First Date Tips

Jan 04, 2012

It can be hard enough to get up the nerve to ask someone out, but once you’ve done it you then have to start worrying about making it a date they won’t soon forget! With a little planning though, you can take channel your inner Romeo and give your crush a rush. Check out these First Date Tips!

Awesome Activities

When you’re in love, anything you do together is fun, but that’s not always the case if you’re just getting to know each other. Pick a first date activity that suits their personality, and that also won’t make you too nervous (for example, you may want to pass on sky diving.) Here are a few ideas:

  • Picnic in the park
  • Go to a movie (but make sure its something you both agree on)
  • Go to a concert
  • Hiking
  • Swimming
  • Go for dinner
  • Go to a party
  • Go for dessert
  • Check out an amusement park

Whatever you choose, make sure you do enough planning so that things go smoothly, for example figure out how you’re getting there, how much it costs and how long you want to stay.

Wear it Well

Don’t stress about how to dress, but you should figure out what you want to wear before the last minute – that way you won’t end up with an outfit that makes you feel awkward ten minutes in. It’s good idea to pick clothes you feel comfortable in so that you’re not fidgeting, or worrying about your appearance, but don’t forget to also try and look good!

Talk the Talk

There’s no bigger buzzkill than sitting in silence with your crush, so before your date try and remember things you’ve talked about in the past, their interests, so that you’re never short of conversation.

Another big no-no is constantly checking your phone, talking on your phone or texting. Lots of people do this when they’re just hanging with friends, but it can make that someone special feel like you don’t really want to get to know them.

Your friend who's not good @ english, you can probably teach/tutor her more. Like, teach her to say the most common words people say these days. And your other friend who speaks english but thinks that y'all are talking about her, if you have already explained it to her once, try telling her how you feel....that she shouldnt think that y'all are talking about her...b/c thats not what friends do. #bff Hoped that helped ! :)

If you're gonna say "whatever I am" and not listen to what we say to help you, then don't make a thread about it. Okay? I agree. People will misunderstand her as being "attention seeker".  Thanks. (; and I agree with you. I really hate it when people give up their time just to help someone and they don't listen. It irritates me. u awesome at advice
