The first date...

First Dates. First hellos. First impressions. First mistakes. To me these all fit under the same category and can't be described with a word better then awkward.

A couple of girls in my house have gone on dates recently, usually I sit in the T.V room and secretly wish that I was them, actually its not secret. I let them know how jealous I am.

Today was especially rough when a girl in my house went on a date because the bachlorette was on T.V so instead of watching a girl go on a date with one guy, I flipped on the television to a girl going on a date with thirteen...cool.

I tried to offer advice of what to say, what to do, how to act, what to order. All of my ideas were shot down so fast. I wanted to let all the girls know that I have experience with first dates. Just not second dates.

So I thought I would blog my advice for anyone who wants to go on a great FIRST date.
1) NEVER WAVE....your to eager when you first open the door if you wave you could look spastic, which could look weird, which is never good.
2) Make you sure have practiced your laugh and that your throat is cleared before you think something funny could be said, because you could sound weird, which again is never good.
3) When your order think color. Lets just say LIGHT equals RIGHT..your teeth are light, dark food into light teeth does not look tight.
4) Don't go in for the hug, but angle your body so you could be hugged. If your arms are crossed and he goes in for the hug things could get awkward, and you could accidentally hit him or hurt him which would be bad.
5) Have fun, the key to everything.

Hopefully the girls in my house will get to go on second dates. I won't be able to offer my advice, but I will get to help them get ready.
