that has left its mark on me and has been a part of my life.
You may think the drawing is exaggerated, but I can assure you my face at that moment was worse. That's why the title and the drawing will speak better than what I can write in the post.
Sometimes people think the first time is the best time, and I can assure you that's not always the case, at least not for me.
I'll tell you that my first date was on July 19, 1981, when I was 14 years old. I've always had an excellent memory for birthdays, anniversaries, happy dates, and more.
And this is one of the dates I'll never forget.
It turns out that on that day I invited my first girlfriend to go out for ice cream and a movie.
The first thing I'll tell you is that I arrived almost an hour early to the agreed-upon place and was rehearsing my love speech to make a good impression on my guest. Everything was supposed to be fine, since it was my first love and my first date.
However, something was up because everyone who passed by looked at me with a certain pity, and I thought there was something wrong when a woman asked me if I was feeling okay or had a problem. When I told her nothing was wrong, she replied that my face said otherwise.
But when my guest arrived, my face must have gotten worse because she asked me if I felt sick or if something was wrong.
No matter how hard I tried to change my face, I couldn't. I don't think I said any of the rehearsed words, and the truth is, it was a very nervous moment, and I think I was afraid of love or a feeling I was experiencing for the first time.
Despite all this, we went to get ice cream and see the movie "Zorro," starring Alain Delon.
Despite my face, I felt like the happiest young man in the world because I was able to go out with my first girlfriend, and despite all the discomfort and fear of upsetting my girlfriend, the truth is that it was a very beautiful romantic experience that I remember with great affection.
A final comment
First dates always caused me some fear, but never like that first time.
However, I must say that that date prepared me for my future relationships, and although I've always been somewhat cowardly about falling in love at that moment, it helped my subsequent dates.
