What should I wear on the first date?

I think it is important to look good, but save your best for another time. To use a sports analogy don’t bring your “A game” until you need to show up in the clutch. You want to build off of what you created during the first date and enhance it from there. Looks are important and anyone who says otherwise is blind or a liar, so if you think there will be a second date you can really rope him in if you one up youself on date number two.

Do you care if I don’t like sports?

Funny you should ask, I was just thinking about sports. Being that we are in March*, I’d only go on that first date with you on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. I’m going to need to slam 6-8 beers with my boys and watch 2 schools I normally wouldn’t have any interest in battle it out on the basketball court. And I’ll need to do this 4 days a week throughout the month. And no I don’t like sports more than you, but it’s probably going to be difficult for you to see that right now.

*The following statement also applies to Sundays during Football season, select MLB broadcasts, and every 4th year during the World Cup. I’m free during the Olympics though.

Who pays for dinner?

I’m plenty happy paying for dinner. It’s just the type of person I am. I try to pay for my parents every once in awhile, but they won’t let me. That’s probably why I want to pay for everyone. No wants their parents telling them what to do right? Anywho, you should probably bring some cash just in case . I can’t speak for everyone on the paying thing. If you’re against the idea of having him pay he’ll either be 1) really psyched or 2) need repair to his psyche. It can be a shot to a guy’s ego if you don’t allow him to act like he has a manly presence towards you. Chances are he’ll make his intentions clear at some point during the meal and you can just play off of him or his actions.

Does this make me look fat?

Nope. In fact it makes you look even more beautiful.

Why doesn’t he call?

To be honest if I didn’t call it would most likely mean that I didn’t think things were going to work out. Yeah it lacks tact and everything and as an individual don’t assume this is how I operate, but avoiding an issue is easier to some then owning up to it. Harsh but true. Don’t dwell on it too much because he clearly isn’t worth it if he’s not going to be man enough to confront you.

How can I tell if he likes me?

There are a lot of reasons. Some popular hints would be:

-He goes out with you during the NCAA tournament and doesn’t take you any place with the word “Sports” in its name.

-He remembers a lot of what you said on your previous date.

-He washed. Hey if he took the time to shower at least he is thinking about you.

-He acts clumsy or fidgety around you. It means he’s nervous. If he didn’t like you he’d be way too relaxed.

-He’s motivated to make plans and spend time with you.

-He says “I like you”.
There are several things. Sometimes it may be hard to tell. Some guys aren’t the best at showing emotions, but there are plenty of hints we give on purpose or not. Keeps your eyes and ears peeled.
