First Date

[Nitrous]

Unless he's into them as much as you, don't talk too much about your chickens

Eye contact lets him know you are interested in him and what he has to say.

Asking him questions makes him feel you are engaged in the conversation and interested. But that works with everybody. If you spent all night doing nothing but asking questions about another person, they would come away saying "I *really* like him/her". Then if you asked what they could tell you about that person... not one thing!

No one can say enough about cooking for your guy. It works, but you don't want to do that right away.

GOOD LUCK!

sunny & the 5 egg layers :

Ice Skating wouldn't be a bad idea either? It is winter after all.

And you can hold mittens, for a reason. No worries about wanting to hold his hand but not being able to get up the nerve to do so. Step onto the ice and flail around a bit, until he grabs your hand "to help you"

Or once you fall, he'll help you up and then just don't let go.

Keep in mind, he's nervous too

My first date was with my husband. I was 18. He was soooooo super shy. Awkward silence is and understatement of our first date! He took me to thee nicest most expensive restaurant around. We'll never be able to afford to go there again! He said maybe 50 words the whole time! Ha ha ha! Good thing I can carry a conversation all by myself. We went walking after and he opened up more. I think a movie would have been a better idea for us as he was and still is so shy. Better for him anyway. So if you or this friend are super shy maybe a movie date would be a good idea.
When he asked me to marry him I thought he was going to pass out! His hands where soaked with sweat. Teee he he my dad told him he couldn't hold my hand until we where engaged. Guys will move fast to get what they want. We where engaged exactly a month after that first date. He said right after I said yes 'give me your hand I can hold it now'
Ahhh good memories... I hope your date goes well and I'll stop rambling now.

Ha ha ha well even dad couldn't miss the big ole rock on my finger. It'll be 10 years for us in February. And he's a great guy! Here he is building me yet another coop for my obsession. Sorry to hijack the thread

Never kiss on the first date.

He pays for everything. Do not offer to pay for anything on a first, second or any date. If he wants you he will work to get you.

If he tries anything funny break his arm.

Make him pick you up at the door. None of this honking crap. He meets your family and friends or he don't go out with you. No excuses.

Act like a lady and make him treat you like one.

Don't use swear words. They don't become a lady.

Don't criticize your dad and watch how he treats or speaks of his mom. It's a good indication how he feels about women.

Never, never settle. If he won't chase you he doesn't really want you. They say a man chases a woman until she lets him catch her.

One thing about DW that I liked was she never ever got drunk or did things to embarrass me. She's a lady and always makes me look good and that ain't easy.

We have a strange and wonderful relationship. I'm strange and she's wonderful.


I wish you a nice first date,

Rancher (dad) Hicks.

Crazy talk. You are telling me every date you've taken girls on you've paid for everything? How would you know if she's along for the company or the free food and drinks?
