Dating Tips from a Peer Advocate
September 18th, 2009
Back to school… an exciting time filled with friends, parties, new crushes, and dates. Dating, whether it be with a familiar face, or someone new, can be an exhilarating experience. From the “what to wear” to the “where to go,” going on a date can be both stimulating and panicky. Here are some tips to check out before going on your date…
- Dress in a way that makes you feel best about yourself.
- Be yourself!
- Make sure you let someone know where you are going and who you are going to be with.
- Keep your cell phone on you (if you need some help, or feel a little nervous, excuse yourself and call for back up).
- If you are over 21, keep an eye on your alcohol consumption (being drunk on a first date is neither flattering, nor safe).
- Trust your instinct… if something doesn’t feel “right,” chances are it probably isn’t.
- Know your limits: don’t feel pressured to go anywhere or do anything you are not comfortable with.
i think that these are very good tips and i think that a-lot of young children should listen and learn from these tips.i know a-lot of girls like to be popular and fit in but watch out for what you do.
I would also like to add : Be yourself and be a gentle men is always a great way to go. So many gusy think its stupid to hold doors open or bring flowers but it makes you stand out. Girls LOVE attention like that. And trust me…CALL her the next day or if the date ends early enough and goes faily well…call her that nite to let her know you had a good time. Calling her can make or even break a great date!
Thanks for the helpful tips. I always have my cell phone on me and meet in a public place.
i think that is good but it is diffacult and it hurts a lot to have to go through that and it makes people cry because they go through that

im not sure what you are saying i see that you wish to help teens as well but are you a teen, tween, a child or an adult??
