PREMISE: You used to work together, but the listener has left the job so you finally go on a date. This scenario has the both of you on her front stoop, making small talk to delay saying good night.

MOOD/PACING: Flirty, dreamy, rather awkward. In the dialogue, I have a lot of ellipses (dot dot dot) because the performer trails off quite a bit, because feeling a little shy/awkward, but very much not wanting the night to end.

NOTE: This script is on the shorter side because it was adapted from a longer NSFW version, available on GWAScriptGuild. Please feel free to improvise further, if you'd like!

All text in brackets or parentheses are to help inform the performer (not to be voiced). Cues for optional SFX included, but not 100% essential. Improvisation, gender flips, etc. are welcome. Make it your own "First Date", and have fun!


SCRIPT: "First Date with Your Old Office Mate" (M4F)

[Tone: Shy and tentative, yet slightly flirtatious tone in this section. Quiet voice, slow pace. Imagine the end of a great date, and you don’t want the night to end.]

(soft laugh) Well, thank you for a wonderful time…

Yeah, it was fun!

No… I don’t have to get up too early tomorrow… it’s such a nice night, isn’t it?

Mm hmm, yeah, we can sit on your stoop for a little bit. [optional SFX: sound of sitting down]

I love the early autumn, you know, when the days are warm, and then at night, it cools off a little bit…
And you can just feel the first hints of colder weather… but it’s still warm. Yeah, that cusp of the change of seasons is amazing.

Well, anyway, I’m really glad that you reached out. I know we’ve been kinda going back and forth for a while…

Yeah… right… well, I guess we couldn’t really go out when we were working at the same place…

But now that you're not there anymore, there’s, uh… less potential for awkwardness, I guess. (soft laugh)

Although I have to be honest, I feel a bit awkward right this minute. (chuckles) I don’t know why… I felt like we had such an easy time tonight, it’s so easy to talk to you.

Yeah, it’s funny to be with someone that you’re so familiar with, in a certain context… and then, be with them in a different social setting… in a different context, right?

(shyly) Well, anyway, I hope we can do it again.

Yeah…? You do…? (smile in your voice)

No, I’m not seeing anyone on a regular basis, you know… I have, uh, some people that I kinda hang out with, but… how about you?

You always seemed like you were rushing home, or rushing off of work. I always felt like you were going home to somebody. (sheepish soft laugh)

Oh, no? You were going to class? Oh! You were very secretive about it.

Well, I guess I never thought to ask. I mean, it's not in my nature to ask such things.

But, um, yeah, that’s cool. (shivers) Oh God, did you feel that? That breeze was chilly just now. Are you cold?

Here, let me put my jacket over your shoulders. Oh no, I'm fine. I run warm. (chuckle)

I mean, you could just go inside, you live here... No? I'm glad.  (soft laugh)

(tentative) Can I kiss you? (sound of soft kissing, soft moan -- you've been wanting to kiss her all night)

Mmmm, that was nice.

Well, yeah... of course, I was interested in you. But I try not to think about someone I work with in that light. It's not a great idea. You know how it is...

But yeah, to be honest, it was always in the back of my mind. (laughs) That’s such a guy thing, isn’t it??

(laughter in your voice for this part) I just remember seeing a meme somewhere, there was a picture of a guy, and he was walking around… it was an illustration, right?
He had a semi hard-on, and there was, like, a speech bubble: He was basically saying, “Can I fuck you?” (laughs)
Yeah, and he was at the workplace or something, I can’t quite remember… he was standing behind a desk or a counter or something, and his coworker, a woman, couldn’t really see. And he had this look, like, you know, a silly cartoon look? (laugh)
I don’t know, that’s just what I have in my mind when I think about… us guys, you know… getting turned on at inappropriate places. I’m sorry! (laughs) I swear that's not me. Not really... (more soft laughing)

...Are you kidding? The guys in the office totally had the hots for you.

Well, yeah, I'm only telling you this now because you'd left. It would be REALLY awkward to tell you if you were still there! (self-conscious laughter)

Oh yeah, I'd bet you anything the guys in your office now also have the hots for you. No doubt about it.

Are you kidding? The cute “geeky girl in glasses” look? That's like every guy's fantasy. (shy laugh)

Absolutely, I am sorry to break it to you. That is totally hot.
No, it is not an urban myth... (trail off as you kiss her again; appreciate whimpers, etc)

(whispers) Do you want to go inside? Yes, let’s go…

(Optional SFX: getting up, housekeys, door opening, door closing, etc. Or simply, a pause to signify a shift.)
