” Mikey spoke to the ground.

Kendra couldn’t move her head. 

Mikey said nothing else. 

She didn’t dare look at him. 

Who knew when the crazed attendant would flip the switch?

“Magnitude 1!” The employee then went on to explain what that could move.

Kendra planted feet and clung to the rail.

“Magnitude 2!”

The employee said this shook water in glasses. 

Kendra round it rumbled in her knees. 

She locked them. 

“Magnitude three!”

Mikey let go of the railing.

She couldn’t understand how he could. 

The unspoken rule was you were supposed to hold on. 

“Magnitude 4!”

There was a rocking that felt like the slosh of the subway.

She could believe she was there. 

She was safely moved by man and not by Earth. 

“Magnitude 5!”

Toddlers began to fall and roll around in giggle fits.

They laughed. 

The display may have been comical, but it represented something real. 

“Brace yourselves for our highest demonstration! Magnitude 6!”

The machine rocked and a woman near Kendra slipped.

It caused a chain reaction where she grabbed the next person and he tipped backwards towards her.

Before she could move out of the way, Mikey simply walked forward as if the ground wasn’t bouncing below him and caught the man.

He righted him and the woman with ease and the machine rumbled back down to stillness.

Gratitude was shared and Mikey returned to her without a care. 

She watched him as her nails were buried in the rail. 

He offered his hand again so they could dismount the platform.

Kendra looked it and him over once before flexing her fingers free and jumping off the display herself. 

She felt him follow closely as she traversed through the rest of natural disasters and into the water cycle.

It made no sense.

She had seen him react to her advances.

Both in confusion and an edge of desire.

She had somehow been rebuffed or she had rebuffed him in the process.

It was hard to say.

If she lingered for a second, the thoughts that were unlike her flooded her like one of the models.

What was he doing?

Did he care?

Did he have a plan?

What was his problem?

What would he do next?

Him.

Him.

Him.

She schooled herself.

She didn’t deal in doubt.

She dealt in exacts.

She was decisive.

So what was the next step?

The next exhibits dealt with broader topics of science and innovation.

It was the room she had been waiting for.

She could return to her original plan of seduction.

She knew he had reacted positively. 

If not bewildered.

Would he get over that?

She could adjust the probability in her favor.

Shift his attention.

She stood on the precipice between exhibits and looked on to technological feats.

There was a workshop for building mini robotics models.

A wall where code could be implemented into a digital space.

Several machines that put out pre-concocted mixtures. 

She wanted to mess with them all.

She didn’t want to keep up this charade.

In a matter of what seemed like seconds, she lost the will to continue.

The USB with the virus on it sat like lead in her pocket.

The worst part was she knew exactly why.

The damned earthquake simulation.

She was scared.

They didn’t do earthquakes in New York.

The literal earth shaking?

What a hopeless event. 

There was nothing she could do if it were to happen.

She hadn’t had the technology for a flight pack in years.

She would never cobble one together in time.

Mikey hadn’t noticed.

Mikey had made a bitter joke about her flirting.

Mikey had caught some random man instead of helping her.

For as much as they were alike, there would always be the same glaring difference.

He wasn’t intuitive enough.

He needed to be told.

Kendra didn’t spout anything but orders.

Mikey was made of questions.

He was a terrible underling.

He questioned authority.

He questioned her.

Everything she did.

For some sake of understanding.

One she didn’t want to give to him.

One she refused and always would.

Because the context was what it was.

She wasn’t interested in him.

She wanted to use him.

Admitting she couldn’t felt more like opening stubborn eyes than a revelation.

Part of her had known all along.

Maybe that was why she thwarted it.

She had looked at all the stubborn red flags and shoved through them.

Now, in a clear moment, she could hear the warnings.

This would be the last date.

She turned to convey just that, but no one was beside her.

In both directions, people were parting around her person, even though she was smack dab in the center of a threshold.

She had to turn around to find the source.

Mikey was getting bumped repeatedly.

He also had his arms out and was making himself a target.

It only took a second longer for her to realize that was on purpose.

He was acting as a barrier to split the traffic.

They parted at him so they’d funnel around where she had stopped cold.

She tapped his shoulder. “We need to talk.”

