homeschoolmom Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 [quote name='the_rev' date='Dec 28 2005, 08:37 AM']do I talk about like what she wants to go to college for. where, etc. [right][snapback]837695[/snapback][/right] [/quote] that's probably fine.
Sojourner Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 [quote name='the_rev' date='Dec 28 2005, 10:42 AM']It's weird... I met her at church in green bay. Talked for a while at the reception one day. Saw her Christmas eve. Knew her name, (first and last) knew where she went to school, (lived on teh east) had an extra ticket to what I'm going to, figured out which phone numbers to call in the phone book, called the right one, she said yes, and now we're going on our first date. [right][snapback]837701[/snapback][/right] [/quote] college choices and future plans are definitely good choices, then. Talk about hobbies and interests, ask her questions about herself and what she likes to do, and go with the flow.
scardella Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Why do I want to throw in something really random-sounding? Like "Make sure that whatever you do, don't mention how pee smells like tuna in a can. Girls hate it when you do that."? Anyway, be yourself and be honest, I suppose. Do something fun and not serious. I'd recommend a Star Trek convention. Not really, but, umm... Go coagulated milk tasting or something. Something she wouldn't expect. Go ice fishing. Go ice skating. I guess some of the essentials: - fun and lighthearted. - Has lots of opportunity to chat, provides convenient things to chat about. - Show that you put a little thought into it, but don't have a string quartet w/ a minstrel singing ballads of her beauty. (That comes later.) - Be flexible. - wear funny hats. always wear funny hats. - dress up in a tux, plus a funny hat. You especially want to dress inappropriately for the situation. I suggest playing football in a tux or suit. Perhaps go to a prom-type dance in a t-shirt and jeans. - Ok, ignore the two suggestions above, I really wanted to throw in something silly.
