Date Tonight!

I have a date tonight and I am soo nervous!

This boy is at least 2 leagues above me so I feel like I need to try hard to impress him or something.

eeep

Any advice on how to stop being so nervous?

also topics of conversation..I have a fear of awkward silences lol

so advice would be great :smile:

Well done - good luck with the date. My only advice would be to talk about things you know you have in common. Other than that topics might be: school, family, holidays, travel (where you've visited), etc.
Hope that helps.
Let us know how it goes

Aw I hope it goes well! Just be yourself :smile:

I know it's nerve wracking but I'm sure he's just as nervous!

just BE YOURSELF. Thats all you can do, and if he doesnt like you for what you are, its not worth pretending

Good luck hun! :smile:

First dates are always so nerve racking! (well the first 30 minutes anyway). Act yourself, don't think of him as '2 leagues above you' because he wouldn't want to go on a date with you if he was! :smile:

Oh & don't get really drunk!!

Ignore the drinking advice! I always find getting really drunk calms the nerves and if he does likewise then you can have some really deep conversations :biggrin:

Forget your worries, he obviously likes you if he's going on a date with you.

What would you normally talk about if you just met someone? Like a new friend or something? Just do the same but with more flirting :smile:

EDIT: Wow, you're stunning! I don't think you can get 2 leagues above you :smile:

Thanks for all the replies, it's all good advice :smile:

In the past I've had the tendency to act too 'friend-like' when i'm just being myself :/

what can I do to still be me but more flirty?

How are you too "friend-like" normally? You don't wama be way too sexually agressive on a first date but just small things like compliments and touch him on the hand or arm etc.
I dunno, I normally just do the flirting rather than thinking about what I'm doing

I just seem to talk to them exactly like i'd talk to anyone else if you see what I mean

I think i'll just go with the flow and just reciprocate if he's flirty etc

Dont think that he's above you, think that your above him and he needs to impress you!
You can be more flirty by doing stuff like laughing at his jokes, actually looking him in the eye when he talks to you etc etc

Just be chatty and yourself - being on the date is sign enough that you both are interested, if he's flirty, do some back! We like it when girls flirt...