“Huh? Yeah. Sure. Let me just…” He kept his arms in their t-pose and waddled to the side.

He smacked someone directly in the face and she almost laughed, but kept it in.

Within a crab walk, they soon pressed into a bare space in the wall and had enough privacy to share words. “Still shaky?”

“What?”

“You know…” Mikey did a little unstable wiggle.

“What is that?”

“From the earthquake thing.” He threw a hand out towards it.

“No.”

“Oh.”

“We… We need to stop this.”

“We need to go? Are you feeling sick??”

“Mikey…”

“It was from that earthquake thing! I knew it was something! You wouldn’t let go of the wall!”

“I– What?!”

“I mean there was totally a warning about motion sickness on it so it makes sense!’”

Her brows pinched.

“But let’s use the emergency exit! It’s basically an emergency. I’ll get you out of here, just-!”

She placed an open hand out to his chest. “Michelangelo.”

“Eugh… Full name…”

“Look, this hasn’t worked out and never will. All these dates have been disasters. We’re just not…” She shook her head. “… compatible. We need to accept it and stop. It’s a waste of time.”

“Oh.” Mikey looked down.

That was that. 

The bandage was ripped off and there was no room for confusion. 

She didn’t think he would rat her out to her parole officer, but she also didn’t want to chance it.

He didn’t need to know about the virus.

He didn’t need to know anything more than he did. “I’m gonna go.”

He didn’t say anything.

That seemed best and she retracted her hand.

“Can I ask you something?”

“What?”

“Do you think people who are dating should have like the same mind kinda thing?”

She gave it honest thought. “You mean about compatibility?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t owe you a response.”ob

“Of course not.” He agreed too easily.

“If I say we aren’t compatible then we aren’t.”

“True.”

“Okay.” She moved to leave again.

“Do you mind answering? Before you go…”

“I did.”

“Not really.”

“I did.”

“No, you told me you don’t think we’re compatible again. Which I respect.”

“That’s the answer.”

“It’s… not though.”

“You aren’t respecting me. You’re wasting my time.”

“Kendra, it’s not a thing. I’m not trying to trick you. I’m genuinely asking if you think like minds should date.”

“We��re not like minds.”

“I’m not asking that!”

“I don’t see the point!”

“Does there have to be one!?”

“Yes! Otherwise, what is the point?!”

“I don’t know! Entropy!?”

“You probably just read that.”

“Maybe I did!”

“So what then!? You want to know for the inevitable degree of randomness in the universe!? Are you the loss of heat that messes up calculations?! You think so damn highly of yourself, you know that!?”

“I do!”

“When you don’t even notice the simplest thing!?”

He blinked once.

Run.

She could run.

She doubted he would stop her.

She only needed to dodge one person in the crowd and he would be stuck with his pleasantries.

Or he’d jump.

He could leap over everyone like that fence at the last museum and cut her off.

She could scream.

One yell and the alarm from the emergency door and the onlookers would think she was getting attacked.

It would buy her time.

She didn’t flee.

She didn’t move.

She didn’t do anything.

She couldn’t.

“Kendra, what did I miss?”

“Nothing.” She spoke automatically.

“I don’t believe you.”

“Tough shit.”

He grew stern. “Kendra.”

“Stop saying my name.”

“What should I say then? A nickname? Something shorter? Ken?”

“Just stop.”

“I can’t read your mind.”

“I know that.”

“I won’t ever be able to.”

“I know.”

“I’m also not great at guessing.”

“Obviously.”

“Unless I have something to go off of.”

“The tag.”

“The pepper spray.”

“Forcing myself.”

He nodded.

“Why did you leave me when we first got here?”

He stilled.

“You said, ‘Okay. Fine.’ and walked away. Why?”

“Oh…” He deflated in a genial way. “That’s because I realized you weren’t going to tell me what you were doing and I needed a second to accept that.”

“You… Were you mad?” She looked at him.

“Kind of?” He shrugged. “I mean just cause I’m in touch with my feelings, doesn’t mean I’m perfect at it. I know you need time and you’re super clear about your boundaries, but that kind of goes directly against my whole style of blabbing everything on my mind all the time.”

Something clicked. “You believe opposites attract.”

