websites needed
This weekend I'm going on a date with my best friend (haha, I know) and he's taking me to center city, philadelphia and we're seeing a show, eating at a nice (expensive)place, and going shopping around town. I need some tips on what to wear, how to present myself, but MAINLY the proper etiquette for eating a nice place, and the show... I don't need dating tips, I just need to learn how to act like a PROPER YOUNG LADY, because I was never taught manners, and my friend is totally brought up well and he's very very proper. Thank you!

NEVER cross your legs at any point (as in place one over the top of the other). Always use your cutlery from the outside and work your way in. Don't talk with your mouth full or eat with your mouth open. Don't put elbows or arms on the table, especially while you are eating and whatever you do, don't belch! Put the napkin/serviette on your lap. Don't tuck it into the neck of your dress/top. Don't slouch at the dinner table or at the show. Speak with a voice that is soft and never raise it. Don't whoop or cheer at the end of the show unless your date also does it. Wear something demure. Something that goes to around knee length and doens't show a lot of cleavage if you wear a dress. If you don't wear a dress, do not wear jeans or trousers. Wear a smart, plain skirt and a blouse or other smart top. If there is anything on the menu that you can't understand because it is foreign, tell him what sort of foods you like and ask him to order for you or ask for an explanation of what something that sounds good really is. It's not worth risking ending up with something truly disgusting because you don't want to admit you can't understand the menu! Finally, when you have finished eating, don't wipe your mouth with your hand if you think you have food round it. Use the serviette by dabbing, not wiping.
Those are all the points I can think of but please also remember that you are going on this date with him because he already likes you as you are. The only thing you need to worry about now is being yourself and having a good time.

This may not seem helpful to you, but think about it this way. Your best friend is already best friends with you- indicating that he already likes you just fine the way you are. If his proper ways really clashed with your informal ways so much, you wouldn't be best friends. You just need to be yourself, the same person he agreed to go on the date with. I mean, there are the obvious faux pas like not burping for everyone to hear or snorting when you laugh, but even sometimes in a nice setting it could be even funnier. hahaha. Just act the same since he's the same best friend you've always had, even if he might be turning into a boyfriend as well.

But I'm not sure if these are the BEST sites.
But I actually think they're pretty good.
Espically for someone who has never been taught manners before.

That's all I basically found that are really good, and easy to learn.
Hope I helped.
Good Luck!
