First dates are difficult. They
can be awkward, unfamiliar and
make your heart beat a mile a
minute. If this is the stage
you’re in right now, I’m here to
help you.
Dinner and movie sounds like
a good date idea, but it’s not.
You can’t talk during the movie,
and he doesn’t know whether he
should put his arm around you,
hold your hand or do nothing at
all. As far as the dinner goes,
girls usually have a difficult
time eating in front of guys. This
is because they don’t want to
look like a pig or have stuff all
over their face. Eventually a girl
will get used to eating in front of
you, but it will take some time.
My boyfriend and I have been
dating for 13 months and I still
feel weird eating near him.
A nice first date idea is going
bowling. This way there is
something to distract you if it
gets awkward. Bowling is fun
because there’s no pressure.You
will enjoy each other’s company.
After this, if it’s not dark
out, you can take a walk in the
park and watch the sunset. The
reason I say make sure it’s not
dark is because the first time I
hung out with my boyfriend, we
went to the park after dark and
didn’t know we weren’t supposed
to be there. Each of us almost
got a $600 fine! I know
everyone knows parks close
after the sun sets.
It is actually cute to see a guy
nervous on a first date. Both of
you will be this way; just don’t
lock your keys in the car, or lose
them. Let’s just say I’ve had experience
with that.
Here’s a scenario: It’s raining
and everything you have
planned is outside. What do you
do? Here are some suggestions:
Go rollerblading, ice skating,
laser tagging, or if you both like
to read, the library or bookstore
are great. Also, you could play
video games.
Or, you could go old-school
and take turns showing each
other tapes of you when you
were little. It will be a good way
to open yourself up, if you really
want to get to know one another.
However, this might not be the
best idea for a first date.
I would like everyone to think
about this: Do you appreciate
your other? You should always
make sure to hold them, because
you never know what tomorrow
brings.Also, be sure to tell them
how much you love them. A
simple “I love spending time
with you,” would be a nice thing
to say. If you don’t say this now,
when will you?What happens if
it’s too late? Then you will live
with regret. Appreciating your
other consists of taking a moment
out of each day to say
something like something like,
“Thank you for everything you
do for me.”
Let’s say your other is the
only one who understands you
and then all of a sudden they are
gone. What will you do? Do
they ever say, I don’t think you
appreciate
me?
Well if they do,
then change that. Do
it today. When you see
your other, hug them. Let
them know how much you
care about them.
Hugs are always nice to give
or receive. They are especially
good when you are having a bad
day. It makes things so much
better.
I would like to get some feedback
from you guys. What do
you think about these subjects I
bring up? Let me know what
you think through an e-mail.
Also, if I haven’t talked about
something you wish to know
more about, e-mail me. Don’t be
shy.
I hope you will read my articles
and stick with me. H?pe
