As embarrassing as this sounds I've come to the realization that I've never been on a date before. So taking the extreme leap from nothing to being whatever I am here to some ball seems like a stretch. Or maybe I'm just over reacting. Is anyone out there able to at least provide me with the basics so come Friday night I don't make a giant fool of myself.

I mean I'm already well aware that my date will probably embarrass me. Last major function I saw him at he wanted to eat the center piece. I don't need my own personal blunders to add on to this!

	Just be yourself and try to have fun. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That's a real generic answer that probably isn't going to help Cinderella at the ball. She's obviously got some issues if her date eats decor and she's never been on one before. Hell that's probably why she's stuck with the guy who eat decorations. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Are you just going to run around and be an obnoxious smart alec? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No, but your advice is lame. You just gave a generic response that people give when they don't want to put any effort into helping the person solve their problem but still want to feel like they did something good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My advice isn't lame, its simple. Sometimes its just better to simplify something than to try and over complicate matters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That advice is common knowledge I'm sure this girl here isn't so stupid that she didn't already know that. Though I guess the space between your ears is so empty that you thought you were giving her a real nugget of wisdom there didn't you? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	He does have a bit of point. That doesn't exactly help me. I was actually more or less asking about expected behavior and what is common curtosey at these events. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

From what I can see this is just supposed to be something fun to do with ourselves while we're stuck here. Since the dress code isn't that formal, I'm pretty sure you don't have to act formally yourself.

I'm personally going as the 'date' of someone I don't know very well myself. I don't think lowly of Jou or anything, but I'm really just seeing him as a guaranteed dance partner and someone for me to chat with if I'm not speaking to someone else. If there's no romantic feelings between you and your date, you might try thinking of it that way.

	See you are capable of good advice when you're not pulling cliches out of your ass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm curious why the so called 'intelligent' person you are wasn't offering advice..... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Being intelligent doesn't make me the expert on adolescent girls. I wasn't raised to host the Dating Game I was raised to be the successor of the greatest detective my world has ever known.

Though if I were to point out some advice it would be this. She's the girl in this scenario she has way more power than she actually knows. If this guy isn't a complete half wit the thought of taking her out probably makes him so nervous that he'd throw up. She can get and have anything she wants out of the night but only if she paces herself. If you play all your cards at once it's likely you'll come off pushy and bossy and he'll end up getting put off and bail.

But really just taking and taking would make one a bitch so you should give as much as you take. But never give more than you take because guys are known to take advantage of that.

	Dating is for emotionally weak people who aren't strong enough to get through life on their own two feet so they cling to someone else like a blanket. That's why freak travel in packs. (Reply to this)

	Basically whatcha gotta do is pretend you're at one of Milly's functions. You can laugh and have fun but ya DON'T wanna do anything anyone else there is doing that looks weird. :3 (Reply to this)
