    So basically I ended my relationship with my boy friend because while I enjoyed talking to him, I didn't really enjoy being around him, I was never excited to go on a date with him, etc. It just didn't feel right. Most of my relationships with guys start out exciting but as soon as things turn physical I lose interest.

    I recently met a girl online, and this is totally different. I get butterflies when I think of her, and really look forward to her texts and emails. We have only been talking for about a week. We haven't actually met yet, we are going out next Tuesday night. I guess I am looking for advice? This is my first time seeing a girl in a potentially romantic way. I don't want to screw it up!
     
  2. Awe, congratulations on the date!! ^_^

    Advice... Well, just be yourself! You've both seen what each other looks like I'm guessing? And you've been talking for about a week, so you have some common ground to talk about things that interest you two. I know it's kind of scary. I think if you've already kind of hit it off, then it should be a really great date! Just enjoy each other's company. Flirt a little bit, but keep some mystery. Haha :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Do something fun, and let the date take it's natural course. If things are going great after whatever you're doing, grab dinner, then a coffee. Whatever. It's really just the same kind of idea as going out with a guy, seeing as how you're so gosh darn smitten with this girl though, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more. :grin:

    I dunno.

    Good luck anyways! ^_^

    Couldn't agree more with the last post.

    In addition to being yourself, let them be themselves. Whenever I go into a date expecting something from the other person (such as certain traits, personality quirks, etc., that will make me happy), it never works out. Whenever I take it easy and let them be themselves, it almost always works out (which may mean we keep dating, or that I run screaming :lol: - but either way I'm satisfied with the date). "When people show you who they are, believe them."

    Good luck though! Always exciting to have a first date, and it must be great to have a first date with a girl for the first time. :grin: Above all else, enjoy yourself!
