I have my first date in 3 years, lol.

[Stalin_Skaya]

I went to the bookstore to get my copy of "American psycho". I decided to ask the woman that worked there out. She said yes and now I have a date.

But I have not done this for 3 years. I have let prostitutes warm me at night. I guess it will be a little cheaper with a girlfriend.
So I need some updates.

Is it corny to bring flowers? What should I remember? Help appreciated!

[Junket]

Are you asking the Americans for advice as well?

[vashti]

I don't know that flowers are necessary. What are you going to do on your date? Also, how old are you both?

[Kiechi]

I hope she leaves your sorry ass standing. All the bad luck in the world to you my fiend.

[Gigabitch]

Yeah. Cheaper. That's a good reason to get a girlfriend.

I strongly recommend that you keep your personality subdued at first. Try to be charming. You can let your combative self out later.

[Gribble]

Of course he doesn't want advice from us Americans, Frasbee. After all, we're just a bunch of violent rapists over here, right?

Why, me and my buds were violently raping things just last night!

I'm taking her to a restaurant. I'm 20 and she is around 25, never asked her when we talked before.

Show up on time for your date. Wear appropriate clothing. Be a gentleman and open the doors. Don't order food that has a lot of garlic in it unless she is having garlic, too. Don't order foods that are too crunchy or sloppy, or you will look/sound bad like an animal. Eat with your mouth closed. Make polite conversation. Avoid bashing Americans - she probably knows and likes some. Be VERY polite to the waiter, waitress and busboys. Leave a generous tip. Walk her to her door after your date is over.

Is that enough?

Yes thank you! I would probably order something with garlic. Or something crunchy like nachos. And I never leave any tip just like 1 coin that is like 1/6 of a dollar. You cant buy anything with those lol.

thanks!

I don't think it's common to leave tips outside America, actually. Is that true of your country, Stalin?

Lol are you joking? Don't tell me you're one of those people that think that everything they do in his or hers country is only happening in his or hers country?

Iv been all over and everyone tip everywhere. Especially in poor countries where the tip is their only income.

Edit: Hey, look! Your country wasn't even important enough to be mentioned, Stalin!

[Gribble]

You're such an aggressive little twat. What a poor representative you make. I happen to know for a fact that in many countries it isn't customary to tip servers. In fact, it can be considered an insult.
