Hi friend,
In my opinion your mom is right, just go and have fun because it will be an experience for you. If you want to keep the date low key, then make it a lunch date instead of dinner. Lunch is less pressure, you can dress more casually, and if you don’t hit it off, then you can make your exit gracefully after about an hour. You may feel nervous, but your date will be nervous as well. A person isn't boring because they don't party or don't drink. A boring person is self-centered and only talks about themselves. As with all interactions, give your date your undivided attention, ask questions and be a good listener. On a first date, stay away from controversial topics (politics and religion) until you get to know the person better. |
