Question Hi, I know this is rather abrupt but I'm desperate for information which can
help me on my first dance/date with a girl. I'm naturally very shy and going
out with a girl whom I like a lot, makes me all the more nervous. I don't know
what she expects of me, or what I should do! Currently I'm in 8th grade and
the disco will be on the 27th of June (which is real soon plus its coincidentally
my birthday as well!) Please Please Help Me!

Answer Hello Kento. Okay; lets see.. I've been busy answering questions for about 2 hours now so I want to get this over with because my fingers hurt now so I'll get To-The-Point.
I'd say that this girl don't expect much of you. If you feel comfortable; have your mom teach you how to dance before this "Disco on the 27'th". I honestly can't help with how to dance because I'm 18 and I don't even know how to dance!! Lol. If there are slow songs on (which there probably will be some), if she asks to dance or suggests you two dance, ACCEPT her offer.
This is what my dates and I do when we dance(d).. Put your arms around her waist and side-step while dancing in circles.. Sorry; but I SUCK at dancing.
First of all don't be soo nervous man. There's nothing to be nervous about.. She's a girl and you like her? No big deal,, riight?. You'll be fine. Believe in yourself; and if any of your friends are going, introduce this girl to some of them if you see them. Just be casual; and talk about simple things. Such as: talk about pets, family, parents, school, music, movies, ect.
It'll all be fine so don't worry. If you need more advice, please follow these directions:
