Be open and approachable, ask questions of him....and above all just go to have FUN! Keep it light and easy, kind of a getting-to-know you time.

Wow, congrats!!! That is so exciting. The fact that you're going with your friend will help ease your nerves a little bit.


What I find helps me is to think of the guy as a new friend rather than a romantic partner. So as a new friend, I try to learn more about them, find out their interests and see what we have in common. Remember, most folks love to talk about themselves so ask what he's into and take an honest interest in it...


Come back and let us know how it goes!

It's good that you're going with a girl friend.

I agree with cl-bklynchik. If you position him in your mind as a friend, then some of the normal awkwardness eases. Have a great time!
