“Are you okay?” “No, Norbert, I just vomited 😃” I literally cackled I’m so sorry Emma 😭
😂
I was cackling too I feel so bad 🥺😭😂🙈
Iconic
🤣🤣🤣🙄😅
Just... PLEASE write a book at your earliest convenience, this is a masterclass in storytelling and I desperately need to hear you tell more stories, any story, anything
Right?? I just felt like I was right there with her. Real talent there.
Literally yes! The sarcasm was everything! I feel like Emma could be an audiobook narrator!
@@beautyandherbooks
So true!!!
I wholeheartedly agree!!!
@@beautyandherbooks Ohh, yes, please, this would be amazing!!
never been on a date so thank you for letting me live through your experiences
Same😂
same
If that's really you in your display pic then I'm rather surprised you've never been on a date.
As soon as you said "Victoria's Secret," I wondered if the Christmas beau's mom picked out the present. The conversation might have gone down like this:
Christmas beau: Mom, I have no idea what to get her for Christmas.
Mom: Well, what does she like?
Christmas beau: [shrugs]
Mom: Don't worry about it, sweetie, I'll take care of it.
Mom proceeds to buy general, "safe" presents to give to high school girlfriends: skincare gift box, stuffed animal, hair accessory. I wouldn't be surprised if he liked the present you got him b/c he knew you picked it out yourself.
Thats what I was thinking.
Definitely was the guy in this situation once or twice when I was a kid
I hope I'm not on a bad dates list somewhere lol
@@kameronbelcher Self-awareness is the first step to many epiphanies. ^J^
As a woman, I suck at picking out gifts for other people, even for my own family, because I never know if they get mad at me for getting the wrong gift, so I prefer to ask. It's not always men being bad at picking out gifts for their partner.
So I prolly am a very bad girlfriend 😂😂😂😂
@@wolflover306 Oh, absolutely. Not being an adept gift-giver or not feeling confident your gift selections can affect anyone. Even if you know the favorite colors, textures, smells, and popcultural icons of your loved ones, there's always that chance that they might have preferred something else...but usually it's the thought that counts (?).
"Mom can you pick me up?"
"I'm eight hours away"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your story telling is incredible!! I was literally hooked the whole time! I would love to see more videos like this!
Haha thank you, it was so fun to make I’d definitely love to film more like this!
@@emmiereads please do!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it
My "worst" date was probably when I was about 16, so a few years ago now. There was this guy that I meet at youth group and I thought he was really cute, started talking to him and within a week, we're on a date. So we meet up for lunch and realize neither of us have any idea where we are going for lunch. Which triggers my inability to make decisions, however he is trying to be a gentleman and is like "you choose I'll go wherever you want to go" and eventually (after a good 15ish minutes) we end up at subway. I have not been to subway at that point since I was 10 and threw up in their rubbish bin. We order our food (which is stressful enough) and get our drinks and sit down to eat.
At this point I am so nervous my hands are literally shaking and I spill my entire drink everywhere. Literally everywhere, except on myself. It's all over the table, on him, on the floor, literally going out the door and down the street. I then go up to the subway server and I'm like "Hi, can I have some napkins" and they gave me one, to which I say "I just spilled my drink" they give me two more and walk away. So we attempt to clean up my mess with 3 napkins, and ultimately, it results in us taking our food and running away.
We then sit outside for 3 hours, in summer. My only topic of conversation I can think of is disgusting injury stories, so basically all i learnt about him was all the ways him and his family members have horribly injured themselves, and vice versa. This 3 hour sin the sun that results in us both being badly sunburnt.
I guess it can't have been that bad though, because he continued to see me after that and is now my husband.
omg the endingg i love this sm
Wow was not expecting that ending lmao!
Awwwwwww
Omggggg🩷🩷🩷🩷
I'm so happy for you. ❤
Frank’s mom: Frank doesn’t usually play this well, he’s doing it for you, you know? ;)
Emma: WELL, GOOD FOR FRANK. Did I know which one of those boys he was? No, not really.
