How to Act on a Date (for Boys)

Phychology of a teenager. Add comments

1
Look Nice. This doesn't mean you have to wear a tuxedo, but you also can't show up wearing nice jeans and a t-shirt. Wear a nice button down shirt (but leave the collar unbuttoned), tucked in, and can be done with a blazer jacket or without. If you are going to a expensive restaurant, add maybe a tie. Don't wear dress pants. Slap on your favorite pair of jeans, as long as they're not all ripped up or covered in dirt.

Don't wear anything with bad jokes on it. Bad jokes are definitely a big no-no but words on a t-shirt is more than fine, especially if it's a unique piece/vintage/not seen in most chain stores. It makes you stand out as someone who cares about their casual clothing and isn't just a slave to fashion labels.

Mind your manners. This is a key ingredient for a successful date. No girl likes a guy who's rude and obnoxious, but don't be too formal either.
4
Have good table manners. Chew with your mouth closed, don't slurp your drink, don't talk with your mouth full, burp, fart, or do anything that could be perceived as disgusting. If you do this, then the date will be OVER!!! Place your napkin on your lap, don't tuck it in your collar!!
5
Don't let the conversation be completely focused on you. Talking about only yourself can make you seem arrogant. Ask her about herself, where she went/goes to school, family, etc. Just don't make it too personal if it's your first date, and especially if she does not seem comfortable. Also, be funny and make her laugh.
6
Make a decent departure. Hug each other. Kiss her on the cheek if you want to, but don't go into deep and intimate kissing. And if she gives you her phone number, always call her within 2-3 days afterwards. When you leave a message don't say why you called but just say to call back and leave your phone number even if she has it.

Remember that if it is a first date, she might be just as nervous as you are so don't be too judgmental. Just try to make it fun and relaxing :)
