Probably one of the most nerve racking situations for a teenager to be in, is most likely "The First Date." Thinking of all the possibilities of something going wrong on the date; What if i don't look good? Is there something between my teeth? Does he even like me? It could drive someone crazy. How can anyone calm themselves down? I know for me, Ihave to busy myself with a multitude of tasks before I can really calm down. Then there's the post date anxiety. When will he call for another date? Should I call? Am I reading too much into his actions? At this point I want to hear from our readers. Where have you and a first date gone? Where do you think is the most common first date place? Is there any major pet peeves you cannot stand while with a date? For instance being late picking you up... What could be some general guides for "Dating Etiquette." When is the right time to call for a second date, and who should make the first move? Obviously you don't have to answer all of these questions, I was just mentioning some that we'll cover in the next few days. xoxo KKSM
In my opinion, the best place to go for a first date with a new guy or girl is somewhere you're both comfortable with. You don't want a place that's too loud, because you won't be able to hear him or her. But then again, a completely quiet place can lead to awkward pauses in conversation...and no one wants those! Right? Worst pet peeve is definitely when you're on a date and the other person is texting or on their phone...It drives me crazy!
ReplyDeletePersonally I think a good first date would be the movies maybe. Just so it's not super awkward and you don't have to worry about nothing to talk about because you guys will be focused on the movie. And also it's not loud at all (well if you have decent people around you that is). You also have something to talk about afterworlds. I mean everyone has been to the movies before it's not something completely new and you both should be pretty comfortable environment to be in i'd say.
ReplyDeleteI definitley agree, I think the movies is the least intimidating way to start off a first date. It takes a lot of the pressure off first. First of all, you don’t even need to talk, second you have something to talk afterwards about. It’s a win-win situation. I do have a question though, should guys always pay for the date? I say no, but some of my guy friends say it’s just expected. I if the girl; think it’s rude though if the girl doesn’t offer to pay. I totally agree Meg, texting on a date is probably one of the msot annoying things. Their attention isn’t on me, not in a superficial way, but it’s true. It’s like trying to talk to someone while they are reading, the focus is divided, and someone feels like you’re not paying attention. http://www.seventeen.com/love/advice/date-ideas-for-teens#/category1