He grimaced. “Not really…”

“Then why did you ask-?”

“Again with the why!” He tipped his head back. “There’s no why! I’m just curious! All this time, all these things I learn about you, there’s so much I don’t know or won’t ever know. I hate that, but that’s how it is. This is over and that’s how it happens. I’m not even asking what I did wrong and, again, I’m not trying to gas myself up, but it would be nice to know, in parting, for closure, however you want to spin in, what you did want. Not because I think I can change into it or that it’ll change anything, but for the huge grand prize winning answer of, I want to know!”

“That’s… how it always is with you…”

“Huh?”

“Always jumping in. You don’t think about anything. You’re rash and stupid.”

“That isn’t-”

“And what? I’m supposed to worry about that? I’m supposed to wonder if you’ll make it? I’m supposed to care that much?! No! That’s not a relationship! Being together is being of one mind! Being a united force! Being able to face everything together! That’s what makes sense! Not stress! Not all this fighting! Not the learning curve! My bapak and ibu always-!” She clamped a hand over her mouth.

Her parents what?

What was she going to tell Mikey?

That things made sense when she was a kid.

That her dad’s mild manner perfectly matched her mom’s.

That even when she was dying he had a stone face.

That his expressions were worth their weight in gold.

That not once did he break down in those following years.

That he was what she strived to be.

That Deborah Ricci came along and confused him.

How he said he liked how bold she was.

How she was nothing like her mom.

How she’d never be like her mom.

How she was the antithesis of her mom.

Mikey hugged her.

Mikey had hugged her.

Mikey was hugging her.

She didn’t know when, but she tucked into him.

It was stupid.

All of it was stupid.

Everything was too loud.

There were too many people here.

Mikey rubbed her the wrong way.

He brought out the worst in her.

He was changing her.

“I’m sorry!” He shouted watery words in her ear. “I’m sorry…”

She shook her head.

Not because she disagreed, but because she didn’t want it.

Not another apology.

Not the room of people in black.

Not another death.

“I’m so sorry, Kendra.”

“Why?”

“Why…?” His cheek was against hers.

“Why do you keep doing this? How? You’re here and everything for years that I’ve… I keep saying things that I don’t want… Just… why?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know what you’ve been through. You’ve told me some and there’s obviously way more, but… that one mind thing… You don’t just get there. Something happens. I don’t know what your parents were like when they were dating. I don’t know if you know, but if they were that cohesive, they must have been an amazing team.”

Her eyes watered up.

“They raised an amazing daughter.”

“Stupid.” She pushed him. “You think I’ll cry from some dumb praise?”

He relented enough so they could see each other. “Obviously not.”

She saw his reddened and waterlogged eyes.

They were the same as hers.

She scowled. “What do you know?”

“Nothing.” He smiled.

“Exactly! You know the opposite. You know my criminal record. That’s proof that I’m a no-good daughter.”

“No, that’s proof the system failed out. Genius gone bad? Trust me, I know. Donnie was one family unit away from becoming evil the whole time.”

She glowered.

“Right…” His teeth came sharply together. “You hate when I mention Don-err, you-know-who.”

“How do you know that?!”

“I don’t know!?” He perked with too obvious innocence. “How you act I guess?!”

“Ugh! You notice that and a million other things, but not that I’m scared of earthquakes!”

“Huh!? You’re scared of earthquakes?!”

“Obviously!”

“What do you mean ‘obviously?!’ Did you know?!”

“What do you mean ‘did I know!?’ Of course, I did!”

“When!?”

“When!?” She seethed. “When I got on that stupid machine!”

“When you-!?” He squeezed her waist. “You didn’t know until you were already on it?! You didn’t realize until just then?!”

“What does that matter?!”

“Cause how could I have known?!”

“You keep saying that!”

“Do you want someone who reads your mind?”

“This again!”

“No! Not ‘this again!’ It’s a new question!”

“’Do I want someone to-?’ No! Obviously, I don’t. I want to keep my thoughts to myself.”

“Of course you do.”

“Why do you say it like that?! Like you know!?”

“I don’t! I keep telling you! I don’t know! I’ll never know! But you hate that, don’t you?”

“Yes!” It felt like relief to say it.

