first date!
So I have a date tomorrow with a guy I really like. We have only met 3 times and its been with a bunch of people but we have been texting basically everyday and he finally asked me to go out to dinner with him and the movies. Im 14/f btw.. Im really nervous. like i have been out with a bunch of guys on dates but they have all been guys that I'm used to and known forever so it wasnt awkward. but what do i do tomorrow if things are awkward and we dont have anything to talk about!? any tips? conversation starters?
thanks!

Im 17, and a girl, so i know where you're soming from.. i didnt actaully go on a real date until i was 16 so lets see if i can help you out... Just try not to be nervous, try not to think about it the whole time as the first date and that what if you being too eager or something... just kinda go with the flow. Don't be quiet and not involved, but you dont want to be a chatter box either, give the guy something to talk about. If you know some of his friends ask how they met, or what they do on guy time. Just remember to be natural and yourself... you dont want him thinking your someone that youre not.

Hey there, I've been in your shoes before. Pretty much the same situation. Anyway, I think it's more fun when you don't know each other very well... that way you can talk about anything and bring anything up. Think of some random things about yourself to share, and think of some random things to ask him. That's what I did, and it ended up going fine. Don't stress out if you two don't "click" like you thought you would. Things like that happen, but it sounds like you two get along pretty well already.
You could say things like:
What is your family like?
What are your friends like?
Tell me about the funniest thing that's ever happened to you.
Tell me the most random thing you can think of.
What is your favorite band/movie/food?
What is your dream car?
What are you involved in at school?
And you could tell him stuff about yourself, like what you do on the weekends, what your family is like, what clubs you're in at school, the worst/best day of your life, or whatever. Think of some random funny stories to tell. I know all of this sounds really cheesy, but I did it and it helped me get to know him better. Also, the randomness kind of opened things up- he told me lots of random funny stories that still make me laugh when I think about them. Like, I told him about my worst day ever (which coincidentally was the first day we talked to each other). It was so bad that it was funny- I woke up late, failed tests, got a flat tire, messed up so much in band that my director made me stand in front of everyone and apologize, etc. Then, he told me about how he had a sweatshirt that he really liked- it was too small so he cut the sleeves off and wore it in public anyway. On our first date, we sat at Starbucks for two hours after dinner, talking about random crap. Just go back and forth telling stories and it will be fine.
I really hope everything goes well for you!
