Matters of the Heart

  First person:

  As I arrived at the restaurant, I saw him sitting at our table; the boy that asked me out for my first date. I could immediately feel my heart in my throat, every fiber in my body vibrating to its rhythm. When he approached me with his wide smile and arms wide open. I donned an awkward smile and waved nonchalantly. My head started to feel lightheaded and my knees were weak at the joint, it felt as if I could fall or trip at any given moment. Fear started to creep into my mind, I thought if I was presentable for this occasion and I started to lightly sweat and repeatedly twiddle my fingers, at the end of it all. I felt warm.

Third person:

          During the date Allison felt unsure of the night. “Is he a good guy?” she thought, but those thoughts were forcibly pushed aside as she sat down at the table with him. During the first couple minutes she felt as if she was about to puke due to the nervousness. The man took notice and tried to do his best to make her comfortable. It worked to some degree but she still felt really awkward around him as she’s still getting to know him despite the man doing his best. Allison and the man made several awkward off hand jokes and play teasing which steeled her nerves. As the date went on, her nerves calmed and she was finally able to enjoy her time with her first date.