“One mind! That means thinking the same!”

“Don’t presume-!”

“I’m not!” He pressed forward until their foreheads butted together.

Her eyes squeezed shut from the contact.

His voice surrounded her. “It’s obvious your parents are the gold star standard. I get that. My dad turned out to be my literal hero. The reason I learned martial arts. The catchphrases that I made my own. I was living under this enormous shadow and I had no idea! All I knew was Lou Jitsu was everything I wanted to be.”

She cracked her lids and saw a peek of blurry green.

“But that was never going to be me. I was never going to be that person. I can’t be someone else. I can only be me. I can be better.”

Her eyes shot wide and her head reared so Mikey would come into focus.

“I don’t want to prove I’m like Lou Jitsu. I want to show my dad everything I can be. I’m not done. I’m nowhere near done! I’ve got so much to prove to this whole damn world!”

Her hands were on his arms and she squeezed.

“But to do that I had to change. I had to keep changing. I had to stop copying what I saw. One way only gets you so far. I had to break the cycle… and I couldn’t have done that alone…”

“So…” The sound was shaky. “What?”

“Nothing…” He deflated from his big speech like it was of no importance. “That’s me…”

“But you…?”

“Compared us? Sure. That doesn’t mean that’s how you feel. That’s just how I feel about it.”

She dug her nails into his arm.

He didn’t react in the slightest.

“What do you think? You can… what? Be that for me?”

“I don’t know. That’s really up to you.”

That was up to her.

He was full of hot air.

He spewed it like a loose balloon.

By all accounts, he believed he could be.

By all accounts, his comparison had been right.

The finessed points differed, but in the broad strokes it was alarming how similar they were.

One mind.

He acted like he would have known about her fear if she had known about it.

Like he had been reading her mind all along.

Hadn’t he?

In a way, he had.

In a way, he always had.

In a way, he drove her nuts.

In a way, he was the only one who could.

“When you’re around, you make me annoyingly aware of everything I try not to worry about.”

“I do?”

She glared at him, but sharpened a playful edge. “You bother me to no end.”

“Ah…”

“You also make all those worries disappear like it was all just as stupid as you.”

“Oh…”

“Like there was never any point to worry in the first place.”

He was silent.

“Could you…? No…” She smiled more to herself. “Would you want to be with someone like that? What is your type? You said it wasn’t opposites.”

“I like someone who pushes me by being themselves.”

Her lips parted.

“Just as they are. Imagine how far a pair like that would go.”

She sighed right into his face.

He only blinked because of the rush of air.

He was otherwise unbothered.

She could bother him.

She had pissed him off earlier.

She had the ability.

He wasn’t one thing.

He was multitudes.

“Name something else I don’t like.”

“You don’t like being trapped.”

Her head tilted slightly. “Why name that one?”

“Why not?”

“I hate when you do that.”

“Sure, you do.”

She rolled her eyes once before landing right back on him. “Trapped by what?”

“Anything. Me, for one. It’s the whole arm’s length thing. I get it.”

“What do you do about it?”

“I hang back and let you decide what things happen and when.”

She instantly knew what he was referring to. “Your perfect kiss.”

“That’s one way to put it. Even though it’s passed.” His brow ridge waggled.

All his actions with her had been chaste. “You were… mad that I wouldn’t tell you why I was flirting, but it was more than that, wasn’t it?”

He oozed guilt.

She ate it up with her expression alone.

“I had to be in the right mindset! You hadn’t ever come on that strong! You’re a physical person, but you hadn’t been physical like that before!”

“So what!? We would never have done it!?”

“I sure wasn’t going to initiate!”

“What if I never asked? Never hinted? We’d just go on a hundred dates.”

“A thousand and one, why not?”

“How is that good enough?”

���How isn’t it?”

She twitched.

“That one was too easy. You literally set me up.”

“You know you’re putting the emotional load on me that way, right?”

He jolted.

“Yeah! How unfair is that?!”

“W-wait-!”

“Just like a man.” She hissed.

“You take that back!” Mikey gasped.

“Make me! You can’t because-”

He kissed her.

One swift bob and weave of his head and he shut her right up.

She preferred it.

She would have to tell him.