Emma your storytelling skills are *chef’s kiss* I was so engaged the whole time. I’M BEGGING YOU. MAKE. A. PODCAST.
Your comedic timing with some of these books is just impeccable, I cackled at Julius Caesar and The Inferno
Your first date story is so wholesome, and first love's ending totally destroyed me. The christmas gift guy was clearly in love 😂😂😂
Hilarious video Emma!
The first date totally sounds like those 2 dudes were together
Haha, this sounds like a mortifying concept for the people featured in your story. Nonetheless, it's such a creative way to recommmed books. I admire you for putting out videos so frequently. Hope you get enough rest despite the busy schedule. Sending love. 🤍
thank you Tima💚 almost done essay season and then I’ll get a tiny break!
A) Top tier storytelling, 10/10 B) please tell me that “the ponchos are not going to save us” is going to be on merch in the future.
Loved this concept! Oh, Emma--the laptop one! My worst date was the only time I ever went on a 'let's go to the movies' date. It was this guy I wasn't even sure I liked that much, but he had said he'd take me to see 'Jennifer's Body' which I really wanted to go to. Unbeknownst to me, because of the rating we couldn't actually buy the tickets ourselves so we had to go with his older brother who sat directly behind us in a more or less empty theater and put his FEET up on the seat behind my date so that his shoe was between our heads, and he made really weird, sexual comments the entire film, which the guy I was there with thought was hilarious, and when it was time for me to have my dad pick me up, my date had the audacity to think I was going to kiss him. Like, absolutely not.
oh no that sounds awful😂
Omg I absolutely adore you Emma! No other person works as hard, and puts out such content. I apologize if this all sounds cheesy, but you never fail to make my day. ❤️
ah thank you so much Eliza, I appreciate that so much:') sending you all the love
"Are you okay?" "No Norbert, I just vomited." Omg Emma I want to give high school you a hug!!!
If you have time for a ridiculous story, here's my bad date/vomit story to follow up yours: I had my first boyfriend in uni a few years ago. I thought he was so sweet and smart and cute and I was absolutely head over heels for him. Our breakup was tragic. I'm not usually a party person, but he took me out on halloween, my favorite day of the year, to a club with his friends and I was sooo excited. But the thing was that he, a guy who never really drank, got super drunk beforehand and vomited all over me just as we were going into the club. I told him to wait for me while I washed vomit off of my feet and my costume in the SINK of a public bathroom (it was so disgusting I cannot describe it), and when I got back out, costume ruined, sobbing, he'd ditched me and left with some of his friends already. I had to get home with some of his other friends who were still there. Since it was the middle of the night we had to wait HOURS for a train and I was wet, freezing, crying and still smelled like vomit. When I got home I had to explain all of this to my mom. The next day he broke up with me over text and when I walked right by him and his friend on campus a few days later, he acted like he didn't even see me. I was devastated. This happened on the weekend and I remember that Monday at school I cried all day, through all of my classes. I think I cried about it for months after, but a few days after it happened, I knew I was going to be okay because even though I was such a mess, I managed to pull an all nighter and wrote a 20 page research paper that was so good, my professor asked me to join his graduate program.
So I guess if I had to recommend a book based off of this experience, I'd say Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because I'm Fawkes the phoenix rising from the ashes baby hahaha. Dating can be so shitty but we can all get through it with courage and hope and good books
The reason behind your book recommendation is absolutely on point 😂😂😂 haha loved it!!
that guy sounds like the actual worst omg
Totally better off without him
He was filled with boredom. The only upside to his day was staring at his window, decorated by the flying pig solar panel while he popped pez’s from a Darth Vader dispenser.
