I am single. I don't know how to date. I've never been on a date. I have had boyfriends in the past, but they were usually my friends first so we never had official dates.
I have no idea how to get into the dating game. help me.

I don't think there's a rule book on how to date or a set way it should happen.

Personally, I enjoy dating. I usually go into it with an "ehh, whatever" mentality, at least for the first few dates. I've also met guys in completely random places. I've met a guy or two online, one at a show, one in line to vote (we were in line for hours....that's what I got for going to a liberal university in 2004), one when I was hanging out with my roommates in my pajamas and no make up at 11pm or some odd hour...it's cliche, but it does often happen when you're not expecting it. Then, the only thing you have control over is taking the bull by the horns and making sure a date ACTUALLY happens and being friendly, personable, blah blah blah...my reason for not dong a whole lot of online dating is that how many people actually find someone they want to be in a relationship with online? I'm sure it happens, but it seems to more often be a random thing or through friends, etc.
