New to this 'dating scene'


Recommended Posts

Heya,

 

So I got a lunch date tomorrow with this sweet guy I met once last summer. We've just been keeping in touch through MSN since then. I'm really excited, but hella nervous as well since I don't entirely trust myself with keeping my 'cool'.

 

So how should I go about this? I'm a first-year university student and he works full-time in a research firm. I'm already worried about the gap in maturity level here. Not that I can't act my age, it's just that.. I have this assumption that there'll be a clash of interests. He's not that much older than me I think (don't remember actually), but I'm still nervous that I might come off as a bit childish/immature, not composed or not well-rounded, etc.

 

I'm expecting that there'll be staple, getting-to-know-you type of questions to bridge the gap, but how can I talk to someone that might have entirely different interests or communication style than me?

 

The reason I ask is, I need some 'improvement' when it comes to starting conversations or keeping them interesting, since I tend to fall into routine or whatever is in my comfort zone. Plus, this guy is from out-of-town, so he's driving over to my city and I'm kind of expecting that I'll be the one showing him around. The thing is, I'm not entirely confident with my 'tour-guide abilities', plus I'm not always creative when nervous/put on the spot. :s

 

I just don't want to be awkward and really wanna make a good impression. Most importantly, just hoping that things go smoothly and really fun. Can I get some dating advice from the pros? ;) What do guys like to see in a date? And for the chicks, how do you pump yourself up prior to one?
