A word of advice...
Guys,Here are some things you do NOT do on a first date:
1. If she is less than 10 minutes late, you do NOT let the first thing that comes out of your mouth when seeing her be "UGH! Being late is the WORST thing a person can do!" You don't know why she was late, or if she had any problems, so SHUT UP.
2. If she is late, do NOT think that you are owed anything. Which means it is NOT ok to say "So what do I get since you were late?" Also, do NOT think she owes you anything because you are missing a baseball game on TV to be on this date, and say something like "We better at least make out tonight since I missed the game to be here." If you say that, you'll be lucky to "make it out" alive.
3. Do NOT spend the 15 minutes of previews before the movie talking about yourself, much less talking at all. Also, if this is a first date, do not tell her that you were about to put a nice shirt on but said to yourself "I'm not going to waste a good shirt if we're just going to sit in a movie theater."
4. If you get automatic text messages every time the score changes on a baseball game... first of all, put your phone on silent (if not turn it off), second, do not interrupt the movie to update her with the new score every time you get one of these text messages unless you know she's going to care. Chances are, she doesn't care.
5. Do NOT, under any circumstances, burp every time you take a drink of your soda. It's rude, and disgusting. If you absolutely HAVE to burp because it's causing a major pain, do it as quietly as possible and say excuse me.
6. If she is leaned in the opposite direction of where you're sitting, with her legs crossed away from you, and her hands clasped in her lap... this is not an invitation to move closer. This is a definite sign for you to keep as far away as possible. Do NOT lean in towards her, or keep staring at her hoping she'll catch on to your hints, you should've already caught on to hers.
7. If you choose the movie, and it's one that you know she didn't want to see in the first place... do NOT complain about it for the entire duration of the movie, ESPECIALLY when your date is at the $1 movie theater because you "don't believe in wasting $9 on a movie."
8. Do NOT demand a second part of the date (i.e. "Get in my car so we can get something to eat."). And, (surprise, surprise) when she says she's tired and is just going to go home, do NOT respond with "Oh, yeah right." She's tired because of the 2 hours she had to suffer sitting next to you, let her go home in peace.
9. When ending the date, do NOT say (in an irritated tone) "Well can I at LEAST get a hug???" If she wanted to give you one, she would have. And at this point, it's probably dangerous to have any physical contact with her, she may have a sharp object on her pocket with your name all over it.
10. This is a big one. Do NOT, i repeat, DO NOT continually ask her how she feels about you, what she likes about you, what attracts her to you, why she's interested in you, etc... (you get the point) When she wants to tell you any of these things, she will. If she hasn't, it's probably because you probably wouldn't want to hear the honest answer. So leave it ALONE. If you're looking for a self esteem boost, call your mom.
