TikToker Explains Why You Should Never Have First Dates On Saturdays In Hilarious Rhyming Rant

TikToker @welcometothepeasant party sounded off in a Dr. Seuss-style rant about why having a date on a Saturday as opposed to a weekday is a terrible idea.

Anyone who's participated in the dating scene knows that they have to invest something of themselves in order to seek out new relationships: money, feelings and vulnerability, and, of course, time.

It can be so hard to commit to setting a date for going out, not just because it means putting yourself out there, but seriously, what a waste of time if they don't show up or the date turns out to be a flop!


That's why TikToker @welcometothepeasantparty argues that when you first start dating someone, you should never commit to going on a date with them on a Saturday.

To drive her point home, she hilariously presented a rhyming PowerPoint presentation while yelling the message.

The main point of the video is that Saturday is the core of the weekend, which is many people's only free time throughout the week, so they should reserve that time either for themselves or for the people in their lives that they know will not let them down, so their weekend resting period is not ruined with bad dates or being ghosted.

New dates can happen during the already hectic week instead. If they turn out to be a great date, that only serves to make the hectic week better!

Some were thoroughly entertained by the rhyming presentation.

Others agreed that Saturdays weren't meant for the dating scene.

Our time is limited and precious, so it's important to fill it with as many of the things and people who make us happy and who make us feel fulfilled.

While participating in the dating scene can certainly be a part of that, this TikToker might be onto something in suggesting that there are certain times that we should reserve for...not dating.

When a new person is coming into our lives as a potential friend or partner, there's no telling if the situation will work out or if their commitment to us will match our commitment to them.

At least while we're figuring that out, maybe it really would be better to reserve a special time each week just for us and the people we already know love us—and for many of us, that means the weekend hours.

Stay-At-Home Mom Offers Dire Warning For Other Moms After Husband Suddenly Files For Divorce

We've all heard the advice to not put all of our eggs in one basket, and while we generally think of that in terms of work, so that if one form of income dries up, we'll have a backup plan, it can apply to our relationships, too.

While it's perfectly okay to be in a monogamous relationship, we shouldn't place all of our happiness in our partner, or measure our sense of self-worth solely through the relationship, and it can be risky to fully depend on our partners financially.

Veterans Explain Which Things About The U.S. Military They Didn't Realize Until They Left

The saying, 'Can't see the forest for the trees' refers to a common inability to realize things about a situation a person is in while that person is in the thick of it. It's only after being removed from the situation does the person have the ability to realize where exactly they were and what was happening.

It's a similar idea to the saying 'hindsight is 20/20' which means reflection on past circumstances usually often more clarity than in the moment.