Maybe in time for their next date.

Until then, she kissed him back.

They popped apart and swiveled right back into a reconnecting press.

When they broke it was because they spied one another peeking through lashes.

“You like it when I’m assertive.”

“I like when you know your place.” She spoke against his lips.

He rumbled with a noise that was sickeningly sweet.

She might have asked him what the sound was had someone else not spoken first.

“Um, are you two… alright? The staff were-”

“We’re fine!”

“We’re fine!”

Mikey and Kendra shared a look after their simultaneous comment before releasing each other to run into the other room.

It didn’t take more discussion then, but it would come, Kendra knew.

There had been a monumental shift in an exceedingly small amount of time, but she would worry about that later.

For now she had brats to contend with.

She started at the robotics stations where she immediately conscripted a ton of toddlers into her assembly line. They passed her pieces under her tutelage and she soon had a demolition derby bot worthy of her old club’s name. She sent it after Mikey’s tank which he had seemingly armored with every sturdy piece available. She hadn’t been able to locate any metal to fashion into a saw so they were left at a stalemate.

The kids were inspired and began to flood the space with battle bots.

Kendra and Mikey left them to their devices as they moved to the interactive screen. Mikey jumped onto the projected panels and ignored the games to instead do shadow puppetry. He did kabuki theater for the impressionable young souls that were captivated by his story. It gave her cover as she hacked into the code for the lights and enhanced his performance. He spoke of flames and she made fire. He mentioned spurts of blood and she splashed dark liquid across the ground. It was apparent that Mikey was retelling some R-rated action flick and the angry mothers started to catch wind. Kendra slunk away before they could strike and flicked her head for Mikey to follow.

He trailed away after throwing the end of the story to the crowd to complete and they moved onto mixing machines. There were flat tables that each had an obvious set of chemicals that could be mixed. One only needed to solve an all-too-easy-to-complete chemical equation to make the right one, but Kendra ignored that in favor of gutting the machine's interior. As soon as she opened it up, Mikey got access to the tubes inside. He identified a soap mixture and she rewired where it would flow to. While she worked, a few pre-teens squatted around to ask what she was doing. She narrated her plot all without naming its climax until she smashed a button. Mikey crawled out of the way just in time for a massive bubble to begin to form. Kendra couldn’t contain her cackles as it grew and grew until everyone was halted at the sight of the soapy monstrosity.

It popped directly into everyone’s eyes and the room erupted.

With the staff blinded and three strikes against them, Kendra grabbed Mikey to race out and  assumed they had some lifetime ban. Both their images which would be printed on a wall so as not to be served. They ran down the street, a regular Bonnie and Clyde, until the suds subsided and they could plan their next date over a public water fountain eye rinsing.

Wie man einen guten ersten Eindruck auf einem Date hinterlässt

Erstellen Sie einen großartigen ersten Eindruck auf einem Date

Der erste Eindruck ist entscheidend, besonders wenn es um Dating geht. Einen großartigen ersten Eindruck auf einem Date zu hinterlassen, kann den Ton für den Rest der Beziehung setzen. Ob Sie ein Blind Date haben oder jemanden treffen, mit dem Sie online geplaudert haben, es ist wichtig, sich von Ihrer besten Seite zu präsentieren. Hier sind einige Tipps, wie Sie auf einem Date einen großartigen ersten Eindruck machen können.

Kleiden Sie sich angemessen

Ihr Aussehen ist das erste, was Ihr Date bemerken wird. Daher ist es entscheidend, sich angemessen für die Gelegenheit zu kleiden. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie wissen, wo Sie hingehen und wie die Kleiderordnung ist. Wenn Sie in ein schickes Restaurant gehen, tragen Sie etwas Schickes. Wenn Sie ein ungezwungenes Date haben, tragen Sie etwas Lässigeres. Angemessene Kleidung zeigt, dass Sie respektvoll gegenüber Ihrem Date und der Gelegenheit sind.

Seien Sie pünktlich

Pünktlichkeit ist wichtig, wenn es darum geht, einen guten ersten Eindruck zu hinterlassen. Pünktlich zu sein, zeigt, dass Sie zuverlässig sind und den Zeitplan Ihres Dates respektieren. Wenn Sie zu spät kommen, lassen Sie Ihr Date so früh wie möglich wissen. Entschuldigen Sie sich und geben Sie eine realistische Schätzung an, wann Sie eintreffen werden.