Your life in dates is so writable.
i really like how you always aim for originality with your videos and the way your ideas always just work out it's even better plus this one is probably one of the funniest videos I've seen in booktube ♥️
thank you Camila! 💜
I definitely agree!!! ❤️
28:43 “I’m like a broken record that can’t stop playing” sounds like it belongs in All Too Well 10 min version
Ahhhh, that theme-park one is scandalous!! What an absolute trooper you are for getting through that day 💪🏻 and I have absolutely no words for Norbert, that is shocking behaviour from him! Does not deserve to share a alias with Hagrid's first dragon
I am absolutely obsessed with this video and I need more in the future!!
The laptop story had me cackling 💀💀
oh, emma. this is the best thing i've seen all week. at least all the bad dates made you come up with this brilliant idea.
For years now I've been a 'silent visitor' to your channel but now I just need to tell you how that was 40 minutes of THE BEST entertainment! Thanks so much for sharing, you're an amazing storyteller :D
The library date story had my soul leaving my body. I was cleaning my room and I had just started brooming when you talked about the water bottle and the laptop and I screamed!!!! Thank you for sharing and reminding me to keep my liquids a healthy distance from my own computer.
This needs to be a series, I was laughing out loud the entire time 😂
Me too. I'm still in tears. It is amazing.
Emma I'm laughing so hard at the gym please make more story time videos because this was hilarious!!! 😭
That was hilarious! 😂And thank you for reminding that certain moments we find embarassing and awkward right now would seem so funny, and become fond memories years later, good or bad, all of which has taught us something. I loved listening to yours and will be so glad if you make more of these!❤️❤️
every time i hear people talking about their date experience i'm glad that i've never been on a date in my 25 years of life 😂
oh my god the tension in the water bottle story had me DYING an ad popped in the middle and never have I been more mad - your storytelling skills are so good and the book pairings are SOO funny and great recs too
"What's in the box!?" Please tell me that was a Se7en reference. Such a fun video idea. 💕
haha yes!!
this is the funniest video idea I've ever seen, omg I'm dying. thank you for coming up with the most interesting and creative ideas! you're videos are endlessly inspiring and these are also some really perfect recommendations. I think most of us have a funny and innocent first date experience from when we were much younger and we awkwardly watched a movie together and then never spoke again hahah nice to know this is a collective experience. Also dying at, "guys i didn't have a book with me".... that's the absolute WORST. I hate being caught outside of my house without a book.
Also i absolutely adore your bandana, so cute
A really bad date that I went on was with someone I was friends with from class. We were in fourth year but apparently he was kinda crushing on me since second year lol and he knew me bc we were in the same major so we had a lot of classes together. Anyway, this guy drunkenly admitted that he had a crush on me and i told him like oh thats really sweet but I am going through a really weird time in my life so im not really interested in dating anyone rn but i def care about you as a friend. and then a week later he asked me on a date and I said no because i already explained that going back into dating wasnt something I was ready for... and then a week later, in front of people we knew from class he said "when are you gonna let me take you out to dinner?" so i felt really put on the spot, super awkward so i said okay. that weekend he came to pick me up, gave me flowers (which was cute) and we went to dinner which was super awkward and I got overly full. then we went to the bookshop thats connected to the restaurant being the book nerd that I am (yes, i bought a book... The Convenience Store Woman...). after that, things were still really awkward and the conversation was not flowing well. And hes like lets go back to my place to hang and smoke shisha. I got really awkward and I'm like "cool ill let our friends know to meet us there!" and i dont even let him say anything, i'm already calling my best friend and telling her to meet us at his place in 10 mins. So messy. I told him i just wanted to be friends after that but he was really pushy and I eventually stopped talking to him bc the vibes were OFF
@@alexandraramz I'm really glad you stopped talking to him, the fact that he was so pushy about going on a date with you even though you said no so many times is a very bad sign already
Hope your later dating experiences were much, MUCH better or at least that you'll have amazing future dates, keeping my fingers crossed!! 😊🤞🤞
Aaaa I love thissss lol, your stories are so fun. Please do another one with the good dates you've been on, I'd love to hear those!!!
i can't tell which is the best part of this video, the premise, your stories, or the apt book recs! edward sharpe and the magnetic zeroes are so fun live ~ thanks for sharing ~
i come back to this video every few books because it’s just become my comfort video and your way of talking is so relaxing and calming, thank you
the second you picked up great expectations i got HYSTERICAL. thank you for all these recs and i hope you go on some amazing dates!!
