As an Instagram artist, I cut out cardboard figures and pose with them in silhouette at sunset. Over the years, I produced more than 300 of these and many have been dates of one kind or another.

Previously, I've also done a few posts of my cutouts in other themes here on Bored Panda. One of them covers the pandemic in a humorous way, and sesame street characters, as well as in freestyle. I've also done one with horses, and another one with various other animals. My latest post was about spooky characters

Happy Valentines Day, everyone!

The Honest Answer

The Honest Answer

I think I screwed up again. On our first date, Shannon asked for my opinion about her weight and like an idiot I told her the truth. I said, “Well, if I’m totally honest…yeah, I think you may be a little too thin.” And that was it. At the end of the evening, I didn’t get even a single lipless kiss goodnight.

The Challenge

The Challenge

After our date, we went back to her place and things got…a little steamy. Honestly, I had no idea how I was going to satisfy her, but sometimes…you just need to dive right in and see what happens.

The Miscalculation

The Miscalculation

Rather than take me home, Hagela took me to her place out in the woods. She lived in a small hut made of sticks and mud, but we never went inside. Like two excited teenagers, we headed straight for the hot tub out back, and I jumped in. The hot water felt so good after the chilly ride, I just closed my eyes and inhaled the aroma of the fragrant steam. For some reason, it reminded me of my mother’s soup which was comforting. Then, through the smoke, I saw Hagela standing there holding what looked like a small wooden paddle with a naughty grin on her face. Oh, boy. This was gonna be fun. “Get in here,” I said.

Talk about a bad first date. I took her to my favorite restaurant, and she asked if I had any recommendations. "The chicken's delicious here," I said without thinking. And things got really awkward after that.

"Ask me anything?" she said as we met in the warm water of the Gulf.

"Slow swimmers," she said and we both had a good laugh.

Prancer doesn't really like to have his antlers decorated; I know that. But he knows how much I like to do it, so he humors me. As I string the lights and hang the bulbs, he doesn't snort or get impatient or sigh like some reindeer might. He just stands there and waits and lets me be happy. True friends are like that.

The Night Before Christmas

The Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse.

Well, actually one mouse
was up stirring with me
Blending the milk in my
hot cup of tea.

She held a big spoon
moved it down and then up
As she stirred from the rim
of my Christmas teacup.

I watched her and waited
and enjoyed all the clinking
Of her spoon in the cup
that I soon would be drinking.

While I held her small saucer
trying hard not to spill it
Though it didn’t hold much
just a few drops could fill it.

But we weren’t in a hurry.
She could stir there all night
As the snow gently settled
As the sun lost its light.

Because after this year
that seemed never to end
It was just nice to spend time
stirring tea with a friend.

The Perfect Moment

The Perfect Moment

She asked if I wanted kids and I said, "Oh, yeah. A boy and a girl would be amazing." But I could tell that wasn't the answer she was hoping for. "How about you?" I asked back.

Heather sipped her sunflower tea and blinked her black beady eyes then said, "I don't know. I've always wanted a big family. When I was growing up, we had thirty-five babies a year throughout my mother's breeding lifecycle."

So that was kind of a deal breaker, but it was still a nice date. After dinner, as we walked along the beach, some samba music started playing somewhere in the distance, and we danced at the water's edge until long after the sunset faded and a star-filled sky appeared overhead.
