When you pick her up, ask her if she wants to go straight back to your place for some rockem sockem robots.

Try to think of her as a friend rather than a date, makes it easier for you cause your not as nervous, and she likes it all the same cause you seem less serious

If you're taking her to dinner, bring her flowers when you pick her up. And agree with her about everything. Give us some more info, like how old you are and how you met. Perhaps we could help more Dismail... :)

i'm 17 (18 next week) and she is 16.

we met at school and have been talking for two weeks, but so far we've only been able to see each other at school.

Whatever you do, don't mention ATOT, she might log on and look up all your old posts! :D

More to the point, in the days, then hours, then minutes, then seconds, then nanoseconds leading up to your date, For God's Sake, Try Not To Obsess About It! Instead, concentrate solely on butterflies frolicking accross a pastel landscape of happy faces basking in inter-species harmony . . . except, of course, when driving.

Hmmmmm, my little suggestion not working well, you say?

Ok, but just remember that when you asked her out, she said YES, and is no doubt just as giddy and delirious with positive nervous anticipation as you are. The strengths and qualities you have that made her want to go out with you in the first place will be the strengths and qualities that carry the day on your date.

Enjoy!

Just say "Sup bitch? Fsck?"

This message brought to you by the konichiwa dating school.



Make sure you don't take her to the movies. Not really much chance to talk in there.

Wonderful advice from a no0b. If she agreed to go out, she's likely looking forward to it as much as you are so don't worry about impressing her, just focus on enjoying yourself. If you do, she probably will too.

Don't walk in with an armed gun.... (Think back to Something about Mary :))
Just DON'T (& I can't emphasize this enough) do what Ben Stiller did~!

just hope she doesn't have an older brother that has a short fuse.

i've never been in a fight before, but every time i see a boy around my little sister ( she is 16 ) i want to hit them.

the little things count, such as opening doors and taking her coat

carry mints with you just in case

if there's a small break in conversation, just enjoy the hopefully comfortable silence for a few moments and then start a new topic

order something that's not excessively messy when it's time for dinner

respect her personal space-don't try to grope her, she won't like that. if you think the time is right to make a move, just ask her. she'll think it's sweet (and by this i don't mean ask her "May I grope you?")

movies are great-but be sure you know what the movie's about when you select it. few things are as awkward as watching two people go at it or listening to exceptionally raunchy dialog on the first date...but then again, it may give you something to laugh about later

she's going to be just as nervous as you. and if anything embarassing happens, just laugh it off

Def. don't agree with everything she says - you'll look like a spineless poor excuse for a man. She's probably just as nervous as you - take that into account too. Just ask em questions and listen to what they have to say and $hit. ;)