Seien Sie selbstbewusst

Selbstbewusstsein ist attraktiv und kann einen großen Unterschied in der Wahrnehmung Ihres Dates ausmachen. Zeigen Sie Selbstbewusstsein in Ihrer Körperhaltung, Ihrer Körpersprache und Ihrem Sprechen. Suchen Sie Blickkontakt, lächeln Sie und sprechen Sie deutlich. Es ist auch wichtig, Sie selbst zu sein und ehrlich zu sein. Sich als jemand auszugeben, der Sie nicht sind, führt nur zu Enttäuschungen auf lange Sicht.

Seien Sie engagiert

Engagieren Sie Ihr Date in Gesprächen und zeigen Sie Interesse an dem, was sie zu sagen haben. Hören Sie aktiv zu, stellen Sie Fragen und teilen Sie Ihre eigenen Gedanken und Erfahrungen. Vermeiden Sie es, zu viel über sich selbst zu sprechen, aber seien Sie auch nicht zu leise. Finden Sie eine Balance und lassen Sie das Gespräch natürlich fließen.

Zeigen Sie Respekt

Respekt ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil jeder Beziehung und beginnt mit dem ersten Eindruck. Zeigen Sie Respekt für Ihr Date, indem Sie höflich, höflich und rücksichtsvoll sind. Bieten Sie an, für die Mahlzeit zu bezahlen, halten Sie die Tür offen und zeigen Sie Wertschätzung für ihre Gesellschaft. Denken Sie auch daran, ihre Grenzen und Vorlieben zu respektieren.

Haben Sie Spaß

Dating sollte Spaß machen, und es ist wichtig, auf Ihrem Date Spaß zu haben. Zeigen Sie Enthusiasmus, lächeln Sie und genießen Sie den Moment. Denken Sie daran, präsent zu sein und sich keine Sorgen über die Zukunft zu machen. Wenn Sie eine gute Zeit haben, wird Ihr Date es auch spüren und sich an Ihre gemeinsame Erfahrung erinnern.

Seien Sie aufmerksam

Seien Sie aufmerksam und reaktionsschnell auf die Bedürfnisse und Wünsche Ihres Dates. Wenn sie Hilfe benötigen, bieten Sie Ihre Unterstützung an. Wenn sie kalt sind, bieten Sie Ihre Jacke an. Kleine Gesten wie diese zeigen, dass Sie aufmerksam und fürsorglich sind.

Vermeiden Sie Ablenkungen

Vermeiden Sie Ablenkungen wie Ihr Telefon oder andere störende Geräusche während des Dates. Konzentrieren Sie sich auf Ihr Date und zeigen Sie ihnen, dass sie Ihre volle Aufmerksamkeit haben. Wenn Sie dringende Angelegenheiten haben, lassen Sie Ihr Date wissen und seien Sie höflich, wenn Sie sich entschuldigen müssen.

Seien Sie dankbar

Zeigen Sie Dankbarkeit für die Zeit, die Sie mit Ihrem Date verbringen. Bedanken Sie sich für das Abendessen oder den Kaffee und sagen Sie ihnen, dass Sie es genossen haben, Zeit mit ihnen zu verbringen. Wenn Sie ein zweites Date wünschen, lassen Sie es sie wissen, aber seien Sie auch respektvoll, wenn sie es nicht wollen.

Fazit

Einen großartigen ersten Eindruck auf einem Date zu hinterlassen, erfordert Vorbereitung, Selbstvertrauen und Respekt. Durch angemessene Kleidung, Pünktlichkeit, Selbstbewusstsein, Engagement, Respekt, Spaß, Aufmerksamkeit, Vermeidung von Ablenkungen und Dankbarkeit können Sie einen positiven Eindruck hinterlassen und den Grundstein für eine potenzielle Beziehung legen. Denken Sie daran, dass es in erster Linie darum geht, Spaß zu haben und sich kennenzulernen, also lassen Sie den Druck los und genießen Sie das Date!
