So, it's 4th of July weekend. None of my friends are on campus really, and I am getting the urge to go out and have fun. I am not interested in any kind of relationship atm since my mess with Evan (previous boy blogs), but I want to have some fun with people and do some stuff out of the house.
And so... I just randomly decided to go to a BBQ with a guy I have never met before, who wants a date because his friends keep awkwardly setting him up with people, and he'd like an excuse to get them to stop. He seems pretty nice, teaches 4th grade, doesn't look like a creeper, is only 26 (seems a little weird when you consider that I'm 19 I guess >.> but I'm a junior in uni and idc about dating a bit older men).
I will definitely be telling a few people where I'm going lol, but it's so damn awkward like-- hey I just met this random dood on the interwebz, gonna go to a party with him tonight, bbl. I have had rather good luck with internet -> rl meetings with people. Flew up to Wisconsin to spend Christmas Break with people I'd never met before, for example, and it was awesome. Only told Evan and a few other friends what I was doing though, haha.
Idk what to expect though really. Have never been on a casual date with someone I didn't know beforehand. What if it goes terribly and is so damn awkward? XD He is picking me up and bringing me home, so... not like I can bow out easily and gracefully. Suggestions?!

Best piece of advice I can give is relax and try not to force anything.
That is a large age gap, though. I'm 24 and I'd be skeptical of seeing a 19-year-old. The age isn't the issue so much as the maturity and experience that comes with the age. Nonetheless, I'd be skeptical and still go through with it!

I agree with this and I'm 24 as well.

Always have a back up friend who you can call to pick you up if something goes wrong.
That being said, i am sure, for the most part, that it will all go well, and even if he is a freak, it is only 1 night.

Eh most people assume I'm 21 or older. I do come across that way irl I believe, and it's actually weird to me that I am that young (I tend to think of high schoolers at 19). Like I said I'm a junior in uni (actually been away at uni this long, not taking classes at a local community college or some bullshit while at home), and I've been completely on my own for almost 3 years now, so that grows you up pretty fast (in a sucky way >.>). Most of my friends here are grad students and seniors, and many of them don't know I'm 19 (I don't say unless people ask).
I do understand the skepticism though, lol, but I think as an individual I seem a few years older, and maturity wise, I have a lot more life-experience than many other people my age.

This is a casual date, which means that you don't have to act weird because you somehow care about anything. Just treat this like a casual night out with friends and don't feel any pressure upon your shoulders.

Winner's advice.

lol a 26 year old dating a 19 year old. Have fun!

Have fun, the age difference isn't so large that it feels like you're dating your dad, but I'm sure it will be noticeable.

There was a bulletin in Canada that the RCMP was looking for a 26 year old school teacher suspected to be a serial rapist and human trafficker. Just a heads up.

I'm sure they'll be engaging in a lot of philosophical discussions. Maybe the guy wants a fresh perspective on his olden ways of thinking. In fact, he probably just wants to do her a favour and make it a pleasurable experience by analytically introducing certain propositions into her fresh and untainted mindset. A short Dickens debate, a little Kant, ... sounds fair to me.

Something horrible is going to happen o_o...

This to be honest.
Just be who you are. The reason is that there are only two outcomes. "This person likes you" or "This person doesn't like you." It's black and white like that.
That way, if you're being yourself, you are showing this person who you are.
