My first date ever was a disaster. I asked this girl out to see a movie (after months of preparing myself). I was estatic when she said yes. The date started out fine I picked her up at her moms place (this was in high school) but it went downhill from there. I couldn't find anything to say on the way to the movies. She was just sitting there awkwardly in the car while I drove racking my mind to find something interesting to say. Then in the movie theater it got worse. I was just sitting next to her being completely silent and I could tell she was getting more annoyed with me. Well by the end of the movie I think she was completely pissed at me. She made some effort at conversation but I was so nervous I could only muster one word answers. Finally when the movie ended I just blurted out the first thing that came to my mind "do you believe in true love?"...and after I said it I immediatly realized what a cornball thing that was to say. She just looked at me like I was crazy :roll: and I took her back home (again sitting silently in the car) Most of my dates since then have ended up the same way...and that was 9 years ago. My thing is..even IF I muster up the courage to talk to a girl and ask her out..I'm afraid the date will end up turning terribly due to my lack of conversation skills. how do you think of things to say on a date???