Emma you're so so so funny, I love hearing you talk it's like watching a stand up set!
The fact that you're real busy but still posting to update us, makes us love you more! Hats off to you Emmie. Xo ❤
I love that you have such unique book recs, so exciting!
Awesome video! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
The story that you said before introducing Great Expectations (that's one of my all-time fav btw) reminds me so much of me and my partner. I am a great gift giver. It's like one of my good qualities and my partner always panics whenever there's an occasion of exchanging gifts. One amazing thing about her is that she's very thrifty and industrious. So, her gifts reflect that quality about her. She always tries to give me something that she made herself with materials she gets at reasonable prices and I always give her the most expensive things possible, because I just feel that she deserves to be pampered that way every now and then due to being so down to earth. And I NEVER am able to express this dynamic to her! I can never make her understand that I appreciate whatever she gives me because it came from her and she put so much of her thoughts into it that it doesn't matter how much it costs.
You're such an amazing (and hilarious) storyteller! This video felt like one of those tangential conversations you have with a friend over a coffee and I would love to see more like it 💖
i love this idea omg and you killed it! you just analyzed your dates and the books in such a unique way, im speechless!!! lovely as always emmie 💛
this was so entertaining and comforting to me , thank u so much for sharing ! 💌
This is an amazing video idea!! The laptop story had me half crying, I felt your pain 😭
Oh, Emma. I’m much older than you are right now but your stories brought back so many memories of my own life dating as a teenager and in my 20’s. You’ll add so many more “wonderful” stories to your collection as the years go by.
PS: First Love is a wonderful book 🖤
This NEEDS to be a new Emma series!! Your story telling is hilarious and so calming. I would happily watch hours and hours of this 😂
Emma describing her worst date experiences and right after that, suggesting a book with a plot/theme so similar to it is what I'm here for! 🙌🏻💖 This concept is funnnn!
Looooved this video! Listening about your past dates makes me feel like I know you more now. Great concept!
Loved your stories! :) The PEZ-gift was so wholesome, as a guy I would have loved it. I still have a small PEZ collection somewhere. And you seem like a very sweet person btw. :)
You are a fantastic narrator, I really enjoyed listening to this. Thank you so much for going through all this
and being so brave.
I just want to tell you thank you for this fun video. I just handed in one annoying assignment and this just lighten my mood before I start studying for midterm tomorrow.
I know all this situations were unfortunate for you but the way you said the stories was just fun. Love you ❤️❤️❤️
Emma, This was one of your best videos ! I enjoyed your stories so much,and I loved how you tied the dating experiences to the books you showcased. You and I share the exact birth date ( not year though). I felt your pain with all your dates especially the last story. It seems like every time I had a special date or any plans I always had my period ! I suffered my entire life with period problems. I love how you're not afraid to address that topic. I hope you do more videos like this,it brings us together for so many reasons. I hope you have some better dates to share with us at some point. Thank you for your excellent videos and content.You are a master story teller ! Happiness, Cindy
my good I love how you are telling stories I can feel your pain but also the funny things coming out from them
This is my absolute favourite video of yours!!!!! The comedy of the lit choices as well as your fantastic storytelling - omg do I want more 😂
My worst date:
We meet at a bistro and sit outside. The food arrives. He has a salad and when he starts to dig in with knife and fork the plate topples over. The salad falls in his lap and on the ground. He picks it up, puts it back on the plate and eats it.
