PART 2 Reading
Tips of having a date
At some time, we will all go out on a date. It is important to remember several things that will make the whole experience memorable.
Everyone is nervous when they go to a date. They worry about whether the other person will like them or if they will make a fool of themselves somehow. If you keep in mind how nervous the other person is, you will be less nervous.
Clothes, your car and how much money you have are NOT the most important things. What is important is that you make the other person feel comfortable and can make them laugh.
Think about where you will go on a date before you meet the person. No one likes to play the "what do you want to do" game. Have a good plan before leaving the house.
Dinner is always good and safe. Movies are usually OK, but choose a movie carefully. Bowling can be as fun as a walk in the park. Avoid sports or offering to cook at your house as they may make your date feel uncomfortable.
The big moment is at the end of the date. Should you kiss or not! There is no simple answer to this except to say that you should be natural.
Remember that no means no and no never means yes.
