The First Date Meme

First dates are magical, full of potential and the promise of a future -- whether it be a night or years to come. A conventional dinner, casual drinks at the bar, some fancy activity, or refrigerated Netflix... whatever you do could change your life forever.

Or maybe not. Only one way to find out.

Prompts

1. First Date EVER: Whether you're in school, just socially awkward, or under weird circumstances: neither of you two have ever been on a date before. You have no idea what you're doing and only cultural knowledge to go on. Can you get through without turning red? Can you even show up on time?

2. Dinner and a Movie: As big a trope as ever there was. Meet for a dinner, hit a movie afterwards, and see how it goes.

3. Friends Becoming More?: You've been friends for a while now... but there's always been a spark of interest. Maybe it's time to explore the possibilities.

4. Swipe Right: Nothing wrong with trying some internet dating. A website or app matched the pair of you and you've agreed to give it a shot. Something casual like a coffee shop or cafe comes recommended in this scenario: light, simple, no obligations.

5. And This Is Crazy: You just met. At a bar, at a party, at a social event, maybe somewhere stranger. Your eyes met, your sparks flew, and now you're meeting with that memory fresh in mind.

6. Speed Dating: You've got five minutes to make an impression on each other, before you move on to others at the speed-dating event. Go.

7. Arranged Date: Your guardian or parents have specifically arranged this event with your date's, in the hopes that you'll be a good match. The event doesn't carry the harsh obligation of a betrothal, but nonetheless, there's a little pressure there...

8. Blind Date: Who the heck is this person? Your close friend set you two up, and now you get to lay eyes for the first time on this person that assured you is really nice...

9. Fake Date Turned More...?: You aren't really dating. You're pretending to get someone off your back. You're staking out a restaurant and need to look casual. You're going to prom as friends only, just to go. But if that's true... why are you enjoying this so much?

10. Go Wild: Look it's a wildcard.

Yuffie grinned. "I'm not really into that fancy stuff." Much to her fathers dismay. "You can also talk to me instead of about me. It's kind of weird."

She grabbed a glass of water sitting on the table and took a sip. "I've heard about you. Rumor says you're a ladies man. Not really husband material." To be fair, Yuffie wasn't really bride material either but she was leaving that part out.

"And rumor says you're the biggest tomboy in the world, more likely to rob a suitor instead of woo him." His mask hid his grin, but it reached his eyes anyway. "Obviously rumor isn't perfect."

"Who says I didn't start that rumor myself?" It was an easy way for her to prevent her father from marrying her off. It also helped that she rarely appeared in formal society so no one knew what she looked like. There were some pretty amusing descriptions going around.

"Maybe. Are you not a lady's man?"

"I'm a flirt. I'll admit that. But duty tends to get in the way." The admission was embarrassing, actually, and Edge glanced away as he said it. Being honest like that didn't exactly make him feel terrific about how much reality didn't live up to reputation. But he preferred that, somehow, to having her think he had a dozen girls with a line for more.

"So you actually do some work?" She laughed. "It's fine. I try and get out of my duties too. I have been mostly helping with relief efforts in allied countries." Yuffie didn't mind that he was a flirt but she still expected him to have a line of girls standing outside his room or something. Her imagination had a tendency of being a little ridiculous.

"I'd prefer to go treasure hunting if I could."
