Advice-Don't Laugh

[TheN00b]

OK, here's the bloody problem. Now, I know perfectly well that the vast majority of you are older than me (I'm 13, for those who don't know). I also know that, while I've been here for a while, I'm not anywhere near the likes of Trig and Co. in terms of notoriety. So I'm banking my reputation here on the premise that, upon seeing my problem, you won't laugh your asses off and tell me what a bleeding likkle kid I am; a lot of you probably aren't too removed from where I am. Here goes:

So, the whole liking bullshit aside, how do you handle being asked out for your first ever date? *Braces for tide of laughter*. Seriously, I need help. Like, hell, she's nice and all, and I'm kewl with going out, but I don't know; a) how to reply and b) what to do on the date (Preemptive response to Ivan and Squeeky: for Godssake, man, I'm an innocent thirteen-year old!). I need help, and I'm asking people who I see as both mature and wise (God help me). Any advice/tips (Ivan and Squeeky, see above).

[JetRaiden]

:lol: oh man....I guess my advice is, do whatever comes naturally, but at the same time play it cool.

[MrPaul]

First off. Say yes.
As for the date, you can't go far wrong with the cinema. Don't go to lazerquest or paintball.

[Jennyboo]

So if you like her your anwer would be yes :p and if you dont your answer would be no, As for the date ask her what she'd like to do. If funds permit a movie out is always good and if funds dont permit. Invite her over to watch a movie(get to know her) keep it clean and fun. If the movie isent a great idea again ask her what she'd like to do (im sure if shhe asked you out she has something in mind) JUst go with the flow :p be cool

[TheN00b]

Yay! Thanks for all the excellent replies; I don't believe I can actually find words to what it means (damn...)... Jet, shut up :lol: . But I'll take your and Paul's advice; it's probably good. Jenny, thanks for dat. I'm not huge movie fan, but it's kewl; as long as it's not horror (damn genes, I can't handle that stuff at all :( ). Any way you guys can think of of tactfully steering movie choices (heh, I sound like those Dear Abby nuts)?

[WritheNC]

1. Be yourself. You're only 13, so don't be afraid to talk about your interests as well as hers.

2. Don't take the date too seriously. Someone told my friend this when he started high school to date as many girls as he can because it's only high school. Then, when you're older and go to college, you know what kind of girl you want to be with.

3. Be a gentleman. It probably doesn't really factor in at this age, but get some practice. It's good to have manners; it makes a good impression on women. :)

[Baneblade]

Don't 'make it work', it either will or it won't. But it is nice to be respectful.

[MrPaul]

If you wanna be soppy (I don't recommend this for a first date, when you really wanna get to know her (ok, shouldn't happen at 13, but you never know):
A walk in the countryside/ nature reserve is nice if she has some class. I took my girlfriend to this derelict barn full of hay when I wanted to talk to her once. We sat in it, with an amazing view (miles and miles of fields, green, brown and yellow) and a reservoir and forest. After an hour or two a light mist descended and we watched the sun go down. Only problem was getting home! (no moon, in the middle of the countryside!)


3. Be a gentleman. It probably doesn't really factor in at this age, but get some practice. It's good to have manners; it makes a good impression on women.
So true!!

As for the film, how about a comedy? I don't know what you have stateside as you're always way ahead of us. :(

Great advice. It's very amusing at my school; unlike a lot of the others, guys who have no class get utterly rejected. Good fun to see dumb jocks burn.

Sobeukus, nice advice! I'll remember that.

As to Paul... Why go home? :brow:

[MrPaul]

As to Paul... Why go home? :brow:
I'll give you the honest reason:
It was dark, we were snuggling up.
*meepmeep*
"what the fuck was that?"
*meepmeep*
/something stirs
"holyfuckingshit its-a-rat!"
/girlfriend runs
/me runs

[JetRaiden]

:lol: :lol: wtf

[Boomer]

Well.. it really doesnt matter what movie it is, trust me. I just turned 14 in october.

Some advice from someone a little older....

1. Scary movies are very good and give you an excuse to cuddle up.
2. Being a gentleman is definately a good idea.
3. The best thing to do is take a long walk. Long walks result in long friendships.

one question. Are your parents ok with this?

