Things to Remember on a Date

Here are a few suggestions to keep your social life afloat:

1. Boys: Before asking a girl out, do a few voice exercises. Yawn, stretch your throat, maybe even sing a little. this will prevent you from squeaking up to a soprano while you’re asking the girl out.
2. Girls: When being asked out, have pity on the fellow — don’t laugh or say, “Are you serious?”
3. Clean out your car before going on a date. This is common courtesy. But in any case if she sees the car lined with candy wrappers she will assume that you’re going to double your size before you hit 35.
4. Don’t talk about anybody or anything in a derogatory way. On the other hand, she’s bound to be related to them; on the other, she’ll have you down as a “negative thinker,” “cynical,” “self-opinionated,” or simply “insufferable.”
5. Decide in advance where you’re going to eat. That way you’ll have time to practice eating whatever it is you’re going to eat. If, for example you are foolish enough to be going for spaghetti, start practicing weeks ahead of time. While all foods are potentially embarrassing, spaghetti is especially high on the danger list.
6. Be yourself. Don’t show off. On your first date she doesn’t need to know how many trophies you’ve got or how well you did at university. Best to think through in advance the things you have in common if you’re the sort to be stumped for conversation.
7. Fill up with gas before setting out. The media has given running out of gasoline on a date a bad name, and nobody ever seems to believe it when it really happens.
8. Never expect to impress him or her. The dating system is not conducive to making a good impression. Stick to having fun, which at times can be difficult enough.
9. Here’s a comfortable way of ending the date, whether on the front porch, or at the entrance to the girls’ dormitory. Unfortunately, there is no such thing. You’re on your own.
10. Most important of all, keep smiling. Don’t take the whole thing too seriously. If you do, you won’t have any fun, and he or she will go home thinking you’re a “stuffed shirt,” “misery,” or that you’re set on marriage from the start. That’s a scary experience on a first date. Remember: keep a chuckle in your throat, a smile on your lips, a twinkle in your eye — and the dandruff out of your hair. Who knows, maybe you’ll even have a good time.
