Hi,

I know this is rather off topic but I wanted to ask a dating question...

So I have a first date tomorrow with a girl I met about a month ago. I have little dating experience (and I'm 21, unfortunately). We have been casual acquaintances since then, but I finally got the courage to ask her out. She's a really amazing person and I really want to impress her. Would it be wrong if I went to her best friend to ask her what kinds of things I can do to make a good impression? Also, is getting flowers for a first date considered cute/thoughtful, or is it just cheesy and stupid?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Forget the friend, just be yourself. If you believe she is a truly amazing person, that will come across by your attitude and your honesty. Good luck. I think it's going to go well.

Don't ask the friend. If she finds out that may not look good for you. Flowers are a bit old fashioned I think. Just be yourself. If you try and put on an act it is only going to come out later on.

The fact that you've known her for a month already is great. She knows at least a little about you already and still likes you enough to go for the date.

I wouldn't worry about trying too hard to impress her. As Marc said, just be yourself. A first date is as much a chance for her to get to know you, as it is for you to get to know her. And I'm sure she wants to get to know you for who you really are, not something you're pretending to be. I would also skip the flowers (unless you know she would really appreciate them). It's a bit old fashioned and may come off as if you're "trying too hard." Just have fun on the date, make sure she enjoys herself too, and hope that both of you will want a second date later.

If you search the relationships forum, http://www.city-data.com/forum/relationships/ , you might find some more advice on the topic.

Make sure you take her to Rutt's Hut. It always makes a big impression.

In Led Zeppelin's defense, they did have a couple of descent make out songs.

I wonder how many people know that is actually "Kashmir" off "Physical Graffiti" and NOT side one of IV (which I always referred to as "Zoso"!)

I'd definitely go with Journey over Led Zep for romantic songs.
