Advice-Don't Laugh - Page 2

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[QUOTE]If you want to score some massive chick points, take her to see Shark Tale - 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!)QUOTE]

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

?

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

As to Lonehunter... *ignore*

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.

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� . 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:

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

. 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.

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.
