First Date

[90scartoonkid]

I got my first girlfriend any advice for us ?

[Weatherman]

Assuming your relationship is going down this path....use protection. Lots of protection.

Otherwise, take things easy. Don't get so wraped up in the relationship that you burn it out.

[sdp]

you can't really give advice besides be yourself, every girl is different.

these are just basics at last that i've found out:

but taking that into account:

Things that make them moody:
Not calling them.
responding "I don't know, what do you want to do", its better to mention anything even if you know he doesn't want to.
not asking them how they've been or how they are doing.
being too forward ()
not being too forward (makes them feel not liked)
sometimes just about anything can spark moodyness :sweat:

things that make them un-moody and/or happy:
get her something that reminds her you care about her once in a little while (simple or complex)
take her out to eat
kiss her hand
carry her in your arms
be able to hold long conversations on the phone
make her laugh but also know to be serious



oh yeah, you also have to be extra careful how you word thins sometimes. ;)

I can also give you some ideas on stuff to do since they always expect you to find stuff when there is nothing to do :p

[FireWarrior]

Don't rush things, let all the components fall into place.
Treat her well, but don't smother her.
Remember that all your time doesn't have to be spent with her, both of you have friends as well
Also don't see the relationship as a chore or stressful. Have fun with her and enjoy her company.

[Tanooki]

go easy with it and don't rush things

make sure you converse quite often about deep material and not just frivolous "what did you do today?" material (though that is a good starting point for deep conversations)

be true to yourself and be yourself. they are two different things. if she wants to do something that you don't want to, then try it once for her. if you have some fun with it, then do it again to please her. to be yourself, don't go too out of your way for her. you might seem clingy. just relax, take it easy, and send her flowers once in a while, or maybe even look for things she likes and give her that instead

my last piece of advice, don't ask for relationship advice on an online message board :sweat:

[Kury Wagner]

Don't sweat trying to understand her. As a woman, I can honestly say, we're the most freaking confusing species ever. Just try not to tick her off, and you'll be safe. Also, invest in a helmet and a cup. Seriously.


Assuming your relationship is going down this path....use protection. Lots of protection.Yes, water-wings are crucial to any relationship. You might be thinking, "But none of the other boys are wearing them!" Ah yes, but those boys will drown. Besides, they come in a variety of colours, and you'll get used to wearing them, eventually.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Like every one else said, take it easy. Baby steps are fine and rushing this will only make the relationship complicated.
*insert wear a condom joke here*
Watch out for PMS week, being a girl i can tell you that we get rather moody and one word will set us off.

The most important thing is not to worry and just be glad that who ever the girl is,likes you for YOU. Dont try to act all high and mighty like some one else or how your friends act. Be yourself. Deffinatly. I wish you best of luck!
oh, compliments are nice. Give her compliments and flowers!:p

[En Sabah Nur]

Like others said, use a condom. Just don't carry it in your wallet all the time. If you do carry it in your wallet, change it at least once a week or if the packet looks worn. Latex has a tendency of degrading in high heat and high friction environment, and being stuck in a leather/pleater (worse) wallet and in your (most likely) jeans pocket creates lots of friction and heat. Double that during hot summer days.

Other than that, find out what she likes and what makes her happy. Knowing that, you will be a happy together.

[Lutochris]

Dump her, now. Just get it over with. That way, you can say you've had a girlfriend, and that YOU were the one that ended it. In the end, that's all that really matters anyway.

Seriously, 90scartoonkid...your threads are starting to become borderline spam.

[DarthGonzo]

Listen, how about confining all of this relationship stuff to just one thread. 3-5 threads on something like this is inane, in my opinion.

[Matt Hazuda]

Wow. all of these could be consolidated into a "Relationship advice" topic. Not three topics.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

My first date was to a movie theater, i think that would be a nice place to spend time at. Its not to vacant and other people will be around, but also you can have some personal time and talk to her

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Dont ram your tounge down her throat on your first kiss.

[Nimbleness]

Don't go on a date, just hang out.

[DarthGonzo]

Don't go on and on about what cartoons you like. Don't wanna scare her away.

For a first date, I think dinner and a movie is a good way to go. (My very first first date was miniature golf, but then again, we were only 11 or so. :D ) But all my other first dates have been dinner and a movie. There's not too much pressure, and having dinner gives you both a chance to talk about whatever. Of course, it might be difficult if there's not a good choice of "date movies" out, but find out what kind of films she likes. It doesn't always have to be a romantic comedy for a first date movie. :)

Oh, and I'd say it's best to avoid talking about politics and religion on the first date, unless you know beforehand her opinions on one or either are the same as your's. :)

[Lutochris]

Sounds like someone is bitter from their past relationship.

No, it's good advice trust me. See, if you dump her now, while she still likes you (assuming she really does like you), then she'll try to get back together with you. Go ahead and get back together, but act hesitant and reluctant about it. After that, you'll be the one in control of the relationship, since she'll always be afraid of losing you again.

That sounds too dirty...and it could easily backfire. Don't listen to the guy with the Everybody Hates Chris avatar.

Given past responses around here, I expected a barrage of "I've never been on a date so I have no advice" posts. That's not a put-down, just an observation. I haven't been on one either. And given everything I hear, I dread my first like a root canal.

Yeah, if some guy did that to me I'd tell him to... well, do something unpleasant and inappropriate for this post and find another guy more worth my time.

No offense to Lutochris, but be straightforward. Don't play any games, be honest, and let things come naturally. Don't think about first kisses because it might make you nervous. It'll come when both of you are ready. You might also want to wait a while before you invite her to dinner at your house and have her meet your family.
