Maybe Harry Potter isn’t the best at first dates…or dating in general

Harry Potter isn’t exactly the definition of suave. In fact, he might not be the best boyfriend in the world. Or even someone you’d want to go on a date with.

From what we know of the Harry Potter series, Harry had pretty terrible first dates. First of all, the Yule Ball was terrible. His first kiss with Cho Chang, she was crying, and then she basically broke up with him for a dead guy.

Did him and Ginny ever go on an actual date or just suddenly become an OTP who was going to get married even though they were children when they met?  Honestly, maybe he isn’t great at the whole love thing. Which is fair.

You can’t expect Harry Potter to be great at everything. He’s proven that he’s not the best at relating to children (remember when he told his son that he often wished he wasn’t his son?) and maybe, just maybe, girls aren’t really his thing.

To be fair, that isn’t the point of the series. But I do think it is interesting that everyone in the Harry Potter world meets the love of their lives while they are at school. Which, in the real world, is definitely not the case. Maybe if we would have seen Harry on a date outside of the wizarding world (or even just outside of Hogwarts) we could have seen what he’d be like.

But as it stands, I truly believe that Harry James Potter is terrible at dating and maybe not the best boyfriend out there. I guess it comes with being the Boy Who Lived and saving the entire wizarding world from the evil Lord Voldemort.