His pants are drenched in salad dressing. He says: “I know that we want to go to a wine festival but my pants are wet. I don’t want to go back home to change clothes. Can we go to the movies instead? My pants will be dry when the movie is over and then we can go to the wine festival.”
The movie is an experimental piece with a talking brain in a fish bowl who is having migraines and people drop pain meds in the water. The whole time my date is reeking of salad dressing really badly.
After the movie we drive to the wine festival in his car. The salad dressing smell is filling up the air.
We arrive at the town of the festival. I tell him: “You better park outside the town center because it’s packed there.”
He disagrees, drives into town and we are stuck in a car jam for at least 2 hours, with salad dressing smell all around.
I recommend Perfume by Patrick Süskind. It’s the story about a mass murderer who needs the smell of fresh blood to create perfumes.
Omg that was absolutely hilarious!😂 you're a natural storyteller!! thanks once again for being there for us all, I think we can use the comfort of your videos now more than ever
This format?? I’m in love.
I just love all your videos but this has to my very favorite. The library story was so sad but hilarious. And the bus vomit story! So glad you survived the lightening!
Thank you so much for sharing thses stories, Emma! I am in a bad place considering my dating life because of a previous relationship, but this video really brighten my mood and day honestly. It was exactly what I didn't know i needed
This was one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen in my life, I WHEEZED at your descriptions 💀💀💀 PLEASE do more of these 😂
Such a fantastic video and very funny mixed with cringe. Thank you for being so open about such personal events. I honestly think you have had an amazing idea with this concept. I think you should consider writing a book in this format. First start with writing a short story about the date, which would allow you to go into more detail and backstory and such, then follow each short story with a book recommendation and an essay about the book and how it relates to the story, theme and events.
I could see that being a very popular book, especially for teens to early 20's women how may be going through or about to go through similar situations.
The flying pig part was hilarious Emma... 😂😂😂
Yes that one got me 🤣🤣🤣
Your videos always make my day and this one is so creative, I remembered dates in my past while watching but now the memories are lighter, I feel like I can laugh with you about them
"The ponchos will not save us" is going straight on my list of phrases which shouldn't have been spoken but the universe somehow came together to make them happens ! thank you, this was a ride and quite a compelling way to connect books to experiences ^^
It's wonderful that you can bridge your bad dates stories with your book recommendations. A Superb way of introducing book!
such a nice video idea! feels like a chat with a friend :,) and makes me feel less bad for not dating in high school
All your videos are so unique and give off such good vibes! I love watching them and finding out about new books!
My JAW on the FLOOR at the water bottle on his lap top. Oh my goodness. I am so sorry this happened, but thank you for sharing because I am cackling. What a fun and unique video! Would love to hear more stories
You're a natural storyteller, and I hope you make more of these 'storytime' book recommendations. Thank you as always, it's been two hard weeks with everything that's happening now in Europe, and this video really made me laugh. Hugs!
your best video concept yet! absolutely adore you for your storytelling
This is such a creative way to recommended books! So sorry you had to go through such awkwardness!
Your ability to match your date to these books is incredible! (I'm really sorry you had to go through this, but you're so kind to share it in a funny way)
This video is purely perfection. I have no words.
I have never seen a video like this and it was sooooo much fun to sit through. I don’t laugh out loud when watching CZcams videos but this one sent it for me. Thanks Em! Thanks for telling us your life dating stories.
You’re book videos are always so intriguing! Thank you for all of The awesome book content!
oh i loved your stories, and i would love a part two! small suggestion, but i think it would be even funnier if you gave them titles.
my bad dates usually arose from the fact that i had no idea that they were romantic, not just outings with a friend. the worst case of that - i was around 14, went to a school in a new town, so i kind of clung to a boy who knew his way around. he was inviting me out, i even met his friends, but the incident that made me realize that he's not thinking of it as platonically as i am was when he asked me out to a bookstore that he thought i might like. i don't know if he had read more than two books in his life. i, as a rational being, told him i can't go in a most awkward way imaginable, and then avoided him for two months.
honestly idk why but being rec'd books in this way makes me a lot more excited to read them like for some reason, even though ive seen some of these being talked of before, here in particular ive been like 'okay sold'
I appreciate that you also recommend books that you actually like when doing these!
