Question Posted Wednesday January 28 2009, 11:58 pm
Hey,
So last Saturday I was at a bar and I made out with this guy. Totally normal. I guess I'm "that kind of girl". I do not date. I ended up going back to this guys dorm and spending the night (it was very PG and cute).
well he asked me out on a date, and I am freaking out. I don't date, I don't know how to act.
Can someone share some stories?
Thanks

I remember my first real date, I was so nervous - i think i was feeling like by only being "that kind of girl" no one had really gotten to know me that well and i never had to be concerned about what the other person thought about me and now that i was going on this date i would actually have to "show some personality" and what would happen if he didn't like me.
We had a great time and we ended up going on a few more dates. After that we stopped seeing each other cuz we could tell we weren't really suited to be together. it at least made me feel like i could go on more dates later and not be so nervous.
if i had to make some direct advice i would say
1) pre-think of some questions to ask him - you'll likely feel awkward if you get to a point where neither of you are saying anything to each other - plus everyone likes to talk about themselves a little
2) he's going to ask you questions to - probably things like, so what do you do for fun, etc. think about what he may ask then think about a response --- u r gonna feel much more relaxed if you are feeling like you're prepared
3) buy yourself something pretty :-) quite girlie but if you're going to dinner and a movie or something, get yourself a new shirt and necklace or something - you always love the way you feel in something new

Just act normal, and be calm, dress in whatever makes you feel beautiful, also whatever may be apporipriate to the dates location. It's just like being out with friends, except with a guy you really like. If he likes you, and you two have already spent an evening together so you should be fine. :)
