Candlelight Dinners are for Ugly People
You eat steak at a steak dinner. You eat turkey at a turkey dinner. So what the heck do you eat at a candlelight dinner?
If you haven’t noticed, I have deep disdain for candlelight dinners. They’re stupid, and consequently, now they’re on my list of “things that make you go derp,” alongside Dancing Santas, fannypacks, and anything that spews out of Donald Trump’s face-hole.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m normally all about romance. In fact, I might be the most romantic person on the planet. My dream date? A walk on the beach where the water is 90% chocolate, 10% strawberries, and 10% roses. Oh, and 40% unicorns. There will be no math on this date.
But I draw the line at candlelight dinners. Candlelight dinners were created by ugly people. Think about it. The only reason they’re so “romantic” is because you can’t see the person sitting across from you.
The whole concept is offensive. If someone invites me to a candlelight dinner, I’ll immediately assume I’m hideous. It’s like, “Hey honey. We’re eating in the dark, because your face looks like a rabid baboon’s butt cheek.”
And while we’re at it, why are candles even a thing? Do people still rely on them? Candlelight isn’t practical anymore. Eons have passed since the invention of candles. We have lightbulbs now, and frankly, they’re a much brighter idea.
Yeah, candles are not efficient at enhancing our vision. If we must use them, let’s use them to enhance a better-suited sense, like our sense of smell. I’ll totally concede that candles are great for that.
Wait. Hold up. Candles are used to mask bad odors. Wow. This is more offensive than I realized. Every time I’m invited to a candlelight dinner, I must not only be fugly, but I must also smell like cat piss.
Well, damn, I’m embarrassed. Is it my cologne? Do I sweat too much? Perhaps I should try that new Britney Spears perfume. What was it called again… Believe? Fantasy? Trailer Park Mystery?
Getting back to the point, candlelight dinners are bad news. They’re insulting, impractical, and even a safety hazard. They are literally dangerous. I mean, what if, say, because there’s no real light in the room, my partner accidentally knocks over a candle? Well golly, nothing says “I love you” like a trip to the ER with a face full of fire.
If my boyfriend burned his face off, there’d only be one way I could look at him… we’d be having candlelight dinners for eternity.

Candle lit dinners seem all romantic and all but like they're pretty useless. What a random rant lol.
We don't really have types of dinners though…we just have dinner lol. xxD Have a nice day!
Chrys
Oh, I dunno. I mean yeah I get what you're saying and all. But at the same time it does seem romantic. I dunno, I'm always really awkward in romantic situations so I don't think Candlelit dinners would be for me, but at the same time I can see the appeal. It gives a sense of privacy & intimacy. In the blaring neon lights everything is out there, for everyone to see. In lower lights you feel closer to the person…
But I agree with you on Britney's perfume… Ew.
And I didn't really do anything else to the Santas except sit there and frown at the person taking the pictures. I think. I dunno, I was a bubbly little child, I probably thought of other ways to make life difficult. Can't remember 🙂

Mary
*high fives* thanks yet again. Affiliates are more my firends and I keep in contact with them and a link exchange is just someone who has my link and I have theres. Like just a advertising oppurtunity.
What you wrote about candlelight dinners is funny I never thought of them like that. I always thought candles were sorta like aphrodesiacts. Weird i knhow 😛
Rachel
Lol "redesigning" eh? xP
Oh I don't know, it just seems like you see them everywhere (everywhere = in movies). Oh, want to get the girl? Want to make up with her? Surprise her with a romantic candlelit dinner. You "can't" have a romantic dinner without the candlelight. See what movies do to us? 😛 Cliché I tell you! xD
Rachel
Haha! I totally would if you know it didn't involve cleaning xD
Once again, hilarious blog! Completely true as well; I never understood why candles automatically make a dinner romantic. Plus it's SO cliché.