[TheN00b]

1. Scary movies are very good and give you an excuse to cuddle up.
I'm not huge movie fan, but it's kewl; as long as it's not horror (damn genes, I can't handle that stuff at all :( ).

No.

But thanks for the other advice. Yeah, I'm assuming they're OK with it; they said I could date once I was 13. Seems a little late, but whatev's.

[Triggar]

If you want to score some massive chick points, take her to see Shark Tale (http://www.fandango.com/movie_page.asp?mv=85969) - you won't have to worry about awkward love scenes or anything like that.

Or, if your parents want to rent a movie for you, I'd recommend something safe like "The Princess Bride" or "Catch Me If You Can".

It would also be cute for you to pair a movie with a classic - like a meal. If you can't actually go out to dinner (or if you're broke), I'd recommend whipping up something cute like popcorn chicken with a honey mustard sauce and some ice cream. I'm sure your parents would help you out financially :)

As for the actual date - here's some platinum advice dished out from your favorite woman named Angela Cimato - awkwardness is something that you imagine. It's like monsters in the closet - if you realise that it isn't really there (and isn't going to materialize anytime soon), you won't act all weird. If there's a silence, you won't tweak out thinking that she thinks you're boring. Be cool, and ask her a lot of questions. Make her talk more than you do - people love to talk about themselves, remember that.

Good luck! (And smell nice!)

[Giovanni]

My advice would be don't be afraid of looking like an idiot.

One of my first true dates was with a girl interested in me back last year... pathetic? Yes. I've had several girlfriends before but not one date.

Anyways, we were watching some movie and her hands were cold so I said: "Here I'll warm them up for you." and I held her hands for the rest of the movie... at the end we kissed. At first when I had told that cheesy line in the cinema I thought I was gonna get laughed at... but apparently it was sweet.

Too bad she told me she enjoyed the kiss but wasnt sure about her feelings about me and yadiyadi yada. A week later she said: "I know your only after sex blah blah blah!" so I lost two months of progress and being a gentleman for nothing... not even a week of having a girlfriend eh.

Not to scare you or anything just to tell you to not be afraid of something you might think is stupid and don't get your hopes too high. After all it's only a date.

[Mag-Mower]

My advice:
Dont let your uncle know, or he'll try to sell her bust plus must
Dont make a picture and tell her you spent 3 hours on the shadding on the upperlip
Make here a cake
Get a Red Suit and a red fro
with this advice, you chould be fine

[starbum]

I'd offer some advice, but most of the things I would suggest are featured in songs by South Park's Chef or a certain Tenacious D song.

[WritheNC]

Too bad she told me she enjoyed the kiss but wasnt sure about her feelings about me and yadiyadi yada. A week later she said: "I know your only after sex blah blah blah!" so I lost two months of progress and being a gentleman for nothing... not even a week of having a girlfriend eh.

Yeah that happened to me too. But those are the breaks. You can't find love if you don't look for it.

As for that example, in my opinion that girl was either lying and wasn't interested in you, or she's shallow and thinks all men are only out to get in her pants. Better you found out in 2 months, rather than longer. :)

[Giovanni]

Meh she was hot and her name was Pamela... sure I would of hit it but it was her personality that attracted me to her first hand.

[EarlyDawn]

Mr. Paul has the right idea. You can't go wrong with the movies.

As far as liplocking (I'm assuming you haven't before.), it will probably be one of the most autopiloteriffic events of your life. Seriously. It will take you a few minutes to understand what's going on and what you just automatically did.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Don't think with your dick. It bears repeating, so I'll say it once more just so you get it: Think with the upper head. If something in a relationship ever seems weird, start thinking rationally and you'll probably realize how absurd a situation you've gotten yourself into.

[Lonehunter]

Get your self some Jack or Jim and get her nice and buzzed then the rest should come as instinct.

Shark Tale. I'll remember that. Thanks.
Thanks for the date advice.
So I take it that the usual old pizza/Mountain Dew-gamer odor ain't gonna' cut it ;)?

