Dances
Do girls like it when you know 1D, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift, etc?
YES!
Invest in learning 1D, Justin Bieber, and Taylor Swift songs!!
We LOVE it when you aren't afraid to dance and jam out!
Is a date asking her to marry you?
NO!
You should be respectful and kind. But don't take the date so seriosuly. Have fun and learn from the experience!
Asking a girl is so kind and flattering, and you should ask a girl out within 1 month of being 16.
You are going to regret not getting experience noe when you aren't trying to get married. This is an opportunity to make friends!!
Not every girl you ask is your future wife. But treat her like it!
"Simp" vs. nice
being a "simp" isn't a bad thing!! You should be making the girl feel special and sought-after!
You should be prioritizing your education, work, etc, but you can still make her feel important!
If you don't show that you care, she's going to find someone who does.
Honesty, etc.
Who should I ask to dance?
NOT just your friends!
Ask anyone! Especially the girl on the side of the wall!!
Be brave, and ask a girl EVERY slow song! No matter who it is, she will be flattered if you ask her. Don't be embarrassed!
***DO NOT LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANCE!***
Give 3 ways you can impress the parents:
Ex:
Go to the door (don't text them to come outside)
Talk with them! And go inside if they invite you in
Interact with the sibilings!
Don't try to leave so quickly! They want to get to know you!
Does dating have to stay within the Church?
No! Bc your friends don't have to either.
The whole point of having standards is to keep them, even when people around you don't have the same ones.
There are SO many good people not in the Church. So be willing to make friends and ask girls on dates who aren't members. People will respect you for your standards!
Living on the East Coast will test your standards! Commit to your standards now so you're willing to keep them.
What should you wear to a dance?
Casual, comfortable, and basic hygiene!
No sweatpants or suits!!
Suggestions: button-up short (short-sleeve),
Go all out (but too all out!) for themes!
Smell good!!
Who's paying?
Everyone should be going in planning to pay. 50/50 is great. But assume you're paying!
If you don't want to pay a lot of money, don't plan something expensive!! Ex. picnic, make food together, go explore, etc. If you're asking her, you need to be willing to pay. And if you pay, a girl will definitely consider it a date!
Example:
don't hand her a wad of cash in the middle of a movie to pay her back
pay for her 4/$4
Do girls share everything with each other?
YES! Your reputation sticks!
Doesn't mean that you can't repent and become better. We love that!
Conversation Topics (Give 3 example questions)
Basics: name, where she's from, age
Have fun with it! Share what you love.
ASK ABOUT HER! She'll be so flattered!
Have some funny/good questions in your back pocket? And girls should also be asking questions too!
No silence!!!
Plan A Date!
2 steps is best!
Examples:
thrifting outfits
ballroom dancing + mexican food
surfing
explore a new city
picnics
ice skating/playing hide and seek
pumpkin carving + picnic
Tips:
Pick her up if you can!
Be on time!
Do something fun and active, and where you can talk! And EAT!
Boring Dates: movies, making it too long, etc
Practice picking a girl up for the date, and meeting the parents!
Be excited, respectful, and willing to talk with them!
