He finally asked her on a date. Her first ever date. Nerves raging. Burgundy dress and skyscraper heels. Probability of broken ankle – 62.6%. Probability of broken neck – 27.8%. Probability of broken heart – incalculable.

Hopefully that last turns out to be 0%! 🙂
I hope so too!
again, the romantic in me, just adored this.
REALLY LIKED IT!!!
TGIF!
Oh good 🙂 I love writing romance. Even if 33 words hampers me somewhat!
Yeah, I’m hoping for no heartbreak but, since this is her first ever date, odds are great that she will wind up seeing other people before she settles down.
With odds like that . . . it’s a wonder we ever enter the dating game. 😉
first dates! so many expectations! hopefully it’s a zero heartbreak 🙂
I loved this one. Very sweet.
I went on my first date at 22 with a guy I asked out.
It’s been 13 years. He’s still a good date.
Oh that’s gorgeous. Thanks for that, JQ 🙂
Aww…nice story – but, I am worried for her 😦 But, such is life – nothing ventured, nothing gained (corny old saying…).
It’s only a first date so her probability of fun is more than 50%. She can worry about heartbreak after a few more. You are right. You never know.
That’s the whole rush of dating isn’t it? The unknown? Maybe it’s just me. Or, was me. I’m not dating anymore. Married and what not.
I should think so. I don’t know yet. I’ve never been on a date. But my imagination can do the trick 😉
Good one.
I’m so happy I started dating in the desert boots and faded jeans era–no self-respecting hippie boy I knew would have taken a girl in high heels anywhere… Fun post!
ugh.. skyscraper heels. I dont do heels. Great post!
I sort of do, but to be honest I probably wouldn’t on a first date. I struggle with nerves anyway, and have never been the most graceful of girls …. The risk of broken neck/ankle/arm/insert bone name here would be much increased!
Incalculable – great word for this prompt. Nice work.
Hurrah! My thesaurus brain is useful sometimes …. 🙂
Hate to say it, but it reminds me of one of those Master Card ads, But then it’s one of the few ads I actually rate highly.
Haha! Then I will take that as a compliment 😉 thanks
This was cute! I’m more worried about the heels than her heart, though 🙂
But Janna, ankles mend (trust me, I know) …. Hearts don’t always. Oh wait, I did mention necks too didn’t I … Well yeah,you have a point! 😉
I’m with Janna!!
In such a short piece, your phrasing really works here. I love the three probabilities, and the word “incalculable” is perfect, both for the prompt and for the situation. Nicely done!
Thank you 🙂 being a bit of a weirdo wordsmith comes in so handy for these challenges!
