Question
I have known this girl for sometime. We are going out on a first date in a few days. I dunno what to wear. I don't wana screw up this date. The last date I was on, i was tongue-tied. I could not think of anything to talk about. This time I wana go prepared. I need to know some interesting conversation topics, conversations that will last hours. Also how should I act around her? Should I bring her a gift?


Answer
Joe-

I would maybe get a flower as a gift, but only if the situation calls for it.  It all depends on what you're doing on the date.  

Conversation topics?  News, good books, school life, home life, hobbies, interests.  The list goes on.  Make sure that the conversation isn't one sided and that she's contributing as well.

Expertise

I can answer almost anything about general teen dating issues. If you need basic advice, even outside of Teen Dating, I can most likely help you with that. However, I can`t match people. I can answer questions like "what did they mean when they said/did that?" or what to do in certain situations.

I'm a 27 year old music teacher. I've had several relationships in the past to give me quite a bit of experience in a variety of areas. My friends and students often come to me for advice. I'm often told that I'm easy to talk to and hair an air of trust and understanding. I thoroughly enjoy helping others and I will give you the best and most honest advice I can. BR>
