First Dates

Here�s an interesting little piece (http://www.nanny.net/blog/10-ways-to-make-a-first-date-the-best-date-ever/), offering ten suggestions, for making the first date a memorable one. Among the suggestions are �be your best self,� �live in the moment,� �don�t apply too much pressure,� �keep your schedule flexible,� and�perhaps most important��have a conversation, don�t perform a monologue.� Asking students to identify the characteristics of a great first date and then comparing them to this list would make a great introduction to the discussion of interpersonal relationships.
