5 first date dos

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, the rush to find the perfect date is on. Although you don’t want to get your hopes up and plan too far ahead, there is nothing wrong with strategizing a game plan. Check out our gotta-know helpful hints for your special night.


Dress practical. Not sure where you're going for your date? Of course you wanna dress to impress, but you can never go wrong with jeans, a super cute top and a comfy pair of flats. Hiking in heels or bowling in a poofy dress hardly sounds like fun.


Dig a little. There' nothing wrong with doing some Facebook stalking – just don't admit you memorized his interests and posts. Awk. Be natural and subtle. Easy example: If he's a Hungers Game fan, ask him if he's excited to see any new movies.


No conversation hogging. Nothing is worse than listening to someone drone on about themselves for hours. Yawn. Make sure that you ask about him and what he likes to do. After all, if you're into the guy, you should be stoked to hear his stories, right?


Speed dial your BFF. Before you head out the door, a quick pep talk from your BFF can help calm some of your nerves. No one knows how to make you relax better than your partner in crime. That in mind, do not call or text her during your date. You don't wanna send the wrong image to your guy.


Be yourself! The most important “do” of all: BE YOURSELF. A boy will never like you for who you are unless you let him see who that is.

So, I asked my parents about public school and they said YES! So.....my Qs
1) High School....how scary is it?
2) Have most high schoolers dated or had their first kiss? I want to be my bf's first everything.
3) Are all girls flirts or drama queens?
4)Do I have to wear new clothes everyday?




Hey girlie,

I went to public high school all four years! And trust me girl, it's not scary at all! It's can get a little stressful because the work can be hard and sometimes people start drama, but overall I had a blast. It's all what you make of it! Get involved in clubs, work hard in your classes, talk to your teachers and, most importantly, always talk to your classmates. Be social before class, in the cafeteria, during gym, etc. You'll make friends, get more comfy with being out-going, and will feel more confident! There will be SOME sassy girls that you wanna stay away from, but you will definitely find the girls who are meant to be your friends. You'll click with a group (you just gotta find them) and it'll be smooth sailin Smile The level of "experience" each boy has during high school will be different for each guy. Chances are, by 15 years old or so, a guy will have had his first kiss. But you never know! You could be his first GF, first kiss, etc. But it's not about that - it's about connecting with a guy, opening up and getting to know another person really well. And of course, having fun with him! Try not to focus on the numbers - instead, focus on trying new things, enjoying your dates, and being laid-back about it all. As for clothes.. DON'T WORRY about it! No one is keeping track of exactly what you're wearing. Personally, I didn't wear the same outfit in one week (5 days). But next week? I'd totally reuse my fave skirts, shirts, or dresses if I felt like it! Dress how you want Smile

I always get nervous when I meet new guys and I try to see if I like them as a friend or something more. After getting to know the guy and seeing were I like him as a just friend I want to be able to hang out with him and invite him over, but I always feel weird asking a guy to my house even if more guys would be coming. How can I get over this fear? I am a freshman and it's even harder if the guy is older than me. I don't know why it just is. HELP!!!!!!!!




Hey girlie,

You're probably feeling nervous because you don't know him that well yet! Inviting him over to your house is kinda a big step, so give it some time and get to know him by talking in school, chatting online/through text, talking on the phone, and hanging out outside of school (movies, mall, bowling with a group of friends). Once you settle into a friendship, it'll be a lot easier to invite him over to your house - because it won't seem so weird or out of the blue! Smile

I feel like I will never find love. I know I'm young and have plenty of time to find him, but if everyone has a perfect match somewhere out there then what do people do when their perfect match doesn't want someone? I just can't believe that there is a guy out there for me. I'm not that picky I just want a nice, loving, caring, proper guy.




Hey girlie,

Personally, I don't believe we only have ONE perfect match out there. I've dated a few different guys and they all made me happy - really genuinely happy - in different ways! Sure we didn't work out, but the fact that I was able to find someone after I broke up with my "first love" gave me faith that there are guys out there. But they're not gonna line up at your front door - some girls get luckier than others because they run into those guys faster/without trying as hard. You just gotta stick with it...and stop searching for it. If you try too hard to look for a crush, you'll constantly be disappointed. But if you just relax, go on with your life, take risks and try new things, then for some reason it seems like the guy always comes around Smile