[QUOTE]Mr. Paul has the right idea. You can't go wrong with the movies.

Roger that. As to the thinking with the dick thing... Dammit.

As to Lonehunter... *ignore*

[biodemon]

Hmm it seams like every one wants to go to a movie, well i know its inexpencive and all but its like the standard SOP, why not go like bowling or some thing? Mix it up a little.

[Hezzy]

Things you should do:




Wear something nice; but not too formal. Wear something like a shirt and jeans.
Take her somewhere nice. If you take her to a restaurant, DO NOT let her pay the bill. Pay the bill yourself.
Going and seeing a movie is nice, but IMO it's clich� :D. Mind you, you're pretty young. Your choice.
Be a gentleman. Open doors for her. Chicks dig that.
Smell nice. Put some aftershave on if you can.
Shave if you have any facial hair.
Have high personal hygene. Scrub everywhere.
Make sure your teeth are as white as you can get them.
If you have braces that can be removed, take them out for obvious reasons.
Things you shouldn't do:



Try to get jiggy with it. The time will come on it's own if it does.
Overtip the waiter if you decide to go to a restaurant. Girls don't like that. It's just shownig off.
Don't wear something stupid like a hoodie, or a tracksuit. Those generally don't make it look like you took effort to look special. Chicks hate that.
Don't burp, fart or scratch yourself infront of her.
Go out smelling like shit. Seriously. Don't do it.
Go out with greasy hair. That's a big no no.
Make any sudden movements.
Sounds like you've got a good chance to get a kiss or two out of this, considering she asked you out. Follow those guidelines and you should be fine.
Just don't worry about any quiet moments. Don't try to fill the air with mindless babble. But that doesn't mean to be quiet. Make conversation.

Treat the woman like you would treat a mate. Obviously she'll be slightly different. Just use your head. Be careful getting into a relationship though.


EDIT:

Hmm it seams like every one wants to go to a movie, well i know its inexpencive and all but its like the standard SOP, why not go like bowling or some thing? Mix it up a little.

That would be fine if it was casual; but it's not. Bowling is too competative for my tastes. If I know women, they'll be all like "Oh, I'm useless at this!". I don't mean to be sexist or anything; but that's how it is around here :D. It wouldn't suit the situation.


If you can before you go, drop a subtle hint at her. Say something like "Hey, what do you think of that new film, <name>?". Add the name of a film you'll know she'll want to see. If she says something like "I'm not too keen on it" then you obviously need to do something different than the cinema. Experiment a little.

[Neon Apocalypse]

You guys are forgetting that making her laugh will take you far.

Girls love funny guys. So be funny.
Also talk to her a lot, get past the awkwardness and become good friends.

[Triggar]

That's very true.

A girl will overlook ugliness if you're funny.

No, I am not speaking from experience. My boyfriend is both funny and stunning :p

[Neon Apocalypse]

OMG triggar what are you doing up at this hour.

Anyways if you're funny and you flirt with her she will like you more and more.

[Spee]

Girls love funny guys. So be funny.



My only redeeming quality :lol:

I used this line on a girl near the end of a date and it worked:

Me: I'm such a chicken-shit.
Her: What?! Why?
Me: I've been trying to work up the courage to kiss you but I'm too nervous.
Her <lustily>: Go for it...

:lol: , nice. Well, last night was pretty fun, and now I've asked her out for a movie. Great advice, all! I really appreciate it. It's hilarious how geeky it is to do this (no offense to y'all), but I just love bein' able to get help from you folks :).

Advice : Dont get too close, relationships at your age dont usally last long/work out (dont get your heart broke):p

Heh, yeah, I know :). Though the idea of going steady is very appealing to a fellow like me.

[Squeeky]

Stick it in her ass.

[Everay]

Stick it in her ass.


even Jesus agrees with Squeeky.

[Triggar]

He's got a point. Nothing like a little lovin' up the poophole to spice up your first date.

Who am I kidding? My first date was going to see "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" with John Marsley and his entire family :lol:

[Hezzy]

Advice : Dont get too close, relationships at your age dont usally last long/work out (dont get your heart broke):p
Be careful getting into a relationship though.
