I'm Having Lunch w/ a College Cheerleader. What should I expect? What should we do?

I've got a lunch date on Friday with a college cheerleader. We haven't met in person, but we know each other from Facebook. I haven't been on a date in quite a long time so I'm a little rusty at the first date thing. Oh, I guess I should mention that she's 17 and I'm 22.





First, what are some ideas of where to go to eat? I was thinking some place like Panera Bread but I'm open to suggestions. Then we could take a walk down to the river and talk there.





Also, if you have any suggestions on how I should dress, act, or what to talk about let me know.





I'm not completely dating incompetent but I don't want to screw this up.





Also, when I meet someone new I tend to talk a lot and end up saying stupid things or getting tongue tied and look like an idiot. Any tips for this?

I think it's cute that you have pre-date jitters. It is common. Your ages are okay; no problem there.





On a first date, personally, I would not go to a secluded place. I would save that to when you know she's feeling comfortable being alone with you.





How about an art gallery? Or community theatre? Or a coffee house where you could maybe play board games and maybe hear live music?





Be yourself. Dress attractive but be comfortable. You'll be fine.





If you catch yourself rambling, just stop talking. Try to be a good listener and respond to her Q's and comments. If you think something you just said sounded stupid, tell her that or ask her. It could be an opportunity to laugh with each other. And laughter will help you both be comfortable with each other. It's healthy to be able to laugh at yourself.





Have a great time!
