First Date Jitters

So your crush finally asked you out. What now? 

Every one of us experiences the excitement and the anxieties of a 'first date'.  We all get caught up and try to make a good first impression - in hopes of scoring a second date with that cute boy/girl you've been crushing on for ages.  But let's not get ahead of ourselves and jump to thinking about second dates already... Everyone has to take it one step at a time. Remember, he already asked you out on a date, which means he already likes you.

Nowadays, it is common for teenagers to be a little intimidated and nervous on their first dates. We all stress about finding the perfect place, the perfect outfit, what to say and even how to act around them... But what we really just have to remember is to take a breather and RELAX. You have nothing to stress over. If they took the time to ask you out, you're already one step closer!  Just stay calm, pick the cutest outfit you have in your closet, doll yourself up a bit and dress appropriately in according to where he is taking you. More importantly, play it cool. 

Remember, first dates are supposed to be just for getting to know one another, find out each other's likes and dislikes, what hobbies you have in common, etc.  For instance, try to find a nice cafe around the block, have dinner and get to know one another. Make sure that the place has a good atmosphere where you can just enjoy each other's company. Keep it simple, be yourself and just enjoy the moment. As long as you stay true to yourself, chances are, he will ask you out for a second date. Who knows? He might just be the one.

TIP OF THE DAY:

Try not to give away your whole life story on the first date. You always have to leave them wanting more ;).
