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… BelieveFantasyTrailer 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.

oh my. lmpo.
really, whenever I need a good laugh, I think I'll just come to your site. *laughs*

Aww but don't think about it that a way 😛 I mean, candlelight dinners are like barbecuing, we humans like to be all medieval like 😀 reminds us of when we didn't have electricity XD And I still think if the guy would go to the effort of actually buying candles and setting everything up for me, it means he cares. Not, "Oh honey lemme just turn on the lights!"

If a medieval guy went to his lady and told her "oh honey, I've discovered electricity for you!"
Same thing 😀 it's cute! And I'm just a hopeless romantic 😛

hm.. really? my calendar doesn't look funky or anything? Maybe it's just me…

Well I partly agreed with you 🙂

Yeah, I am spending time with my friend but we'll be spending the time not at my house but at some unknown location… We haven't decided yet XD

I agree with you on your romance idea 100%. Most of the time the big things just make me feel awkward because I'm not doing any of those things for the other person, but the little gestures, those are sweet 😀

I've never had a candlelight dinner, good point though. XD

I read your last blog as well, and yes, holding your pee is bad, but I'd rather not piss myself, lmao! Well, maybe if someone was drunk (not that I drink), but yeah, lol.
Congrats on the new site as well. 😉

Ha, I don't think I've ever had a candlelight dinner. I don't think I'd mind it, but it depends on the amount of candles present. 😛

Your site name is amazing, I love it. xD
