I'm just your average 24 year old girl as far as looks can see. I know that I seem young, and let's be honest..I am. However, I've been through a lot of things in my life.

And it wouldn't hurt for me to meet a few more people too!

17/f. My best friends know a guy (James) who is really cool, a nice guy, and a lot like me. They keep telling me that we will probably end up getting married or something (despite the fact that I have NEVER met him in my entire life... haha). Apparently the other day, James mentioned to one of my guy friends that he hadn't dated anyone in a while... and my friend flat out suggested me. Because of that, my friends arranged a get-together for like six of us on Friday- making dinner at someone's house. The sole purpose of this dinner is for James and I to meet and hit it off... seriously, that is the only reason this is taking place. My friends don't really beat around the bush much... James definitely knows that we are basically being set up (because we're both single and our mutual friends want to see us date each other). I'm definitely not opposed to a date or two in the future, but right now I just want to get to know James. I'm hoping that it will be a funny situation, but I'm worried that it will be really awkward. Like, "Hi, how are you? So, we're being set up." I really would like to become friends with James, and I want it to be fun... how do I break the ice? If you were in this situation, what would you do? Any help is appreciated!
Well first off, get those thoughts out of your head. If you think it is going to be awkward going in, then it will be. Just take a deep breath for a minute and be optimistic.
When you walk in, ask your friends "What's the occasion" and then kinda look at him and laugh. Just so he knows that YOU aren't awkward, but that you are joking about it. The less awkward you are, the easier it will be for you both. I'm sure you will both get a good laugh out of this one.
Promise you girl, this is going to be fine. It's good that you want to get to know him first and odds are, he feels the same way. Look on the bright side..you are starting out with common grounds: you are both being set up, you are both single, and you both share the same friends.
Good luck babe!! Hope I helped a little