Emmie’s so consistent but still creative. I’m so exciting to watch this video! (love from a small CZcamsr)
awe thank you so much!
You tell your stories so well omg!!!
“This isn’t even a competitive team!” Hahahahaha, that’s such a Canadian comment. Sloppy passing. Hahahaha. That’s pure gold.
I loved this what a great idea! Thank you!
I couldn't help myself but smile when you said you finally got to go see the concert you wanted and had a blast there
This was such an original idea!! great video Emma
This has to be the funniest vlog I've watched. Ever. And it comes with good book recommendations ! Burst out laughing when you suggested Julius Caesar: a great play but the worst date possible. You have masterfully told your bad dates and skillfully linked them to great reads. Please, please do the same with the good ones.
Dude I freakin laughed at the period story and when you couldn’t tell which one was Frank playing Hockey 🤣🤣 and I know what it’s like being the 3rd wheel, so sorry you had to go through that with your bf 😭💔 I loved this vid 💖 can’t wait to hear your “best dates” stories!
Same! I was laughing so hard!
This was so entertaining. Thanks for sharing Emma! ❤️
Someone please take this amazing person on the most perfect date. 💕
I never laughed so much at one of your videos as much as this one 🤣
Same i cant stop
This was one of my favorite types of videos you have done. Loved it!!
thank you!!
I am so sorry for all your pain, but you had me in complete stitches this whole video. I literally feel like any of these things could of happened to me. 😅
This was so fun, Emma. Not only do you give great book synopses, but you can tell a great story. I was laughing out loud regarding the concert downpour debacle! And here's the thing about the Christmas gift embarrassment: That was his mom's doing. No guy that young would think to get a girl those gifts--or walk into a Victoria's Secret to get them!--let alone have the funds to buy them. Trust me, his mom was behind it all. (I have sons and daughters, and my sons needed a little more coaching on this aspect of relationships.) I'd love to hear about your best dates and book recs.
awww im so sorry , especially the last date you told us about , i literally laughed my head off , and was crying at the same time , i can relate to the period one and cutting into your leg ,.. what we woman go through as well as periods and what ever else we have to endure in out lives as a woman . But least you can look back at these dates and laugh memories are worth alot especially if they make youlaugh now .. , we all pretty much go through shit and crap ... and men have it easy ... cos they do . but great video emma . have a great day .
emma please do one with the good dates! 💕
Great topic Emma! Would love to hear about your happy dating stories and book recommendations as well!!
Wow that really felt like a conversation with a long lost childhood friend about the mishap of dates we went on over the years. You are such a great storyteller Emma, you really put me through a rollercoaster from mortification to laughter.
I think it would be great if you do more of those sit down and talk about random stuff kind of videos. You always have the greatest ideas anyway.
On another note, during the only 'date' I went to, the guy told me all about his escapedes with former girlfriends and then when I opened up to him about my home life he said that he only dates those with daddy issues anyway. I dumped his sorry ass the next day although that really set the tone for my love life.
I feel like I can listen you tell anecdotes from your life forever! So entertaining!
now i need a video on good dates you’ve been on as book recommendations please!! :)
Bless your heart! Those were some bad dates. I loved this video and how you selected a book to go with each experience. I hope you had some good dates for another video like this one. I see some others have commented about you writing a book about your dates. I agree you should!
'there were great expectations'
this is such a fun video idea!!!!!!! loved the very accurate book recs
I loved this video Emma and I laughed a lot! Some of these stories are so wholesome
This is so creative i loved this video Emma!!
that was such a great video, and I would love to know more! also, i am so sorry about the paintball and the storm, girl you went through a lot!
