How do I make my first date less awkward?
steph asked:
Tomorrow I’m going on my first date with this boy I really like. We are going to a movie, and we might bring 2 of our friends. Unfortunately, our friends are awkward and don’t talk much. Is there any way I can make this less awkward? And if they don’t come, then what? What should I say if there’s an awkward silence?

if you bring two freinds you might scare him away

Don’t bring any friends, it’ll make it worse, because he’ll feel weird talking to you because he’s scared of the other girls.. if there’s an awkward silence, just as him questions like What classes are you in? Are you doing any sports this year? Which ones/Why not? So are your parents still together? if no.. Who do you live with?.. just random questions that will spark a conversation and tell you a lot about him. And if it gets really awkward, just make a joke about it

Alright, it really depends on what your age is. Though, to make it less awkward, you should try to make the person you like assured that you are there for him. Do anything that might work (bring up a conversation or something about the similarities you both might have). Though, try not to isolate the friends. Make sure that you have fun and laugh.

Movies are pretty easy as a first date awkward wise. There really isn’t too much 1 on 1 time, but you still are together. Your supposed to be quiet in a movie anyways so you’ll be set on not running out of things to say. After wards talk about the movie or setting up another date. Just be yourself, and remember he’s probably just as nervous.

Just as a personal preference, I’ve never favored the movies as far as your first date with someone. Strictly because there’s no talking in general when attempting to get to know that person. Your eyes and ears are fixed on the screen and dialoge. But since your date is pulling through with this, recommend a place for your date and friends to come for desert or to eat after the movie. Just to mix up the environment and to break the silence. It would give you a great opportunity to talk to each other, weather it be about the movie you just saw or to just get to know each other. Keep in mind that this would work with or without your friends…Cheers

don’t think like dat and if there is a awkward silence den just ask him about hes life and questions..or also 2 break da ice play would u rather.the game is sample and all u have 2 do is ask he questions like would u rather run naked at school or at mall….the game is fun and sometimes gets GOOD and c wat he will asks u.So where you plan to go should depend whether BOTH of you would have a good time, and not feel out of place. Being comfortable with the place and together would make the date wonderful.
