Dating is a fun, exciting experience, but it can be a little nerve-wracking if you don’t have much experience in it. Thinking about what you’re going to say, how you're going to act, or what you’re going to wear can all feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be! While there aren’t any set “rules” for dating, if you keep a few guidelines in mind, you can make sure that you and your date both have a good time as you get to know each other more.

Community Q&A
- QuestionIf you like each other but you are too scared to tell each other how you feel, what do you do?Community AnswerTake the initiative and tell them that you like them. The other person will be more willing to open up and explain their feelings if you do it first.
- QuestionWhat if she dating somebody already?Community AnswerIf you know they are already in a committed relationship, you need to wait until it's over before you can ask her out on a date. Otherwise, you can both hang out in a non-romantic atmosphere.
- QuestionDo you just walk up to someone?Community AnswerYou could, but it's easier to establish an existing relationship before going on a date with them. That could be a friendship, an acquaintance, or meeting them online.
Tips
- It’s okay to feel a little nervous before a date—your date is probably nervous too!Thanks
