8 Guide to a great first date
1.Select a candidate: You’re better off snagging him at school, the gym, the grocery store, or the mall—some place that’s a part of your daily life.
2.Announce your existence: “First rule: don’t do anything like drop a pencil and pick it up in front of him! If you’re in school together, sit next to him in class every day, and eventually you’ll end up talking. Once you’re semi-friends, have a party at your place and invite him.”
3.Become his dream girl: “Be friendly in a cas way.
4 Keep things chili: “For your first date, try a place where your friends will be around.
5 Converse wisely: “Talk about anything but your past boyfriends—it turns people off. If I’m at a loss for words, I usually comment that my neck is sore— so that he’ll rub it.”
6 Order with cere: “I’d get a chicken and rice dish. Avoid messy stuff, like tacos or spaghetti. And share a hot-fudge sundae for dessert—that’s romantic.”
7 Be like Posh Spice: “Have class. That means don’t go further than a kiss goodnight on the first date. If the guy is really into you, he’ll respect that.”
8 Assess the situation: “I knew B was right for me when my friend said, ‘Look into his eyes.’ I did, and they were so sincere. Friends are great for a second opinion.”
